About the author

I am a straight great-grandmother living alone with my cat, Cleopatra, in an independent living facility for the elderly. I have four children, eleven grandchildren, and one great-grandson.

I started writing gay love stories in 2003 after meeting over 3,000 gay men on line who educated me to the plight of the LGBT community in America.

I’ve been told that because I believe gays can be Christian I’m going to Hell – well, I’d rather be there with my gay friends than in Heaven with some of the people who judge them.

Reviews

[Beck · Rating 1 out of 5]

I really wanted to like this one after reading the blurb and reviews but I just couldn't finish it. There is nothing major wrong with the characters or story line but I detested the writing style. I found the stilted, almost amateurish style so unpleasant to read that I gave up at the 40% mark. I have tried to read this book 3 times now and will sadly not try again. If, like me, you are intrigued by the synopsis and reviews, I would strongly suggest reading the sample first. The sample is a true representation of the writing style of the book and if you don't mind it, you will probably enjoy the book.

Although this book by AT Weaver also shares some of the writing issues as in First Impressions, in my opinion, the book is saved by one of the characters - Andrew. Andrew has the fiesty personality that appealed to me. He saves the story hands down.

this book was written by a very dear friend. I'm even mentioned in the dedication.
