Make Mine Manlove

Clancy and Thursday discuss their inspirations and thoughts on their latest release, "Wyatt's Recipes for Wooing Rock Stars".

Wyatt Parker has a good life—he owns his own construction company, his own house, and he eats home-cooked meals every day. But cooking for one while watching the foodie network is more than lonely. When he learns about an upcoming reality show centered on becoming the personal chef for his favorite rock star, Wyatt leaps at the chance to audition. Tully Randolph is the drummer for the band Unusual Potatoes. With a chef for a mom, love of good food runs in the family. When he’s asked to host a cooking competition, he’s all in—especially after he meets Wyatt, who is just the kind of big, hairy guy who gets Tully’s juices flowing. With a heart as big as he is, Wyatt wows Tully with his skills in the kitchen… and in the bedroom. But if their relationship is found out, Wyatt could be drummed out of the competition—and out of Tully’s life. All the ingredients for a happy future are in front of them, and they just need to figure out how to bring everything together.

Three bisexual authors talk about being bi and the many ways in which bi-sexual identities get erased. Includes detours through women’s sexual disenfranchisement and Out For You/Gay For You tropes, plus a stop at the store for the big jug-o-bi.

Pride & Justice

A percentage of the earth's population has transformed into surprisingly functional zombies who returned to work the next morning as if they weren't undead monstrosities. Justice Kinkead, officer in an elite zombie fighting force, gets called out when good zombies go bad, putting down the brain cravers and safeguarding the new economy. After several of his partners succumb to unfortunate deaths, Justice figures he'll go it alone...until he's assigned a mysterious and sexy new partner, Merlin Pride, who seems to know more about the zombies' origins than he's letting on.

Merlin also seems to sense that Justice needs a good screw, but it's complicated: Justice still lives with his undead ex-boyfriend. Can Justice make peace with his past? And if he does, should he take a chance on a man who may have something to do with destroying civilization as they knew it?

Clancy Nacht and Thursday Euclid discuss their inspiration for their m/m romantic thriller Gemini. 

Cass Manning is a serial monogamist, grad student, and identical twin to Paul, a drug-addicted prostitute. Fleeing his unfaithful boyfriend, Cass returns to Houston after years away only to be drawn into danger before he's out of the airport.

When Paul dies under suspicious circumstances, Cass must rely on one of Paul's clients, Kilo, a mercenary willing to protect Cass in exchange for favors. Together they have a chance to bring justice to the corrupt heart of Texas's political power structure, but Kilo's mysterious past may tear him from Cass when he needs him most. Even if they outlive their untouchable adversaries, how does a polite academic find lasting love with a soldier of fortune?

Jessica Freely, Clancy Nacht and Thursday Euclid get together with Prism Book Alliance’s Brandilyn Carpenter to discuss the love/hate relationship between writers and reviewers. Their discussion is prompted by the strange case of stalking perpetrated by Kathleen Hale against a Goodreads reviewer. Different thoughts are discussed but everyone takes a bold stance against stalking and that perhaps authors should try to stay out of the discussions of readers.
