Damon Suede...

Love is a many-gendered thing. 2020 was been another banner year for Suede in the the churning waters of gay romance and LGBT genre fiction.

In response to popular demand, Damon finally released a couple nonfiction writing titles for genre authors, including Verbalize andActivate.

Lickety Split came out March 2017 fromDreamspinner Press; it's an erotic cowboy contemporary that goes right to the edge...

Next up: a saucy tabloid romance and the new and improved Grown Men following, as well as some other kinky HardCell novellas.

In other news, Goodreads has named Hot Head one of the "Top 100 Romance Novels of All Time"for seven years running on a list that includes Gone with the Wind, Outlander, Jane Eyre, and Sense & Sensibility! And it turned up on the NPR list of100 Swoon-Worthy Romances in summer 2015 and "13 Romance Novels That Should be On Every Woman's Bucket List" alongside a mindboggling array of romance classics.

More books are on the way, with Hard Head delayed but moving along at its own strange clip, and two new contemporary projects one a sequel and the other...not. :)2020 looks to be an even crazier adventure and I am buckled in. Deep gratitude to everyone who makes this ride so wild and wonderful.

The happiest endings come at the end of a road that is soft and rough ...

Without Merrick: the father of gay romance

Gay romance may seem suddenly trendy in popular fiction, but it's nothing new. Over forty years ago, gay romance bestsellers hit the big lists and refused to budge. For a lot of LGBT folks, these books represented a major breakthrough in post-Stonewall pop culture and a precursor to the push for diversity in mass media.

While reminiscing about my early forays into queer fiction, I wrote a fan letter twenty-five years late to the author who taught me to love gay romance novels way back when I was a mere stripling...Gordon Merrick, inarguably the author of the first gay romantic bestseller in publishing history: sixteen weeks on the New York Times list!Take a walk down memory lane with my overview of some of the guiltiest of homoerotic pleasures.
