For the last three years I have hosted an LGBT event here on the blog during the month of May. On the event, we invite everyone to discuss LGBT fiction and why they read it. Some of my favorite blog guest posts have been posted during this event and I am looking forward to seeing what people come up with this time round. We are lucky enough to have authors who read and write […]
The LGBT event on Scorching Book Reviews has been running for the last 3 years, promoting LGBT fiction with reviews, interviews and Guest Posts every day for a month. This year is no different and I’m looking for authors and bloggers to get involved and Guest Post on the blog. I really am open to whatever you want to write; I’ve had personal posts, Top Ten lists, book reviews and even character posts. This […]
April was LGBT event for us here at Scorching Book Reviews and it was bloody fabulous. There was authors of gay, lesbian and transgender fiction involved and I loved every single post. Yesterday was the final post but you can see them all indexed here https://www.scorching-book-reviews.com/lgbt-event/ For everyone who commented on the individual authors’ giveaways, the winners will be announced in the comment sections of those events and the authors will be contacted. As for […]
I write mainly m/f romances. It’s true. While I started my publishing career with handful of boy-on-girl stories, I knew I wasn’t going to stay strictly within that genre forever. I am very much a love who you love type of person, and I love it when my characters show me who they want to be with instead of me picking for them. When I started my Mischievous Matchmaker series I had a pretty […]
Okay, I’ll raise my hand right now and say I’m pretty pessimistic when it comes to weddings. True, my hubs and I have been married for almost twelve years and we’re still alive and kicking. But, generally speaking, the weddings I’ve attended—and left with my pockets significantly lighter—haven’t fared quite so well. Let me get out my paper and do some math. I was a bride’s maid in three weddings. Two of those are […]
“Missed Connections” is categorization of ads on Craigslist where one person posts a message to try to find or engage with another. Often times the two are strangers whose paths crossed momentarily, with no names or contact info exchanged. Or they are acquaintances, but one is too shy to approach the other in real life. The content of these Missed Connections ads include anything from super sweet declarations of affection to erotically explicit offers […]
As I write this blog post, I’m waiting for my latest book, Love You Forever, to “go live” on Amazon. By the time this posts, it will have been out a few weeks. But sitting here right now, I’m nervous. About the usual stuff (Will it sell? Will people like it? Will I get positive reviews?) and about some other stuff, too. Most notably those sins and mistakes and really bad choices I let […]
Notes for the interviewer: Despite the Kuiper family’s insistence that the kidnapping of their son, Richard Kuiper VII, was a botched publicity stunt, there is still a strong feeling amongst the Interplanetary Bodies’ Security Force that a criminal act was committed. The initial internment for the apparent kidnapper, Jared Kel Tamajaq, supports this, as does the fact The Field still has an arrest warrant out to recover him after his jailbreak. Jared Kel Tamajaq […]
LGBTQ anything is often associated with the rainbow. It’s an excellent allegory. There are so many different colors of non-cis, non-straight, non-heteronormative lives all blending on a sliding scale so that the rainbow really is the logical choice. It also represents the wide range of experiences and emotions that people with “non-standard” sexuality live through. From passion and happiness, to fear, anger, and loathing–it’s all in there. When I was growing up, I was […]
How awesome is it to be participating in Scorching Book Review’s 2014 LGBT event? Wait, wait, I can answer that! REALLY awesome! Where else would I get to participate with so many of my favorite authors in the field? There have been so many fascinating posts on Days 1-23 that I feel a little intimidated, but I’m going to forge on and talk a little bit about world-building. I’m lucky enough to share the […]
