BULLYING (OR NOT SO MUCH) Carole Cummings So, I guess you’d have to live under a rock (or be a writer in the cruel, all-consuming throes of a developing story) to have missed all the #AskELJames … stuff. And if you’ve seen all that, you’ve likely seen the follow-up calls of shame on you or... Continue Reading →
Where are all the baldies and the fatties? Chances are, if you’re reading a M/M romance story, sooner or later the guys will remove their clothes. (Hopefully sooner!) And chances are, when they get nekkid, they will have six-pack abs, chiseled muscles, and not an ounce of fat. Now, I know books are fiction. The... Continue Reading →

Who hasn’t heard someone say boys don’t cry? Or seen readers debate whether they’re okay with that in their books on Goodreads or Facebook. As authors, we have this conversation too. We want to avoid stereotypes; we want our characters to reflect men that we know; and we want the story to have what it... Continue Reading →
You would think that designing the cover for a book would be the easiest part of the entire novel process. You would be frustratingly mistaken.

Thanks, Lisa, for having me on your blog today. My new story, The Altered 2, was released yesterday. It’s the second book in the Lycanaeris series. I love writing secondary characters, almost as much as the main ones, but usually their stories are all nicely wrapped up by the end of the book. When I... Continue Reading →

The Novel Approach welcomes TA Moore today on the Labyrinth of Stone blog tour. Writers are creatures of habit. Not all - but most - have a few routines that in place that lubricate the flow of inspiration. They write in a specific place or play a specific song; they write in the morning or...

When we first began writing our sexy, gay twists on classic fairy tales, we deeply offended someone on the internet, who ranted that the children’s stories we all grew up reading should remain unsullied. We thought it rather amusing that this person was crusading to retain the purity of fairy tales when the original stories... Continue Reading →
