This review really captured what I was hoping to achieve with the book. Reprinted with permission of the reviewer. Mel’s Review Posted on Goodreads July 2, 2013 5 Stars Link: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/647506474 When I was 2/3 of the way through this book, if you had asked me what I thought of it, I would have said it was a very nicely written character driven novel. The focus was primarily on the two MCs and their developing relationship. Ryan is down on his luck; thrown out on the streets by his family because he’s gay. Gar (Will) saves Ryan from street thugs intent on robbing and killing him. Gar has never intervened in a crime in progress before… his usual gig is seeking vengeance …

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 …

Hope to see you there.

Purpose was released today by Dreamspinner Press: Some things in connection with the release. First, you can buy the book on Dreamspinner Press,  ARe, B & N and Amazon. Second, I posted the first of three Pre-quels yesterday on my site – Goodbye.  There are two more coming out Monday on Rick R. Reeds Blog and the last on Joyful Jay’s Site.  Check them out either before or after you read the book. They give a sense of some  of the book – mostly Will’s background.  They don’t touch on Ryan’s so maybe those are shorts I can do later on. Next, I’m doing Release Day guest posts at the Purple Rose Tea House talking about Happy Ever After/Happy for Now vs. Bittersweet endings. Stop by …

The Beginning of Purpose Even though David never appears in the book – he died forty years before the book begins – he is an essential part of the book.  David was Will’s first love who was killed right about the time the Purpose chose Will as Its host. Losing the man he loves shapes Will – as it would any of us I suppose – but not as much as being host to a spirit of vengeance.  In Goodbye, I show a bit of the back-story of Will’s feelings for David. It takes place on the one-year anniversary of David’s death. The other purpose, if you will, is to show the beginning of the ‘death’ of Will. Turning into …

I don’t think I can honestly say I’ve been quiet about the release of Purpose. I mean, I’ve been on three blogs, had them reposted on Facebook and tweeted them. I even remembered folks  a couple times when one was ending and a new one began.  To be honest, with all the ‘views’ I’ve gotten, I expected more people would sign up for something free. And it’s not just an eBook. I’m trying to give away a $15.00 gift certificate to Dreamspinner Press. That way if you already bought the book or if you don’t want the book, you can just take the money and buy whatever you like in Dreamspinner’s store. And you can enter multiple times. Each blog stop …

Purpose: By Andrew Q. Gordon – Release Date 6-21-13 In less than two week, Purpose will be released. As I mentioned when I first announced the date – I’m going to try a few different things. One of them is to post three ‘prequel’ short stories in place of excerpts. Two will be in the year to eighteen months after the Purpose finds Will. The third is about twenty-five years years at the first two and about fifteen before chapter 1 begins. These will expand on past events mentioned in the book. In addition to the these backstories, I’ll be giving away an eBook copy with each Pre-Release guest blog post. Each contest will last three days and will ask readers …

M.A. Church is my guest today serving up an excerpt from her new book – The Yellow Rope. The Yellow Rope Blurb: A cranky submissive… Luke Walker is tired. He spends long hours between his job as a teacher assistant at an elementary school and helping out his family at their restaurant.

An understanding Dom… Gage Holt has been on both sides of the fence. He believes that in order to be a good Dom, one has to understand being a sub. Unfortunately, he’s had some bad experiences …
