Two high school boys from different walks of life: Ryan, a handsome athlete, and David, an average joe from a blue collar family, discover their desires, stealing their kisses under the cover of an old oak at night. Their love begins a secret life, hidden from their families, friends, and classmates. As their passion grows, so does the danger of their discovery.

Review

Memorizing You by Dan Skinner read and reviewed on November 22th, 2015

My number one read all time! I was devastated after finishing this, it was so beautiful!

After all these years I'm afraid to read it again... I just can't. It hit me deep in my heart! When I think about this book... my heart beats faster... No review can tell the real beauty of this story.

I think everybody must read this one and I mean everybody!!

Original Review:

My heart hurts and cries. What a beautifully written love (life) story this is. 

Excellent, mind-blowing, heartbreaking, overwhelming, vulnerable, very sensitive, honest, sad, liberating, struggling, deep feelings. It's all there.

An outstanding story from one POV that gives you a look deep inside a human’s life and the world around him. When he (David) meets the other half of his heart (Ryan) you see him grow and overcome his life. You see them grow for each other and there is a love so strong they can move mountains. 

But life would not be life without the ups and downs in it.

And that –for a fact- is the beauty of this story

Blog Tour: Dirk Tales, The Book by Dan Skinner #Giveaway

Author: Dan Skinner
Book: Dirk Tales The Book
Publication date: November 16, 2016
Length: 124 pages


Synopsis

Dirk Tales, The Book includes previously released Misadventures of Doc & Dirk volumes, available now for the first time in paperback, an additional episode, and more!

He's a middle-aged, newly single, gay photographer starting life over. Along comes a freshly out nineteen-year-old, irreverent free spirit who wants to be his apprentice. Mismatched by more than a generation, what could possibly go wrong? Everything! And it's AWESOME!

Dirk's First Time: Every gay boy has his first experience. Usually it's a memorable, exciting personal time of discovery and intimacy between two young people. But two comic book characters? Is it horseplay or Cosplay?

The Boy At The Gym: First impressions can be deceiving. Sometimes that boy in the baggy clothes, talking to himself in the gym isn't as shy as he appears. Sometimes there's a deviant imp lurking beneath that freckled mask of innocence. Beware the Trojan Nerd!

A "Muse" ing: Most authors struggle with the voices or "muses" in their head when writing. Tuning that voice out becomes a little more challenging when your muse is a real-life nineteen-year-old who inhales espresso and turns out ideas at light speed. Danger Will Robinson!

Daddy and The Rent Boy: In sales, advertising is half the battle. That can become hazardous when you're in the company of an irreverent walking billboard.

Sex Dolls and Bad Dates: We’ve all had one of those dates where we think we've bitten off more than we can chew. The trick to know is Bite or Flight?

Dirk's Quirks: Everyone has idiosyncrasies; that's what makes us interesting. If you're lucky, you get a heaping helping and can share them with everyone.

Make it Naked: Teaching a nineteen-year-old walking hormone photography apprentice to shoot nudes is more than an adventure... It's a human obstacle course.

Review

Oh where oh where do I begin!? When I read volume one I didn't think I could laugh any harder. Until this came along. Dirk... I dunno with that boy! How Doc gets anything done ever is beyond me. The things that come out of Dirk's mouth. I could never eat or drink near him. I'd be spitting on everyone!

Once again this is a laughfest, truly. Dirk's questions, revelations, realizations, just plain old reasoning is something from another planet.

I will say that he has a time or two made me actually think. Dirk lacks a filter and you soon learn that means that at any given moment anything can... and likely will, happen!

This is a priceless gem as is volume one so I highly recommend both of these and to keep an eye out for the next installment!
