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 »

"This was not my typical read, but it really was enjoyable (if a bit sad).
The story starts off with Isaac as an 8 year old, with every chapter taking place 8 years later. The chapters are snippets of his life. Some are more action packed while others " Read more of this review » |

| Catherine Newman is really, really good at finding the funny in tragic situations. I love her complicated, beautifully-flawed characters and their witty dialog, and I also love her profound perspective on the fine line between life and death, and how ...more | |

| 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 | |

| A great conclusion to a page-turning, character-driven, sexually-charged, and frequently disturbing trilogy. A.V. Shener writes excellent gay erotica. Enjoy! | |
“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.”
