14 Gay Negative Statements; Honoring Stonewall in London
14 Gay Negative Statements
This article claims there are 14 things you should never say to a gay man. Of course it's a tongue-in-cheek piece and none of it's written in stone, however, I noticed a few things I've posted about over the years myself and it's interesting in a general sense to see I wasn't the only one thinking this way. I thought this line was interesting: "the factory of Sex in the City tokenism." I've used the old TV show Sex in the City so many times as a point of reference I...

Self-Published Authors Big Sales
I've been saving this to post because I wanted to read it over first. It's interesting because it's the first time I've seen something like this, and I never actually thought I would (in my lifetime). Things are changing, and fast. If it's accurate, and I have no reason to believe it's not, one quarter of Amazon the top 100 kindle books are self-published.

James Franco/Batman
If you have a faint heart, you probably shouldn't click the link to this piece about James Franco and his Batman and Robin photos. If you have a sense of humor, you'll love it. And like with everything else Franco, I'm sure there's an underlying message somewhere. He does nothing by accident. We might never know what exactly that message is. But it's there.
James Franco's version of 50 Shades might actually be more NSFW than the original.
The actor took to Instagra...

Nigella Lawson Update
Last summer when I posted about cookery/lifestyle celeb, Nigella Lawson, I have to admit I was quietly hoping for an update like this, but wasn't sure I would get it. However, Lawson not only divorced the idiot who used physical force on her, in a public restaurant last summer while photographers shot photos, but she left the nasty bastard without taking one cent of his money and declared her own independence.
Lawson also testified that her ex-husband was threatened b...

Dirty Movie Clip Mistake; Johnny Weir Calls Us Idiots
Dirty Movie Clip Mistake
This past weekend in Pinellas Park, FL, moms and dads took their dear well-behaved little ones to see a family fun-filled flick, with wild and wacky shenanigans, and wound up running for cover when the movie theater showed an explicit erotic film clip by mistake. This travesty calls for every Internet-ism ever used, including OMG, WTF, and my all time favorite, YGTBKM!!
Evidently, there were tech difficulties and while they worked on...

This morning I looked at my inbox and found an e-mail exchange between Tony and someone at allromanceebooks.com about a customer who had an issue with a self-pubbed e-book. Long story short, she/he couldn't download the e-book with Word because of Mac issues and HTML issues on her/his end, which rarely ever happens. In fact, it's never happened before. But we all know that anything can happen and usually does eventually. And even though it's the first...

Review: Lethal Obsession Deserted
Review: Lethal Obsession Deserted
I love any book that begins with an acknowledgement to Glenfidditch, however, that was only the beginning with this one. Lucca is a lonely, arrogant, rebellious young man who seems to crave attention from his family. However, due to this lack of attention from family he winds up finding it in a few questionable places. Almost as if he's daring himself to see how far he will go. And in the same respect, his self-destructive nature could also be described as ven...

Martha Stewart's Regret
When I released the first book in the Second Chance series last week, I had a lot of people tell me about regrets in life they've had, and how it would be interesting to get a second chance. So when I saw this article with video about Martha Stewart's one big regret I thought I'd post it as a good example of how everyone has one or two things they might want to change about their lives, if given a second chance.
Stewart also has a new book out. You can read more here, a...

Tops and Bottoms, Huh? Secret Millionaire Dies
Tops and Bottoms, Huh?
There's an amusing article at Huff Po today, with an even more amusing video, that makes a few valid points but in the end fails to get right into the reality of the matter at hand: tops and bottoms.
One guy said this:
"I think a lot of guys are versatile or do both [positions], but I think there some people who just want to get f**ked or just want to f**ck! And so I don’t think we should take that away from them either,” said Michelson. “I agree with you that there’...

"Jessewave" M/M Site Closes Shop for Good in January
Although I've never been really active as a participant at Jessewave, I have followed some of their posts over the years and I was once a collaborator in a post about condoms and gay fiction about four years ago. I always thought it was an interesting site...and I mean interesting in a variety of ways...and I'm both surprised and sorry to see them close. There was a lot of energy in the "voice." And in some ways, I wonder if it might no...
