Blurb: It’s taken Tommy Newsome a while to get his head around being gay. Growing up in a small town in Georgia, hasn’t prepared him for the more liberal life of a student at the university in Athens. Add to that the teachings of his parents and his church, and you have one shy young man who feels out of his depth. Working on his daddy’s farm hasn’t given him any chance of a social life, certainly not one like the clubs of Atlanta have on offer. Not that Tommy feels comfortable when he gets to sample it—Momma’s lectures still ring loudly inside his head. All that changes when he goes to his first gay bar and sets eyes …

Many years ago (okay so like two and a half, but it seems longer) I ‘met’ Skylar Cates—on line.  This year I got to meet her in person, not once, but twice. When I got the chance to join her current blog tour, I knew I wanted to interview her again. So, with that, take a few moments to read the interview, check out the new book (and hopefully go buy it) and then enter the giveaway. An Interview With Skylar M. Cates. Welcome back Skylar. Since it’s been a couple years since you were last here, remind people about yourself and tell us anything new. Hello! Thank you for having me back. I write contemporary MM for Dreamspinner. I …

Kim Fielding has a new release. Since I’m a big fan of Kim’s, I thought I’d post this and give folks a sneak peek. It comes out on Monday, so pace yourselves. But definitely pre-order it.

On a quest to deliver the letter, Jimmy travels to Rattlesnake, a small town nestled in the foothills of the California Sierras. The centerpiece …

Thanks to Andrew for letting me talk about the novel, Soldiers of the Sun with you all. Technically it’s the third in the series, but it’s a stand alone and the first full-length story. Andrew asked me to talk about why I picked the 1930s. I have two big loves. One is urban fantasy and the other is history so I decided to marry them in this series. I had a great time writing and researching it. To me having inaccurate historical data is embarrassing and even with the best of intentions it sometimes happens. I’m thankful for the editors who caught a couple mistakes. I chose the 1930s because it was a time period I didn’t know that much …

Please welcome, Anne Barwell to the Land of Make Believe today. Anne comes to visit from New Zealand and is here to talk about her newest release, Family and Reflection.  Another Perspective Thanks, Andrew, for hosting me. Family and Reflection, book 3 of The Sleepless City—the urban fantasy series which is a joint project between myself and Elizabeth Noble—reintroduces a character from book 1, Shades of Sepia. Ange Duncan, Ben’s friend from New Zealand, visits Flint, Ohio, and stays with the guys at Boggs’s Castle. Why bring her into this book when it is Lucas and Declan’s story? There are a couple of reasons for it. Firstly she’s a strong female character and I like those in my MM stories. It’s …
