Through this magical portal called the internet, we’re pleased to be able to welcome Patrick Darcy to The Novel Approach today.
Patrick is the author of the Confessions of a Gay Rugby Player series of books published through “Charlie Harding Presents…”, Wilde City’s Black Label press, a premier selection of stories approved by none other than Charlie Harding himself, specifically for their steamy, erotic goodness.
Here’s a little bit about the books and the characters Patrick has created:
Star Irish rugby player, Conor Murphy, lives and breathes rugby. He spends his weekends playing rugby, drinking beer, and singing songs with his teammates. There is only one thing he loves more than rugby, and that is hot rugby players. But after the final whistle sounds, the real competition begins: the hunt for the hottest men.
Conor’s muscular body and roguish good looks ensure he can have his pick of the sexiest players. But what happens when this alpha male meets his match on and off the field? Who will come out on top when he meets the horniest rugby players from the USA? Can two alpha males have the night of their lives?
Rugby—it’s all about scoring, whether it’s on the field… or off.
While on tour in Copenhagen, it seems nothing is going to stop the Irish from bringing home the trophy and taking the spoils of victory. And while teammates Conor and Sean work up a sweat on the field to claim their prize, the real competition begins after the whistle blows, as the lads discover that Copenhagen is full of hot distractions.
To be sure, there is nothing rotten in the state of Denmark! In fact, Danish men are ripe for the picking. They love sex, have no inhibitions, and they want Irish meat.
But as Conor and Sean put their friendship aside in the pursuit of the hottest Danish players, the question is, will their friendship survive the real sport of man hunting?
And now that you know a bit about the books, let’s carry on with getting to know a little bit about the man behind them. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Patrick Darcy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a well-thought out video. I never put much thought into the art of writing erotica. There is so much more involved than I could have imagined. The video was also hot, but isn’t that the first purpose of erotica?
I love that Patrick’s Wilde caricature looks just a little like a leprechaun thinking really filthy thoughts. But aren’t all of Wilde City Press’s caricatures perfect?!
There is a second career as an audio book reader out there for Mr. Darcy should his well if ideas eventually run dry. But I hope it doesn’t. Welcome to The Novel Approach!
Very well done, Patrick!
Cheers Eric!
Well done, indeed! And I love all the WCP avatars, Tina. I don’t know who the artist is, but bravo!
Eric… Eric… You and TJ rocked it like a hurricane. I can’t wait until Wednesday! :-D
Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday…
Don’t you just love Patrick’s Irish accent!
Yes! I don’t mind saying the sound of Patrick’s voice made me both melty and tingly. ;-)
I think he should make a video where he reads me the whole book. I would share it, I promise!
And I love his take on erotica … erotica is fun and sexy. That IS the storyline when done right.
I couldn’t agree more! And I think I’d happily listen to him read the phonebook and swoon the entire time. LOL
hi everyone!I will have to do a few more voice intros! /that’s my best posh Dub voice!
If that’s posh. I would die if I heard scratchy and sexy! Oooh, and dirty. Is it hot in here?
Haha …. if that is your posh voice then my head might explode if I heard your everyday voice. I’m so willing to chance it though. Keep ’em coming!!
Reblogged this on Patrick Darcy.
I second that. Motion carried. You’re stuck now, Patrick!
Hey Patrick … where is the strangest place you’ve written? We already know that there is no writing at Mom’s house. :-)
in a church in clontarf, got inspired and drafted out a story plan!
Well, now isn’t that just a little too intriguing??? :-D
That is awesome! Gives a new meaning to “the Good Book.” What story were you working on?
I have a story in mind set in Maynooth seminary college. It’s going to be depraved!
Haha … as well it should be. Give those boys some crazy and all the readers will rejoice!
its all going to be in a story released after the rugby series is complete!
YAY!!
it will be a BDSM tale, dark and quite different from the Confessions series!
You are a rugby player so the connection to the Confession series is obvious … but what about BDSM? Are you a player or an admirer? Or is that too personal?
I like BDSM, its fun. But I don’t take it serious. I’m a BDSM light kinda guy! I play rugby. Have done since I was 11.
Haha … So what is more fun … playing Rugby against all those gorgeous guys, or writing about it later?
The riding bit is the best bit!
HAHA … I should have expected that!
And I want to know if you’re the Dom or the sub or the switch in this little BDSM light thing you have going on, Patrick. ;-)
hahaha! Well I can do anything! No absolutes for me! I’m much more like Con, in that regard
Well, Patrick, now you’ve done it. I need my man to hurry up and get home from work. LOL!
put him to work! woman has her needs!
Why do I feel like I should be making dirty laughter and smirking saucily right now? LOL
because you should!
And now I am. Well played, Mr. Darcy, well played! ^_^
Oh wow, that was a very inspiring video Patrick! With that accent I think you should just call me daily and read to me…erm I mean post a video, lol. I have a question for you. Are these guys in the video crazy, NAKED RUGBY, the first thought that went thru my head was OUCH, ofcourse after that I was just checking out the scenery, the very nice scenery. I love the description you gave of Erotica as fun and sexy. Sometimes I think authors lose the fun side. Like you said in the video it is a fine line between erotica and porn, I think you dance that line wonderfully. :-)
You’ve not played rugby until you have played naked!! I’ve played in two tournaments in the south of France. They are always for fun and charity. Naturally its not as intense as the real thing but way more fun!
Good God! I don’t know what’s hotter, the video or conversation above! Well done, Patrick – now get naked and take some more photos! ;)
You know, Patrick, I agree with Geoff; it’s really not a party until someone gets naked. ::waggles eyebrows:: :-D
lol i’m always naked and sharing!
I am going to have to agree with Geoff, more photos would always be welcome!
ok! but i’m so going to get in FB jail!
Ah but think of the book material you could get while in jail, lol.
I’m still thinking of little Patrick in church writing dirty things in the margins of the weekly church order of services…
tee hee Tina, me too! Such a naughty boy!
I loved the book and absolutely loved the video!! The tattoos are hot!! What are the meanings behind your tattoos Patrick?
Sooooo,Betty is a 1950/60’s pin up girl, she represents hope, freedom and the future. The clover is for my love of Ireland. The half sleeve is for the love of life and the world around me. The Samoan sea scape on my ankle is for my love of the beach.
You know what, Patrick? I was watching your vid, and my man saw your Bettie Page tattoo and had to stop to have a look! She was so far ahead of her time.
So great to meet you! I retweet you often, but now I fell like I know you. Pearls @innergoddesses
hello inner goddess! Thanks, I really appreciate that.X
I have this book…cannot wait to read it! I LOVE Rugby! There just something so sexy about the men and the roughness of the sport…gah *fans self* :)
