The collection contains twenty captivating stories from periodicals such as American Bear and several Lambda Literary Award-winning anthologies, plus three stories published in this collection for the first time. Readers can turn a page and find an entire cast of interesting characters and quirky situations: a man who discovers his lover has turned into an actual bear overnight and the only way for life to return to domestic tranquility is through the intercession of a hirsute spiritualist; the Gothic erotic adventure of a man visiting a lonely lighthouse with an infamous supernatural legacy; a Gestapo officer falling in love with a French Resistance fighter during WWII occupied Paris; an alien sent to Earth to gather data on Bears; and even the confession of a man who yearns to be a filthy pig in bed but is frustrated by his timid demeanor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJay 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42741958213695,"sku":"9781720994718","price":24.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/49c647a358a9190b0212e6c4173363c7.webp?v=1765162299","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/waking-up-bear-other-ursine-stories-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
