Complicating matters is a visit from Noah’s parents from Wisconsin, and Nicky’s suspicion that Noah may be hiding more than a cut, smooth body.

DRAMA QUEEN on Elisa Rainbow's List of Best LGBT Books for 2015

Thank you Lorraine Lesar​ of Three Books Over the Rainbow for selecting DRAMA QUEEN as a favorite LGBT Book of 2015 on Elisa Rainbow​'s list! "Most probably the funniest book I have read in my long history of reading. It was absolutely hilarious, it held the vibe of an old fashioned "English Farce" with a modern twist. The authors observational skills hit like a tsunami, totally unexpected and devilishly cunning in his execution - the result? belly-ache laughter at loud, it should carry a health warning "do not read in a public place, the author is not responsible if warning is unheeded". Lethe Press​ Michael Gilboe​

It could be curtains for college theatre professor Nicky Abbondanza. With dead bodies popping up all over campus, Nicky must use his drama skills to figure out who is playing the role of murderer before it is lights out for Nicky and his colleagues. Complicating matters is Nicky's huge crush on Noah Oliver, a gorgeous assistant professor in his department, who may or may not be involved with a cocky graduate assistant...and is also the top suspect for the murders! You will be applauding and shouting Bravo for Joe Cosentino's fast-paced, side-splittingly funny, edge-of-your-seat, delightfully entertaining novel. Curtain up!

Lorraine Lesar: Reading is my escapism, I love it. I like sharing my thoughts on books, so that other readers can see what they are getting for their hard earned cash. I don't always leave a review, only when I have something to say. I try to see the positives in every book, even when they are "not my cup of tea" as I believe that authors spend months if not years, writing their masterpieces and it must be soul destroying for them, if they do not get positive and great reviews. Having said that, I will give a low star rating if I feel it's warranted. I work hard and even though my family have now flown the nest (and I have my first grandson), I am involved in their lives offering support and a lot of child-minding hours, so as I said, reading is my escapism!

Beautiful Review of A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

What a beautiful, heartfelt, and well-written review for A Home for the Holidays (now at 25% off at Dreamspinner Press) from Diane Nelson​ at GGR-Review​! “A Home for the Holidays a delightful, heartwarming journey of discovering one’s roots and the traditions that bring meaning to family. At the same time, it explores how breaking with tradition and becoming the person you were meant to be is also part of that grounding process, that finding home and making it your own is exactly what this holiday season is about. Filled with gentle humor and the lush backdrop of the isle of Capri, the story takes you on a wonderful guided tour of this landscape of the heart and the mind. The descriptions are a feast for the mind’s eye, the supporting characters quintessentially Italian, and the main characters—Bobby and Paolo—are the kind of yin and yang match that captures the imagination and the heart. For a charming seasonal read, A Home for the Holidays will leave you sighing with happiness.” http://ggr-review.com/book-review-a-h...
