Blurb:
As writer of the popular “Ask Eros” advice column, Simon Beck has an answer to every relationship question his readers can throw at him. When it comes to his own life, the answers are a little more elusive—until computer troubles introduce him to the newest and cutest member of his company’s IT support team. Simon may be charmed by Benji’s sweet and unassuming manner, but will he find the answer to the one relationship question he has never been able to solve: how to know when he’s met Mr. Right?
Categories: Contemporary, Fiction, Gay Fiction, M/M Romance, Rom-Com
Excerpt:
“How about you? Did you always want to be a writer?”
“Yeah. I think I did.” He finally gives up on work completely and closes the laptop. “I mean. I guess what I write about is kind of pointless, but I wanted to be a poet once upon a time, so I guess it could be even more pointless,” he jokes.
Benji’s eyebrows knot. “It’s not. Why would it be pointless?”
Simon gives a humorless laugh. “I mean, I write a sex column for women. Not exactly moving prose or hard-hitting journalism.”
Benji scoots over little on the desk, sitting with his legs so close to where Simon is sitting low in his chair that he can smell Benji’s crisp laundry detergent and citrusy soap. He suddenly has to fight the urge to move a fraction to the left, press his nose to the inside seam of Benji’s jeans and breathe him in.
“You listen to people. You remind them that they’re valuable and worthy of love and respect. How is that not important?” Simon is struck speechless, chest tight and breath caught. Then Benji claps him on the shoulder and hops off the desk. “Come on. Let’s go have lunch.”

Interview
Do I have any pets?
I do! I have two cats and a dog, and even though I love animals and have always had pets, I wound up with all three of them by random happenstance.
Tank is a mix: Half Chihuahua, half gremlin, I’m pretty sure. Or maybe it was half Jack Russell Terrier. I got him when I lived in Seattle, from a friend of my sister who had to move suddenly and couldn’t take any of her pets. She was desperate to keep them out of a shelter and having trouble finding homes for them. I lived in a tiny apartment at the time, didn’t really want a dog until I had a yard, but I felt badly for her, so I said I’d come by and see the dogs, but only just to see. Tank was home with me a few days later. He spends a lot of time looking out the window, viciously barking at whatever passes by: People. Dogs. Cars. Plastic bags caught in an updraft. He’s can also be very sweet and affectionate and he loves to play ball. And yes, his ears always look like that.
The cats I found abandoned on the side of the road; three tiny orange kittens, spotted after a shopping trip with a car full of stuff. The rescue was swelteringly hot and tense, and they were terrified; skittering away dangerously close to the cars speeding by whenever we tried to scoop them up. A giant spider landed on my head at one point. But eventually, skinny and starving, they gave into the slices of lunch meat we had to offer. I wasn’t really in the market for one cat, let alone three, but every no kill shelter and rescue group in the area was full. Actually I think a few of them tried to unload some of their cats onto me they were so full. I decided to keep one. Found homes for the other two. One of those homes fell through so I kept two. Dandelion is a light buff orange who will hit me repeatedly with her paw if I don’t pet her when she wants me to. She’s doing it as I type this. Buttercup likes to eat spinach and sleep in dirty clothes hampers and has a petting quota of approximately one head scratch every other month.
There’s also a bird but she doesn’t do much. Just looks and sounds pretty and drops seed husks into the carpet. The dog in Spice is my dream dog: A big, happy, lovable goof. Maybe someday. I’m still waiting on that yard, though. And I probably have my hands full. But who knows, maybe I’ll accidentally wind up with one anyway.
