False Colors has won the Rainbow Awards popularity contest in its category (Historical Fiction) And it’s also been selected as a Jury’s Choice book to go on to the next (and I believe final) round, where the winners of each category, and the Jury Choice selections compete against each other to produce one single overall…
And it’s a good one 🙂 More than that, it’s a good review from Victor Banis, who is one of the founders of the gay romance genre, a legend in his own lifetime, and a real gentleman. Hurray! From Examiner.com I finished Alex Beecroft’s Blessed Isle (set in 1790, the British Age of Sail) convinced…

Happy Birthday! Along with Tolkien, you are one of the only two people to speak a language for which I require no dictionary and no translation: a language that seems to me to pass straight beyond words and go straight through to truth. If I could live in a book, it would be a toss-up…
G.K Chesterton knew a thing or two about the great opening line. How about this, from “The Napoleon of Notting Hill.” The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children’s games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the…
The Prop Hate gang are trying to repeal Main’s marriage rights laws with a very similar campaign. Same old, same old… fear and hate.
