Dear Ms. Wren. There are so many things wrong with this book, so many points at which I could have gone “Huh?” in complete confusion — if I hadn’t totally and utterly bought into it because of the characters. I’ve read this book three times. It’s only been out about a month. It’s entered my(…)

Dear Ms. Cairo. Circle of Change was recommended to me when I reviewed a romance that had a transsexual character. This story has a transsexual protagonist, Kim, a Female to Male (FtM) student (high school, then college). Kim finds love as he enters makes the transition out of high school. I enjoyed following his transformations,(…)

Dear C.B. Conwy: It’s so refreshing to see BDSM portrayed as a necessary and integral part of characters’ sexual identities without any need to explain why or how they are the way they are. It’s refreshing to see the emotional and physical sides of BDSM dealt with equally. It’s SO refreshing to see two people(…)

Dear. Ms. Merrow. I like your work. I love the English flavor of your work. I love your characters who are all definitely distinct characters. I love your rent boys. So this novella from Samhain looked right up my alley. And it was. I recommended it for October, so here’s my review…rather later than intended.(…)

Dear Ms. Cullinan. Joan/SarahF: I reviewed your Special Delivery and adored it. I also said at the end that the sequel was out and I was looking forward to reading it. I have to admit I tried to read it once, but it was too…busy? for that point in my mental health, or maybe I(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell. I’ve never actually managed to finish this book before. I’ve had it ever since I discovered your writing, but never managed to get through it, despite numerous friends for whom it is their favorite of your books. I always thought it was because it’s about a high school shooting and my partner(…)

Today is National Coming Out Day, and here at Dear Author, we’re going to be celebrating NCOD all week with our own “Gay Writes” campaign. One of the reasons NCOD was established in 1988 is because the single most important thing most GLBT people can do to advance GLBT rights is to come out, whether(…)

I read a lot of novellas or stories that are even shorter than that. Torquere, for instance, regularly puts out stories that are 10 pages, or 20, or 30, but I don’t bother requesting them because how could I justify a review? But I figure if I review 3-4 shorts in one post, then I(…)

Dear Ms. Fox, We enjoyed writing our joint review of K.A. Mitchell’s Life, Over Easy and, individually, both enjoyed your own Life After Joe so much that we thought we'd double the fun and repeat the experience. Driftwood shares some of the characteristics of your debut effort, Life After Joe. It features flawed, self-aware, and(…)

Dear Ms. Turner. I found this book by looking for your backlist after I fell into reading your new Loose Id release (that I will review when I’ve finished it). I finished this one first, though, because it’s shorter. And I couldn’t stop reading it. Connor works in a video store with his roommate Boyd.(…)
