“It's not about who you sleep with, or whether you know about sports or tools or have a pearl-wearing wife or whether commercials make you cry. [...] it's about whether you step up. When something hard comes along. A man steps up. He doesn't dodge it or run away from it or try to push it onto someone else. He steps up. Even if it isn't his responsibility. And that's why there are so many guys and so few men. Because stepping up is hard.”

“I think it's romantic," she said mostly to Edward. "Cursed to live their lives in the shadows, to be together only under the cover of darkness... hiding their love from the sunlight."
"They're gay, honey," said Emma, "not vampires.”

“Yeah, Jame. I don’t have a woman. I am sure as fuck not taking a guy. You can be my date.” Matt answered.
“Oh, because I’m not a woman, or a guy.”

“What do you feel?” Curiosity hung in the air.
Matt was thankful Darian didn’t walk out except now he had to explain himself. “I feel jittery.”
“Oh, then it’s gotta be love.” Darian shook his head and turned away.
Matt knew sarcasm when he heard it. He grabbed Darian’s elbow and pulled him into his arms. Darian’s hands were smashed to his chest and his face was very close to Matt’s. “I’m not letting you walk out.” He asserted. “You make me feel sick.”
“Oh, that’s so much better.”

Yes !! I started it. The title is going to be Only Skin Deep. Right now I'm working on my sequel to my JOCK book, but I will get to it!! Corey needed a story.

YAY!
And OMG! All-Time ~ Favorite All-Time M/M Author
Plus: All-Time ~Favorite All-Time M/M Romance for When Love is Not Enough!
Names Can Never Hurt Me would probably fit into the Contemporary Mainstream category in the M/M choice awards. Not sure what else. I guess I have to think about the books I've read to nominate.
Matthew wrote: "Is the Unconditional Love series over or are there more coming?"I have more planned. Darian's story for sure. I even have a cover. But alas I am a slow writer. I have a book coming-out in July (ish) no date yet, but it is in edits with Dreamspinner and cover art is in the works. And I am writing two books right now. I plan to get to Darian later this year. Thanks for asking :D
I have just over 3 hours before I leave for Atlanta. Do I finish packing? Do I make sure I have everything? No. I BLOG!!! Spirit Day! Wear Purple (if you can) and support LGBT youth! http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/2...
I blogged. I talk about the rise of my latest release (The Cost of Loving) to #19 on Amazon's Best Seller List in Gay Romance in only 3 days. As well as having the first book in the series appear on the best seller list again! woot!!! When Love Is Not Enough is #55. 2 BOOKS ON AMAZON'S BEST SELLERS IN GAY ROMANCE!! WOW. I also thank my fans on my blog. I mention writing the next one. And I talk about my love of "lists". Hop on over and read about it -->>http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/2...
So, I blogged about the release date: August 16th. I talked about the frustration I've gone through in waiting that long. This book has takes 2 years to publish. There were major issues involving GRAMMAR, plot details, and the ending. BUT, I think I've learned something through it all. At least I hope I have! Read my blog (http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/2...) You'all are great! Really. Best fans in the world.
Gearing up for the heartache and angst. I blogged for you again. :) enjoy. http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/
After accused of "Radio Silence" (LOL) I wrote a blog. Goodreads is often slow at "pulling" the feed from Blogspot, so here is the link.http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/2...
Oh shit! Hug me! Hug me! Hug me! I am only 90 pages or so in and I need hugs! The waterworks have started after reading one sentence 90 pages in! Am I gonna make it?
No! I am currently having a temper tantrum because my brother is a boob! I have not gotten far into it as said brother is a boob and I was having a small melt down! I am off tomorrow so I can give my full attention to your wonderful story and have word orgasms... (I love that...word orgasm!)I will keep ya posted sweetie! Super big hugs!

Gosh darn you Wade...After some gentle prodding (LMAO) I am giving up the book I am reading and I am going for When Love Is Not Enough...I am gonna be a blubbery, blotchy crying mess..and it will all be your fault! I am breathing deep.....and here I go....
I'm blogging, but GR's feed isn't pulling it over. Not sure why.http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/
I blogged. It's long. I included an excerpt of the book I am ALMOST done writing/rewriting/editing - The Cost of Loving. http://writerwadekelly.blogspot.com/2...
I'm going to Philly today. My Smart phone isn't smart enough to let me comment/ reply to any blog post comments so for those who regularly say something to me, I'm not ignoring you!! I'll answer when I get back.

Ethan who loves Carter should go straight to the top Wade, but I could be a little bias lol
