Today I am lucky to have Gay Romance Author Jamie Lake as my
guest. He's discussing his Bad Boy series so please sit back, relax and enjoy Jamie
Lake!
For those who aren’t
familiar with the Bad Boy series, tell us about it.
It’s the story of a
really hot teacher who becomes desperate for money when his hours are cut and the only choice he has is to
moonlight as an erotic masseuse for
men. The problem is, he has to keep is profession a secret from the school and it’s right when he meets the guy of his
dreams, who happens to be not only one of his student’s dads but also a cop.
If you could be any
of your characters in Bad Boy for a day, who would you choose and why?
I’d
say Chip cause he’s so hot. I’d touch myself all day. Haha. And also cause he’s a parent and I’d love to be a
dad one day soon. I think I’d love a
daughter but I’m open to whatever God blesses me with.
How long did it take
you to write Bad Boy?
The first Bad Boy book, I think might have taken me a
few weeks. I can write a book in a week or less but by the time it goes through
editing and copy editing, it can take a few weeks, sometimes longer.
How do you plan your
writing day?
Well, I get up first thing in the morning and after taking a
leak and walking the dogs and procrastinating, I’ll try to write in 20 minute sessions.
I usually, that early in the morning, manage to do a couple of sessions before
I take my morning nap and then I wake up and try write at least until 3pm with
those 20 minute sessions. If I have any drive left after that, I try to write
more. I go to bed between 7:30pm-10pm every night but I always get up at 4am
either way. Sometimes I’ll watch a TV show on Amazon Prime before I go to bed.
Writing so many
different series from The Trainer, Boyfriend for Rent, Marked for Love, Stay
Always and Bad Boy, do you ever get the characters mixed up?
No, because I
focus on just one book series at a time. I
could juggle two probably, like write one in the morning and the other in
the afternoon, but I prefer not.
What m/m books other
than your own do you recommend people to read?
I’m a big fan of what Kindle
Alexander and River James are doing. And
I love Sara York. They’re all awesome people.
What are some of the
biggest misconceptions that you think people who don’t read m/m have about the
genre?
Many people assume the books are
all about sex and that seems to be the consensus of what a lot of people think about gay relationships. They
are so focused on the sex part, they don’t
stop to think about the relationship. Many of my straight male friends talk about the exact same relationship
problems with their girlfriends that I’ve
experienced with my boyfriends.

Peter never thought things would get so tough that he’d need
to give out sensual massages in secret in order to make ends meet. He’s a kindergarten
teacher and a good one who loves his job. But being a sensual masseuse by
night, hot as it may be, is not exactly his dream. All he wants is a nice quiet
life and the love of a great guy, a family, and someone who will love him from
the heart and accept him without judgment. But when the school slashes his
hours in half and no other jobs are available, the opportunity to give sensual
massages to men under a secret name seems like the best way out of his current
situation at least for now.
Chip is a tough, macho, blue collar, police detective whose ex
has just died. He is also a dedicated loving single father to a 5-year-old son.
In a town like Las Vegas, he thinks he’ll never meet anyone who is ready to
start a family. He has had his fair share of flakes and liars in his life but
when he finally met his son’s favorite kindergarten teacher, probably the hottest
guy he’d seen in years, his hope is lifted. He just knows, this is the one. Has
he finally met someone who is honest and won’t hide things from him?
For Peter, what he thinks will be a onetime thing turns into
a booming business giving sensual massages at night. Meeting Chip seems like the
welcome change he needs in his life. He is by far, everything he could ever ask
for in a man but it’s not exactly the best time in his life to meet someone.
But if Peter doesn’t jump at the chance to be with Chip, could he be missing
out on the one he’s been waiting for?
Peter promises himself he’ll only do the sensual massages in
secret just until he gets caught up on his bills. Then, he’ll quit. But what will
the school where he works say if they find out what Peter is doing on the side
and what is worse, what will Detective Chip say when he finds out his dream guy
has been a very bad boy?
What will Chip say if he finds out what Peter is doing on the
side? And, what’s worse, what will the school say when they find out this teacher
has been a very bad boy?
