For six months, Danny has lusted after the gorgeous police officer, David Pearce, who patrols the building where he works. He doesn’t imagine, however, for a second that the attraction is mutual. However, when he’s mugged one night after leaving work, the cop who tries to apprehend the mugger turns out to be that same sexy David Pearce. Danny knows the man who attacked him was only hungry and needed food, so he prevents Dave from pursuing him. But in the aftermath of the attack, Danny sees that life is giving him an opportunity to spend time with the man he desires.

Dave is floored by the way Danny steps in between him and the vagrant who mugged him, showing compassion for his attacker. Danny is quiet and strange…and incredibly handsome. He’s been fantasizing about him for almost six months. This quiet act of strength draws him even more strongly to Danny. And even though Danny wouldn’t let him arrest his attacker, he does let Dave drive him home and bring him comfort. That one night of pleasure leads to more – searing passion and incredible mind-blowing sex.

Until Dave’s painful past looms up…then it’ll take more than simmering lust to save the bond they share.

Publisher’s Note: This book contains homoerotic sex acts (male/male intercourse and other sex practices) that may be offensive to some readers.

Excerpt:
Dave stared at him. “You know all of them, just like that?”

Danny nodded, bowing his head in that modest way again. “Yes. I learned them with Master Chen, Meg’s grandfather.”

“What do you do once you’ve painted all of them?”

Danny smiled. “I paint over the walls and start again.”

He shook his head. “Amazing.” He fell silent and studied Danny’s face again. “You’ve got a lot going on in you, don’t you?”

Danny gazed up at him and Dave wondered if he realized the effect his eyes had on him. “Not any more than you do.”

A strange tingle of warmth traveled through his chest. Something in the way Danny had said that moved him, as if he understood something about him that no one else in his life ever had. “I don’t think so. I’m just a cop. There’s nothing complex about that.” He was reluctant to share more details than that about his life, which, true to Danny’s words, was complex below the surface. If Danny knew about his life, about the past and what had happened.

“I don’t see you that way,” Danny said softly. “You’re being unfair to yourself.”

The heat in his chest moved up his neck into his cheeks. It had been forever since he’d blushed. “Well, I suppose. How do you see me, if I may ask?” He couldn’t help the sudden, overwhelming curiosity to know what Danny thought.

Danny’s eyes softened more, appearing almost to melt. “I see that you’ve suffered a lot and that you’re basically kind.”

The heat in his cheeks increased several degrees. Danny’s voice felt like it was caressing him on the inside. The rawness and beauty of it was both exhilarating and terrifying. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t know what to do. If Danny were anyone else, they would have already been in bed, devouring each other, not talking about their inner lives. “I never thought of myself as kind,” he said, “But I appreciate that you feel that way.”

Danny gazed at him a moment longer before a gentle smile curved his lips. He reached up and touched Dave’s cheeks, his fingertips brushing his skin gently. The touch was electrifying, sending fingers of tingling heat through his entire body. How a touch could be so sensuous and comforting all at once he didn’t begin to know.

“You can rest here,” Danny said.

Dave stared at him, his gaze lingering on Danny’s full soft lips, at the dark hints of moustache. Like the night before, he couldn’t wait any longer. He had to taste him again. “Thank you,” he managed to say. His voice was nearly a whisper, catching in his throat, trapped by the sudden swirl of emotions.

He reached up, slipping his fingers into Danny’s hair. The sleekness of his against the pads of his fingertips sent another thrill of heat down his arm. The nearly overwhelming impulse to crush his mouth down onto Danny’s rose up, but he didn’t act on it. He couldn’t. Something made him cautious with Danny, respectful in approaching him. He didn’t want to scare him away, yet he also wanted to.appreciate him. He leaned in to him, moving his face closer. Danny’s clean scent filled his nostrils. He could hear the soft rise and fall of Danny’s breath. The quiet gentle sound was oddly comforting.

Danny’s hands still rested on his cheeks, his thumbs brushing back and forth across Dave’s skin. He lifted his face closer to Dave’s, making it clear he wanted to kiss him too.

Dave’s fingers moved deeper into Danny’s hair, savoring the smoothness, cradling his head. He closed his eyes and pressed his lips to Danny’s, a tiny sigh escaping his throat from the contact.

Danny’s lips parted slightly and his tongue brushed tentatively across the seam of Dave’s lips. He seemed to be exploring the feel and taste of him.

Dave let him in, meeting him with the tip of his tongue. The moist heat of their mouths melted together and Dave pulled him closer, relishing the smooth taste of his lips and tongue, appreciating the way Danny’s scent heated him deep inside. He let his other hand caress Danny’s back over his sweater, longing to feel his bare skin and lean muscles against his fingertips and palm.

Danny’s hands slid down Dave’s cheeks, the fingertips brushing the sides of his throat and coming to rest on his chest. His kiss was still gentle, yet Dave heard Danny’s breath rasping more heavily and felt his back rising and falling deeply under his hands. His tongue slid in rising strokes of hunger against Dave’s and his hands pressed more firmly on Dave’s chest.

Gently, Dave pulled away from their kiss and looked at Danny’s face. Danny’s golden skin was flushed a darker shade and his eyes smoldered. His already full lips were slightly swollen from the kisses.

Dave’s heart and body surged with joy at the physical evidence that Danny wanted him as much as he did. But that same sense of caution and respect stayed with him. He knew Danny was inexperienced and he wanted to make it good for him. “I don’t want to push you, you know,” he said, even though his arousal made speech difficult.

A tiny smile tugged at Danny’s lips. “I know. You’re not pushing me.”

Dave continued to look at him, a simple act he was finding very pleasurable. From where he stood, Danny was handsome enough to be a model or a movie actor. His hands remained splayed on Danny’s back, caressing him in small circles. An erection swelled uncomfortably against his long underwear bottoms and he wanted nothing more than to release it and stretch the length of his naked body against Danny’s. He just wasn’t sure how to take the next step that would bring them there.

Fortunately, and to his surprise, he didn’t have to figure it out. In the next moment, Danny picked up his hand and started leading him toward the back of the apartment.

Dave’s stomach fluttered, along with his heart. Damn, he felt like the luckiest guy on earth.

Then he remembered that Danny had been making tea when he came out and found Dave looking at his painting. He grinned as they went through the doorway of a bedroom.

Screw the tea. The tea could wait. All night, if his good fortune held out.

Happy New Year everyone! I’ve not been able to update for two weeks now but I just got back from Georgia. I’m happy to say I had wonderful holidays meeting sweet people and eating incredible food! We were supposed to be back a week ago but the traffic on I-95 was so horrendous, backed up for miles and miles that we turned back around and stayed for another week.

Right now, I’m just setttling in and have to get back to unpacking but I wanted to post real quick. I had a new release yesterday and am going to post more about that as soon as I can. I’m happy that it’s a New Year, though. 2008 kicked my butt in so many ways. But hopefully, this coming year will have some turns in fortune. I’ll post again as soon as I can.

Sorry I haven’t been able to post much. There’s been a lot happening and to top it all, I’ve had to give up coffee. For anyone who loves the stuff as much as I do, you’ll understand how this was the last and only substance I ever wanted to give up. But health issues are dictating that I need to what I have to do rather than what my taste buds would want.

Sooo, aside from the headaches, nausea of withdrawal and some powerful antibiotics I’m on, I’m giving myself a small vacation from writing. I never usually do that. I write straight through every time, weekends holidays, whatever. They’re all the same to me. Though now I need the refresher to stand back and take stock of all the projects in my computer to be tackled for 2009. It’s not clear at all where I need to focus and I’m usually incredibly clear on that sort of thing.

I hope you all have a wonderful, healthy and happy holiday. I’m heading to Georgia until just before the New Year, so as usual, updating the blog will be difficult. I hope to be able to post by the New Year. Please take care, please keep visiting my blog in the future and a million thanks for having come to read this blog in the first place!

Best, Sedonia

I’m thrilled to announce that the out-of-print issues for my White Tigers books are being resolved and they’re coming back into availablility! I’m so excited because well, it’s completely a downer for an author to have their finished product in existence and have no way to get it out there. But now, that’s gett ing better. So far, the books are available at Amazon UK. But by the beginning of 2009, they should be available at all the places they were available before. I can’t wait!

I stumbled across a review for this antho on a site called Erotic Horizons. It’s always niuce to stumble onto favourable reviews. I’ve happened to come across some real vicious ones at times. Thankfully, those have been in the minority! Anyway, this was what the reviewer had to say:

Fifteen years earlier Tim and Basho, the most unlikely of boys, were in the first phase of a romance that had so much potential. Basho is killed and Tim is left with not only heartache and ‘what ifs’, but also a sense of unfinished business. He decides to close that chapter of his life and goes to Tokyo to visit Basho’s grave. Staying at the White Tiger hotel Tim not only learns more about himself and the boy he was in love with but also gets the surprise of his life.
A short story involving two gentle souls that have lost so much, but gain a whole world of experience from all the trauma and upheaval they have gone through their entire life. Both are quiet men, who have known and accepted that the other is their one true and life long love. YIN YANG is Sedonia Guillone at her best….All in all FABULOUS BRIT is a fun Anthology by six great authors. The stories are short enough to keep you on the go and contain enough depth for you to see the best of the respective authors. A read everyone will enjoy.

Just finished edits for this one a few minutes ago and sent them off to my editor. That’s always a nice feeling. Edits get me stressed because there’s a deadline. This book was cut especially close since the release date is January 5, 2009. Yay!

And, as far as M/M books go, I’ve been reading a wonderful murder mystery, Death Trick by Richard Stevenson. (Recommended to me by my dad of all people.) It’s a series with a gay private investigator in Albany New York who solves murders. There is sex in the books and they’re incredibly written, fun as hell to read with great, vivid characters. Unfortnately, however, they were written in the seventies, pre-AIDS era and so I’m reading the stories, thinking, these poor men, they don’t know what’s about to happen in a few years! I lived through that period with my father’s friends. It was heart-wrenching. Nearly every day we’d have another friend who was dying. In fact, Danny’s Dragon is dedicated in part to one of my dear friends, Logan, who was one of the victims. I’m sorry to mix a recommendation of a good read in with such sad memories, but in my life, they were inextricably linked.

Excerpt:

Zed still watched her, his eyes smoldering with a poignant blend of sadness and what she hoped was desire. Dave had never looked at her this way in their two years together, as if he wanted to be alone with her in the world. No man had. Until now …

“Zed, do you need anything else?” She didn’t know what else to say. The way he was watching her, with that potent mixture of fire, tenderness and need, stole all her thoughts and words.

A tiny muscle in his jaw twitched and the blue-gray color of his eyes darkened visibly. He nodded. “I do, Kristin. Very much so.” His voice was low, husky.

A tremor coursed through her, causing her heart to pound fiercely. “What is it?” She ached with desire that almost robbed her of speech.

He took a step toward her. “I need to lose myself in your sweetness.”

Her breath caught sharply. Never before had anyone said such a thing to her. The words caused her blood to swirl icy-hot in her veins. Her pussy throbbed with need. She wanted nothing else but for Zed to fill her, surround her with rugged maleness. She wanted him to possess her, make her his and his alone. Desire weakened her body weakened so much, she had to support herself with a hand on the counter. “Zed …”

Zed took another step toward her. “Is it all right?” His voice rasped, thick with the lust that simmered between them in the tiny kitchen.

Her gaze flickered over his body, from the chest muscles outlined underneath his sweater to the bulge tenting the front of his jeans. Unable to speak, she nodded.

No sooner had she done so, than Zed took the final step, which brought him to her. His eyes, glazed with desire, caressed her face and then traveled down her body, as if he were imagining what she looked like under her clothes. Wordlessly, he took hold of the bottom of her sweater, lifting it until Kristin had to raise her arms.

The movement pulled her shirt out from the waist of her jeans, and it peeled off along with her sweater. Zed lifted both away from her and tossed them onto the counter, leaving her only in her cotton camisole and jeans.

She watched his eyes widen, hungrily taking in the sight of her bare arms and shoulders and the small expanse of pale flesh where the neckline of her camisole scooped to just above her breasts. She didn’t wear a bra in winter under so many layers of clothes, so her nipples, hardened peaks of arousal, tented the soft material, aching for his touch.

Zed’s gaze lowered to the taut buds. He raised his hand to them, brushing trembling fingertips back and forth over each one.

His touch caused her nipples to tingle and send invisible cords of heat traveling into the moist depths of her already swollen pussy.

A soft growl emanated from his throat, and his hand closed gently around her right breast, squeezing the aching orb of flesh sensuously. “Kristin,” he breathed, “I want you so badly.”

Kristin’s eyes fluttered closed, and she tilted her head back, moaning softly. It had been so long since she’d known a man’s touch, and Zed’s hungry yet passionate exploration was unlike anything she’d ever experienced before.

Zed’s hand lifted from her breast and she opened her eyes in time to see him removing his sweater and shirt. He dropped them to the floor, revealing a broad chest with swirls of dark blond hair that tapered in a line down his tight stomach and disappeared into his jeans.

Kristin caught her breath. On impulse, she reached out, resting the palms of both hands on his heaving chest. The hard slopes of muscle quivered under her touch and he reached out, pulling her close against him.

His fingertips slipped under her camisole, exploring her bare skin as she did the same to him. Hard ridges of muscle flexed under her fingertips, his bare skin masculine and warm. His male scent, musky and wild, filled her nostrils and she pressed her lips to his chest, delighting in the salty skin and crisp hair under her lips and tongue.

Another sexy growl issued deep in Zed’s throat and Kristin felt the vibration of it under her hands. She couldn’t believe he was experiencing such intense desire and pleasure simply from her touch and reveled in the feminine power it gave her. Gently, she squeezed his hard pectoral muscles just before he bowed his head and pressed warm, hungry lips to the side of her neck.

Zed feathered the tip of his tongue over the sensitive skin, heightening her already flaming arousal.

She moaned softly, tilting her head back to give him access to her throat, which he showered with moist, hot kisses. Her hands slid down his warm skin, her fingertips vividly aware of the landscape of chiseled muscle, and came to rest on the sides of his slim waist.

Zed’s hands skated down her back and took hold of her camisole. The thin, stretchy material brushed her nipples as he lifted it up. Again she raised her arms and felt her breasts being exposed as he pulled the camisole away and dropped it onto the pile of her clothes on the counter.

His already smoldering eyes widened when he looked on her bare breasts. “Kristin, you’re so beautiful.”

She looked up at him, torn between feeling unbelievably flattered and abashed. “Thank you,” she whispered. She trembled under his appreciative gaze.

Zed cupped one breast, tenderly brushing his thumb across the nipple. The rosy peak tingled fiercely and she sucked in her breath at the sheer pleasure, instinctively arching her back to push her breast deeper into his hand.

“Mmm,” he murmured against her skin. He pressed a trail of sensuous kisses down her throat to the base of her neck, tracing her collarbone with the tip of his tongue.

Kristin laced the fingers of both hands into his dark blond mane, following the movement of his head downward over her chest to her breasts.

He didn’t stop until his mouth closed over her nipple, gently tugging it with his lips and tongue. The hot moisture and friction on the erect tip sent darts of heat shooting through her entire body. She moaned again, whispering his name, her eyes closed, her head tilted back.

He feasted for a long time on both her breasts before lifting his face and looking down at her, his broad chest heaving, his features darkly flushed. Without speaking, he put his hands on her shoulders and gently guided her, pressing her back firmly against the wall.

Lone wolf Zed Ashton has a problem. It’s not bad enough that Carrick destroyed his life, took away his position as pack alpha, and left him crippled. No, now Carrick is back – on Christmas eve – to finish the job he started. Forced out of his solitude, Zed turns to Kristin, the pretty waitress at the local diner for help. He doesn’t know her, but he’s attracted to her, powerfully, in a way that makes him think she might just be his mate.

Kristin Havers has a secret crush on the mysterious Englishman who has moved to her small town in Maine. Working part-time in the local diner, she waits on him every day and watches him. Though she wonders about the handsome loner with paint on his hands, she’s sure he could never find her as fascinating as she does him. So, when Zed turns up at the diner on a lonely Christmas Eve in need of her help and comfort, it’s a no brainer: she gives it to him wholeheartedly, body and soul. Little does she know she’s getting a werewolf for Christmas…

I don’t know, maybe “conceited” is a harsh judgement, but I’ve just finished re-reading this book for the third time (not counting rounds of edits) and I wrote the darn thing! I can’t explain it, but I just love this book. I adore the characters, especially Naoto who to me, is so hot. The only other book in recent years that I’ve read three times is Dark Designs (Black Lace) by Madelynne Ellis because I simply adore one of the heroes of the menage, Takeshi.

I’m still making my way through Fuurin Kazan, watching a couple of episodes here and there when I get a chance. It really is wonderful and Uchino Masaaki who plays Kansuke Yamamoto, the lead character reminds me so much of Toshiro Mifune, from his appearance and voice to the intensity of his acting. Surprisingly, however, I find that my favourite character actually is Takeda Harunobu, the head of the Takeda clan. He is turning out to be a most sympathetic character and the one who has had to face some of the most difficult choices and work the hardest to retain his basically good-hearted nature. As a young man he was only interested in art and poetry but his teacher insisted that he grow up and take his proper place in the lineage. His father was angry at him for being what he considered a fool but Harunobu proves himself as a warrior and leader and eventually deposes his father, banishing him from their province. Of course, the circumstances are complex and Harunobu’s actions appear completely understandable as he does so to save his province from constant war and famine due to his father’s ongoing war-mongering.

The other news is that I will be going up to Georgia starting tomorrow morning and will be there for close to a week, so I probably won’t be able to update the blog until then. I hope you’ll bear with me!

Yesterday I finally finished revising Men of Tokyo: Sudden Heat and turned it into my editor at Total-E-Bound. The book comes in at a whopping 83,500 words or the equivalent of roughly a 330-page novel. Whew! No wonder I’m so worn out.

Overall I’m happy with the story although each book leaves me hungry in the sense that I want to delve ever more deeply into the lives of the characters. If I had my way, I’d begin so much earlier in their lives and write the narratives of their experiences leading up to the romances that eventually change their lives for the better. This impulse has been there for a while but has been deepening, probably as a result of reading this author Howard Fast. He is so remarkable a storyteller that as a writer, I can’t help but be influenced by the depth and beauty of his work.

I imagine I will attempt this with Kiku’s story. His story is compelling to me and is just straining to come out.

I love Sedonia Guillone’s stories and this is the first m/f work of hers I’ve read that didn’t feature the Dragon/Tigress concept. It does feature a very hot Asian hero though, and I loved both Kass and Lian. They’re strong, sympathetic characters who complement each other perfectly. I’m not one for futuristic stories but this was great, romantic and sexy and full of action. 5 Flutes. — Cocktail Reviews

Excerpt

He hovered over her. The muscles of his arms flexed as he bent closer. His obvious erection strained the front of his loincloth and his warm breath caressed her skin. He reached out.

Kass yanked backward, away from him, but she could barely move an inch. She clenched her teeth and stared at him.

His hand remained over her and he pressed his fingers to her bare shoulder, his touch surprisingly gentle.

She yanked back, halted again by the bonds. Her breath came in short hard gasps as her second dream was crushed. Strange men had already seen her naked and one had pawed her. And now another one was about to take her virginity. None of them, Lian.

The man slid his fingertips down her bare arm. His touch was like a trail of fire against her skin.

Against her will, her body responded. A warm tingling sensation erupted wherever their skin made contact. She fought back hard, thrashed around to avoid his fingertips. Nothing worked. He kept his touch on her arm, squeezed it gently in his hold.

That aching pulse in the juncture between her thighs intensified, blended with the continuous drumbeat. At twenty-one, she’d never known a man’s sensual touch or kiss and with each passing second, her body awakened more, made her painfully aware of a near lifetime of unrequited desires and needs.

He trailed his fingertips back up her arm. The sensitive skin at the inner juncture of her elbow tingled from the warm touch. She pulled back, against her cuffs, horrified at her body’s response.

As if sensing the budding of desire in her, he skimmed the palm of his hand across her breasts, over the lacy material and heat zinged through Kass’s nipples. A surge of anger heated her blood. Damn Lian. If he hadn’t tried so hard to get them to escape, maybe they wouldn’t have gotten caught. They’d still be together. She wouldn’t be here, forced to submit to another man.

Not that Lian had ever promised her anything.

The man leaned over her, a bit closer, and the masculine heat and scent of his body invaded her. She tilted her head back to avoid his simmering blue gaze. His fingertips slip over her mound, grazed that most intimate part of her over the thin panel of lace.

She fought the hazy pleasure that threatened to saturate her. He was seducing her, she realized. He wasn’t forcing her, damn him. He was making her want him, coaxing her body to relax and her sex to become slippery. Preparing her body for his possession.

When she dared to glance at his face, his hungry gaze was riveted on hers. The drumbeat mingled with their heavy breathing. She pulled back again, thrashed around, but he continued to touch her, caressed her over the negligee, first one breast, then the other.

Kass closed her eyes again. Guilt and desire warred inside her. The only comfort her conscience had was that Lian had never told her he loved her, never promised her anything.

The man reached under the black lace and slid his fingertips across her stomach. Kass’s traitorous body tingled and relaxed under his sensual caress. Her body seemed to have its own will and its need for touch, for satisfaction overwhelmed her. In that moment, the physical pleasure offered comfort. Her desolation over Lian had something to take its place.

Gingerly, he pulled open the lace tie on the negligee. His fingertips brushed her skin. She caught her breath. The filmy material fell to each side, completely revealing her body, naked except for the tiny covering of lace thong.

He groaned softly and knelt over her. His erection tented the white cloth of his tunic and Kass’s resistance slipped several more notches. She felt a wild desire to see the cock underneath it, to feel it fill her. Her body tensed and pulled in its restraints.

His fingers hovered an inch above her stomach then he touched her again. The pads of his fingertips sent warm shudders through her flesh. His touch remained gentle, seductive, and her disloyal body ached for more.

He slid his fingers upward, slowly traced the undersides of her breasts. Her breath hitched as he closed one hand over her left breast and squeezed it softly, gently pinched the nipple between the lengths of his index and middle finger.

Tingling fire pulsated through her nipple with each tiny squeeze. The sensation traveled down between her legs, weakened her, made her sex ache with want. Instinctively, before she could stop herself, she arched her back up into his hand, her eyes closed.

As if hearing her command, he lowered his face to her other breast and took her nipple into his mouth. The warm moist swirl of his tongue over the sensitive skin was a more pleasurable sensation than she could ever have imagined and the bud tightened.

She moaned softly, strained against her bonds. Her hands now ached to roam over that muscular body, to explore the ridges and hardness with her fingertips, and close her hand around his rigid cock. That male part had always been a mystery to her and the frustration of not being able to reach under his loincloth was both teasing and maddening.

He tugged sensuously on her nipple while his hand left her other breast. He skimmed his fingertips down her stomach toward her sex.

Kass pulled in a breath and lifted her hips slightly. Her control slipped. Her needs took over and she whimpered, encouraging him.

He answered, slid his fingers under the elastic of the thong, raked his fingers softly through the patch of curls on her mound and teased his fingertips up and down her slit.

She moaned again, her legs fell open, aching for a deeper touch. In her mind, she imagined it was Lian who touched her and she no longer cared that there were other eyes behind the glass, feasting on the most intimate parts of her body.

He centered his touch on the engorged nub of her clit and rubbed it in tiny circles. She moaned again and bucked her hips softly, demanding more. Heat swirled through her loins, and her juices coated his fingertips.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the room. She gasped and her gaze shot in the direction of the door, which now swung wide open. The man pulled his hand away from her sex and sat up, looking to see what had happened.

Kass caught her breath. At first she thought it was a ghost, a trick of her mind. The heated blood swirling through her body concentrated in her heart, which gave a sudden leap of joy in her chest.

He wasn’t dead.

He was here.

Standing in the doorway, dressed in the same kind of scanty loincloth as the other man, watching her, his dark eyes blazing, was Lian.

I thought it was today, the 28th but it was actually yesterday. Born November 27, 1940, Bruce Lee was not only a dragon in the Chinese zodiac but he was also a Sagittarian in our zodiac. That makes him a double fire sign!
Here’s a little bit about his life followed with a link to learn more: In a lifetime comprising a mere 32 years, Bruce Lee revolutionized the world of martial arts through his profound teachings and philosophy, and created a legacy through his work in motion pictures, that has evolved into a Legend. Thought by many to be the ‘Greatest martial artist of the 20th Century’, Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco on November 27th 1940, between 6:00am and 8:00am, at the Jackson Street Hospital, under the birth name of ‘Lee Jun Fan’. Courtesy of his thespian father, young Bruce made his stage debut at the tender age of three months, playing the role of a female baby. His father Lee Hoi Chuen, a prestigious member of ‘The Cantonese Opera Company’, would carry his young son on stage each night, during his performance of “Golden Gate Girl”.
In 1941, when Bruce was only 1 year old, he returned with his parents to the family home in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The modest second-storey apartment, at 218 Nathan Road, would be Bruce’s home for most of his formative years.

By age six, Bruce had already begun to develop the charisma and confidence that would later make him a star, and he appeared in his first major childhood movie, “The Beginning of a Boy” in 1946. Later in the same year, Bruce performed in “The Birth of Mankind” and “My Son, Ah Cheun” and went on to make over 20 movies, before commencing his studies at “La Salle College” in 1952.

1953 was a pivotal year in the life of Bruce Lee. After losing a street fight with a local gang, Bruce began to train in the art of Wing Chun under famed Sifu, Yip Man. His natural speed and timing, and acute mental focus, guaranteed that Bruce would excel in this complex and exacting art. In fact his precocious talent developed so quickly, that despite numerous other encounters with street gangs, Bruce would never again lose a fight. As well as indulging his passion for the martial arts, Bruce also began taking Cha Cha lessions in 1954, at age fourteen. The dance was popular amongst local teenagers at the time, and Bruce not only went on to win the ‘Crown Colony Cha-Cha Championship’ in 1958, but also broke the hearts of many local girls. As well as his achievements on the dance-floor, ‘58 is also notable as the year when Bruce defeated reigning three year champion, Gary Elms, in the Hong Kong Boxing Championships, putting to practical use the combat theory he had devised with Sifu Yip Man. Like many Hong Kong teenagers of the time, Bruce became caught up in the ‘turf wars’ which surrounded the illicit activities of the local street-gangs. Participating in numerous street-fighting incidents, Bruce soon came to the attention of the police. Terrified that their son would forever become embroiled in a life of crime, Bruce’s mother and father, decided that he should visit San Francisco, the place of his birth, to claim his American Citizenship and finish his education.

With only fifteen dollars from his father and one hundred dollars from his mother, Bruce arrives in the United States in 1959, and stays, by prior arrangement, with an old friend of his father. By carrying out odd jobs around the Chinese Communities in the San Francisco Bay area, Bruce earns just enough money to secure his independence within a few months, and relocates to Seattle (Washington) to begin work as a waiter in Ruby Chow’s famous Chinatown restaurant. Mindful of the promise he made to his parents, Bruce enrols at the ‘Edison Technical School’ and through diligent study and application earns his high school diploma, while supplementing his income from the restaurant by teaching martial arts to local residents in backyards and city parks.

To me he was a dynamic, fascinating human being. To learn more about him, visit this site.
