Promises

A little back story:

It was a few years ago, when I was in a reading frenzy over the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, that I started visiting the forum where Diana regularly posts. I stopped in a couple times a week and was introduced to a genre of fiction/romance that I hadn’t considered.  Male/male romance. I was lead through a link, to another and um, I found that I quite enjoyed these adventures and was hooked. I learned that:

“In fact, most readers of gay-romance novels are — like most readers of straight-romance novels — women who devour 300-page stories of men falling in and out of love with each other…” from this LA Weekly article Man on Man: The New Gay Romance…written by and for straight women…

And then:

Last summer one of my friends, Marie Sexton (her pen name!), mentioned that she was also addicted to this type of novel. I was a little surprised, but happy to find that I wasn’t alone. In addition, she has written her own novel…actually two so far. Her first is being released today! I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I haven’t read it yet, but am so excited for her and this new adventure!
