As I’m always reminded, writing, in any form, has always been a passion of mine and I have to learn how to adapt and appreciate the fact that God has gifted me the ability to tackle my art form in various angles.

Frat Rush (Frat Gay For You, #1) by Chad Lane
Okay, Chad Lane is starting to become a favorite writer of mine. Yep! That’s right, ladies and gents, I’m starting to add a romance author to my list of favorite authors. Funny enough, he’s going to be the second author on my list that’s gay; Michael Zummo, the author of the ingenious D’mok series, is another one of mines. But, seriously, this author is really a delight.
For Him (For Him, #1) by Chad Lane
Okay, so as I stated before, the romance genre is something I’m still researching and adjusting to. At this point, I’m actually digging it so far. Still not exactly my cup of tea BUT I can see why so many readers immerse themselves in the genre. And, like I explained before, the only way I’ll read a romance novel is if it’s LGBT since my next series will be of the same variety.
Time to Upsize (The Indignities Book 1) by Graeme Aitken
So, when I told my friends that I wanted to tackle the romance department, I was told to start reading some romance novels to get a better understanding of the genre. I was also suggested to do the same thing with the Crime genre. So, I was given an invite to BookBub.com and went to town on some free books. The first one was Time to Upsize, an LGBT Romance with a rather…how should I put this…avant grade storyline.
The Healthy Habit Revolution: Create Better Habits in 5 Minutes a Day by Derek Doepker
Whenever I’m selecting a book outside my usual genre (Science Fiction & Fantasy), my approach is a little different. I want to be able to relate to the book from a PROFESSIONAL standpoint as opposed to a personal one. Reason being is because, usually, if I’m not reading for fun, it’s for growth. That being said, I like to talk about the first book I have completed of the yearly Goodreads’s Reading Challenge.
