I'm blogging today at the Macs
Today I’m blogging over at the Macaronis. It’s somewhat of an editorial, entitled The Closet of Some Who Write Gay Romance. My opinion may rub some the wrong way, but it is, after all, just my opinion. Some great points have been made in the comments. Feel free to post your own 2 cents to the conversation. -
National Coming Out Day
I don't think I've ever personally known anyone who actually "came out" on National Coming Out Day, though I remember a few celebs doing it. For me, there was never a declaration to the world that I was gay, just sort of a gradual process of more and more people finding out about it.

"A Single Man" and actors' accents in films
So, I just watched the movie A Single Man (on blu-ray). It's quite an unusual film, but historically significant in a gay man's perceptions of 1962. There was also a lovely flashback to 1946.
What is funny is that there was a discussion in one of the groups in which I participate, about bad accents in movies (all brought on by "talk like a pirate ( Read more... ) -
Mini rant about review sites
I’m not going to name names here, but what’s with review sites of late? Is it just me or are other publishers and authors feeling like it’s easier to squeeze blood from a turnip than get a review site to review a book? With our latest release, we sent out review requests to dozens of review sites. The majority of them completely ignored the request ( Read more... )
