The Glamorous Life Of A Writer
As a novelist, the three main questions I get asked are:
1) What’s your writing process?
2) Where do you get your ideas for your books?
3) When was the last time you showered?
Let’s tackle these one at a time.
What’s your writing process?
When I first start a novel, I spend a few weeks picking my nose and staring at the blinking cursor on my laptop screen. Meanwhile, I drink a few gallons of tea, sta Read more of this blog post »

Bart’s Recent Updates
"A charming novel
Yates writes a breezy book with surprising moments of depth and humanity. I might call this a summer read for the lightness of tone, but a cold weather story for its heart. " |

"So well done. Makes me wish the story would go on. I look forward to reading more by Mr. Yates."

"4.5 stars rounded up to 5. An endearing story that starts when the narrator is 8 and every chapter skips 8 years. He endures a full life — with adventure, love, and loss — with his family an integral part of his life. Definitely recommend. "

| A.V. Shener has become my go-to author for classy gay erotica, with steamy sex scenes, interesting characters, and intricate plots that veer from darkness to light and always keep me guessing. END SCENE is a great addition to Shener's oeuvre. The vil ...more | |
“I should probably apologize for how much I swear, but fuck it. I've read that some people think swearing shows a lack of imagination and a limited vocabulary, but sometimes "darn" and "poop" and "oh heck" just don't cut it. Besides, swearing is kind of fun.”

“Love attacks. It sneaks up like a pride of lions or a pack of hyenas and eats your heart out while you watch. Love is the bully on the playground who takes your lunch money and gives you a black eye in return, the arsonist who burns your house down with you in it, the witch who lures you into her home with candy and boils you alive for dinner. Love is raw, and violent, and instantaneous. You don’t fall in love; you get trampled by it.”

“Where does a child of mine get all that hair, I wonder? Arthur’s not exceptionally hirsute, and the men on my side of the family are as bald as potatoes. I must have had an affair with a gorilla before he was born, but you’d think I’d remember something like that, wouldn’t you? ... Be a dear and remind me to leave my brandy flask at home the next time I visit the zoo.”
