Today, Terry Poole – “I write MM (or Gay) Suspense and Paranormal Romances and live between the two massive lakes that bisect central Canada. I’ve always written in one form or another.

When I’m not writing (which isn’t often), I’ll be crocheting, making handmade soap or hanging out on Facebook.” Thanks … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Amazon Bestsellers and The Long Game

Amazon Bestseller - Morgan

Hey all, This last month, I’ve hit the top of the Amazon charts not once, not twice, but three times. My friends and family have taken notice, and many have contacted me to express their congratulations. It’s an awesome thing to claim the title of Amazon Bestselling Author. But if you scratch the surface, it’s not quite as glamorous as it seems. Amazon books have thousands of categories. There are really big ones, like the overall Romance category, or other general genre ones like Paranormal, Fantasy, and Sci Fi. There are smaller ones, like Gay Romance. Then there are the … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Normalandia

Scott

Hey all, As I was thinking about what to write this week, it struck me that I am living in two very different worlds simultaneously. Bizzaro World and Normalandia. In Normalandia, life proceeds as usual. I wake up each morning, get some writing done, and get to work. Mark and I have breakfast together, work some more, and play a card game at lunch. In the evening, we binge-watch some shows on our Roku box, and then get to bed around ten o’clock. In Normalandia, the sun shines brightly outside, the sprinklers come one at 5 AM, the mailman brings … Read more
