Magic Mike XXL
The sequel to the film Magic Mike is in the making and the title is Magic Mike XXL. It will begin shooting this fall.
Rumors of a sequel to Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike have been bubbling for some time now, bringing fans of the original into a tizzy when star Channing Tatum posted to his Facebook page a photo of himself supposedly at work on the script under the gaze of a bust of Matthew McConaughey . Confirmation of the project has now come at long last, along with news of the...

NYT Best Writers Under 40
This is just one more reason why I'm glad I stopped reading the NYT almost altogether about five years ago. The NYT and Guardian UK are claiming that the best writers are, indeed, under the age of 40. Guardian even titles its post: "Let's Face It, After 40 You're Past It." And the NYT actually said: "They often compose their best and most lasting work when they are young," among other things that will make most sane people cringe. So Randy Susan Meyers did a...

Steve-O Is Naked
This is one of those posts that fall under the category of male full frontal nudity in a general sense, and mainly because I find the double standards with regard to male vs. female full frontal interesting. More often than not female full frontal is done, where male full frontal seems so shocking and taboo. There are many social and cultural arguments that could be made about this it could be a text book. I even posted about how male full frontal was so shocking in Germany re...

Wedding Remarks Beth Robinson; Gay Marriage Ban Ends in England, Wales
Wedding Remarks: Beth Robinson
I received an e-mail last night from Jeff Kaufman in LA who is producing the upcoming marriage documentary about Vermont, The State of Marriage. While going through transcripts he came across the remarks Vermont Supreme Court Justice Beth Robinson made at our wedding in Vermont last January. I've already posted about what an honor it was to have Judge Robinson perform the ceremony, but I didn't have her exact remarks until now. It's interesting how I actuall...

Gay Mormon Son
When I read this fascinating conversation between Rich Valenza and Mormon mom, Wendy Williams Montgomery, I couldn't help sharing it here on the blog. Valenza of RaiseAChild spoke in-depth with Williams Montgomery about her gay son, and about what happened after she found out he was gay. She was aware of what was happening in his life, enough to know there was something wrong, and she did what any good parent would have done...including me...she read his journal....

MA State Rep. HIV+; Sally Field's Gay Son; FREE Gay Excerpt Friday Sexual Transitioning
MA State Rep. HIV+
I think this is groundbreaking for several reasons. Massachusetts State Representative Carl Sciortino recently disclosed he's living with HIV, he resigned from office, and will soon be heading the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.
'As a gay man living with HIV, I am honored to lead one of the country’s oldest and most effective organizations in the battle against this disease which has raged on over 30 years,' Sciortino said in a statement.

Teen Tried Suicide 43 Times
This sort of thing just guts me to the core. In a follow up to a post to one I wrote earlier this week about a male teen who committed suicide after having an affair with a well known male TV personality in the UK, this latest news is so shocking it makes the original story even more frustrating.
The jury inquest in Truro heard how a gay male TV comedian, referred to as Mr X throughout proceedings, did ‘sexual things’ to the 18-year-old whil...

Fangsters: Sequel Story
I have a short story included in the upcoming release from Bruno Gmunder, Until the Sun Rises, that's actually a short sequel to my novel, Fangsters . For those who have read Fangsters, I kept all characters, and the story line continues as it did in the book.
You can check Until the Sun Rises out here on Amazon and order a pre-release copy. It should be out by June, and I'll post more about that in the future.
I think they did a wonderful job on the cover. This anthology is...

2014 has turned into one of the busiest years ever. Tomorrow I'll post about a short sequel to "Fangsters: Clan of the Jersey Boys," that will be a part of a new vampire anthology, Until the Sun Rises, with German Publisher, Bruno Gmunder. I get a lot of e-mails about Fangsters asking if there will be more in the series and right now I'm honestly not sure. But right now I'd like to post the cover preview of my latest indie, The Preacher's Husband. This one is...

Cancer Awareness: Penis in a Sock
(Update Below)
One thing in life I never take lightly is cancer or cancer awareness. I've had more friends and family than I can count deal with every cancer you can imagine from breast to pancreatic. I've lost some. I've seen some survive. My mom is a two time cancer survivor, and this past January she was diagnosed with another cancer totally unrelated to the first two. Tony's mom passed away in 2002 from pancreatic cancer. There isn't a thing I haven't...
