Given a choice between grief and nothing, I’d choose grief.
--William Faulkner
Today is my father’s birthday.
Whether or not other people realize it, my father was the greatest man in the world. Most certainly the tallest, if we’re speaking honestly. But he could also lay claim to being the smartest, the fastest, the biggest, and the funniest man alive. There’s times I was sure he was a superhero,... read more »

TJ
added a status update: An insane milestone! Over nine months ago, BOATK was released much to my fear and trepidation. It's been a wild ride, but BOATK to date is still on the GLBT bestseller list over at Amazon and recently surpassed 100 (!!!) reader reviews there. Thank you thank you THANK YOU to all the readers. I love the crap out of you all ;)

added a status update: Wishing it was Christmas already. Why, might you ask? Because I just got a crazy idea for The Kid vs. Santa/Satan Bad Poem Part 2. Maybe I just just make it a fourth of july poem instead? ;

“It’s not like I tease people with the things I’m doing,” the Kid continues. He deepens his voice. “Coming soon, I may or may not go outside. What will I choose? Find out… in another month.”

“Don’t even try to figure out where that came from. I assure you the logic chain in Bear’s head makes sense if you actually know him (and by ‘makes sense’ I mean in a Bear way), but for a newbie like you, it’ll probably just break your mind”

TJ. I just read Both Bear Otter and the kid stories..And Snap i LOVED them so much!! I was laughing Crying laughing and crying so more!! when it ended like that i was like I hope We get Ty and Doms story!
You Are awesome!! Loved it and i didnt want to say goodbye!!
Damn you T.J. Klune !! You made me cry on the bus because I was reading ''Who we are'' !! But I loved it despite the public humiliation :)) (Not the crying part but the book)
Thanks for accepting my friend request TJ. I can't tell you how much WWE is affecting me. I am at such a shitty place in life right now and Bear's internal monologue with God is a perfect example of what's going on with me. Especially when he goes back to the beach. It was very cathartic for me to sob like that! I love these characters that you so masterfully bring to life. I see maybe , 10 years later...Dominic & the Kid...
Congratulations on Burn, TJ! Just got it from DSP. Can't wait :)Good luck with everything TJ. You deserve it!
All the best,
Susan
I get to start Burn tonight. TJ, I'm super super excited AND PROUD of you. You've come quite far since 4th grade. Love and lots of it from the Bay Area. xoxo

Congratulations on Burn coming up on Dreamspinner - won't be long now! And the cover - that is totally going to pop in the thumbnail size! Looks great!

And I will make the time, now. Thank YOU Deeze, for the nominations you gave me =D
Merry Christmas Tj.

Hey Tj, I saw this and imediately thought of you or rather your original title for Burn lol. Anyway just thought I'd share. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xs9T-jlzwhA...
Hi Tj. I just finished reading your Interview over at http://networkedblogs.com/qkARr Very enjoyable insight to a little more of your life lol. Congrats. I hope you keep us posted on any other interviews.
Read in a comment you made on someone's book update that you're looking for longish reads, something over 200 pages... I have some suggestions, if you'd like to hear them?
NO, I did not know that! The survey monkey site wants me to sign up for something though? is that the only way to access it?
Hey TJ! You probably know this, but if not, BOATK is up for a Bookie Award :) The link is below, there are lots of things to vote for, but your book is on question #22!https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/69XZZKW
Congratulations on a successful move then lol. I hope you have many happy years there. Not to mention many many happy memories of writing :p
The Kid did move with you right? You never forgot him in the rush? Quick go check make sure he around. :p Although I think maybe he would of been hard to forget, standing at your shoulder asking things the way he does or more likely telling you the best way to move LOL.
(OK me thinks I getting far to attatched to that Kid)*embaressed smile*
It went Deeze. THat's about all I can say. I've still get some minor stuff to get done but other than that, I am in my new house and I love it!
Thank you for accepting my friend request T.J. :-) I love BOATK! I thought the same thing about Jonah and Bear's mother as Morgana ;-)
Thanks for accepting my friend request, T.J. :)And thank you for writing BOATK! It's one of the best mm romance books I have ever read. It made me laugh, cry, it made me sad and angry (I wanted to throttle Ty and Bear's mother! The nerve of that woman!), but most of all, your book made me immensely happy. It was such a joy to see the boys finding their happily ever after. You know, I cannot remember ever being so emotional about any other book, and know what? I love it! So much that I've just ordered the paperback edition of BOATK. I simply must have it on my bookshelf! :D
I have a question, though. How did Bear and Ty's mother know that Otter had lived in San Diego? I even started thinking that somehow she must have met Jonah or something and he paid her for causing Bear to break up with Otter (if they were together, of which Jonah could not be sure). But that's not possible, is it? I bet it's only my overactive imagination. But I would really like to know how she found out about San Diego.
Anyway, once again thank you for writing this wonderful book. There is only one thing that would make me happier... Any guesses? Well, I bet it's not that hard to guess :D A sequel, of course! :) Any chance for it? Oh, please, say yes! I would love to read more about Bear, Otter and the nine-year-old ecoterrorist in training LOL and finally find out how that woman knew about Otter’s previous whereabouts. Geez, I sound like a broken record. But I’m really dying to know this!
Thanks again for this brilliant book! ;)
Hey Jennifer! I'm so happy you loved BOATK. The fact that you even read it is awesome to me. It was my debut and so I was WAY nervous. But thank you for reading the book!And as for more? LOL, I have a feeling your wish will be my command ;)
Thanks for accepting my friend request T.J.I just finished reading Bear, Otter and the Kid. I LOVED it!! More please?? :)
