A.J. Corza’s Got You Covered – This Week’s Cover – “My Hero” by Max Vos – Cover Art by… Hey! A.J. Corza

I wasn’t actually going to post anything of my own up for review, ever, because to me it seems kind of self-serving. But there is a reason I changed my mind. However, let me clarify first that this is in no way the best cover of the week. I tend to be very hard and... Continue Reading →

There’s A New Book Coming In The Tarnished Series, And Brita Addams Is Here To Tell You All About It

Tarnished Souls: Frankie and Gent: A story of guts and glamor in the Golden Age of Hollywood – not a romance. When I started writing the second book in the Tarnished series, I created a character who was only intended to have a walk-on part, as a mocking antagonist. Frankie Monetti started out as a...

“How Ya Like Me Now?” A Guest Article by John Goode

There is this joke... So on the seventh day God went golfing with some friends and the conversation of the new world He had created came up.

A.J. Corza's Got You Covered – This Week's Top Cover – "Wild Magic" by Poppy Dennison – Art by Anne Cain

I am so not feeling it this week. I’m just gonna be honest right now. Who thought going back to college at 44 years old was a good idea? Oh yeah, she’s sitting here staring blearily at her computer screen. *Takes a sip of caffeine goodness* Anyhow, enough belly aching on with the show. This... Continue Reading →

Amber Kell Doesn’t Bite…Hard. No, Really! And She Wants To Give Away An Awesome Prize!

Hello future GRL attendees! I have to admit GRL was the first conference I attended as a professional writer. I went to the GRL in New Orleans, which was a blast as it gave me an excuse to visit a city with my hubby without kids. (Shh, they don’t know what a great time we... Continue Reading →

How About A Little Erica Pike? How About A Little Erica Pike And A Giveaway?

Greetings GRL-goers! Is this your first GayRomLit? Are you munching on your fingernails, going over every detail the organizers have disclosed, and picturing yourself standing alone in a corner once you’re there? Or have you gone before? Did you realize that the fingernail-gnawing was a total waste of good nails; the plans didn’t really matter... Continue Reading →

A.J.'s Got You Covered – This Week's Top Cover – "Two Boys Kissing" by David Levithan – Cover Photo by Evan Walsh

This week was slim pickins in the "ooo" category. In fact, this one didn’t really do it for me either. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice, just not "wow". If I saw this in a long row of books in a book store, I don’t know if I would pick it up or not. I... Continue Reading →

Be Forewarned – Taylor V. Donovan Wants To Give You “Heatstroke”!

Is It October Seventeenth Yet? When GRL kicked off in October 2011 I was still learning my way around MM Romancelandia. I’d been reading gay romance almost exclusively for a few years already, and Six Degrees of Lust was under contract, but it wasn’t until April 2011 that I joined Goodreads. That’s when I really...

Carter Quinn Is In The House, And He’s Giving Away Great Prizes!

After a year of anticipation, GRL is only a few days away and, of course, I’m not ready. Hey, I said anticipation, not that p-word everyone tries to get me to do. Puh-pla-planning. Ugh. Just typing the word makes me shudder. I swear my tombstone should read “Here lies Carter Quinn who has Plenty of... Continue Reading →

P.D. Singer Is Here To Pedal Some Goodies To Celebrate GRL!

The entire world, or the Chez Singer section of it, comes to a screeching halt in late June and early July, because the Tour de France is on. When each stage can take hours to air, even in the condensed cable TV version, and then the Marital Unit needs to watch it all over again... Continue Reading →
