Today we welcome Siren Man Love Author, Andrew Jericho. Andrew's new release is Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll and we have two excerpts from the book following the interview. So, lets see what Andrew has to tell us.
Getting Started:
Tell
us about your latest book. What was your inspiration for writing it, is it part
of an ongoing series, the characters, the genre etc?
Sex,
Love, and Rock ‘n’ Roll, is the second book in the Rock Stars series, inspired
by the glam bands of the 80’s and 90’s—the big hair, make-up, drama, and
sexuality. The lifestyle of the Rock
Hard band members reflects that time period.
I would further describe the book by saying, “nothing but jealous hearts
when the insanity hits.” Romantic. Passionate.
Erotic. All three words in that order, as the men in the story blend
romance with passionate eroticism. My
writing is not for the faint of heart, as my readers know what to expect.
Both
titles in the series are MMMMM erotic romances.
There are five men, and five committed hearts. Not only do I depict their relationship
dynamics, but I have explored the sexuality each of them share individually, as
couples, and finally as a ménage à cinq. Also, I’ve woven a book series where
the activities of a rock ‘n’ roll band cross over into a more intimate
portrayal of the men behind the music.
About your writing:
How many books
have you written during your career so far and which is your favorite?
I have written
six books. My favorite title is Something Beautiful. The story is complex,
intense, and mysterious, but tender and passionate. All of which are traits I
use to describe myself. Also, Something Beautiful tells the story of
Reed, a gay transgender man and his partner’s Levon and Avery. I am a gay
transgender man and live real life ManLove with John.
Have any of your books received negative reviews and how did you handle the situation?
I have had
negative reviews, as likely all authors have.
Not everyone will like a writer’s work.
For every negative review, there is always a reader who has positive
comments about a book.
Do you believe in writer’s block and if so, how do you overcome it?
I get writer’s
block all the time. In addition, I am a slow writer. My theory for coping is
when a story is ready to be told I will write it. I cannot force the process.
What is the one genre you would never write and why?
I would never
write anything outside of ManLove romance. While I am not opposed to other
genres, I do not have experience with any relationship dynamics other than the
love shared between men.
Have you ever
written a book that you’ve regretted publishing and why?
I do not regret
publishing any of my work. However, if
given the chance, I could always find something to be tweaked in any of my
published books.
If a reader
said they wanted to write a book, what advice would you give them?
The first step is
getting published. The next? Promote, promote, promote! Also when writing,
don’t be afraid to share your thoughts. There will be people out there who
respect you, not only for your ideas, but for your honesty.
About you:
Tell us what a
typical day in your life is like?
My partner John
and I are just two gay men navigating life.
Our household consists of two children, my mother (I moved her in with
us after the death of my father in late 2012) two adult cats, and our latest
addition, a six week old kitten name, Molly.
There is our professional work, household chores, and spending time with
family. We are always seeking a
balance.
What sort of things put you in a bad mood?
I am a man of
routine and order. Chaos makes me
nervous.
Do you have a bucket list and what’s one thing you still want to do that you
haven’t done?
I want to grow
old with my partner and watch our two children create lives of their own.
What makes you
laugh?
John is a comedian. He can always
put a smile on my face.
What is the most embarrassing thing
you’ve ever done?
In addition to being a ManLove
erotic romance author and LGBTQ rights activist, I also do freelance
photography. During my first year as a
photographer, I was on an important photo shoot and could not figure out why my
camera would not work. I hadn’t turned
it on.
Do you
like to read and what are you reading at the moment?
I am fond of the romantic poets:
Wordsworth, Keats, Bryon, Coleridge, and Shelley. The favorite works among them
would be far too many to list. In
addition, I also read ManLove titles.
If you couldn’t write anymore,
what would you do instead?
I would continue my work as a
freelance photographer and LGBTQ rights activist.
Fun Stuff:
If you could go out with one famous person who would it be and why?
John and I are monogamous.
However, we’ve jokingly said Zachary Quinto could fill the spot between
us in bed. Rarely, do we find the same
types of men attractive. John likes the
more dominant gay males, while I prefer the flamboyant types. Both of us believe Zachary is a mixture of
the two personalities.
Do you have a habit that drives your partner/friends/family nuts and
what is it?
I can be OCD.
In your opinion, what makes a person attractive?
The first thing I noticed about my partner was his flamboyance, his
smooth and slender physique, and deep blue eyes.
What is the strangest food
you’ve ever eaten?
When I was growing up, my mother
made cow’s tongue.
Would you rather have a
classic 1969 convertible Mustang or have the use of a beach side condo any time
you want?
I would rather have the classic 1969 convertible Mustang.
And finally:
Would
you rather survive an apocalyptic event (yes, even a zombie apocalypse) or die
instantly without knowing what happened to your family and friends?
I
hope my family and I would survive.
Thanks for being here Andrew, I loved your answers, they were fascinating. We have more than just writing in common as I can be a bit OCD myself, I blame it on being a Virgo...lol. Now it's time to take a look at the new book.

Sex, love, and rock ‘n’ roll are all Adam believes is holding the band Rock Hard together. In the week’s following their last concert, Adam, Deuce, L.T., and Jamie have not held a practice, and their new album is unfinished. The jealousies and secrets that almost tore them apart have changed to new conflicts. In a fit of rage, Jamie tells Adam that the five of them are nothing but “jealous hearts,” when the insanity hits.
Zane, the band’s physician, is now living at the Rock Hard mansion full time. He believes that the four men, who have captured his heart, need the love of a real man to keep them grounded. As each man turns to Zane for comfort, Adam realizes they all need time to heal. In what Zane calls a “tremendous act of love and devotion,” Adam gives a heartfelt message to Rock Hard’s fans in the hopes they can begin a new chapter in their lives.
A Siren Erotic Romance: [PolyAmour ManLove: Erotic Alternative Multiple Partner Romance, M/M/M/M/M, intersex hero, cross-dressing, sex toys, HFN].
Note: This book contains drug use.
Excerpt 1:
Adam felt a combination of emotions, all fighting their way for recognition. Sitting down on his bed, he reached for some loose pieces of sheet music on the nightstand. He looked at the finished product of Zane’s song, “A Forever Love.” Jamie was right, what had started as his heart speaking in lyrics to his new husband, should now be a testament to all of their jealousies. Picking up his pen nearby, Adam angrily scratched out the title, replacing it with “Jealous Hearts.” When that didn’t appease him, Adam ripped the pieces of paper in one smooth motion, tearing them in two. As the torn music fell at his feet, the front man thought for a brief moment that his actions were symbolic of the drama and chaos still present in his household.
He decided there would not be a song titled, “A Forever Love.” Nor would he ever write another power ballad for just one man. He made that mistake himself. Closing his eyes, Adam sank backward onto the bed. His thoughts returned to the last night of their tour, six weeks ago, at the arena in Little Rock. I’m dedicating this next song to Zane. The guys and I are in the process of working on a new album. There will be another power ballad titled, “A Forever Love.” The song was written in love…written for the man I’m holding in my arms.
As those words circled though his mind, Adam knew one of his mistakes was singling out Zane that night. He also felt that somewhere in the marriages he shared with each man, his greatest flaw was not being the support they needed. That not only washed sadness over him, but anger. Rock Hard’s fans didn’t know the half of it. He was not about to let their private life become a media sensation. Even Deuce’s detox had been hidden from prying eyes. The worst thing to hit the tabloids was that Zane had forged nonprofessional relationships with the band members.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.”
Adam heard Deuce’s voice behind him. Sitting up, he hadn’t realized his husband had walked into their bedroom.
“Deuce, you should be with L.T. He doesn’t need to be alone, especially after what I told him,” Adam said, with his back turned to his husband.
“I’ll check on him in a few minutes. Right now, we need to talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about, Deuce. I was supposed to be the strength of this family. I saw the disappointment and pain in all of your eyes while we stood together in the kitchen.”
“Maybe Zane should counsel us all…as a family.”
“Honestly, Deuce, at this point?”
Adam watched as Deuce took a seat next to him on the bed. His lover twined their fingers together.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you about the pills and L.T.”
“Baby, you already told me that.”
“The first time I couldn’t get a hard-on was with Zane, about a week after the detox. The next was the first time Jamie let me touch him a few days later. We were kissing and nothing was happening. Luckily, Jamie stopped the affection. I don’t how I would have explained it to him.”
“It happens, Deuce. There’s nothing to be ashamed about. I’m not mad about the pills. I’m upset because something so intimate should have been shared with me. If you were having that type of problem you should have felt like you could talk to me. I don’t want you to feel pressure about having to be intimate with me, or any of us for that matter.”
“Zane thinks it’s a temporary reaction to the stress of the detox. I have four husbands I love with all my heart. I want to restore what we all shared. I felt like I couldn’t do that unless I could also be intimate with each of you. I know there’s more to this than just sex, but—”
“A lot more,” Adam stopped Deuce’s words, placing a finger over his partner’s lips.
For a moment neither man spoke, as Adam looked deeply into Deuce’s eyes. Everything he needed to see was present in his lover’s stare. He silently wondered why the five of them couldn’t make it work.
“I also should have told you about L.T, but I didn’t want to hurt you anymore. I wanted to try and bear that burden for as long as I could, in the hopes I could help him. He’s really messed up, Adam.”
“I know,” Adam felt tears forming in his eyes. Instead, he closed his lids tightly, stifling the display of emotion.
“Are you sure you’re all right with what Zane wants?” Deuce asked.
Adam felt his partner’s fingers lightly caressing his forearm.
“Are you?” Adam countered.
“I don’t know. I mean, I think I am,” Deuce replied, sighing. “Sometimes, I feel like the five us are running like confused mice in some type of experiment. We’re caught in a maze, but can’t get out. We take a few steps one way, and then we find ourselves back at where we started.”
“I know I’ve always taken the lead in making decisions for this family.”
“I know that, golden boy.”
“There’s a part of me that wants to try Zane’s suggestion, but I don’t want it to change what we share. Despite our problems, I feel closer to you now than I ever have, Deuce. I love you so very much.”
Watching as Deuce walked to the door and locked the doorknob, Adam knew what they had started in Zane’s bed earlier that afternoon was going to be finished. Zane’s suggestion of a ménage would have to wait, because right now, he felt his lover’s arms pulling him close.
And now for a hotter, sexier peek at the book.
Please turn away now if you don't like the naughty bits. ☺
Excerpt 2:
“Zane!” Jamie moaned.
“That’s right, James. While I get you opened up, Adam is going to straddle my face and put his cock in my mouth. Adam, do you want me to suck your dick?”
Adam had begun to rub his own cock as he watched the erotic play forming before his eyes. He felt Deuce swat him on the ass, as he positioned himself over Zane’s upper chest. While he rested both his knees on the bed, his dick went flush with Zane’s face. Then Adam’s head went back in pleasure as he felt the warm heat of Zane’s mouth sucking his entire length.
“Zane, finger-fuck me good!” Jamie moaned.
Zane’s other hand was now rubbing Adam’s sac, as the front man felt the doctor’s fingers tenderly caressing each of his nuts.
“Don’t stop,” Adam whimpered, as Zane pulled back for just a second.
“Sweetheart, I have got to tell our other two husbands what to do. They want this commitment, too.”
“Mmm…Zane!” Jamie cried.
“I still make the decisions for us in this house, Zane Foster,” Adam spoke breathless.
“That you do, Adam, but right now I’m in control.”
“Oh holy shit, Zane, that feels good!”
Zane’s fingers were continuously rubbing his groin, as his sac swelled, tight against his body.
“Adam, look at our two husbands over there,” Zane whispered.
Adam turned his head to see Deuce lying between L.T.’s legs on the king-sized bed. The couple was French kissing, as their tongues danced wildly in each other’s mouths.
“Sweetheart, James is almost ready for me to penetrate him, and then we’re going to get Deuce and L.T. to join us.”
Adam closed his eyes, as he felt his heart beating hard inside his chest. His skin tingled, as he listened to the sounds filling the room. His own whimpers were mixing with Jamie’s cries of pleasure, as he heard the groans of the couple lying beside him.
“James, slowly slide down my dick,” Zane said. “Surrender to me.”
Adam tried to look over his shoulder because he wanted to see Jamie’s expression.
“Look at me, Adam. James will make enough noise to arouse all of us.”
When Adam turned his face back to Zane, he saw the arousal in the doctor’s eyes.
“L.T. and Deuce, stop making out over there, and become a part of this commitment,” Zane whispered. “Adam, there’s enough room for your Dom to straddle me, too, and put his dick inside you, don’t you think?”
Adam saw Zane toss the lube to L.T., and within a matter of seconds, he felt the drummer’s breath warm on his neck. He let his head fall back against his husband, as L.T. began to kiss their secret spot on his shoulder.
“Whimper all you want, sub,” L.T. whispered in his ear. “Zane is going to have your cock buried so deep within his mouth, while I get you ready to take me. No one knows about our spot except us. I’m sure other secrets will be shared between lovers tonight, too.”
“Are you aroused, hot rocker boy?” Zane asked Deuce.
“Don’t make me wait anymore, Daddy,” Deuce replied.
Adam turned his head again to see Deuce rubbing his cock, while the entire shaft glistened with pre-cum.
“Dammit, I need to be made love to!” Jamie moaned.
“We will…all of us to each other,” Zane responded. “Damn. Damn. Damn. I cannot believe how aroused I am right now! Adam is right, you are one tight little bitch, James.”
“You said that about me, Adam?” Jamie asked, breathless.
“He did not have to, James. I have heard him making love to you. Next, you are to allow Deuce to touch you.”
“I don’t know—”
“James,” Zane interrupted, “let your husband touch you. I have more than just a ménage planned. Adam is reconnecting to L.T. So, you need to show Deuce what is in your heart, because I see it written all over your face every time you see him.”
“Adam?” Jamie asked.
“Little bitch, do what the doctor asks, he’s only trying to help us.”
Adam saw Deuce moving behind them, as he imagined the tenderness in his hands for Jamie. He could almost feel Deuce’s touch, even though the guitarist’s hands were nowhere on his body. Instead, two of L.T.’s fingers were inside Adam, pumping him gently.
“Zane, there’s a black bag in my nightstand,” L.T. said. “Can you reach it?”
“Adam is blushing, Lemmuel,” Zane said.
“He always flushes when he’s aroused. He’s got this conversation we have, too. I listen while his heart submits to me in high-pitched whimpers.”
“Adam,” Jamie said seductively, “does moan like a bitch.”
“Shut up, bitch!” Adam spoke playfully.
“Candy cane,” L.T. said, “hush and concentrate on Zane’s cock up your ass, and Deuce’s hands on your body.”
“David, you are the man of my dreams, now let James know he is the man of yours,” Zane said.
Adam felt Zane’s lips back around his dick, as he heard the hum of L.T’s prostate massager. He gasped, when he felt the device being inserted inside his anal cavity.
“I love you, sub,” L.T whispered. “Zane’s making you feel good, too. The moaning you hear is Jamie giving his heart to Deuce again. God, that sounds so good!”
“Sweet boy, I love you,” Deuce crooned to Jamie.
“Tell us what Deuce is doing to you, James?” Zane asked.
“His hands are all over my body…including my cock,” Jamie replied.
“We have figured out the physical part of loving as a ménage à cinq, I want us to experience the emotional part of this commitment,” Zane spoke again.
Not only was Zane still rubbing Adam’s sack, but L.T. was checking the smooth area of flesh between his sac and entry. His husband always rubbed his fingers over the skin before penetrating him.
“Sub, you’re more than ready to take me,” L.T. whispered into Adam’s ear.
