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!
Last year’s GRL was my first real introduction to this community.
I loved getting to meet readers in person and forging lasting friendships with
other authors. Portsmouth was also my first time meeting my coauthor in person.
We’ll have five books out this year, and I don’t think that would’ve happened
without the spark we found at GRL.
This is my first year as a featured author . . . which means
I get to do a reading from one of my books. Sounds like fun! Who’s terrified of
public speaking? Not me, surely.
Please come watch me as I try not to trip over my tongue.
Feel free to bring popcorn, since it’s bound to be fun no matter how I do. I’ll
be reading from my newest release, The King’s Dragon, so if you’re into sky
lizards, love when they get their HEAs, and really wish Anne Boleyn had been
able to breathe fire, this is the reading for you!

Wolf Lost, to be released on Amazon/KU September 5th
An omega on the run.
An alpha fractured.
Sawyer Holt can’t go home. The Alpha who has replaced his
father wants to use him as a tool to cement his political power, and Sawyer
isn’t interested in marrying his father’s murderer.
Dez Sullivan’s leg may never heal from his last mission in
Afghanistan, but he’s getting used to that. What he can’t adapt to are the
nightmares and the tremor in his hand that the doctors insist is all in his
head. Next to that, being a brand new werewolf seems easy, until Sawyer Holt
blows into his life. The omega activates his burgeoning wolf instincts in a new
way, and they threaten to overwhelm his common sense.
Both men are in Colorado searching for a new start, a new
pack, and the safety they’ve lost. Their meeting is pure Kismet.
Prince of Death
Gifted power over life and death, Lysandros has spent
millennia in the underworld, listless and alone. The youngest child of Hades
and Persephone, he’s been sheltered from the threats in the world above.
Theo Ward hasn’t been so lucky. After watching his mother
wither away, he’d do almost anything to have her back. When a messenger appears
at the Banneker College of Magic and offers the young professor a chance to
save her, Theo can’t pass it up, even if it means going straight into the
underworld and dragging her home. But Theo gets more than he bargained for when
he crosses paths with the prince of Hades.
Set against the king of Olympus, they must shed their past
burdens and learn to trust in each other, so they can face down a storm that
threatens to wipe the nation’s capital off the map.
Blackbird in the Reeds
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Not this redhead.
Devon Murphy has never believed that there were fairies at
the bottom of the garden, but when he’s in an accident on his way to his
grandmother’s house and comes face to face with the biggest, baddest wolf he’s
ever seen, he’s forced to reconsider.
When his grandmother asks him to look into a string of suspicious accidents, he finds a much bigger mystery to unravel. From his childhood best friend to the too-attractive Deputy Wade Hunter, everyone in Rowan Harbor seems to have something to hide. Devon has to get to the bottom of it all before the accidents turn deadly.

Blackbird in the Reeds is the first in a nine-book series
that must be read in order to make sense. It follows three couples and a large
supporting cast across a major, life changing series of events in their town.
