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

This will be my second year
attending GRL and my first year as a Featured Author. With events like this you
can’t really anticipate what’s going to happen. I just hoped to see some new
and old faces. Inside and outside the scheduled events, everyone is welcome to
come and say hi. I really have no expectations, but just as I did last year I’m
bring my message of Body Positivity/Diversity with me. At the end of the day
that’s what my stories are about – acceptance.
I look forward to another great
year.
Waited So Long

By Way of Pain
(Criminal Delights – Assassins)
Double lives were just the way it
was for a man like me. By day I was a man with a reputation above reproach.
Even assassins needed backup plans. For fifteen years, life was going without a
hitch until I had to take out a witness. When it was time to kill him,
beautiful eyes filled with fear urged me to do something else. Yet, in order to
do that, I had to break him, and by way of pain, my captive would experience
pleasure he'd never dreamed.
This book is part of CRIMINAL DELIGHTS. Each novel can be read as a standalone and contains a dark M/M romance.

Pure (Trenton
Security Book 4)
Innocence wasn’t a personality
flaw.
Nicolas “Pure” Warner lived with the curse of a cute face and a terminal blush. He was waiting for his happily ever after. Yet he’d given up on finding his one. His partner and spotter wasn’t the type to settle down but he’d always been drawn to the other man. Pure decided he could live with that, but when powers outside their control took Raul away, Pure would stop at nothing to get Raul back even if that meant leaving the Trenton Security team behind.
Touching the sun only left you burned.
Raul Martinez was a brutal fighter. He’d worked freelance for several years at Trenton Security. There was one dark spot to the perfect job: Pure. The man was sweet and looking for forever. How did the damaged and unworthy ever hope to touch the sun without getting burned? And touching Pure would be a dream come true. When Pure endangers his freedom to save him, how could Raul convince his boy that letting him go was the only option?
