Blurb(s):
Aspiring writer Brent Granger has good friends and a great job at an arts magazine in DC, but he’s batting zero in the arena of love. Brent begins to get a clue why things aren’t working with women from his strong attraction to his gorgeous, gay, and already attached boss, Graham Stoneford. When he sees a personal ad from a man that quotes his favorite poet, Brent decides to do something wild and answer.
Enter Cody Bellstrom, easygoing bisexual musician, who is happy to initiate Brent in the ways of gay sex. Brent now has a new problem: he realizes he’s gay and no one in his life knows it. Cody tires of hiding their relationship, but Brent finds it challenging to come out to family, friends, and especially to Graham. In the end, Brent must confront the truth of where – and with whom – his heart lies.

Excerpt:
As Brent sat cross-legged on a pillow, tearing pieces off the rubbery bread and dipping them into various dishes he couldn’t identify, he realized he was having more fun than he’d had in ages. Along with being thoughtful and smart, Graham was one of the most hilarious people he’d ever met, and Brent was in stitches for most of their lunch.
“If only my dates could be like this,” Brent said, after another bout of laughter between them, then widened his eyes. “Oh, wow, man, that sounded dumb.”
Graham didn’t seem fazed. “They’re not? But why? You’re so fun to talk to. Any woman would be nuts not to appreciate you.”
“Uh, well, tell them that. But I guess I don’t really appreciate them either. I don’t know, it’s like, awkward and boring most of the time. Whatever. Ari keeps trying to set me up, but…. Anyway, how did this get into talking about my love life, or lack thereof?”
Graham regarded him, warmth in his eyes, and said softly, “You’ll find it, Brent. Everyone deserves to have love in their life. You’re young. You’ll find it.”
Graham’s words touched Brent, but the intensity of the moment made him uncomfortable. Even worse, he noticed he was getting aroused.
He shifted on his pillow with a weak laugh. “Hey, no more of this ‘young’ crap, okay? You’re not that much older than I am.”

Interview
*****Our friends at Book Suburbia had a crash of their site yesterday, so we’re thrilled to have CJane visit Parker again and talk about whether the seasons influence a writer*****
Book Suburbia – January 16, 2015
Do the seasons influence a writer? What does it mean for an author to write in the winter vs summer? Does it matter at all? And if so, what could be any possible noticeable difference? Does your muse shuts down entirely if the sun goes down too early?
I think the seasons influence me because of the effect of sunlight on mood. I tend towards depression in the winter, as do many writers I know, and it’s hard to find the words or the motivation to write during those times. I also work 32 hours a week and although I bring my manuscript with every intention to write at lunch, it’s often not possible. In the winter especially, by the time I get back from work and it’s cold and dark, I can’t always find the energy to write in the evenings.
This winter hasn’t been as hard and the difference for me is exercise. I’ve been exercising consistently 4 to 5 times a week. I notice that I have some energy left over in the evenings and it’s easier in general to stay motivated and keep cranking out those words.
