GayRomLit— or as some refer to it as GRL— truly is the must-attend event for
people who create and celebrate LGBT romance. For those who are unfamiliar with
what GRL is I can try and summarize it. Every year in October (this year it’s
the 17th to the 20th with pre-events on the 16th)
the LGBT community consisting of authors, narrators, readers, and professionals
gather to share in their love of LGBT romance. There are signings, author
lounges, many events, spotlights, it really is hours of fun.
The location
changes every year and on the opening night of each year the spot for the next
year is announced. During this time at
GRL there are two signings. One for Registered Authors and one for Featured
Authors.
At these
signings you can go to the authors’ tables, talk, have them sign swag they
have, books you’ve brought, pick up pre-orders, and they will even sign
something you brought from home.
Lounges are
set up as well these are outside the signing times. Registered authors have one
and featured have two lounges.
There will
also be spotlights with readings, Q&A’s and so much more.
Now until
October 14th Diverse Reader is spotlighting authors that will be at
this years GRL. And if you want to know more about it simply head over to the

Now for our
Spotlight Author of the day!
Hi everyone! I’m Morgan Brice (and
Gail Z. Martin). I’m thrilled to be returning to GRL as a Featured Author, and
so excited to see everyone again!
As Morgan Brice, I write urban fantasy
MM paranormal romance with lots of spooky chills and sexy thrills. As Gail Z.
Martin, I write epic fantasy, urban fantasy and steampunk—satisfying
supernatural suspense. All of my urban fantasy series (as Morgan or Gail) have
crossovers, so the characters know each other and show up in each other’s
books!
This is only my second time at GRL, so
there are a lot of folks I haven’t met yet, but I’m looking forward to getting
to know new people and meeting up with the readers and authors I met last year.
I’m easy to find—I’ll be wearing an insanely sparkly pink scarf! And if you’re
like me and a little nervous about finding people on the first night, I’m
coordinating the Early Bird Gathering at the main hotel bar on Tuesday night
after 8 pm. I’ll have special early bird swag, too, so find me and ask for
some! I’m also a HUGE fan of the TV show Supernatural, so like last year, I’ll
be hosting a get-together for Supernatural fans with SPN swag, trivia
questions, and a very special drawing/giveaway. I’ll pick a time once the
schedule is finalized and announce it on the GRL Facebook page. Oh, and I also
give ‘mom hugs’, so if you need a hug, just ask!
I’ll be signing with the Featured
Authors on Saturday from 10 am - noon. You can find my Author Spotlight on
Friday from 2:30-3:20. My Author Lounge times are Thursday from 4-4:45 and
Friday from 4-4:45 I’ll have a raffle basket full of cool stuff for one lucky
winner, so be sure to come by my table for a chance to win!
Here’s a quick look at the three
Morgan Brice series I’ll have with me at GRL.
Witchbane: Seth Tanner uncovers a
cycle of ritual killings that feeds the power of a dark warlock, and he's hell
bent on stopping Jackson Malone from becoming the next victim. He's used to
risking his neck. He never intended to risk his heart. (Books in the series so
far are Witchbane, Burn, Dark Rivers, Flame and Ash) Here’s the Kindle link for
Witchbane: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Y6L9JZ
Badlands: Psychic medium Simon
Kincaide runs a boardwalk shop where he leads ghost tours & does seances
and private psychic readings. But when jaded cop Vic D'Amato asks for his help
on a case, Simon can't say no, even if it costs him his life and heart. (Books
in the series so far are Badlands, Lucky Town, The Rising) Here’s the Kindle
link for Badlands: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F25ZM1S
Treasure Trail: (First in the series)
Erik Mitchell traveled the world uncovering art fraud and relic theft, but a
sting goes wrong and Erik decides to buy an antique shop in scenic Cape May,
NJ, rebuild his life, and nurse his broken heart. Undercover Newark cop Ben
Nolan went down in a hail of bullets when a bust went sideways and heads to
Cape May to reinvent himself. When a missing antique from a cursed hotel
plunges Ben and Erik into danger, it’s clear someone wants secrets to stay
buried—and is willing to add Ben and Erik to the death toll to keep the past
hidden. Here’s the Kindle link for Treasure Trail: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJLJDL5
I’ll also have limited copies of the
Gail Z. Martin books that crossover with my Morgan Brice series, including
Deadly Curiosities, Vendetta, Tangled Web, Inheritance, Sons of Darkness, and
Spells Salt & Steel.
What’s new? Flame and Ash (in the
Witchbane series) and Treasure Trail are my newest Morgan Brice books, and
Inheritance is the newest Gail Z. Martin book.
If you want to make sure I bring
signed copies for you, here’s the link to my GRL Pre-Order form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1acbekYlrHSOgKXkh2BPM0bV2pcflUAVlGda28XbIDYQ
