The Glamorous Life Of A Writer
As a novelist, the three main questions I get asked are:
1) What’s your writing process?
2) Where do you get your ideas for your books?
3) When was the last time you showered?
Let’s tackle these one at a time.
What’s your writing process?
When I first start a novel, I spend a few weeks picking my nose and staring at the blinking cursor on my laptop screen. Meanwhile, I drink a few gallons of tea, sta Read more of this blog post »

"The most perfect choice for my first read of 2026. I love Isaac Dahl, and truly wish he was a real person, because 12 stories (memories) from his very long life were just not enough."

"There's one thing you can count on with Bart Yates books: They're compelling and compulsively readable. The Very Long, Very Strange Life of Isaac Dahl is no exception."

"4.5 ⭐️
I just really love being with a character for their entire life. This reading experience just felt really human and the minor problems I had with the story/narration I was able to retcon in my brain as realistic because technically this is an e" Read more of this review » |

| A.V. Shener has become my go-to author for classy gay erotica, with steamy sex scenes, interesting characters, and intricate plots that veer from darkness to light and always keep me guessing. END SCENE is a great addition to Shener's oeuvre. The vil ...more | |

“I should probably apologize for how much I swear, but fuck it. I've read that some people think swearing shows a lack of imagination and a limited vocabulary, but sometimes "darn" and "poop" and "oh heck" just don't cut it. Besides, swearing is kind of fun.”

“It seems to be that loneliness is a small price to pay for peace and quiet.”

“Love attacks. It sneaks up like a pride of lions or a pack of hyenas and eats your heart out while you watch. Love is the bully on the playground who takes your lunch money and gives you a black eye in return, the arsonist who burns your house down with you in it, the witch who lures you into her home with candy and boils you alive for dinner. Love is raw, and violent, and instantaneous. You don’t fall in love; you get trampled by it.”

“Where does a child of mine get all that hair, I wonder? Arthur’s not exceptionally hirsute, and the men on my side of the family are as bald as potatoes. I must have had an affair with a gorilla before he was born, but you’d think I’d remember something like that, wouldn’t you? ... Be a dear and remind me to leave my brandy flask at home the next time I visit the zoo.”
