About this author

I live in Minnesota (where the two seasons are snow removal and road-repair, and the mosquito is the state bird, and where sometimes in winter it is so beautiful you can't breathe for gazing at it). I have been writing for longer than I care to admit, and currently am focused on writing m/m romance. I have an interview from Sept 2012 on Reviews by Jessewave for those who are interested.

My first professionally published book, Life Lessons, came out from MLR Press in May 2011. This was the first thing I had submitted anywhere and I was thrilled when it was accepted. There are two free short sequels, And to All a Good Night, and Getting it Right. The sequel novels are Breaking Cover and Home Work.

Gay Couple

Today is the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia. There's a blog hop going on among authors and publishers for this event - and I'm not actually part of it. (Life got a bit complex and I just missed the chance to sign up officially. I put a link for you at the bottom of the post.) But I still wanted to write something today. And if you read down, there is a prize drawing for... Read more of this blog post »

“That's part of being gay, you know. It's not just who you want in bed. It's who your emotional relationships are with the other twenty-three hours of the day, whose arms you want around you when life hands you shit.”
Kaje Harper, Life Lessons

“I know you're not looking for a relationship, or even a fuck buddy, but...are you looking for anything that I can be?”
Kaje Harper, Lies and Consequences

“Sometimes when you live with one man for more than half your life, you stop really seeing him. Not stop loving him. That center-of-my-heart kind of love doesn't go away. But really paying attention gets submerged in the stupid details of day to day life.”
Kaje Harper, Like the Taste of Summer

“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.”

“Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken.”
Terry Pratchett, Eric

“When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.”

Kaje Harper My daughter sent me a link to this picture, and it made me think of books with kids in them, and then I started reading Keeping Promise Rock, again, and now my whole day has been spent with Crick and Deacon, and little Parry Angel, and I'm not sorry.

Yeah, I've had that with other folks; neither of us wants to look pushy and it takes about six months before one of us says, "Why the hell aren't we "friends" yet?"

message 20: by Kaje

Kaje Harper Not yet. It went to lines, so it should be about 2 more weeks, but might be 3 if the line editor is busy. It needs lines/proofing/formatting and then will release on the first Friday after that is done. I will post on my blog when I know. That's MLR - no advance warning but no waiting :)
