I’ve never really read an m/m book so these interviews were really interesting to read. Now I’d like to read one of these books – sounds interesting

I also want to thank all these great authors for being here today, and I can’t wait to read more stories by them. Marisa & Kati, thank you for bringing this all together. It was a wonderful two days, and I learned a lot, and have added several books to my tbb list. To each of the authors, thank you for answering all our questions and being so open and fun, and for writing such amazing stories. There’s a lot of talent out there, and you all are a part of that. Thank you for pushing the envelope, for not always playing it safe, and for telling the stories that speak to you. It’s been a wonderful experience to read what you’ve created

*running in late* I’m so sorry I missed most of today, I had no internet connection. YIKES. BUT after reading all the posts I am thrilled with the discussion and how honest and open everyone was in their posts. I had a few ah ha moments. I’m not signaling the end of the discussion – I’m just chiming in on a few things.

I have to admit one of the reasons I decided to have this round table discussion was purely selfish. These 9 authors are among my favorites and I’ve read most of their books and wanted to share my experiences with the other readers on RNTV. Each one of these authors has brought me countless hours of pleasure and taken me to worlds I never would have gone on my own. They also allowed me to experience emotions vicariously through their characters. For me it is ALWAYS about the story and the characters. Write it well, I’m back for more. And these authors all do that for me.

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of reading these authors I highly recommend that you click on their names in the blog and visit their websites – find out for yourselves all the books that are waiting to be read.

I’d like to thank Ally, Jamie (Vivien and Pepper) JL, LB, K.A., Josh and Jet not only for their books but for taking the time to be a part of this event and being so generous and honest with your responses. You’re all amazing and it’s been my great good fortune and pleasure to have been a small part of this. I’ve got LB’s Gobsmacked, Josh’s The Pirate King and Ally’s Where the Heart is next to read! I’m excited about all the new releases from these authors.

There are other authors I would also like to recommend, like Laura Baumbach and Samantha Kane , to name two, who were not with us only because I thought there would be way too many authors for us to handle. BUT, there is always next year. Each year the genre grows and each year authors grow – new stories and new ways of telling them.

Ditto what everyone else said. I was happy enough to be invited for the roundtable anyhow. When I found out who all was in the interview group with me, I squeed out loud like a total fangirl *g*

I’ve had a wonderful time here. I love this type of open, honest back-and-forth discussion between readers and authors. Josh nailed it when he said he always learns something new in discussions like this. We all do, I think, and that’s a beautiful thing Many thanks to Kati, Marisa and the whole gang at RNTV for having us here!

We’ve had a great time, too. I love reading all of the answers and the comments. We were also very, very, very honored to be asked to participate in the discussion. I mean, to be asked to be interviewed with Josh, JL, Ally, et al? It was extremely flattering

So many of my own favorite authors in one place at one time…yes. A lot of fun — and flattering to be included.
