Dark Tales of Ruin, Romance and Redemption

April 20, 2015 By Brandon 4 Comments

Do you like dark tales with a bit of romance tossed in? Then this series might just be for you. 

gay fictionA gripping  saga about twin brothers, the men they love, and the enduring truth that true love never dies — no matter how many times you kill it.

Thierry d’Arjou has but one escape from the daily misery of his work at a medieval abattoir — Etienne de Balthas. But keeping their love a secret triggers a bloody chain of events that condemns Thierry to a monstrous immortality. Thierry quickly learns that to survive his timeless exile, he must hide his sensitive heart from the man who both eases and ensures his loneliness…his twin brother.

Shaped by the fists of a brutal father, Olivier d’Arjou cares for only two things: his own pleasure and his twin. But their sadistic path through centuries is littered with old rivals and new foes, and Olivier must fight for what is rightfully his – Thierry, made immortal for him alone.

April 16, 2015 By Brandon 2 Comments

Friend and author, Andrew Q. Gordon has a new book out in his Champion of the Gods series, and it looks GOOD. Check it out below, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway on the bottom of the post. ~B.

gay fantasy novelBlurb:

After defeating Meglar at Belsport, Farrell returns to Haven to recover from his injuries, but Khron, the god of war, has other ideas. He gives Farrell a new mission: free the survivors of the ancient dwarf realm of Trellham from their three-thousand-year banishment. To fulfill Khron’s near impossible task, Farrell will need the help of his distance ancestor, the legendary wizard Kel. But Kel has been dead for a thousand years.

Farrell finds information hinting that Kel is alive, so he moves his search to Dumbarten, Kel’s birthplace. To reach Dumbarten unannounced, Farrell and Miceral disguise themselves as mercenaries on board a merchant vessel. Their journey is disrupted when pirates attack their ship. While attempting to subdue the attack, Farrell is struck down by one of Meglar’s minions. [Read more…] about Andrew Q Gordon’s The Eye and the Arm – #Fantasy

Dear Henry… Gay Humor on stage in NYC

April 12, 2015 By Brandon Leave a Comment

Friend, author, and playwright Arthur Wooten has a new play hitting the stage in NYC and you won’t want to miss it if you happen to be in the Big Apple on Monday April 27, Sunday May 3, or Saturday, May 9. 

dear henry playbillBrandon: This is a one-man show, is that correct?

Arthur: Yes. It stars the highly accomplished Luke Doyle and revolves around a man writing letters to his boyfriend Henry, who is regaling the numerous and crazy shenanigans (both sexual and non) the two have gotten into during their relationship.

Brandon: How did you come up with this?

Arthur: In 2008 & 2009 I was the humorist for the London-based Magazine reFRESH. I wrote this as a column. reFRESH readers fell in love it and couldn’t wait for the next installment. Soon I had Brits (both gay and straight) waiting to see what the two would get into next. That column became the jumping off point for the show.

mm romance, gay romance3 Chicks After Dark gives 5 Bad Ass Stilettos to Episode 5 of the Love of Wicked Men

“Heart-pounding action in this episode of The Love of Wicked Men! The twists and turns keep on as well as the deceit. It’s hard to know who is being played and what side people are on. If you love the thrill of suspense and the intrigue of a well-played game of corporate greed, this series won’t disappoint.

There’s so much going on in this episode, a true thriller from the first to the last page. With all the surprises and reveals, I can’t wait to see how it all wraps up in the next and final episode.”
