Synopsis

501 Ways to Tie a Knot

Being a submissive isn't easy. Being one of the BDSM community's most sought after ones that is willing to do, try, exhibit and teach anything…is even harder. Follow Levi as he takes his recently devastated friend, Rod, to Arizona to heal. Although you quickly learn he isn't there to just help Rod as this trip was already planned and is a necessity for Levi. He’s there to relax, re-group, and prepare himself for his next cross-country tour to showcase his talents as a male submissive. 501 Ways to Tie a Knot unravels the mystery that is the Amish born man, Levi Johnson, who fled rural Pennsylvania at eighteen to find more from life—to feed his hungry soul. 

Levi discovers that everything in life comes at a price—especially when your heart and soul get involved. On the last stop of his tour in the infamous New Orleans, he’s faced with an impossible situation: two women have his attention—both are lying. What happens when Levi falls in love with one of them, and lusts for the other? When the shocking reality becomes too hard to handle, he begins to question his existence in its entirety. His tediously balanced world gets turned upside down. Will he accept the truth, or will what he’s always desired walk out of his life forever?

From being a full-time mom, wife, chef, maid, dog walker, litter box scooper to owning a photography business and working as a freelance editor ... She now adds writer to her long resume. Between juggling all these tasks she squeezes in as much time as possible for snuggling her babies, reading, and watching football on Sundays in the fall. Da Bears!

G-Strings, fake bodies, what lubricant to use, and which angle looks best on camera, these are all things Tony knows. What he doesn't know is how to pursue a real relationship, one outside the industry that's making him retire and leaving him behind. Tony DiMarco, aka Ting Tang Tony, made a big name for himself-- regardless of being small--in an industry where size truly does matter. He's had a long career hiding behind a camera lens where his shortcomings didn't affect him at all. At 38 he's forced to find a real life where hopefully size doesn't matter. The last place he thought his life would change is in Florida. Tripping over the gorgeous and upstanding, Emily Grant, snaps him out of the pity-pot he is just about to take a bath in. However, having never dated outside the industry has him second-guessing everything. How would someone possibly want his "little engine that could"? Can Tony open up about his playboy-style career, and more importantly, can he overcome the insecurities that he's shoved aside his whole life? Tony's got his work cut out for him, he needs to penetrate the walls Emily's built to protect herself and her own insecurities. Will she be able to handle Tony's crazy double life he's trying to hide from her, the one he lives back home in L.A.? There's a small chance it might work, that it might fit—something Tony certainly isn't used to. This may be his one opportunity to find that missing puzzle piece he's only been able to fantasize about. The whirlwind journey these two set out on will keep you rooting for the underdogs, and teach you that it's not always the size of the package that's important—it's what's inside that matters most. Genre: Romantic Comedy

  Rod Stick—though his birth certificate says Rodney Moore— has everything a top-notch porn star ever wanted. Friends are his new family, money satisfies his every wish, and endless lines of willing and ready women fulfill any voids his jaded childhood left behind. Drugs and alcohol patch the remaining leaks those things can’t fix. However, things are beginning to change. His friends and their bachelor lifestyle are fading in the hot L.A. sun. Irresponsible decisions and self-destructive actions have his career on the rocks. Like his best friend, Tony, he worries he’s going to be the next “has-been.” To complicate things further, a certain sexy and dangerous amber-haired stripper is changing him into another person—one that he isn't sure he can handle. They say you can’t make a “ho into a housewife.” But two hoes? There are better odds in Vegas. Can Rod find the solace he searching for in his own private dancer, Crystal Amber? Settling down with her might close the door on that dark chapter of his life forever—the one he’s been running from since he was a kid. Or, will he lose himself and everyone else around him instead creating his own version of hell? Sometimes our own light is hiding in dark places. Will Rod find his? Genre: Romantic Erotica

Review by TLBC’s Book Blog – “This was a great read and I’m really happy with how things ended. Rod was a pleasant surprise and he definitely wiggled his way into my heart!”

Sue Ann from Bookalicious Babe’s – I will start by saying that this is not the typical type book that I normally read. BUT, when I was asked to read it, I said SURE – I will give it a try. I do like reading erotica type books – and believe me, this is NOT your normal erotica. This was so much more than I expected — it was erotica with some humor and romance all mixed together and it was AWESOME!!!!

Gina from Gina’s Library of Reviews – Ting Tang Tony : This book is not your normal erotica. Its erotica/humor/romance all rolled up into one. Stick Me Baby….One More Time: It takes a crisis like addiction to show someone who really cares and who doesn’t. I can’t wait to read the 3rd book when it comes out.

If You Stick it, They Will Come

I'll start by saying that Rod's book, Stick Me Baby...One More Time, is still in the works for a spring release as scheduled. But, because we love to show you glimpses of how the guys got their start in the industry, and the circumstances that brought them together, we have written a short story showing exactly how Rod met Tony back on set in 1994...

IF YOU STICK IT, THEY WILL COME, is releasing on February 10th!

The adult industry has a lot of seedy characters, hell, I was used to that I came from the streets of L.A. My name? Rod Stick. 

I’m known as the hottest guy on pay per view. Flashback with me to 1994, and find out what the small peckered boy wonder, aka Ting Tang Tony did to win me over. Sure, most people usually met at school, or as they worked at a boring 9-5 job—not everyone can say that they met their best friend while working a girl over home plate, and all while getting paid to do it.  I don’t know what made me stick my neck out for this kid, but I knew he was a good person after a short round of jokes and seeing how he treated people, more importantly the other women on set. It took a real man to be one. 

Tune in to this Episode and see how it all began.

Peace, Love and Happiness,
Kat and Kristin
