FREE E-BOOK
 If you’re interested in a receiving a PDF version of my novel, King of Cats, about a closeted gay rock musician living on New York’s Lower East Side, just drop me a line with your e-mail address (blake@blakefraina.com). Please note this is NOT an EPUB file so it is not compatible with digital reading devices. And be warned, KoC is not your typical self-published HEA M/M romance novel. It’s pretty heavy and downbeat. But hey…it’s free! Why not give it a shot? It would be great to get feedback or a review. | | Saturday, March 12th, 2011 | 4:07 pm

"A Hundred Little Lies" by Jon Wilson
 Greetings, everyone. I’d like to tell you all about a new, very humorous historical novel entitled A Hundred Little Lies by Jon Wilson. It’s about a gay shopkeeper in the sleepy little town of Bodey Colorado who is raising his rambunctious 8-year-old daughter and trying to keep his colorful past a secret. Victor J. Banis has graciously given the book his endorsement: “Charming, witty, and intensely romantic, this is an outstanding debut novel from a writer to be watched.”

Chance, who runs the cool podcast, Fanboys of the Universe, wanted to cover something appropriate for a gay old time this Halloween, and I was the lucky fellow he interviewed last night. I listened to it this morning and thought, wow, I sound so... well, Jewish!. Ironically, I made sure to receive his phone call via a land-line (in the hope my voice would be clearer). I took the call at my parent's apartment in the Jewish senior citizen complex. So, should I blame the environment or just fess up to my mannerisms have come to resemble my father more and more. Anyway, he asked some fun questions. I don't think I rambled too much. It was a flattering experience. Here's the interview. | | Sunday, October 19th, 2008 | 7:13 pm

Before I Lose My Style by Mike Kaspar
X POST  I read a lot. Much of what I read are LGBT novels. Some of it is downright dreadful, but since I’m selective I tend enjoy most of what I choose, but every now and then I stumble across something that’s just so special that I’m compelled to share. The last time I was this excited about something was Ginn Hales’s Wicked Gentlemen. My latest love object is entirely different, but no less enchanting. Behind the cut is my review of Mike Kaspar’s debut novel, Before I Lose My Style. If you’re looking for something funny, warm and well written, with a host of fascinating characters, you should definitely check this one out: ( Before I Lose My Style Review )ETA: link to publisher's website here: http://spunkybooks.com/ | | Sunday, October 12th, 2008 | 6:55 pm

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez
Dirty Girls On Top by Alisa Valdes-RodriguezI read her first book, The Dirty Girls Social Club last year and LOVED it. The characters were so different, so deep but the book was also really fun. I didn't even know that she had another book coming out until I saw Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez Comes Out online. CRAZY. She does have a lot of lesbian and bisexual women in her books so I guess it makes sense. The article (above) links to a free audio download of the first chapter of the new book. Pretty great. Sexy voice. I'm going to download the book. :-) | | Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 | 5:59 pm

An introduction
Hello there, I'm a newbie and writing to say hello and offer a brief introduction. I just rejoined liverjournal, and my inner (and outer) geek is revelling. So I'm Holly, I'm nearly 20, I'm a second year student of languages at the University of Birmingham (UK), and I'm also chair of the LGBTQ Association - student group within my university. My interests are queer everything, and everything to do with words. I'm also currently setting up a book group in the association which will be running from September, for which I have been absorbing myself in queer literature over the past months. My favourite novels include Rita Mae Brown' "Rubyfruit Jungle", Jane Rule's "Desert of the Heart", Forster's "Maurice", Alan Hollinghurst "The Line of Beauty", and the works of Jeanette Winterson. Though there's still a lot of stuff I've yet to read! I look forward to the forthcoming interesting discussions. :) Current Mood: geeky | | Friday, July 25th, 2008 | 4:10 pm

Introduction
Hi All! I'm Caitlin, 18, going to be a freshman in college. I joined this community because I love to write. I've written two full-length novels so far, and the second is a Young Adult fiction piece entitled "Different Flavors". Among other things, it deals with some GLBTQ teens and their challenges, triumphs and first forays into romance. "DF" is also slated to have a sequel, which I'm working on now. I'm not published or anything, but in my dreams, I will be. :-) No, seriously...I want to try and get my books published one day, after a lot more editing. I was inspired to write the "DF" series (I may have it be a trilogy) because I think that there need to be more books out there for GLBTQ youth. As one of my gay friends puts it, "I'm so sick of straight love permeating the bookshelves!" :-) Some of my favorite Queer Lit books are those by Alex Sanchez and Julie Anne Peters. I also love the "Am I Blue" collection and "Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys". I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and joining in on book club discussions! Cheers, Caitlin | | Thursday, July 17th, 2008 | 4:40 pm

mainstream ficiton with gay characters
Hello everybody! I'm very much looking forward to your replies, as I'm somewhat lost... I'm thinking of writing a PhD on homosexuality in Russian translations of Anglophone literature, and I thought it would be interesting to look at well-known novels and short stories which are not primarily aimed a gay audience -- those which even a potentially slightly homophobic reader might pick up, and whose translators rarely pay special attention to the topic (thus often revealing their attitudes). Something like "The Hours" (as opposed to, say, "The Swimming Pool Library"). Let's brainstorm some titels together, please! | | Saturday, July 5th, 2008 | 1:06 am

the pathology of hate
George Rostov's blog has once again pitched its tent upon Hampsted Heath and is now open for business - at a special discounted rate for octagenarian transexuals.
Consider his blog an experiment....to see how far one man can confront the blackness sheltering in his mind....to watch one fragile, deluded man drive himself to the edge of the abyss...to listen to one drug-addled ex-rentboy scream in anger at everything and everyone....to be disgusted at one cross-dressing alcoholic's self-destructive journey into a twilight world of gay saunas, cruising grounds, toilets, sex cinemas, and an addict's hell of cold turkey.
Consider his blog an aberration....of everything that is decent turning to depravity, of virtue raped and debased, of sanity, love and compassion sacrificed in Rostov's mission to replace God with rage, violence and his own philosophy of murder and vice.
Rimbaud -
De Sade -
Burroughs -
They only went so far....Rostov is going all the way.
This is the pathology of hate. v | | Monday, June 23rd, 2008 | 8:58 pm
