I Write Romance Fiction
Filmmaker Laurie Kahn says that, "in the three to four years in which she worked on the film, “There’s been a revolution in publishing, and it has upended everything. It used to be that the power was completely in the hands of the publishers, and authors were like hitchhikers waiting by the side of the road, hoping some agent would
Kahn explores the much-derided romance genre in a documentary film she's just finished. When talking about GLBT romances, the article says, "books [are] placed in the 'cultural studies' section of major bookstores—the likely assumption on the part of retailers being that LGBT romance is too niche for general fiction. In other words, if you’re a run-of-the-mill heterosexual romance novel, you’re the subject of cheap ridicule, and if you’re an LGBT romance novel, you’re perceived as irrelevant outside the realm of esoteric academic study."
Fortunately, the electronic revolution has occurred and the romance genre is flourishing even more, and it's possible for anyone interested in reading about love and relationships to find a book easily and quickly.
For a novella which doesn't feature sex, I recommend my own "What's in a Name?" C'mon, now, you're not surprised I'd push my own book, are you?

Older Men Rock
K. C. Burns' Rainbow Blues is a particularly wonderful example of this. Here's a bit of my review which went live today at The Romance Reviews:
Love between two mature men who are ready and willing to settle down isn't all fireworks and grand displays, but rather gentle like the purr of a cat. Or so implies K.C. Burn in this thoughtful romance that explores the attraction of two dissimilar, but intriguing men.
At 43, construction foreman Luke Jordan has been divorced two years, having been a faithful, hard-working, but closeted husband since his wife got pregnant in high school and he felt obligated to marry her. While he's had a few gay flings during his married years, Luke is a pretty laid-back homebody who doesn't make friends easily and doesn't know how to find a companion now that he's free.
For Christmas, his 24-year-old college senior son Zack gives Luke a membership to Rainbow Blues, a very loose organization of gay blue-collar workers, and urges his dad to go to their events. Luke agrees and goes to a play where he spies romantic lead Jimmy Alexander and is immediately attracted to him. When he shyly meets the 38-year-old amateur actor after the production and takes him out, he learns that Jimmy's day job is high school science teacher.
Through a series of dates, the even-keeled Luke and high-strung Jimmy realize they love each other and are perfect for one another. Sure, they have bumps in the road--Zack originally fears Jimmy's a gold-digger looking for a sugar daddy and warns his father, for example. But the primary ingredient in this enjoyable romance is the wisdom of maturity.

Bear, Otter, and the Kid Redux
Klune suffers from overwriting, but a little of that can be almost charming. Unfortunately, too much of it can grate. Not to mention the nearly unforgivable--having Dominic change character in order to give him an autistic son.
Hopefully, Klune's writing will tighten up and his characters will stay true in the next installment of the Bear, Otter, and The Kid story.
In the meantime, here's a snippet of my review of the latest part of the saga, The Art of Breathing by TJ Klune:
The saga of Bear, Otter, and the Kid continues with laughter and tears, this time from the Kid's viewpoint as he grows into manhood and the people around him change.
The Kid, Tyson Thompson, who lives with his brother Bear and Bear's husband Otter in Seafare, Oregon, is ready to graduate from high school at age 15 and is dithering about going off to Dartmouth in New Hampshire for college.
At his graduation party, Tyson, after coming out as gay in his valedictorian speech, spies his best friend Dominic, the love of his life, kissing a woman in a secluded corner. Heartbroken, Tyson goes off to college and refuses to see or speak with Dom during that time.
When he returns from Dartmouth, having been suspended from school and having been diagnosed with panic disorder and having broken free of the addictive drugs he was taking for it, Tyson is stunned to find Dominic divorced and the father of an autistic son.
But Tyson can't dwell on Dom's life for the past four years because he's still trying to get himself together and figure out who he really is. He needs to reconcile his panic disorder, his relationship with his family--including his neglectful mother and younger sister--and his homosexuality.
He's had a short near-relationship with his best friend, bisexual Kori/Corey, with whom he goes to Tucson to meet Kori/Corey's friends. But for the most part, this book is the Kid's coming of age and finding himself in the weird, wacky world of TJ Klune's Seafare.

Inman's Latest Only So-So
One night of reckless behavior not only changes two men's lives but paves the way for them to remold themselves through love in this story based on unbelievable coincidences.
San Diego television weatherman Gordon Stafford is full of himself after winning a local TV award, and in a fit of incredible stupidity, not only is he driving drunk, but he's texting his triumph to all his friends. What results is a car crash killing one of the two people he hits.
Serving his minimal jail time, Gordon gets out on probation a broken man. He's working at a soup kitchen as part of his sentence, and there spies a beautiful short man whom people call Squirt. As broken and dispirited as Gordon is, Squirt trumps him, having forgotten his past including his name. One night as they duck below a bridge abutment, Gordon and Squirt watch as a group of ruffians set a homeless person on fire for sport.
This horrific act unites Gordon and Squirt because they realize together they are safer than alone. On this slim basis, they solidify a friendship and then a loving relationship, growing and prospering because of it. But trouble lurks around the corner when they discover a more troubling connection between them.

Quick, Fun Summer Read
A couple of college seniors on a two-week summer tour of Europe discover that not only do opposites attract, but human kindness and loyalty go a long way to making an immersive romance into a solid base for a potential lasting relationship.
Although Evan Stanton isn't one hundred percent cured after he slipped on steps going to class (which forced him into physical therapy), he still agrees to go abroad because his boyfriend wants to. When Evan gets to the airport with his backpack, he's stunned to receive an email dumping him.
Rather than give up on the trip, the goth Evan guts up and gets on the transatlantic flight where he meets preppy Chris Bale whose cheerful disposition hacks away at Evan's tendency to brood.
This is a cute novella with one very glaring flaw. It's apparent why Evan might be attracted to Chris. Chris is the ray of sunshine Evan needs to keep him going on the trip. When Evan's back is killing him and they have a ways to walk, Chris plies him with questions and silly Jeopardy!-like quizzes to divert his attention.

Quirky Tale of Two Law Enforcement Officers
If you're following her, as I am, then you too might be having trouble deciding which of her three well-written and highly interesting books is the best.
At this point, even though their star ratings are nearly the same, I'm going with Sex & Sourdough just because of the difference between the two men and the descriptions of the Appalachian Trail, descriptions that actually made me want to go hiking!
At any rate, here's an excerpt from my review of her latest book that was posted on The Romance Review this morning:
A.J. Thomas carefully explores the unlikely relationship between two law enforcement officers--one with family ties to an organized crime group that the other's agency is trying to shut down--in this riveting police procedural.
When drug lord Alejandro Munoz visits his gay cousin Ray Delgado, asking him to look into the disappearance of Alejandro's sister Sophie, Ray knows something bigger is up. A police detective, Ray discovers that college computer science major Sophie has stolen a big chunk of Alejandro's ill-gotten gains, money he needs to pay an even bigger drug lord.
As he's trying to figure out where Sophie is and with whom she's staying, Ray runs into federal agent Elliot Belkamp, with whom he had a fling in the previous book, A Casual Weekend Thing. The sparks between them are still flying, and even though they try to resist, they cross paths so often that they end up together much of the time.
While Elliot is out to anyone who asks, Ray, because of his Hispanic background and his family ties to organized crime, is still deeply in the closet and declaring he's straight, not gay. But as he and Elliot often end up having sex, Ray is forced to admit to himself he's bisexual and hope that if his sister, his closest sibling, finds out, she won't abandon him.

Emotionally Satisfying and Incredibly Thought-Provoking
My review of it was posted today, and here's a sneak peek at my All About Romance Desert Isle Keeper review:
Get out your tissues for this incredibly moving and superbly poignant gay romance that explores the lost and found qualities of memory loss on two men in New York City.
When Leith Wenz is dealt an illegal blow to the head during a boxing match and goes into a coma, his lover, friends, and family are devastated. They rejoice, especially lover Zach, when Leith awakes.
The good news is that he'll live. The bad news is that he's can't remember the last three years of his life - three years in which he got out of prison, his father died, and he met and fell in love with Zach.
In fact, he doesn't remember Zach at all.
Told with interludes of Zach's on-going vlog posts, the story is one of grieving. Leith is horrified that so much of who he is has been stripped away. He's lost and terrified that he'll never find his way back to being a whole person again. Fortunately, he has a loyal brother and a good psychologist to help him along the way.
His lover Zach also wants to be supportive, but Leith's memory loss is akin to Leith's death as far as
Zach is concerned. Every time Zach sees him, Zach is hit by how much he's lost, how much they've lost. So in a sense Zach is also grieving, just as Leith is.
For those like me who don't know, the River Lethe in Greek myth is the place in the underworld where the dead drank the water in order to purge the memories of their lives before they crossed the River Styx into the afterlife. The name Zachariah, on the other hand, translates to mean "memory of the Lord.” But before Leith's doctor tells him of the myth and the definition, Leith must rediscover that he's gay and his friend Zach is in fact his lover since all of these revelations came to Leith in the three-year period he's lost.

Reading Challenge for July: Every Time I Think of You
July Challenge: Lovely RITA (past RITA winners or nominees)
Title: Every Time I Think of You
Author: Jim Provenzano
My Rating: 4 stars
Since I'm trying to keep this year's Reading Challenge books
to all gay romances, taking titles from the Rita winners or nominees won't work
for this month's challenge. Maybe
someday, but not this year, alas.
So where would I find award-winning and award-nominated gay
romance books? There are a few good
choices, but my go-to site is the Lambda Literary Awards.
A short recap: From
1989-2001 although Lambda gave awards, none were for romance per se. This year's winner for gay romance is Into This River I Drown by TJ Klune, and although I haven't read it, I decided not
to read it for this challenge.
Instead I chose the 2012 winner, Every Time I Think of You
by Jim Provenzano, which was a self-published work. I'd read the nominated Something Like Summer
by Jay Bell, also self-published, and loved it, so I wanted to see if I would
have chosen Provenzano's book over Bell's.
Now I know why Provenzano won, but I'm not sure if I agree
with the choice. Fortunately, Bell's
Kamikaze Boys, another m/m romance I really enjoyed, won the award in 2013, so
I didn't feel so badly that Bell lost in 2012.
While Provenzano's book is enjoyable after the first few
chapters, it's the beginning chapters that really bothered me the most. In them two boys go into the wooded area
between their two very different neighborhoods in the middle of an Illinois
winter to pull of their clothes and jack off.
They don't know each other, but spy what the other is doing and form a
bond.
Not a bad opening volley, right? It's clever, catches attention, and seems right
enough for two teenage boys. So what's
my gripe? The writing style which is
overblown and pretentious. Not only was
it off-putting considering what was going on in the scene, but I was really
afraid it would be used throughout the book.
I understand that the narrator is supposed to be a nerdy,
word-smith geek, maybe even a precocious kid, but considering that the language
choices and tone don't continue throughout the book, the beginning struck me as
unnecessarily condescending considering that male teens might want to read
this.
But I don't think that is why the book won the Lambda Award,
even though many award-winning literary fiction works begin the same way.
I think the book won because it centers on one character's
unexpected off-scene accident which makes him paraplegic. Although the issue of gay men and paraplegia
isn't really addressed in the book, I think the shock value of a young men in
love romance turning down that path sealed its award.
True, because the book is a first person account from the
boy who isn't injured, delving into the mechanics of how a young man lives and
functions in a wheelchair isn't the focus of the romance. Perhaps that's why Provenzano published the
sequel, Message of Love, this March--in order to flesh out the parts that were
missing in the original story.
No matter what his purpose, even with the quibbles I talk
about here, Every Time I Think of You was a good choice as the Lambda 2012 gay
romance of the year. It took an
established theme in a new direction and did it well.

British Vignette Not Enough for Memorable Story
This slim mundane vignette brings two men together, but doesn't explore any new ground as far as romance is concerned.
Thirty-three year old British lawyer Adam Sibden moves from a modern apartment in Nottingham to the charming, thatched Sage Cottage in the village of Sharpley after Roger, his partner of five years, proves to be a philanderer. When he has car problems, Adam visits a garage owned by Jim, who'd taken over the business from his father.
They get to know one another through visits to the local pub where they often share pints with Jim's pals. One snowy night, however, when Adam has a flat tire and calls Jim, they completely connect and commiserate on their bad luck in finding love up until they found each other.
Because the story is so short (23 pages), neither Adam nor Jim are very developed as characters, and their backstories of having partners and losing them are so typical as to be bland, this novella never becomes even a little bit memorable.

Who Gets to Write Gay Romance? Men or Women or Both?
 |
| Jamie Fessenden |
There's been a lot of discussion lately about whether women authors should write gay romance or not. I'm still trying to figure out why not, seeing as how men and women authors have been writing about both sexes for hundreds of years.
Seems to me that the issue centers on the "romance" part of the question. Are men--or women for that matter--romantically inclined? And what, for heaven's sake, is romance? Really, think about it.
The more romances I read, the less I know what I think romance is. I've been married for 42 years. I like to say that I never thought I'd live for 42 years given my rambunctious past, nor that I would be married to the same person for that length of time. But here I am. Here we are.
 |
| Lloyd Meeker |
Gay romance author Jamie Fessenden's blog statement, "My Take on Women Writing MM Romance," starts the discussion (despite the lack of the talked about slash mark: M/M).
Following that is gay romance author Lloyd Meeker's response, "About Who Writes MM Romance," also bereft of slash.
By the way, I only bring up the slash mark because often discussions refer to it when commentators talk about the origins of gay romance.
I don't usually seek comments and won't with this post. However, I do encourage those with strong opinions to comment on both Jamie's and Lloyd's sites.
Let freedom ring!

Recovering the Hard Way
Here's the first few paragraphs of my review that was posted today at The Romance Reviews:
When the only real mother he's ever known is diagnosed with terminal cancer, a former bad boy, now a rising photographer, meets the challenge with love and art.
Jamie Carlson, last seen in Riley's Salvage, has turned his life around after joining Alcoholics Anonymous and being given Alec Bailey as his sponsor. Bailey brings with him his wife Belle, who has given Jamie what he's always missed: a mother.
When Belle is diagnosed with cancer, she asks Jamie, now a rising photographer, to record the family's last years. This is difficult on many levels for Jamie, particularly as he's still struggling with sobriety and watching her dwindle away makes him crave the blackouts alcohol provides.
Into his life comes successful businessman Daniel Priest, twenty years his senior, who's newly divorced after deciding to stop living a lie and embrace the fact that he's gay. As he watches Jamie struggle with Belle's decline, Daniel provides part of the support the younger man needs to fulfill his promise to Belle.
A source of irritation, however, is Alec and Belle's son, a children's book author, who has resented Jamie since his parents informally adopted him and who hates his once-alcoholic father for his past neglect of the family.
When I first started reading the book, I thought that Jamie and the children's book author were going to be the ones to hook up since they started out sniping at one another, but seemed to have a solid bond. I discounted Daniel, not because of his age, but because he seemed to be exploring his new life as a gay man. Even though he kept saying that he'd had his flings while he was married, Daniel struck me as someone who was ready to play rather than settle down again.

Disappointing Modernization of Pride & Prejudice
I'm fascinated by contemporary takes on the classic Pride and Prejudice novel, especially those that don't feel obligated to stick chapter by chapter to the book. For this reason, I was excited when I saw a gay romance version. If the classic could be changed to include sci-fi elements, why not an m/m take on it?
Closeted Pennsylvania college student Liam Bennett is happy for his brother Jamie, who's been hired by the Bingley Corporation after grad student Charlie Bingley worked with Jamie doing some computer coding. Charlie and his partner William Darcy are co-owners of Nerve, a highly profitable multimedia social networking site.
When Liam and Jamie attend a gala at the Oakham Mount University campus' Netherfield House, Liam is woefully and defiantly underdressed in a polo shirt and hoodie amid the other black tie guests. He gets to see first-hand Jamie's attraction to Charlie, an attraction which seems reciprocated.
Liam also gets to meet the aloof and disagreeable Will who cold-shoulders him. When Liam does an Internet search on Will, he finds that the 23-year-old's residence is Pemberley estate in Derbyshire, England. Liam also finds a number of paparazzi photos of Will and Violet de Bourgh, a British starlet and heiress.
Although Jamie is easy to get along with and liked by everyone, Liam is much too confrontational and bitingly clever to have many friends. His closest is Charlotte who's been his best friend since childhood and with whom he shares an off-campus apartment.
After running into Will a few times, Liam meets musician George Wickham whose band has just kicked him out and who is looking for a new gig. Liam and George become friends, with the wily George spiriting away one of Liam's younger brothers ostensibly to teach the teen how to play the guitar.

Hockey Vs. Ice Skater: Who's More Manly?
That's why Teegan Loy's Picks & Pucks intrigued me. Here's an excerpt from the review that was posted today at The Romance Reviews:
If an ice skater is equally talented as both a hockey player and figure skater, is it less manly to hone his figure skating skills? Teegan Loy's romance lands solidly on the line, declaring that both figure and hockey skating demand strength and precision.
The author also tackles the question of image as figure skater Justin Corrin works to become a member of the United States Olympic team while coming out as a gay man. Justin's been in a closeted relationship with his friend Danny, a hockey player.
Danny's a real piece of work, acting hot and heavy when he's with Justin behind closed doors and making fun of Justin in front of the hockey team.
This all changes when Justin throws over Danny after he meets C. J. Daly, a new hockey player on the team that Justin's father coaches. While Justin and C. J. immediately click, Justin realizes right away that something isn't right with C. J., a fact corroborated by others who know him.
Since Justin hasn't really talked to his father after he reacted badly to Justin's coming out, Justin leaves C. J. alone, not demanding that he talk about his troubled past. Besides, Justin has demons of his own.

Another Winner from Josephine Myles
But, no, that wasn't the book Janene meant since my review hadn't been posted at All About Romance yet. Here's an excerpt from my review that was posted today. (Janene, I'm telling you you'll love this book!)
Stuff, The second Bristol Collection novel after Junk, celebrates the artfully quirky as an ultra-outgoing optimistic British commoner and an upper-class recluse find love over an odd collection of stuff.
When Tobias “Mas” Maslin ducks into Perry Cavendish-Fiennes' Cabbages and Kinks hodgepodge emporium in order to elude a another store's security guard bent on capturing him, Mas is immediately struck by the racks of vintage clothes and other intriguing artifacts.
Perry, who has inherited the store from an aunt and must keep it open for a year in order to get his inheritance, has a more proprietary air about his inventory; for example, he shuns price tags because they mar the items.
The jobless Mas strikes a deal with Perry: If he can organize the shop and make a profit on the stuff for sale, he can have room, board, and a share of the profit. Reluctantly Perry agrees, mostly because Perry would rather spend time creating his art than running the shop.
Each man in his own way is delightfully fanciful. Mas is the irrepressibly out-and-proud gay man who luxuriates in his joie de vivre. He loves sex and sexual innuendo, irrepressibly tossing suggestive bon mots into his conversation like so much confetti.
The much more conservative-looking Perry sparkles through his metal sculptures - strange, often mechanical, animals and hanging fairies. His assemblages are part steampunk and part Day of the Dead, using skulls and vintage metal bits and pieces as fodder for their exoskeletons.
At first Perry is suspicious of the sprightly, boastful Mas, but soon learns that while Mas is a British P. T. Barnum, he's also a hard, determined worker. Soon the slender, shorter Mas has organized the bits and pieces in Perry's shop and is planning an open house event to announce the new, improved Cabbages and Kinks to Bristol.

Delightful Bartender and Rock Star Combo
A world-famous rock star walks into a bar in the middle of nowhere one night might sound like the beginning of a joke, but this lively and often laugh-out-loud romance is no joke, but a wonderfully delightful story.
Jeremy Jameson, often called The Jeremy Jameson by his manager, eludes his entourage and keepers one night and happens on Reg Moore, a bartender with a heart of gold and an easy-going manner that immediately seduces Jeremy.
When Jeremy asks Reg to become his pretend boyfriend and accompany him on his upcoming world tour, Reg, who's always wanted to travel, jumps at the chance. Jeremy is beautiful and charismatic, and traveling with the rock star will certainly be no hardship.
Jeremy, however, turns out to be a prima donna, someone born with a golden spoon encrusted with diamonds. It's no wonder Jeremy's so hard to deal with for everyone but Reg because Jeremy's father, a former rock star, died of a drug overdose and his mother is an aging diva bedding men years younger than she is.
Undaunted Reg is just the right kind of laid back to calm Jeremy during his rants and smother the star in understanding and love, two ingredients missing in his chaotic life. At times they play off one another like Laurel and Hardy, their verbal interaction almost becoming a comedy routine.

No Flowers with This Ink
A shy Chinese art student is propositioned by a burly tattoo artist, but the seduction that the student expects doesn't go the way he envisions.
When Luke is about to be kicked out of his apartment, Cooper, a stranger who buys flowers every Friday at the shop where Luke works, says he will give Luke room and board if the young man will have sex with him. Since Luke's Chinese aunts have been micromanaging his life and he's been trying to break away for years, he accepts the offer even though he's never had sex with a man before.
Life with the big and bold Cooper isn't quite what he expected, just as the man himself isn't either. For one thing, while Cooper propositioned him in the flower shop, the man backs off once Luke moves in and gets settled. In fact, Cooper also pays Luke's back rent before moving his things and then defends Luke when the aunts track him down and try to browbeat him into moving back home.
As they live together, Luke begins to suspect that Cooper has hidden demons that plague him, but Luke is too shy to ask what bothers the man or how he can help him.
Besides a plot that takes quite a bit of suspension of disbelief to buy into, the book suffers from Luke who should be the sympathetic character. Because of his shy, introverted nature and self-deprecation, Luke is more to be pitied than championed. His fear of Cooper, whose bumbling, almost juvenile, attempts to attract Luke are often laughable, doesn't make sense. Even from the outset, readers know that Cooper is just trying to help Luke, not rape him.

More about Jed and Max
This very short sequel to Only Love cements the relationship between Jed Cooper and Max O'Dair and gives a tiny glimpse into their future life.
In the previous book, Jed returned home to live with his brother, sister-in-law, and nieces only to find that he needed much more peace and quiet than their chaotic household provided. Consequently, Jed moved to the countryside with his sister-in-law's brother Max, an epileptic whose service dog Flo rules the roost.
At the end of the book, Jed's stomach condition, a result of his military service, became critical and he underwent successful surgery to cure it.
This novella opens with Jed recuperating after the surgery and wondering what he is going to do with the rest of his life, the civilian years he hasn't planned. Fortunately, Jed has accumulated marketable skills during his military career, the most practical being his fluency in foreign languages.

San Francisco, an Art Gallery Assistant, a Photographer, and Love
An art gallery assistant and an annoying but popular photographer butt heads in this cross-cultural romp.
San Francisco art school graduate James wants to become a curator someday and knows the bottom rungs to the ladder start in private galleries as assistants. So he's at the Melissa Anderten Gallery (not Anderson as he keeps telling patrons) getting the experience he needs before moving on.
Although his jobs, from billing to making coffee, are often tedious, he's able to cope fairly well, except when he must deal with the wildly popular photographer Turkish whose work James thinks has peaked and whose pieces were somewhat derivative anyway.
Lately, however, Turkish has been acting even odder than ever as James puts together the photographer's new opening. Turkish has changed the title of one of his pictures after the brochure has been printed and now wants different, more expensive frames on a few pieces.
Since Melissa has put James in charge of hanging the show, James realizes this is his big chance to show his capabilities, but every time he's around Turkish, the man seems to be thwarting him.
