Today I did edits for A Werewolf for Christmas. I’ve also picked up Fantasy Thief again after setting down well over a year now. I really got sidetracked by my White Tigers series which I adore! Even so, I managed to put in one link to the men at the White Tiger to the hero in Fantasy Thief even though the hero in this story, Takeshi, is straight. Takeshi’s grandfather back in Tokyo is the elderly man who frequents the White Tiger and who is waited on by Ryu all the time. Old Mr. Hamura is mentioned briefly in Men of Phuket: Tongue-Thai’d and in Men of Tokyo: Sudden Bliss, he appears briefly walking through the hotel with Ryu. Mr. Hamura, though we don’t really meet him, was a cool guy, really loving with his grandson and, we learn, ends up being a true friend to Ryu.
Perhaps looking at those pics of Gackt really did give me the inspiration I’ve been needing! Madelynne sent me another picture of Gackt, this one which had served as the inspiration for her character, Takeshi, in her Black Lace erotic romance Dark Designs which I love so much I’ve begun to read a third time! I can’t get enough of the character she created. Inspiration below…
