About the Author

Jay Neal, the nom-de-porn of Jeff Shaumeyer, has been an aficionado of facial hair as long as he can remember, largely thanks to the influence of Tom Selleck's mustache - a fact revealed in this, his first collection of stories. "Husky" is his favorite adjective and he likes his men like he likes his peanut butter: extra chunky. Basically a geeky, vanilla kind of guy originally from Kansas, thoughts of such men fuel his fantasies and he gains quite a bit of satisfaction from making up stories about sexual adventures with bears and their ilk. He's been writing them down since late last century. Neal, his partner of twenty-five years whom he married in 2010, and their small herd of rescued greyhounds, enjoy their life of domestic tranquility in the suburbs of Washington, DC.
