Not once, thru an entire sex scene, would there be any mention of hair or hairyness. The characters were cool, I liked them, but there was NOTHING here about bears or furry, hairy guys aside from the initial physical description. The same with reviews, I've probably written less than 10 but felt I had to warn people, these are great typical MM stories. Out of 800+ book I've returned less than 10 but I did return these. Good lord, the visual of a muscular, sweaty chest verses a muscular hairy chest with sweat dripping off the hair is vastly different. just shirtless activities but NO mention of his sweaty, HAIRY chest. There are multiple points (especially in the 2nd book as neighbor's) of him mowing shirtless, standing on the deck shirtless, masturbating out on the deck shirtless etc. Nor do you get a visual description of any hairyness. No where in the sex would there be any descriptions of what makes a hairy guy so sexy: Running your fingers thru a thick pelt of hair on his chest or the fuzzy feeling of his hairy arms or legs brushing against you or the rug burn you got from the thick stubble on his face or how his chest hairs tickle your nose as you snuggle together. In the beginning the guys would be described as "hairy" but that's it. There is just nothing about bears or furry guys in these stories. But that's the problem, I wasn't looking for typical I was looking for bears. I've enjoyed the first 2 stories so far, your typical MM love story.

I gathered her stories over the years and started using them in my writing. My sister-in-law, who works as a police officer on a reservation, never saw visions until she started working out there. Is there a source for the visions your protagonist, Nicky Matthews, sees that sometimes help in her police work? A lot of the way I approached writing Hearts of the Missing, the sparseness of it, like the sparseness of the desert, is the way he did this. I am stunned when I sit down and read one line from Hillerman and realize I can actually see that picture of a sunset or a mesa or a desert.
