Event & Class Calendars

Damon may be headed your way! He maintains a vigorous travel schedule, making appearances which can include anything from teaching workshops, hosting parties, speaking on panels, or just hanging out in the hotel bar. If you'd like to see where he's headed so you can swing by and say hey, check out his Class Calendar to see where and when.

"At night sometimes, when leaving a club, he’d wander back in his head, to June bugs and MoonPies, rugged yokels with barbwire scars and cocks that leaked honey." (Lickety Split - D. Suede)

gymnast geometryRANTS & RAMBLING:

This section is a catch-all for reviews and rants related to gay romance fiction and LGBT genre writing in general. Damon is especially interested in the ways the homoerotic romance is evolving and its impact on the readers and writers.

The more genres explore themselves, the more mindful their evolution. Romance mutates constantly, in response to cultural shifts and popular fascinations.. Not sure if these will be of interest to anyone, but articulating this stuff sometimes stirs the mental chili.

ADVICE FOR WRITERS:

Since Damon is an opinionated cuss and have been writing for a lot of years in a lot of genres, he's written a few articles for writers about work-specific topics related to craft, promotion, and career development. Many of the older articles appeared at Romance University or writing group chapter magazines which subsequently republished them. Folks keep asking where they can find copies... so now that time has passed, I'm posting links and/or copies here.

REVIEWS:


These are pretty random... in most cases, the books that elicited these comments just happen to be romances I read and enjoyed when I had time to articulate an opinion. Or books that had problems that raised interesting questions.

Book Club Guides

Talking about books is one of my favorite things to do. A couple book groups who have read my fiction sent along sample questions that sparked fabulous discussions. If you're thinking of reading one of my titles with a circle of friends, feel free to download these to get the conversation going.

By the same token, if your book group comes up with a cool question or something you'd like to share, please get in touch to let me know so I can add it to the proverbial pot.
