Handsome princes get married in gay-themed fairytale book

A new children’s fairytale book features a happy ending – for a couple of handsome gay princes.

The Princes and the Treasure follows the two princes, Earnest and Gallant, as they join forces on a quest to save a beautiful princess, Elena, who has been kidnapped by a horrible old woman.

Earnest is described as a “shy bookworm” who “loved a great adventure, but only in books”, while Gallant is “handsome, and dashing, and the most desired man in town”.

During their quest to save the princess, opposites attract and the two men end up falling in love with one another.

Then at the end of the story, Earnest and Gallant cement their love for each other by getting married.

VIRGINIA SCHOOL DISTRICT TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING ON PARENT'S REQUEST TO PULL 'TWO BOYS KISSING' FROM LIBRARY

A parent's request to remove David Levithan's novel Two Boys Kissing from a high school library has prompted a public hearing in a Virginia school district, Fauquier.com reports:

Fauquier County Public Schools has received a request from a parent to withdraw from student use the book “Two Boys Kissing” by David Levithan which is a part of the high schools’ library collections. A school committee at Fauquier High School decided to retain the book in its library collection, and the parent is appealing the decision to the superintendent.

In accordance with Policy 6-5.7, the associate superintendent is forming a review committee. On Wednesday, April 23 in the conference room of the school board office, the committee will consider the complainant’s request. From 1:30-3 p.m. the committee will interview the complainant and possibly others related to the decision to withdraw or retain the book. From 3-4 p.m. the committee will hold a public hearing during which time interested citizens may speak to the review committee concerning the subject. The committee will discuss its findings and render a decision on the same date. All proceedings on April 23 are open to the public.

Here's part of what our book critic Garth Greenwell said about the novel, which he called "ambitious, humane, [and] extraordinarily moving":

The wonder of Two Boys Kissing is that it seems entirely adequate to the world in which young gay people live today. It’s a world in which one boy can be embraced, even celebrated by his family, while his boyfriend is terrified of being found out by his parents. It’s a world in which young people can attend a gay prom and fall headily in love, and then find themselves confronting violence on their second date. And, most painfully, both for the reader and for the chorus of lost elders who speak to us, it’s a world in which gay young people still feel driven to commit violent acts against themselves.

But Levithan’s novel doesn’t just feel adequate to our present; it also—and, in my reading of LGBT literature for young people, uniquely—feels adequate to our past. Maybe Levithan’s most poignant theme is the relationship between young gay people and the generation that preceded them, a generation given voice to by the grieving, exulting, longing ghost chorus that speaks to us on every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming March 14, 2014

By Susan M. Reaves

I am a staunch supporter of marriage equality for same sex couples and subscribe to several facebook pages that often post stories of couples who have been together for many years in spite of society's condemnation of their unions. The stories/couples that move me the most are the folks who have been together longer than many straight marriages. They have stayed together even though for part of that time they were considered outlaws, outsiders or were invisible to the world because the world couldn't/wouldn't see them. This book truly captures what a long and loving partnership between two men would have been like during the years depicted in the story. It was a terrific read and very moving.

A. T. Weaver is an older author who gives it all she's got to bring the reader a story with meat on its bones. So many of the m/m romance genre stories sold on Amazon are told in 150 or fewer pages. The stories are over before you can blink a few times. Here we have a nice long read that you can sink down into the sofa or easy chair with and really enter the lives of the characters.

I have read all of Ms. Weaver's offerings on Amazon. While I liked each of them for different reasons, I have to say that this is my favorite so far. Kudos also the cover artist who truly captured the essence of the book.

A Must Read Novel by Mark A. Roeder!!

A Triumph of Will

WWII. 1942. Will’s brother is fighting the war in the Pacific, but Will is forced to remain behind. Will takes his brother’s place in the academic world of Indiana University, where he meets two students and two soon-to-be-legendary men who will change his life forever.

Will thought he was the only boy attracted to other males, but when he sneaks into Professor Kinsey’s marriage course he realizes his mistake. Will meets Ben, who he suspects is not unlike himself. When his suspicions are confirmed, the pair begins an awkward, halting relationship of self-discovery and love.

Will is shocked that Negroes attend IU. He’s leery and afraid of Adam, but becomes ashamed of his prejudice when he comes face-to-face with the discrimination Adam faces daily. Together, Will, Adam, and a powerful ally join to subtly and surreptitiously integrate IU. But, just as changes for the better come, Will is faced with prejudice much closer to home, prejudice that can only be banished by tragedy.

A Will to Triumph is a story of friendship, ignorance, fear, and the power of knowledge and love to make the world a better place.

Gay Teen Novel 'Two Boys Kissing' Makes National Book Award Longlist for Young People's Literature

The National Book Awards released its longlists today for Young People's Literature and Poetry.

Among those up for the award in Young People's Lit is David Levithan's gay teen novel Two Boys Kissing.

Levithan's novel interweaves the stories of a number of gay teens, foremost among them one couple who decides to break the world record for longest kiss.

Wrote the L.A. Times' Louis Bayard of the book:

Levithan interweaves all these players with surgical skill and with an unabashed attention to bodies. If the book's title doesn't get it banned from a thousand school libraries, its frankness will: "Peter lingers his hand down Neil's back, slips his fingers beneath his waistband, rests on the skin there, the heat. Neil moves in the opposite direction, his hand rising under the back of Peter's shirt, between his shoulder blades. ... Neil touches the nape of his neck, then slowly retreats back down, fingernails raking skin…."

What sets this book apart from Levithan's previous work (including the charming "Will Grayson, Will Grayson," co-written by John Green) is its yearning for tragedy. For brooding over these youths is a Greek chorus of ghosts: the generation of gay men who lived and loved and died in the first onslaught of AIDS.

"We are your shadow uncles," they declare, "your angel godfathers, your mother's or your grandfather's best friend from college, the author of that book you found in the gay section of the library."

AHT: I've read this novel it is amazing! Definitely recommend it.

For Lori Duron, parenting her younger son C.J. is etched in time as B.B. and A.B. - before Barbie and after Barbie.

The 6½-year-old discovered the doll at the back of his mother’s closet about four years ago, and she’s barely left his clutches since.

In a new book "Raising My Rainbow," the Orange County, Calif., mom describes C.J. as - in a word - fabulous as he lives life largely in pink, playing with girl toys, dressing in girl clothes and worshipping the Disney princesses.

If you want more words, there’s "gender nonconforming, gender creative, gender fluid, gender independent, gender variant, has gender identity disorder, or whatever you prefer to call it."

A world of nagging fear and anxiety about raising a boy who wants to be treated like a girl prompted Duron to begin an anonymous blog, RaisingMyRainbow.com, documenting their family’s adventures. More than a million readers later, the book from Broadway Books is her humorous coming out.

The Antichrists

My author friend Mark A. Roeder has released another novel today! It is called The Antichrists! Definitely worth the read for every Christian and non-Christian alike.


Elijah has a dream—to follow in the footsteps of his brothers and make the VHS football team. But, for Elijah it’s an uphill battle. Unlike his tall, muscular brothers, Elijah is small and weak, but he pushes on, determined to realize his dream. Elijah’s faith is a source of comfort and strength, but when his new pastor begins to preach out against gays, Elijah feels increasingly unwelcome. While his church seems increasingly un-Christian, Elijah is exposed to the gay boys of Verona—boys who care about each other and reach out to those in need. Why are those who are called abominations acting more Christian than the Christians? When Elijah admits to himself that he is gay his faith is weakened. His belief is further shaken when he becomes sick. Is it a punishment from God? How could God create him gay and then punish him for it? As Elijah’s troubles and doubts increase, a very special boy comes into his life and helps him find his way. Elijah learns that much of what he has been taught in church is wrong, but that he shouldn’t turn his back on his beliefs. He learns that sometimes, those who present themselves as moral leaders are anything but. They are the Antichrists.

It is available in both paperback and Kindle!

Free Novel on Kindle

My friend Mark A. Roeder is releasing his novel The Soccer Field Is Empty for FREE on Kindle for the next several days.

Mark is a boy who wants what we all want: to love and be loved. His dreams are realized when he meets Taylor, the boy of his dreams. The boys struggle to keep their love hidden from a world that cannot understand, but ultimately, no secret is safe in a small Mid-western town.

The Soccer Field Is Empty is a story of love, friendship, understanding, and an age-old prejudice that still has the power to kill. It is a story for young and old, gay and straight. It reminds us all that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect and that there is nothing greater than the power of love.

Heart and gut wrenching, but it's CRITICAL you read it November 26, 2002

By Douglas Kendrick

Format:Paperback

You'll think I'm nuts, but tears are welling up in my eyes and I'm trembling even as I write this review, thinking of the emotion and feelings that The Soccer Field Is Empty filled me with. It is without reservation the most powerful book of gay fiction I've ever read and its story has changed me forever.

The novel opens with a flashback and the first lines from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: "In fair Verona where we lay our scene..." This sets the entire tone for what turns out to be a modern-day interpretation of that tragedy-but for two boys in midwestern Verona, Indiana and not the ancient Italian town. It sets that specter of tragic inevitability in the reader's mind.
The story is incredibly moving and incredibly complex. We view the lives of these two boys-Mark and Taylor-through their own eyes in the form of a sort of ping-pong, back and forth between their journal entries. From their shy beginnings, through their happiness, their sorrow, their desperation and finally, their end. Roeder has weaved it all together into a constantly moving, roller-coaster ride of a story. I continue to marvel at how my emotions were torn back and forth, back and forth until I was almost left a wreck. I've never before read ANYTHING that at one point had me sobbing uncontrollably, inconsolably for over 20 minutes. That may sound alarming-and believe me, it was at the time-but I wouldn't trade the experience or this story for ANYTHING. The very fact that Mark Roeder could DO this to me is nothing less than miraculous and a testament to his prowess and God-given talent as a storyteller. I'm almost PLEADING with you to read this book.

In the end, the story serves as an incredible cautionary tale of what might happen when those "ancient prejudices" lead to tragedy.

The Soccer Field is Empty is the kick-off of Roeder's Gay Youth Chronicles saga (it's actually an expanded and reworked edition of his earlier novel, Ancient Prejudice, Break to New Mutiny which only tells the story from one side). If you read this book first, you're on the right track. I think part of my emotional turmoil in reading this novel was the fact that I'd actually read Roeder's third novel, A Better Place, first-and it contained several "spoilers" which made Soccer Field very tough indeed. Please, PLEASE continue reading his books-they are amazing, and each has a different but important or even simply entertaining story to tell. I promise you that you'll not be disappointed. (See my review of A Better Place and others as I post them.)

Recently I published online my first short fan fiction story. It's called The Soccer Field Is Full Again.

In The Soccer Field Is Empty by Mark A. Roeder, Mark Bailey and Taylor Potter commit suicide rather than continue to take the physical and emotional abuse from their classmates and parents about being gay. However unbeknownst to Taylor a one night drunken stand with his pretend girlfriend results in the birth of his son, Jordan Taylor Potter. Jordan, also gay, and member of the hugely successful pop group Phantom meets Ralph Rogers and together they become the parents of twin brothers Taylor and Mark Rogers-Potter. This is set entirely within Mark's universe and has been written with his permission. Mark has written over 30 novels in his universe and you should read them. They can be purchased through his web site. The series is called The Gay Youth Chronicles. 

Please check it out here!

New Audio Book!

Scotty Jackson Died... But Then He Got Better, by Mark A. Roeder, is now available as an audio book!

Scotty Jackson is a gay boy in trouble. His fanatically religious parents cannot accept his attraction to other boys. Scotty tries to fool them at first, but they grow suspicious and clamp down on him until his life isn't worth living. Fearful that Scotty's parents will send him away to be 'cured,' Scotty's friends spirit him away while desperately seeking a way to make his life better.

While Scotty is in hiding, Dorian comes up with a brilliant idea to improve Scotty's life - he'll kill Scotty! Sometimes, only death can make parents see the error of their ways.

Reviews

How many people can say they crashed their own funeral? That's the idea behind another excellent book by Mark Roeder. Mark has written over 30 books so far and I have yet to be disappointed and this is no exception. Once again the gay boys of Verona show that they will look out for one another even if it means having to plan the death and funeral of one of their friends. Anyone who hasn't read any of Mark's books, this is a good place to start although I would recommend you start with the first in the series. Those of us who are his fans and consider him a friend as well eagerly await anything that he writes. Most of Mark's fan's are older but for any gay or questioning teens or their friends I would say you really can't go wrong here. Mark doesn't talk down to kids and they are suitable for teens to read. I wish something like this had been available when I was a teen back all those many years ago. I think it would have been a lot easier for me then, knowing that there were others out there like me. This was a very enjoyable read for me and I plan on rereading it several times. I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. Highly recommended. ~ Victor Thomas

When this author, Mark Roeder, gives us a new book, I immediately purchase it for my kindle. This book had me wondering as to what a story with this title might be. The story is outstanding and I read the book in less than two days. This is another Roeder book that joins his excellent collection of the Gay Youth Chronicles and adds greatly to the series. The time factor of the story is high school of the early 1950s and I was in my junior year of college at the time. The twist in this story is in the title which I will leave for the reader to learn. Great characters that have become friends of those who read Roeder's books. The story moves right along bringing the reader into fast-forward to learn what is on the next page. The story will bring one to think of the importance of good friends and their support. ~ Charles E. Brock

Taking God at His Word: The Bible and Homosexuality

Excerpt from the book UNFAIR: Christians and the LGBT Question by John Shore:

God does not ask us to choose between compassion and faith in the Bible.

Christians are increasingly divided over the issue of the acceptance and inclusion of gay persons into the church. The debate itself is usually framed as essentially pitting the Bible, on one hand, against compassion and social justice on the other. Our Christian hearts, runs the (usually impassioned) argument, compel us to grant full moral and legal equality to gay and lesbian people; our Christian faith, comes the (usually impassioned) rebuttal, compels us to cleave, above all, to the word of God.

Compassion for others is the fundamental cornerstone of Christian ethics; the Bible is the bedrock of the Christian faith. What Christian can possibly choose between the two?

The answer is that no Christian is called upon to make that choice. The text of the Bible on one hand, and full equality for gay and lesbian people on the other, is a false dichotomy. God would not ask or expect Christians to ever choose between their compassion and their faith.

Reconciling the Bible with unqualified acceptance and equality for LGBT people does not necessitate discounting, recasting, or deconstructing the Bible. All it takes is reading those passages of the Bible wherein homosexuality is mentioned with the same care that we would any other passage of the book.

We can trust God; we can trust that God is loving.

And we can trust that we can—and that we certainly should—take God, in this matter, as in all things, at his word.

J.K. Rowling released new crime book under pseudonym

J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy has written a new crime novel, The Cuckoo's Calling. Except this time, there won't be any long months of waiting or midnight release parties that her readers have become accustomed to; the book has been released for nearly three months under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

The 450-page book is described as a "classic crime novel." The fact that Galbraith shared the same publisher and editor as Rowling started as the tip-off to the reveal. Prior to news being released, the book had only sold approximately 1500 copies, but received high acclaim from critics and readers.

The Telegraph reported that Rowling gave a statement when approached this weekend.

"I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer," Rowling said, "because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience. It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name."

Here's the synopsis of the book:

A brilliant debut mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide. After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office. 

Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it as a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction and delusion known to man. 

You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. you may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this.

The 'About the Author' section says of Robert Galbraith:

After several years with the Royal Military Police, Robert Galbraith was attached to the SIB (Special Investigative Branch), the plain-clothes branch of the RMP. He left the military in 2003 and has been working since then in the civilian security industry. The idea for Cormoran Strike grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends who returned to the civilian world. 'Robert Galbraith' is a pseudonym.

In 2007, there was a rumor that Rowling was writing a crime novel that was denied and said to be a joke.

Before news broke, there was only 20 reviews of the book on Amazon. Interestingly, one recent reviewer on Amazon said:

This book is so well written that I suspect that some years down the road we will hear the author's name is pseudonym of some famous writer.

You can purchase the book from Amazon in hardcover, paperback and Kindle. The book currently ranks #98,424 in Amazon's Best Sellers Rank, but if the author truly is Rowling, we can except that number to skyrocket.

New Novel from My Friend R. C. Layton

Congratulations to one of my friends, R. C. Layton on the publication of his first novel, Without Your Love. I've read it and did the cover design! It's great!

Without Your Love

RC Layton

Devon has decided to declare his love for Aaron when tragedy strikes. Two boys, friends for years now face the future but can Devon convince Aaron he still loves him even though he is paralyzed?

A thoughtless moment outs them in school and now they also face the hate of all but two friends, another gay couple who face the same problems they do at school. Will love and friendship win out?

Cover Creation

Over the last few years I've been creating novel covers for several authors. It is a lot of fun to do because I get to take the author's writing, usually someone else's photos and my own imagination and create something that hopefully will help the author sell his work. Sometimes I just have to take a stock photo and add the author's title and name but sometimes it requires much more work. Blending multiple photos together seamlessly to get the desired results. Thought I'd share some of my creations here.

Best Friends At That!

A novel by my favorite author, Mark A. Roeder
