Blog Hop
Hello Visitor!
Welcome to the Hop Against Homophobia and Transphobia (HAHAT). This post will remain up here for the duration of the blog hop, so if you’re a regular visitor, please scroll down for newer posts after May 17.
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia and being a member of the QUILTBAG myself (letter A, in case you’re wondering), here I am! I might have not been a victim of any phobia (except maybe being considered “weird”), but I know what it means to feel like an outsider or an outcast in this crazy world of ours. I’d love to see more… LOVE and less hatred around – in general, not only towards QUILTBAG members. I have many gay friends (for some reason not as many lesbians…) and I enjoy the beauty of diversity – as long as one remains civil. Fanatics of any kind and color irk me, even if they hide behind the excuse of religion or (worse) society.
I’m a writer and I love putting all kind of characters in my stories – no matter the genre. Gay “angels” (called Sila on Silvery Earth), lesbian cyborgs (Star Minds) or anything inbetween (mostly M/M, though) – past, present or future, I’m very character-oriented and I like diversity, feeling quite often an outsider or an outcast myself. I’m probably not writing better worlds, but I like watching my “different” characters interact with whatever is “normal” in their society – which often distracts me from my own life, but my husband, Mr Writing, is very understanding, since I give birth to our babies! 
This blog participated also last year with a simple giveaway of one title. This year I’m hosting also my other pseudonym, B.G.Hope, who doesn’t have a blog, but is as QUILTBAG-friendly as Barbara G.Tarn. And we published a few titles in 12 months, so this year’s giveaway comprises a choice among the following titles:
Smeraldo and Kyrio (Death of Queen Amazonia)
Silvery Earth (adult fantasy by Barbara G.Tarn): The Death of Queen Amazonia.
Star Minds (science fantasy by Barbara G.Tarn): Technological Angel (or any other of the series, if you already have the first).
body switch by B.G.Hope: new release Ciaran&Harith.
Or you can have her anthology of M/M romance Variations on a theme.
To win the ebook version in the format of your choice (Smashwords coupon for free download) please leave a comment on this post – not on other posts, on the Goodreads event or on Facebook. Only comments on this post will be entered for the giveaway. Specify the title you’d like to “win”, especially if you’re already familiar with my work.
The last day to enter is May 27 (end of the blog hop). And because I love you guys so much, I’ll give away one copy of each. The 4 Winners will be contacted by e-mail before the end of the month (you need to leave your e-mail to comment if you’re not a WP user anyway – leave a working e-mail, thank you!).
Thank you for stopping by. Feel free to continue the blog hop with the neat linky link below (the link works even if you can’t see the image – click on the red X)!
