Hello, Everyone,

This is another snippet from LABEL. ME. MAN., which will be available for preorder on June 1, 2025.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, revealing the characters.

Blurb:

Born a savant with Autism Spectrum Disorders and labeled as unusually bright, Gioacchino Tarinni lacked any social, emotional, or spiritual graces. The scientific world labeled him a Robot. Peddled between medical offices and laboratories, doctors and scientists examined whether he could be considered human. He has failed in every experiment except for his friendship with his manservant and chauffeur, Ferro. But no one knows how it happened.
Sitting in a cafe with Ferro, Gioacchino’s eyes are drawn to a woman working on her tablet. She has a head full of braids, and he attempts to count them. But the woman keeps moving her head, foiling his efforts to get an accurate count. Annoyed, he approaches her table, intending to ask her to be still. However, in a moment of impulsive audacity, he proposes marriage instead.

Excerpt:

Gioacchino waited until they had stepped outside into the morning air to look sideways at her again. Her brown lips looked like a sweet treat. He liked covering her full lips with his own and tasting them. Precious and priceless, her plump lips awakened his manhood and gave his life meaning and normalcy.
Having never dated an African American woman, Gio found Jediah, with her full lips, curvy hips, and big breasts with pointed nipples, fascinating from the first time he saw her sitting in the café. Even though his mathematical intelligence and photographic memory had catapulted him to become one of the top five major players in mergers and acquisitions for hotels, it was nothing compared to his first meeting with Jediah. With her, he was human and not a robot. He felt genuine compassion, and more naturally than ever, his blood pressure sank to normal; he could interact with Kay, his secretary, and his migraines vanished. The medical specialist in charge of tracking his developmental changes was astonished.
Only yesterday evening, he had wished to tell Jediah how making love to her caused his blood pressure problem to vanish and helped him to deal with the torturous beliefs that he was some spectacular idiot savant or robot that was born on the earth once in a million years, but she had fallen asleep after their lovemaking.

Shalom shalom

  1. Kayelle Allen – Kayelle Allen writes MM Sci-Fi Romance, Mythic Heroes, Immortal Gamers, and Warriors Who Purr. Her unstoppable, unshakeable, unforgettable characters fill a complex universe with diverse settings and fascinating people, some of whom think they're not fictional. Fortunately, Kayelle keeps them all in line, or at least that's what she tells her therapist. She's also a US Navy veteran and has been married so long she's tenured.
    Kayelle Allen says:

    If she went to sleep – she felt safe with him. 🙂

  2. Sonia Dogra – A writer/poet/copyeditor/ex-educationist/mother/plant-lover/reader/yoga enthusiast/mountain girl/keen walker. There's not just one facet to me. I love responding to submission calls and sitting long hours and sometimes for days and months, working on a single poem or short story before turning it in. I enjoy the process of watching my writing go from a to b and then to z, and meandering on an unknown path before having a life of its own. I'm here to share my written pieces and random thoughts, read out poems that I love, and discover life through the lens of a writer.

    I enjoyed this excerpt, Pat. Gioacchino is very interesting and a passionate lover. Would love to see where this goes.

    1. Hi, Sonia,
      Thank you very much. It will go on pre-order hopefully on June 1, 2025.

    1. HI, Jana,
      He loves her very much, but he doesn’t understand what love really is. He’s a savant.
      Shalom shalom

  3. Shirley Harris-Slaughter – I love old buildings and history. That's why I ended up writing about the history that surrounded me all of my life - "Our Lady of Victory, the Saga of an African-American Catholic Community." Plus our church had closed and the school is torn down, so I felt it was imperative that we preserve the history or it would be lost forever.
    Shirley Harris-Slaughter says:

    I don’t know. I’m going to have to get this book! Congratulations, Pat!!
