As inmates begin dying in shocking and sometimes gruesome ways, the […]

The Boy From Brighton by Geoffrey Knight
May 3, 2013
Seven-year-old Charlie thinks he is invincible. He is convinced he has a clock for a heart, which makes it impossible for him to die or feel the sort of heartache his mother always feels every time she and Charlie must flee another abusive loser who doesn’t deserve a woman like Charlie’s mum.

My Roommate’s a Jock? Well, Crap! by Wade Kelly
January 3, 2013
It’s easy to become cynical when life never goes your way. Cole Reid has been a social recluse since he was fifteen, when he was outed by his high school baseball team. Since then, his obsessive-compulsive behavior and sarcastic nature have driven away most of the population, and everyone else hates him because he’s gay. […]
Frat House Troopers by Xavier Mayne
January 1, 2013
State trooper Brandt’s new assignment to infiltrate a sex-cam operation puts him in a very uncomfortable position, especially since he’ll have to perform naked on camera for his audition.

Marguerite Labbe Does the Deed
October 13, 2012
I don’t know about you, but if I read happy things all the time then I get a little cranky. Really, who is happy all the time? I read to escape, I read for entertainment, and I read for the total immersion and emotion of another world. Be it fantasy, paranormal or contemporary, I want […]

Treva Harte does GRL Again

Kerry Freeman is Excited and Terrified
October 11, 2012
Is It GRL Yet? In one week I will be in the midst of my first reader con, and I am excited and terrified in equal measure. I’m terrified because it’s the first time I’ll meet people who have actually read my book! What if everyone figures out that I’m just this huge dork? Cause […]
KC Burn’s Egyptian Adventure
October 9, 2012
I love traveling, I’m fairly obsessed about quite a few places. If I am ever able to get to Ireland then I might just spontaneously combust. It’s so refreshing to hear that other people have similar feelings about seeing all of this planet. Here is KC Burn to talk about her life-long passion for Egypt […]
Vicktor Alexander Knows That Guy!
October 9, 2012
Unless I’m the evil bitch who is lynched in the first 10% of the story, I think it would be very cool to end up as a character in a novel. Most authors pull inspiration from the people and places around them. That could be why some stories just seem so much more “real” even […]
Projecting with Robert Moore
October 9, 2012
Some authors prefer to stick to one genre, telling many stories over their careers. For others, their muse takes them into several different venues. Here is Robert Moore to talk about his multi-genre, multi-platform, multi-inspirational journey. I love the tumble of ideas and the initial impetus for getting a new project up and going. Sometimes […]
Welcome to Boxer Falls
October 6, 2012
Ellis: Boxer Falls started out as a whiskey-soaked mindgasm from Damon Suede last year at GayRomLit New Orleans, a conversation with the mods of the M/M Romance group on Goodreads and a way to generate some cool new free fiction for the group’s many members. Next thing we knew, Damon, Poppy Dennison, and myself (and […]
Hayley B James Spins-Off
October 5, 2012
I’m a big fan of sequels … who wants to say goodbye to characters they love? But they have to make sense; there has to be a reason to stop back by and visit. The characters in a well done series can feel like life long friends. Here is Hayley B James to talk about […]
Angel Martinez’s list of Do’s and Dont’s
October 4, 2012
There are rules for everything. If a thought or activity has been around for more than 30 seconds then there is bound to be a complex set of guidelines to “insure” that no one does it “wrong.” And while most rules help keep life running smoothly, there are some things that can benefit from a […]
Traveling with Kim Fielding
October 2, 2012
I love traveling … would do it all the time if money were no object. I’ve got a dream travel list as long as my arm. There is something about seeing a new place for the first time and imagining what treasures you’ll find around every corner. And some of those places will become much […]
Rhys Ford gets Dirty
October 1, 2012
There are no guarantees when a reader takes a chance on a new author. The phrase “it was good for a first novel” gets thrown around a lot regardless of whether or not the reader actually liked the story. There are a few, however, that debut with such a strong book that the common phrase […]
Simply DC Juris
September 29, 2012
Many great things have come from “progress.” There have been large strides in education, medicine, land development and gadgets …. lots and lots of toys. But with how small the world has gotten, and how “convenient” everything is, have we traded one set of problems for another? Here is DC Juris to talk about taking […]
Fence with EM Lynley
September 28, 2012
I really love it when authors take something uncommon and wrap a whole world around it. I love football stories, but there are a ton of them. Archery, water polo, and of course, fencing. That’s so cool! Here is EM Lynley to talk about her latest novel and her addiction to the Olympics. I Had […]

Gabrielle Evans Keeps Moving Forward
September 18, 2012
The time, energy, and overall organization it takes to complete a novel is astounding to me. Doesn’t matter how brilliant the idea is, or how compelling the grammar and punctuation skills are, or even how riveting the first 20,000 words read … if an author doesn’t follow through until the end, then all the resulting […]
Tara Lain has been Busy!
September 18, 2012

Cleaning House with Viki Lyn
September 18, 2012

A Kiki With Heidi Cullinan
September 11, 2012
There is no telling what could get an entire movement going. One comment could spark a revolution, and one picture could inspire a new generation. Or one song could give people a break, even if it’s only a few minutes. Here is Heidi Cullinan to talk about how one random song she didn’t even like […]
Poppy Dennison is Positive
September 11, 2012
I absolutely loved Poppy Dennison’s debut novel, Mind Magic. Shifters are a favorite theme of mine, and she was able to bring something new to the table. Here she is to talk about her follow up, Body Magic, and how important it is to stay positive. An Omega State of Mind By Poppy Dennison I […]
Geoffrey Knight Asks Why?
September 7, 2012
The concept behind Geoffrey Knight’s new book is something near and dear to the readers in the M/M genre and community. Why Do Straight Women Love Gay Romance? But after being interviewed for this project, individually and as a group, we thought it only fitting to turn the tables on the mastermind. Get to know […]
AC Katt discovers the corporate Bear
September 5, 2012
I love it when someone takes a popular theme and turns it upside down and inside out. Here is AC Katt to talk about taking two great ideas and pulling out something brand new. My book, A Matter of Trust, came about in a very strange way. I was speaking to a fellow writer who […]
Shannon West’s Do-Over chance to get it Right
September 4, 2012
There are a million and one things over my lifetime that I will wish I had reacted to differently. Some are inconsequential and were never make-or-break moments. But a few stand out as true “life” experiences. Those memories are the ones I’ll pull out every so often and re-examine, fix if I can, agonize over […]
Rick R Reed’s Gay General moment
September 4, 2012
Our subconscious is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it comforts us, protects us; sometimes it even hides things. But sometimes it reveals our own truth when we least expect it. Here is Rick R Reed to talk about how one such subconscious moment became a defining light. Looking Back: Playing a Gay General in THE WIZARD […]
K-Lee Klein is a Real Life Author
September 4, 2012

The Voices in Stormy Glenn’s Head
August 31, 2012
When I hear voices in my head it’s usually because I did something stupid or finally thought of a witty addition long after the original conversation ended. But for a select few, those voices are transformed into something productive, and good, and entertaining for a lot of people. Here is Stormy Glenn to talk about […]

Daniel A Kaine’s real life Mik and Ash
August 29, 2012
When you think about post-apocalyptic books about vampires and conspiring humans, I believe few would guess a connection with two small pets that look like small rabbits and are commonly called brush-tailed rats. But there are links all around us and you’ll never know what you can come up with unless you let your mind […]
Jamie Fessenden Writes the Furture
August 29, 2012
In the world of entertainment and fiction, we’ve all probably read a book, regardless of topic, that was just a bit too “preachy” for our taste. Because, after all, if we didn’t already have an opinion on the matter, we probably wouldn’t be reading it. But to keep it substantial, realistic, and interesting there needs […]
Marshall Thornton Re-Introduces James Kirkwood
August 29, 2012
If you are passionate about anything, then there is probably a nugget – no matter how big or small – that you can look back at as having inspired it all. In the area of M/M romance and gay fiction we all came to the genres in different ways, are interested in different aspects. Add […]
Christopher Koehler’s Skool Daze
August 28, 2012
To a kid, the only thing better than a summer break is the excitement of the first day of the new school year. The anticipation of a new adventure can make most kids overlook the dread of homework. Here is Christopher Koehler to talk about how some people never outgrow that “first day” feeling. Skool […]
Eden Winters Steps out of her Comfort Zone
August 28, 2012
As much as I love shifters or friends-to-lovers or cop/fire rescue themed stories … it would get a bit tiring to read the same thing over and over. Most readers will agree that variety is key to keeping stories interesting. And if that’s important to us, then it stands to reason that authors feel the […]
Devon Rhodes Dreams
August 21, 2012
Its a wonderful thing to see a project go from idea to concept to reality. Here is Devon Rhodes to give us a behind the scenes look on how one of the most anticipated anthologies of the summer came to be. Unconventional At Best: An all M/M GayRomLit special collection from Total-E-Bound What happens at […]
Amy Lane’s Editing Coma
August 21, 2012
To read an Amy Lane novel is to immerse yourself in that world. The characters are almost too real, making the reader react and feel as if they were the ones experiencing such joy or heartbreak instead of a set of fictional characters. Her stories are about life, and as a result, they are always […]
My Regelence Rake by JL Langley
August 21, 2012
Are you a JL Langley fan who has been waiting patiently for her unique brand of Regency? I know I have. As much as I love JL Langley’s work, her sci-fi regency series caught me by surprise. Soon, in a little over a month, the wait will be over as the 3rd novel, My Regelence […]
Kiernan Kelly Rewrites History
August 21, 2012
Kiernan Kelly’s stories, like the woman herself, are full of variety, personality, and surprises. Between her shorts, novels, and webstories … I don’t think there is a subject left unexplored. She has it all. Here she is to talk about how she is able to write about so many things with such convincing authority. Rewriting […]
Recharge with Damon Suede
August 14, 2012
Times are changing … and the M/M community is growing by leaps and bounds. One of the authors leading the charge is author Damon Suede. Not only is he one of the biggest cheerleaders, kindest hearts, and all-around goof-ball for the genre, he has the business know-how and promotional savvy to back it up. Here […]
David and Tim by Timothy McGivney
August 14, 2012
I sort of stumbled across MANtastic Fiction by accident and when Dolorianne asked me to post something for the site, I was totally stumped. Even though I have a new book out, my second, Vampalicious, which is the sequel to my first book, Zombielicious, who really, besides me, cares, right? So what to write about? […]
Volunteer with Z Allora
August 14, 2012
I get so wrapped up with my own stuff that I don’t always pay attention to the world around me. Here is Z Allora to talk about why just a few minutes of my time – and yours – could make the world to someone else. A question I ask myself every single day is: […]
