People who know me often ask: "Who are you today?"
That's because I've written books under a number of colorful pseudonyms, with each one having its own distinct personae.
Under my real name of 'Jery Tillotson', I've written four books that have proven to be popular all around the world: I, A MAN, NAKED JESUS, WHITE GODS and my most recent, THE STRANGE CASE OF KURT JAMES.
As 'Jason Fury,' my alter ego is that of a beautiful, androgynous man, about five feet five, with platinum blonde hair, a beautifully proportioned torso and loaded with charisma and charm. Using this moniker, I wrote nearly 80 short stories for all the leading gay magazines of the late seventies through the eighties, with such titles as Blueboy, Torso, Advocate Male, FirstHand, and many others. The best of these tales were collected in my first published collection, ERIC'S BODY, which proved to be an overnight sensation and sold out printing after printing for Badboy Books. The 24 stories became wildly popular and this tome was republished by the Author's Guild of America's prestigious Back-in-Print series of classic books and it once more became a best-seller. And then in 2013, Open Road Media republished this book and it repeated its popularity among a new generation of readers. Also, in 1993, my suspense thriller, THE ROPE ABOVE THE BED BELOW, was published and it also became a huge hit and is also still in print in this year of 2021.
Other books published under the pen name of Jason Fury: THE KISS OF KING KONG, HIS EYES WERE DARK, HE LICKED HIS LIPS, THE SECRET OF JIMMY X and Other Stories of Gay Macabre, SCREAMS OF PAN, NAKED FURY, NIGHTS OF FURY, ORGY and WILD BOYS OF THE SWAMP.
To further stretch my imagination, I created yet another pen name: Andrea d'Allasandra. I imagine Andrea to be this beautiful, voluptuous Italian woman who totally enjoys whipping up marvelous Italian dishes while dashing to her computer to create gruesome, grisly novels of terror, like MASTER OF HELL MOUNTAIN, DEATH HOUSE, HORROR HOUSE, HOUSE OF THE SCREAMING CLOWNS and THE CREAKING DOOR and Other Stories of Madness and the Macabre, RUN FAST, MY WOLFBOY. These novels are written purely for fun and if they bring enjoyment to fans of this genre, then that's even better.
As 'Kandy Kristmas,' I've imagined yet another beautiful female scribe with long, blonde hair, marvelous gowns and interiors and thus prepared, she penned "Doofus, the Little Christmas Boy" back in 1998.
This book was written soon after the horrific 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center--which I personally watched while down on the water front--and the following Iraqi War. This young adult book became vastly popular with the military at that time because of its patriotic theme and very gung-ho Americanism, all symbolized by the heroic little Doofus who seeks to save Christmas from brutal non-believers. This tale was actually a parable about the evils of anti-Americanism in a modern world.
Writing as 'Big' Bill Jackson, i created a sexual superman in the shape of a hunky, muscular ex-Marine who discovers the joys of male-male bonding and physical interactions. In this over-the-top creation, I involved Big Bill in mind-boggling sexual encounters which always revolve around his spectacular torso and endowment. I put him as the manager of a series of health spas which he manages. His most popular tales were collected in the BadBoy Books bestseller, EIGHTH WONDER.
Also, as a private physical trainer, he becomes very much involved with the health and sex lives of his patrons.
"Jerry Tucker" is the name the publisher of Greenleaf Books gave me for my first published novel, DADDY STUD, which appeared in 1978, although I had specifically asked that this classic tome use my monicker of 'Jason Fury.' This novel became a sensational best-seller and appeared under several different titles over the decades. I based this novel on a true-life incident i heard-about--about a very handsome high school coach who has a powerful relationship with his very hunky son. Father and son moved to another country where they were last reported to have had an enduring relationship--with no guilt or remorse.
At the present, I'm creating yet another mischevous but controversial pen name--Yuri Kostanados, a Russian name that intrigues me who will start penning a series of steamy tales revolving around a swamp in the Deep South where passions and lust rule the many men who live there.
