Hi Phil. My fellow authors at Regal Crest Enterprises have written Gay Horror: Check out Rick R. Reed's I.M. (http://www.rickrreed.com/) or Keith Pyeatt's STRUCK (http://www.keithpyeatt.com/).

Happy reading.

Hi Robert,

Take a look at my friend Rick R. Reed's novels. He does horror/suspense.

John Morgan Wilson does great mysteries.

Jim Grimsley for literary novels.

I've read a lot of others, but those are the best in the categories -- of course, except for mine! ;-)

Happy Reading,
Greg

I recently joined GoodReads and was glad to find this group.

I'm the author of two gay novels Fingering the Family Jewels - A Derek Mason Mystery and Devil's Bridge plus a historical fiction with a Navajo Two-Spirit character: Under a Copper Moon.

I agree with Robin that we have made great strides in the past few years and novels need to reflect that.

In my gay novels, I try to show characters where being gay is part of them, but not the entire definition. Coming out stories were great to let readers know that other people are having the same struggles, but now I like to read & write stories about people having struggles in everyday life and how biological families and families-of-choice encourage/distract the characters.

We're a rainbow of diversity (yes, I know that isn't original, but it fits so well) and our books should reflect that.

Please feel free to check my GoodReads page for the list of my books or hit my website http://www.GregLilly.com.

For those women looking for great reads about women, check out my publisher: Regal Crest Enterprises. The team there does wonderful work in lesbian fiction.
