I Do Two promo in Bristol

[jl_merrow]

Well, I'm back in the South-East now, but I had a fantastic time in Bristol on Saturday night, meeting up with fellow I Do Two anthology authors Bruin Fisher, Neil Plakcy and Sophia Deri-Bowen, along with fellow Necking co-contributor Josephine Myles.

We had a great time talking about writing m/m romance, and even selling the odd book or two! Neil, who's a seasoned pro compared to the rest of us book-signing virgins, is an absolute scream. He was telling us how much he preferred an evening in a gay bar to trying to promote his m/m mysteries in bookstores – because as he said, it's not that easy to just go up to people and say, "Hey, are you interested in mysteries? Yeah? How about mysteries with butt-fucking?"

Well, if Neil's novels are anything like as entertaining as the man himself, they must be good! I haven't got around to checking one out myself yet but am definitely planning to!

I'm sure you already know about Josh Lanyon's books, in particular the Adrien English mysteries which are fantastic, and others are:

AM Riley's The Elegant Corpse
Katie Allen's Private Dicks (but not the sequel)
Tamara Allen's Downtime (also has time travel to 19th century London)
Victor J Banis' Deadly Series (I named a character in Angel after one in Deadly Wrong, I was so moved by him)
PA Brown's The Geography of Murder and LA Heat (again, the sequel was disappointing)

...is that enough to be getting along with? ;)
