Hi Paula!
Thanks so much for checking in! Well... it's taken me a while to flesh out the latest storyline, but I've got it and started writing last week. I hope to have it completed and to my editor within two months. I will definitely keep you updated! Thanks again.

Hey Michelle!
Thanks for the question (and the great review)! When I think about it carefully, the concept of Angela's character came first - but honestly, she was developed only a few seconds before the storyline with Philip and Jonathan. I won't go into detail here, (it's a long answer) but if you read my blog, "Where the HELL did Angela come from?", you'll be able to see why I responded to this question the way I did. Thanks again for the question and I hope it's one of many...!

When Showing Up For Someone Comes Too Late

There’s a strange kind of cruelty in the way people sometimes show up.

They come when someone is sick. They gather when someone is dying. They fill rooms, send flowers, write beautiful messages, tell stories, make promises, and say all the things they somehow never managed to say when it might have mattered most.

But where were they during the ordinary days?

Where were they when the person was lonely

“Tell me you’re happy and I’ll leave you alone. Tell me this is the life you’ve always wanted for yourself and I won’t say another word.” He leaned in toward me, still meeting my gaze. “Be honest. Tell me this is what you want, and I’ll stop.”

Making Connections: 436. ONE LAST LIE by Rob Kaufman 10 52 Nov 23, 2012 05:03AM  
“Just because some people are fueled by drama doesn't mean you have to attend the performance.”
Cheryl Richardson

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.”
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

Rob Rosen Rob, hi. Hope all is well. Since we’re Goodreads friends, I thought I’d share my latest novel, Midlife Crisis, with you.

"Rob Rosen does madcap gay humor better than anyone else writing today. Midlife Crisis is no exception." - Neil Plakcy, author of The Mahu Investigations

I hope you can pick up a copy. As a special thanks for your time, feel free to message me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/therobrosen) for a free PDF copy of any of my other 9 novels, which you can find here: http://www.therobrosen.com

All the best,

Rob Rosen


Monika Merry Christmas Rob!
