One Good Thing

It's Giveaway Time! I'm going to be giving away a SIGNED copy of my newest novel Woke Up in a Strange Place . All you have to do to enter is comment on my ONE GOOD THING posts within the next week. That's from today, March 1, 2011 to next Monday, March 7, 2011. Only the ONE GOOD THING commenters will be entered to win. Why? Because it's an arbitrary rule I just made up. Anyway, your name will only be counted once and at the end of said time I'll stick you all in a hat and pull one of you back out. I know this is unfair, but because I'm not a wealthy man I have to keep the contest to those in the US only. I have some kickass readers of other nationalities, but the world being as pricey as it is, I just can't afford the postage. Please forgive me.

Anyway, let the games begin! Off with your heads!

Looks like Mr. Sexy needs help getting those tight pants over his rather juicy bum...

I don't think it's going to get better than this today, so I'm gonna go ahead and post my "One Good Thing." Jessewave gave Woke Up in a Strange Place an unbelievable review! 5+ stars! Read it HERE. I'm so glad this was the first review I've seen of the book so far, though I have received messages from a couple of readers telling me how much they liked it. Highly appreciated, everyone! Let me tell you!

This man is beautiful. Like Brando meets Tom of Finland.

I am the very first interview on Carey Parrish's new site, The Outer View. You can check it out HERE. I'm chatty lately, huh? But I still have plenty of secrets. Don't you worry. The ol' well is far from being dried up. Anyway, check out Carey's new site. Some of you will remember his older site Web Digest Weekly. It was pretty popular, especially because of Carey's friendships and interviews with reality show contestants and hijinkers.

The Backwater Gospel

My friend Charles Esquiaqui brought this to my attention. A beautifully animated piece of eerie American Gothic.

"This lovely novella is more of a wonderful addition to the best of gay literature than it is a traditional romance." I'm supposed to be promoting my new novel Woke Up in a Strange Place , which was released yesterday, but I simply MUST post a link to this review of Another Enchanted April on Jessewave. The comparison to Michael Cunningham at the end nearly made me cry.
