Book 1: The Man PLAN
Book 2: Friends and FRENCHMEN
Book 3: Seeing Double
A. Lusch lives in London and has been though much of the
same path as David – in fact – this series is based around true events.
Of course, there is MUCH more to come in the tale, but,
don’t worry, now the scene is set, there’ll be many more dates per book. Is
there a happy ending in sight? You’ll have to keep reading to find out.
A. Lusch fully believes in never settling, always striving
for the perfect match, and never giving up on your man once you’ve found him –
oh, and eating A LOT of donuts!

1: what's your favorite restaurant?
I don't have a specific fav restaurant as such; but anywhere
that does sushi. I love sushi!! I was in Canada last month and found the
most delicious little Japanese place down by the lake. YUM.
I'm also a big fan of takeout; Chinese, pizza, Indian. Anyone who wants to
deliver to my door - yes please! :P
2: what's your favorite room to decorate?
I'll put this out there - I don't really like decorating. I like
the planning phase...getting together ideas, using Pinterest to pull fabric,
furniture, flooring options, but the actual nitty gritty? Ummm...no. I
need to get over this though, because I'm planning on building my own house in
the next couple of years!!
3: if one song could be the soundtrack to your life, what would
it be?
Ooh, this is hard. I'm going to say Judy Garland's 'Get Happy'.
You know, there's so much trouble and chaos in life that it's easy to get
bogged down. Of course, we have to be serious, stand up for what we believe in
and strive to better ourselves, but sometimes we just need to "Forget
your troubles, come on get happy.You better chase all your cares away."
4:
This story is based off true events, does that mean you are actually doing the
52 dates? and are you writing in real time?
I DID do
the 52 First Dates challenge, so it's now in the past. I'm embellishing the
story a little and working in some extra men who weren't necessary part of my
challenge experience but who I did cross paths with at some time. So, it's not
based in real time...I think trying to write stories about it and do it
simultaneously would be a nightmare!
5: if money were no object, what's one thing you'd buy?
An island. Without a shadow of a doubt. BUT - you might think
I'm weird - it wouldn't be a tropical place. I live in London
and spent a lot of my youth in Scotland
and the Lake District. So I'd buy a little
island where I could build a house and live out a little quiet existence
enjoying the seasons, growing food, having sheep, cows whatever. If there was a
little money left over I'd get a helicopter so I could travel back and forth
easily. ;)
6: best coffee table book?
Something with hot naked men in it?! Probably a hardback book
from Rick Day or Michael Stokes. I'd have to hide it away when the parents came
over, of course.....
7: what's your favorite way to spend lazy Sundays?
You know; I always just presumed Sundays were about sex! Then I
grew up and realised you have to have someone with you to do that. LOL.
Seriously though, a slow wake with sun streaming through the blinds, a
passionate embrace and then a cup of tea and some time on the iPad. Bliss.
That's what I'd do in a perfect world.
Of course, it's more like, wake up quickly because the cat's
vomiting at the end of the bed, the dog wants a walk and then the whole day is
frittered away on chores!
8: where do you look for an obscure source of inspiration?
I find my mind is a very busy place and I'm like a sponge; I
soak up experiences all over the place. Also, with these books I'm writing from
a nostalgic point of view, so I don't really have to look for obscure
sources.

David- How did you meet Jess?
Hey, very simple, at university. I was a bit stupid at uni and
flunked my first year. All my graphic design buddies moved on to year two and I
had to start over. The silver lining, however, was that Jess was just starting.
We had to go on a field trip, I didn't know anyone, and she was the first
person to reach out to me. We've been friends ever since.
Do you have any male friends? It seems like they are all
hookups.
Yeah, in all honesty, I've never had male friends. I have acquaintances,
people who I can chill out with, but if I'm anywhere near a nice guy, I'd
probably fall for them. Perhaps I should make friends with a straight guy; that
way we really could only be friends. Though, actually, not a good idea. If we
ever had a drink I'd probably end up wanting to convert him. :P
If you could chose between the twins, which one do you chose??
((say Alex, say Alex!))
It's funny; Theo was very much like 'pick me, Alex is always out
and about, a partier. Come out with me.' However, after hanging out with
Theo, I'm thinking there's more excitement with Alex. There just seems to be a
better emotional connection as well as the physical one.
Is it hard following the rules?
YES! You've probably noticed that I like to get a little frisky.
When I like someone, I want to get frisky even more so. Though, hopefully in
the long run, not having sex straight away will help develop a relationship.
What do you notice first in a prospect? What are major
characteristics you look for in a date?
I'm one picky guy. They have to be hot. I'm sorry. Perhaps I'm
shallow, but this is someone I'm spending the rest of my life with. I have to
be attracted to them, there has to be that spark. Without it there's only one
way for dates to head to; you just can't create a non-existing spark...there
has to be something there to start with.
After that, I've got to try and gauge what they're looking for. A hookup is
fine, but be genuine and truthful. Actually, that's it. Someone who's genuine
and truthful. If you only want to hookup, tell me. I'm much more likely to have
some fun with you and not get emotionally attached. That way no one gets hurt;
there's no miscommunication.
As of now, which one is your favorite date? worst? and why?
You know, Prana's still my favourite date - even though it
didn't work out. There's a fondness in my heart I have for that guy. I don't
know how, but he really crept under my skin in those few hours. Rav
too...I know we're only having hookups, but he's managed to
get a grip on me. I probably shouldn't admit that - that's leading to trouble.
As for bad dates - I haven't really had any yet. I mean, I was mighty pissed
off Matt, but he didn't even show so you can't really call it a date.
Would you relocate if your found Mr. Right?
I think I would, under the right circumstances. You know, I have
a mortgage right now, so moving wouldn't be simple. But for love, for forever
love, you just HAVE to move, you can't let those things pass
you by.
If you find Mr. Right, do you think children will be in your
future?
I'm not a fan, and it's strange because when I was growing up,
the biggest difficulty I had to cope with was that I probably wouldn't have
children if I was gay. That was a major thing for me, and made my coming to
terms with who I was extremely difficult. Now I'm older? I just think I'm too
selfish and impatient to have kids. I think it's harder too...I mean, most of
my straight friends have had kids by accident. If you sit down and plan about
having children, there's never enough money yet, or you're not in the right
house, or you need to consider a different job. With two guys, well, that accident just
isn't going to happen.
That said, if Mr. Right was desperate for kids, then I wouldn't
stand in his way.
and with that, we wish you the best of luck on your journey!
Thanks SO much. I hope I find Mr. Right, and soon. I don't want
to end up meeting 52 men and realising that none of them are the one - that'd
be awful!!
The
Man Plan is where we meet David and learn his brief story of
dating. Better said, shagging. Because he does that regularly. He may not have
had a stable relationship for a decade but he did keep fuck-buddies. And he
plans on still keeping them, even after he comes up with the fifty-two first
dates plan. He even has rules for this plan. Go on a first date with potential
husband/soul-mate material gay guys. Second and third dates are accepted but
the first dates have to continue. So, a new guy once a week, every week, for an
entire year. He starts putting his plan into action.
Friends
and Frenchmen is about David going to his second
first date after the first one not being the best. Well, at first he thought it
was but then the guy never called or sought him out. But David is not
discouraged. He follows the plan and the rules, though he’s tempted to break a
few. See, no shagging the guy he goes on a date with. And that is pretty hard
for a guy like David to follow. He still keeps his gay hook-up app on his phone
and checks it out whenever he can, thus stumbling upon a hot Greek guy, Theo.
But there’s something that does not add up. At first. Theo quickly clears that
for David and the readers: he has a gay twin brother.
Seeing
Double shows us how David and his plan progresses. After a
few dates falling through, not becoming second and third dates, David seems to
come across one guy that could be his soul-mate. But his hopes are dashed when
his potential soul-mate leaves the country. After encouragement
from his friends, he gets right back on the horse but for the first time in his
life, gets stood up. Twice by the same guy. But oh, fate has a twisted way of
playing games and David encounters both twins, first Theo then Alex after being
stood up. He breaks his rule for Theo because the lust was too much but with
Alex it’s different.
What will happen? I don’t know but I am very
curious. I was given an ARC of Seeing Double but I’ll rate the entire series a
4 star-read. I’m not one to read novellas with the same characters but
this is an exception and I’ll gladly read the next one/ones to see how David’s
doing and if he ends up with one of the twins or neither. I’m kinda rooting for
Alex.
