Baseball and the Rainbow League By Kate McMurray It’s public knowledge that I’m a baseball fan, right? I figure sports fandom is one of those things that knows no gender. At least not in my house growing up. My dad watches all of the sports. All of them. Even golf. And Sunday was for watching…

Guest Post: Drama Queen Audio Release by Joe Cosentino
I was always a ham as a kid, forcing my unsuspecting parents and neighbors to watch my lavish musicals in the garage. After college I became a professional actor, working in film, television, and theatre opposite stars like Rosie O’Donnell, Nathan Lane, Bruce Willis, Charles Keating, Jason Robards, and Holland Taylor. Moving on to playwriting…
Guest Post: Between the Lines by J. Scott Coatsworth
One of the best things about being an author is that you get to write what you love. For me, that’s always been sci fi and fantasy. But growing up as a gay kid in the closet, I also wanted to read more about people like me. But I was afraid that if I wrote…

Guest Post: Bullying (Or Not So Much) by Carole Cummings
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…
Guest Post and Excerpt: The Behind Closed Doors Blog Tour With A.J. Truman
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…

Guest Post and Excerpt: Phoenix by Racheline Maltese and Erin McRae
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…
Guest Post: A Way Back to Then by Robert Halliwell
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. How does one try to sum up a 200 page story with just one image? Well, lemme tell ya. It ain’t easy. I knew what I wanted. I just couldn’t…
Guest Post and Excerpt: Despite the Odds by Chris T. Kat
What is cerebral palsy? Hello, I’m Chris T. Kat, visiting The Novel Approach again. :) I’m here to talk about my new release, Despite the Odds (Odds Are: Book One). Despite the Odds is the first book in the Odds Are series, and was published by Dreamspinner Press on June 3rd. One of the main…
Guest Post and Excerpt: The Altered 2 by Annabelle Jacobs
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…

Guest Post: The Labyrinth of Stone Blog Tour by TA Moore
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…
Guest Post: Once Upon a Time — Reimagined Fairy Tales with Keira Andrews & Leta Blake
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…
