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

Very excited to be
returning to GRL for my fourth time, and second as an author (I want you to
know I am totally not writing this at 9pm the night before, not at all).
Regardless of my
unacknowledged procrastination I am SO looking forward to connecting with
established readers and (fingers crossed) meeting new readers who love small
town romantic suspense with a dash of...whatever I come up with.
Highway to Elle news:
There will be a few more installations in the Accidental Roots series
and of course many more in the spin-off, Never Too Late. In case you
missed it Trusting the Elements released on audio yesterday! Narrator
Steve Balderson did a great job with Otto and Greg, he is excited to continue
the series and so am I.
For those of you
looking for a suspense series which follows the trials of a single (very
uncooperative) couple, Conspiracy Theory (Hamarsson & Dempsey #1) releases
10.7, while it is set here in the Pacific Northwest it is not a part of
Accidental Roots or Never Too Late.
Friday morning (10.18)
join Lynn Michaels, SJ York and I, as we discuss navigating co-authored work
and anthologies and getting them right for readers. We have fun stuff planned
for the panel!
Anyway, I'm babbling
and just so excited to be seeing everyone in Albuquerque in only a little over
two weeks, please don't feel shy about saying hi quickly or just sitting
and chatting with me, I love meeting people!
Cheers!
Elle
I have three series. One that is mostly finished, a second

LOVE AND DANGER IN A SMALL TOWN...

AT A TIME.

--An Accidental Roots
Holiday
Trusting the Elements,
Never Too Late book 1 (also out in audio!)
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A
NEAR DEATH CAR ACCIDENT TO OPEN YOUR EYES (not that Otto's dramatic or anything
🤣)
Otto Proulx decides
surviving his quasi brush with death was a sign; he’s being given a second
chance to claim the life he wants to live. One night of passion leads
to…several more and suddenly both men are searching around to define what they
have together. Neither wants to scare the other off and neither wants to ask
for more. Will the two men be able to set aside their fears and create a family
together, trusting the elements are in their favor?
Conspiracy Theory,
Hamarsson & Dempsey #1, pubs 10/7 (cover by Garrett Leigh) - keep your eyes
out for this one!
Years of grueling police
work have left Niall Hamarsson jaded and
disillusioned with
life…although it’s likely he’s been that way all along. The last straw lands
when the DA refuses to try a case Niall worked for years to bring to justice.
Within hours he finds himself heading to the only place he’s ever been able to
call home—a place he knows he doesn’t belong.
Mat Dempsey returned to
Piedras Island after his father’s death. These days he’s Island County’s
sheriff. He’s happy enough, even if moving home from San Francisco effectively
forced him back into the closet. Mat’s well-ordered universe collapses when a
local’s body is discovered floating in the cold waters of Hidden Harbor’s
marina. All hell breaks loose in the community, and accusations fly…all
coinciding with Niall Hamarsson’s return.
Niall and Mat have a
history, and it’s not one Mat’s proud of. He
owes Niall an apology,
even if it means getting down on his knees. However, Mat’s first priority is
investigating the murder before his community tears itself apart and he may
have to ask the aloof Niall Hamarsson for help.
Push apart, pull
together, yes or no... The chemistry crackles between them but will the two men
be able to put aside their pasts and embrace a future?
Maybe.
Elle Keaton hails from the northwet corner of the US known for,
rain, rain, and more rain. She pens the Accidental Roots series, the Never Too
Late series, and the soon be published Hamarsson and Dempsey series, all set
here in the Pacific Northwest. All Elle's books feature hot mm romance with the
guarantee of an HEA. The men start out broken, and maybe they end up that way
too, but they always find the other half of their hearts.
Elle began publishing March 2017, now she has almost eleven books
out. Fall of 2019 Elle is adding a third series, Hamarsson and Dempsey, also
set in the Pacific Northwest. H&D will focus on a single couple as they
navigate the treacherous waters of romance and police work.
Elle loves both cats and dogs, Star Wars and Star Trek, pineapple
on pizza, and is known to start crossword puzzles with ballpoint pen.
