Changing Titles and Book Covers: "Blissfully Yours" By Ryan Field Release Day

Changing Titles and Book Covers: "Blissfully Yours" By Ryan Field Release Day

Even though it's always been commonplace for publishers to do things like this, I've never actually done it until now. I have over 150 published works out there, and this is a first for me. But sometimes hybrid authors have to make business and creative decisions that may or may not affect their books, whether they like making those decisions or not.

I'm talking about changing the title of my most recent release, The...

Trevor Donovan Saves A Puppy's Life; Watch TV Host Comes Out; Adam and Jerome From The Voice

Trevor Donovan Saves A Puppy's Life

I started following Donovan by accident through social media about 5 years ago. He's starred in a lot of Hallmark Romance movies, and I guess the algorithms decided to show him in my feeds. And I'm glad I started following. He attracts a nice community of online people who stick around for the long haul. I've also noticed a lot of my followers who are romance readers follow him, too.

Right now Donovan is in Lake Havasu, AZ shooting a new film and he's been po...

First Openly Hot Gay NASCAR Driver Stephen Rhodes

Here's something we don't see too often. And I have more than a few gay friends who are fans.

However, Rhodes notes, holding such a title hasn’t been a complete joy ride. After all, Rhodes came out in 2001, a time he says was “a combination of both good and bad.” Despite the struggle, Rhodes was able to work his way up the ranks of the racing world, most notably when he joined the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) in 2003.

FREE Gay Book Excerpt: The Awakened Few by Ryan Field; Cowboy Sex In the Old Wild West

FREE Gay Book Excerpt: The Awakened Few by Ryan Field

Here's an excerpt from my upcoming release, The Awakened Few. It's a historical western erotic romance with cowboys, set in a small desert town called Ramon Canyon in 1907, where gay men exist, but it's never spoken about aloud. I don't have a cover yet, but I'll post something soon.


Flynn Carson did nothing by accident. Every move he'd ever made in his life had been researched, calculated, and fine-tuned right down to the last de...

Ken Doll Exhibit and Stereotypes of Masculinity; Make Your Penis Bigger Naturally; Batman's Full Frontal Male Nudity Debut;

Ken Doll Exhibit and Stereotypes of MasculinityWhen I wrote about the topic of masculinity in Kendle's Fire, my goal was to reach people to see if they would "get" it. And they did. Some were even nice enough to leave me reviews on Amazon, and for that I'm truly grateful. I never know how something like this will resonate with readers. Reader Review: This is GREAT story!! It's wonderful in its exploration of sexuality and masculinity.  This review is a lot longer,...

Chelsea Handler's Homophobic Gay Jokes; Rupert Everett On Gay Actors Not Getting Straight Roles; Pre-Marriage Equality In Taiwan

Chelsea Handler's Homophobic Gay Jokes

Apparently, Chelsea Handler made more gay jokes about Lindsey Graham yesterday during National Coming Out Day, and they backfired. I guess I must have missed it, because I stopped following her years ago on Twitter. I thought she was homophobic 10 years ago.

Finally, people spoke up. I've been sick of her gay jokes for a long time...in fact, for years. And I don't care if they're about Lindsey Graham or Elton John. I don't like them and I find them offensi...

Whoopi Goldberg Promised Neil Patrick Harris Sex; Ex-Cop Gets Prison For Taking Nude Pics of 17 Year Old Boy; Ariana Grande's New Pet Pig

Whoopi Goldberg Promised Neil Patrick Harris Sex

This took me aback. And I don't even like to use the word aback. I hate the word "aback."

Neil Patrick Harris was on The View on Wednesday, and this exchange happened.

“You know, I did my first movie ever with Whoopi Goldberg. A movie called ‘Clara’s Heart,’” Harris said.“She told me, I was 15, 16 years old, she told me on my last day of shooting that in 10 years’ time she was going to have sex with me,” he said.Here's more. Of course they made a...

Cute Male Teacher Hooks Up With Male Student On Grindr During School; New Gay Web Series, "Jaded"; The Joy of Gay Sex Illustrator

Cute Male Teacher Hooks Up With Male Student On Grindr During School

I wonder what the fans of the movie Call Me By Your Name think about this story. A cute young high school teacher in Kansas hooked up with a student on Grindr, during school hours, and now the teacher is facing a felony charge. And in this case it's interesting to note that the student is 18 years old and has reached the legal age of consent. 

According to recently released court documents, Adrian and the student first co...

New Case of PrEP Failure; Gay Marriage Ban Fails In Romania; Openly Gay College Football Players;

New Case of PrEP Failure

I've been reading a lot about PrEP in the last few years, and I know a few people who are on the regimen. One in particular who sticks to the PrEP regimen daily was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Kaposi Sarcoma. For those of you unfamiliar with KS, it's usually found in older people or people with full blown AIDS. The person I know doesn't fall into any of the usual categories. And according to this person I know, he's not the only one who's...

Netflix Gay Content Lacking; Big Brother Guest Comes Out On TV; Gay Porn Star Kyle Dean Dead

Netflix Gay Content Lacking 

This is good to see for a change. Considering that the gay content on Netflix right now is marginal at best.

Stunning news out of the New York Comic-Con: the much-anticipated Netflix reboot of She-Ra will feature out-gay characters.

Here's the link. To be clear, it's not that gay people want only gay content and nothing else. We just want to see a balance in mainstream content, with more gay characters. The gay character doesn't have to be the mai...
