Point of View: The Future is Now (And It Kinda Sucks)

by
flying cars - deposit photos

We all grow up in a world we think we know. Not just that, but we assume it’s always been like this. That’s natural – we have no other personal frame of reference, other than old TV shows and movies (and of course books) that offer us a two-dimensional look at life the way it used to be. But times change, and with them, almost everything we take for granted does too. When I was in high school, back in the early-to-mid eighties, World War II was in the way far distant past. So far back that films were in … Read more

Hurri Cosmo has a new contemporary MM romance out: His Fake Boyfriend. And there’s a giveaway. Noah is Griffin Colewater’s best friend and absolutely no one knows him better.

Griffin is the oldest son of the owners of Colewater Properties, a multi-gazillion dollar hotel conglomerate. He is also next … Read more

Point of View: Diving Into Your Characters

by
Diving - deposit photos

Writing fascinating, well-rounded characters comes easily to some people. Character traits, past histories, and quirky, unique personalities seem to just flow out of their fingers and onto the page, and every book is a new adventure filled with a fascinating new cast. I am not one of those people. Are you? If you are, you can stop reading here. 🙂 I grew up devouring science fiction and fantasy, and I was hooked on the Big Concept. Dragons are real and can travel between in the blink of an eye? OMG, give me that book. Living space ships will carry humanity … Read more

Twitter is Dead to Me - Deposit Photos

In May 2009, I first dipped my toe into an exciting new social media site. OK, so by new I mean three years old at the time – I am rarely an early adopter. I like most of the bugs to be worked out. I started accounts for two of our business directory sites – Purple Roofs (LGBTQ+ travel) and Gay Realty Network (LGBTQ+ real estate professionals). In December of the same year, I opened a third account, a personal one to find other folks who spoke Italian. La Bella Lingua has been a passion of ours since we first … Read more

Questionable Minds - Fraser Sherman

Fraser Sherman has a new historical steampunk mystery book out: Questionable Minds. In Victorian England, 1888, there are those who say Sir Simon Taggart is under the punishment of God.
