Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Bennie and the Bears book one - The Rugby Cub by Tom Farrell Jack Brighton. I've kept this one quiet! Laziness again on the blogging front. It would appear that the last time I made the effort was back in March for St. Patrick's Day. But I've been busy writing, working on this story off and on, and it's pretty much finished with a final read through still to be made then it's over to proof reading. I would imagine it will make an appearance by next week at the latest. So Reaching for The Wild Side - what's that all about? Well, it's taking things forward for one thing, unlike with 'An Angel Falls' which filled in a gap. This book follows on from Boot Camp Week, where I introduced a group of new characters. The story takes place a month or so later, and I pick up on how some of the successful Boot Campers are doing. But the star of this tale is another newcomer in the form of a would be master. His name is George and he's a very lucky chap as he's recently scooped the jackpot in the Euro Millions lottery, winning two hundred million of the things, which he's been busy spending. He's got himself a desirable property in London, and a few fast cars to drive around town in. He's got all the trappings of a multi-millionaire, but now he wants something special in the form of well trained slaves. Enter Angus MacLeod who is in a position to help him. But it's n ot so easy as it sounds. First George has to learn about being a master, so Angus suggests he goes to Bears Den, where the successful Boot Campers are now being trained, and see things from the other perspective. George will see a lot, and have a heck of a good time. But there is another agenda going on, and another man who gets to play a major part. It's not just George who is 'Reaching for The Wild Side'. Jack. UPDATE 1-Rugby-Uncapped Randall and Odogwu in England squad for Six Nations. LONDON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - England's exciting uncapped duo of Bristol scrumhalf Harry Randall and Wasps wing/centre Paolo Odogwu were the eye-catching names among a 28-man Six Nations squad named by coach Eddie Jones on Friday, but there was no place for Kyle Sinckler. Randall, who is also qualified to represent Wales, has been in sparkling form during Bristol's bright start to the Premiership season and will vie with Dan Robson to back up regular number nine Ben Youngs. Odogwu, who scored two tries in a man-of-the-match performance against Bath two weeks ago, is another now "claimed" for the red rose having been eligible to play for Italy through his father. A third uncapped player, Bath prop Ben Obano, was also included. Bristol prop Sinckler was suspended for England's opening game against Scotland on Feb. 6 after swearing at the referee in a club game but would have been available for the rest of the tournament. Jones was non-committal about whether Sinckler would return for the second game, despite not including him in a "shadow squad". Jones was forced to limit his squad to less than his usual 30-plus names and will have fewer training days because of COVID-19 restrictions related to players moving back and forth between the England camp and their clubs. As a result he has also named a shadow squad of 12 that mostly comprises inexperienced or uncapped players who will follow the England COVID protocols, although Bath pair Jonathan Joseph and Charlie Ewels both feature. Last season's Premiership player of the year Jack Willis of Wasps is also in the shadow squad after being pipped by Ben Earl for a slot in the main group. Exeter's in-form number eight Sam Simmonds did not make either group. Having spent most of the last four years refusing to pick three scrumhalves in his training squads, Jones has now gone for a trio in the smaller group, having found it impossible to ignore the sparky inventiveness of 23-year-old Randall. "We've been watching Harry for a long time now, at least two seasons," said the Australian, who is in isolation after assistant coach Matt Proudfoot tested positive for COVID-19. "He continues to develop his game and his running and his initiative in attack is the thing that's really caught the eye. He'll put pressure on Benny Youngs and Dan Robson, which is a good thing, but it's not so much the youth, it's the quality of his play that's the key thing for us." Odogwu's versatility earned him a somewhat unexpected call-up. "He's got power, got a bit of an X-factor. He has the ability to beat people, he’s got a good sense for the line," said Jones. "We're looking for another centre or winger who has that and he's been consistently dynamic in being able to break lines." England will meet up at the national football team's training base at St George's Park in the Midlands on Jan. 27 to begin their build-up to the opening game of their Six Nations title defence at home to the Scots.

The nine modified versions of the existing 'Tales from The Wild Side' are now with All Romance. And quite rightly so. It took me a while to put my books with them, assuming that my stuff would have little appeal, or more likely be rejected by a sight with 'Romance' in its name. But the members clearly like a bit of steamy action where romance doesn't feature all that much. Of course I put myself down here, and know fine well that while my books are hot (even if I say so myself) and sometimes very hard hearted, like in the Nemesis series - there is also romance. To be honest the 'Tales from The Wild Side' has quite a lot of romance, although it's hardly soppy. It's there though. And my favourite character, Paddy McGuire, has it on two fronts, even though he'd be loathed to admit it. There is the romance with his master, which gets a story of its own later in the series. But the first three books are arguably the story of his romance with Dylan - or at least that is the case now with the re-written versions. And it reaches its peak, or climax if you will, in 'Made for Auction'. While for most of the book, Paddy is absent - the story being about Dylan as he trains to be a slave. The big Irishman is always there in a way, shaping Dylan's behaviour, even when he's having sex with someone else, which the dirty little sod does very frequently. It's one of my favourite books - something that I'm quite proud of. Particularly the ending which is sort of romantic in a 'Wild Side' sort of way. Jack Brighton. The retailers seem happy, and 'An Angel Falls to The Wild Side' is now available. It's actually been just over two years since the last new 'Tale from The Wild Side' was released, so this is well overdue. The story picks up on the original 'The Wild Side' book, which has since been integrated into the series and is now titled 'A Walk on The Wild Side'. At the end of that book, Barry Angel agreed to become Ralph Daley's slave. And there a line was drawn. In 'An Angel Falls' I move their story on ten weeks and find that all is now perfect in their world. Through into the equation one Angus MacLeod who has taken a serious liking to them both, with Barry being his realistic target. Not surprisingly, Barry (and Ralph in a way) falls for MacLeod's masterful charms. But it's what happens thereafter that makes the story, as Barry is given a chance to work at The Wild Side in a creative capacity - designing the first set for the new Fantasy Zone at the club. Hope you enjoy it. Jack Brighton. I've decided to add a section to my website where I give some background on the main characters in the books. It will take time to build up, but I've made a start. Not surprisingly, I kick off with the men from The Wild Side, and there can only be one person who gets top billing. Paddy might get more page space, but there is only one Master of The Wild Side, and this is how I describe him. Master of The Wild Side - That's how I think of Angus MacLeod, and how he is referred to in some of the books. And quite rightly so. Not only is Angus the owner of the club, he is the ultimate master. Not a traditional master, but the one who commands the most respect. Whilst he is the main character in the series, Angus is something of a mystery, at the outset. He is featured in the first book, 'Welcome to The Wild Side', but we encounter him at first in voice only, at the end of a telephone line. Then his appearance at the end of the book is speech only. I don't describe him - just leave the reader with the clear impression that this is a man who likes to be in control. He is referred to in the second book, and we get an impression of him through the eyes of his slaves. But it is only at the end of the third book, 'Made for Auction', that Angus is revealed. And from then onwards, he features more and more, taking the starring role in a number of the books. We find him in the present as a very successful businessman. Owner of The Wild Side and a slave training stable in Kent called Bears Den - named after the suburb in Glasgow where Angus grew up. So he's Scottish, ruggedly handsome - the young Ted Colunga pictured here being how I envisage him, although I described Angus long before I even saw Ted. I give him no age, although by implication he's in his late thirties. The man is highly sexed, big and hirsute, extremely well endowed, dryly funny, and terrifying when genuinely angry. I have covered some of Angus's back story through a couple of books - the main one being 'The Wild Side of Paddy McGuire' which is set six years in the past and described when Angus met his favourite slave and The Wild Side came into existence. There is also reference to a shady past in Glasgow in 'The Taming of Gangster Gaz' when a debt of honour has to be repaid to Angus's former mentor. One day I'll tell the full story, or at least fill in a lot more details on Angus. That will be 'The Master of The Wild Side', and not a book that can be taken lightly. It has to be the jewel in The Wild Side crown, as Angus deserves nothing less.
