The Property Brothers
There's a TV show I watch often called, The Property Brothers, for various reasons, one of which is that Tony and I have always been interested in real estate and we've always been invested in real estate. Although Tony doesn't practice real estate professionally, he has his license in escrow and he got the license to know more about the business. When I'm not browsing through vicious vituperative publishing blogs for sport and sheer ridiculous entertainment, I'm per...

Equal Rights Blog Hop: What LGBT Community Means to Me
Equal Rights Blog Hop: What LGBT Community Means to Me
Before I get into the post about what it means to me to be a member of the LGBT community. I'd like to link to the main blog hop page at Queer Town Abbey, and this is a link to the prizes I will be giving away at the end of the hop. Please leave your comment on this post, not on the post I've linked to that talks about the prizes. This is the post where I will be drawing the names of the winners.
This is an interesting subject, and more c...

Equal Rights Blog Hop Prize
For those who don't know, there's a blog hop for equal rights beginning tomorrow, the Fourth of July, and along with posts written by bloggers about what it means to them to be part of the LGBT community, there will also be a few prizes given away. At first I didn't think I'd have time, but then I reconsidered and I thought it was important enough to make the time. So I'm doing the hop, too. There's a link to my blog at the link I provided above.

Do Book Blog Reviews Count? The Women Who Love to Love Gay Romance Update
Do Book Blog Reviews Count?
There's an interesting post today over at The Passive Voice by a book blog reviewer, Big Al, from Writers in the Storm Blog. He discusses a few things I've always wondered about book blog reviews, and compares book blogs to large publications that review books like the New York Times. I think whether or not you agree with him will come down to how you shop for books and how you vet reviews for books nowadays. And I hate to say it's generational because I...

What's a Street Team? Delaware Gay Marriage
What's a Street Team?
I've been hearing the term Street Team for at least the past five years and I've never really paid much attention to it. First, the books and stories I write are predominantly erotic gay romance and my readership tends to be discreet. So I never thought it would be a viable way to promote erotic romance of any kind. And, a Street Team always seemed like so much work to me that it might take away from my writing time, which always comes first and foremost on...

The Last Boyfriend by J. S. Cooper New Adult Fiction
While I was perusing the interwebz this weekend for new adult fiction I stumbled across a very interesting author, J. S. Cooper, who has written a book titled, The Last Boyfriend. In fact, it's next on my TBR list for a variety of reasons, one of which is the spectacular cover.
If you have not checked out her facebook page, I highly urge you to do so. She seems like a nice person, with an honest voice, and her updates are...

If I Were Paula Deen's Literary Agent
If I Were Paula Deen's Literary Agent
There has been a great deal written and discussed about television personality and cookbook author, Paula Deen, in the past two weeks. And one of the things I was watching closely was what would happen with her upcoming cookbook with Random House, and how Deen's literary agent would react.
In spite of how much I hate the N-word, and anything even remotely related to racism, I've tried to remain objective while posting about Paula Deen. And this post i...

Brother vs Brother; Frat Pack; Scott Brothers Entertainment
There's a new TV show coming out this July titled, Brother vs Brother, and it looks like it was inspired somewhat from two members of the infamous Frat Pack, Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. At least that's what Jonathan Scott, one of the stars of the TV show, tweeted today. I'm a HUGE Owen Wilson fan, but I've never actually seen a Ben Stiller movie, so that's as far as I can go in that direction.
Aside from all this, I am looking forward to Brother vs Brother on HGTV. I've been a fan of th...

Cover Preview: Cowboy In Love Bad Boy Billionaire Series
Here's a cover preview for an upcoming book in the Bad Boy Billionaire series, Cowboy in Love.
The entire book is set in Texas, and it gets very emotional in more than one part. The main character is still grieving for his deceased husband, and doesn't know how to move on with his life. I'll post a release date soon.
Here's a link to a free excerpt and a book description, and some info that explains more of the book in detail.

Alec Baldwin Gay Slurs; Free Excerpt Tea Dance
I really do like to post more positive things on Fridays, but I just couldn't ignore the recent gay slurs from Alec Baldwin again. And in light of what's been happening with Paula Deen all week, I think what Baldwin did is highly relevant when it comes to the different standards we set.
Evidently, Alec Baldwin didn't like something a reporter wrote about him, and he went off on that reporter on twitter. There are links to this everywhere. This is from gawker:
I'm gonna find you, George St...
