Sunday, September 20th and Saturday, September 26th, I’ll be attending the Pride events in Roanoke, VA and Durham, NC, sharing a booth with the ever-tasty Amanda Young, and her yummy selection of m/m romances. Both events include a parade, food, music, vendors, and lots of fun. Please do stop by and say hello, and perhaps buy a book or two if you’re in the area!
Along with fellow m/m romance writers Kiernan Kelly and Kayelle Allen, I’ll be at Gay Days at Disney World this year, with books for sale, chapbooks to give away, promo items with pictures of yummy men (and beasts), and just generally enjoying the vibe of Gay Days. It’s always a scene, always fun, and always upbeat.
Selling romance to gay men can be a challenge sometimes. I remember one year a guy said, “Gay romance? It must be fiction.” Which made us laugh but then feel kinda sad. Everyone *wants* romance in their lives, and some of us only get it on paperĀ it appears.
Along with Animal Attraction 2 and Rough Cut, I’ll have lots of titles from Cleis Press available including Best Gay Romance 2009, Surfer Boys, and a couple of the Best Lesbian Erotica series. After all, women want romance and sex too.
Please do stop by our booth and say hi if you’ll be there!
