BeYOUtiful – The Website.

I don’t do this a lot, but someone who follows me on twitter asked me to check out his site. Basically he and his co-author are devoting the site to short, positive messages.  The site says it’s aimed at young adults, but I think the message resonates with all ages – after all, we are ALL young at heart, right?  😛 Here’s the site. http://finduinbeautiful.tumblr.com If you check it out, leave Brice and Katy a message. -AQG

Guest Author: Sophie Bonaste

One of the nice things about doing guest author posts is that a lot of new and first time authors ask or agree to come visit.  I get to learn about them and their work before most other people discover them. That’s the case with today’s guest – Sophie Bonaste. She’s here to talk about her debut novel – The Sacrifices We Make. Guest Author: Sophie Bonaste Hello all! My name is Sophie Bonaste and I am going to be taking over Andrew’s blog for a short time. But before I begin, I want to send a big Thank You to Andy for letting my post this on his blog.

New Releases: Monday October 7, 2013

All authors face the same daunting task – how to get their book noticed. In an effort to help some of my fellow authors, every Monday I’m going to post some of the numerous new books that have been released. For the most part these will be M/M Fiction with a heavy bias on Romance. That will probably evolve over time, but for now that’s were it is. I’ve not read everything that is listed, though I’ve probably read or will read many. Which means inclusion on the list isn’t an endorsement or suggestion. You should read the blurbs provided to see if you’re interested. I’ll post reviews to books I recommend under the ‘Books I Reviewed’ tab. This is …

So I Got Married

As most readers know, Mike and I got married last weekend. Was probably the second best day I can remember – ‘lil q’s birth will be very hard to top. Everything went really smoothly – though I’ll admit to a touch of being grumpy toward the end of getting pictures taken. During the ceremony, just after the clerk asked ‘does anyone know why these two should not marry, speak now. . . .’ my 2 year old cousin decided to yell “NO!” to her mother. Fortunately, the clerk said a two year old’s objection doesn’t count. ‘lil q also felt the need to be more involved. Just as we started, she marched over, grabbed her diaper bag from her grandmother, marched …

Playing Ball – Blog Tour

Being a big baseball fan, I was eager – to say the least – to be included in this blog tour.  Being in the Washington DC area – Nationals Country – I feel the guest post I was given was a bit of friendly rivalry between Shae and myself, but, as they say – to the victors go the spoils. The Braves had a great year and deserved to be National East Champions. [gads that was hard to type.]  So with that, please read the chat between Shae and Kerry and then go buy the book. Make sure you read through to the end to check out the contest for some very cool prizes. Playing Ball – A Baseball Anthology …

The Importance of Marriage.

As many readers know, I’m about to get married. Today. Yes after almost 19 years, Mike and I are going to make it official. As my friend Larry Benjamin said to me yesterday – ‘we’ve come a long way.’ Sure there is more to do, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t achieved anything. When Maryland agree to recognize all lawful marriages – including same sex marriages – from other states, we effectively had marriage equality in Maryland, Mike and I made a conscious decision not to take advantage of the ruling, preferring to wait until we could get married in the state where we lived. Perhaps it was silly, but it made today that much more special knowing that the …

Guest Author: Kim Fielding

After today’s guest I think I need a break – I’m tired just thinking about all she’s done in the last year. I had the opportunity to meet Kim in Chicago this year and those pictures of her smiling are 100% accurate. She is so upbeat and positive that it’s hard not to smile when you’re with her.  So with that, take a moment to read on and see what Kim is up to these days. Guest Author: Kim Fielding Welcome Kim, I can’t believe it’s been seven months since you last visited. Thanks for inviting me over again!

Brunch With Friends

Today was the monthly DC Area MM Romance Group lunch meet up that Joyfully Jay helps organize. The meet up which brings together readers and writers in the DC Metro area. [Though I’m sure anyone from somewhere else who wanted to come would be welcome.]  Today the venue was Freddie’s Beach Bar in Arlington VA. Since I used to be neighbors with Freddie, who owns his name sake, today was a do not miss for me and ‘lil q. Aside from ‘lil q being a bit fussy at times – not really her fault, we had swim class right before, so she was tired – the day was outstanding.  ‘lil q had competition/company in the baby department as Bella Leone brought her …
