I really love interviews. It's so much fun to interview new authors about their books, and readers about what they love to read. Where would be the best place for us to post interviews with DSP writers and readers? I just interviewed Feliz about her great short story, Desert Falcon, for instance. It would be great to have a place to put that for people to read.

I'd like to see a thread of what are you reading now. Kind of like the first book/last book you've read thing. But each month have a thread like. What are you reading in March. I find that lots of people get their book suggestions for their TBR List by what others are reading :)

The last book I read was Ethan Day's As You Are. I saw an excerpt of it on Friday's LGBT chat at LoveRomanceCafe. I liked the sound of it, bought it for my Kindle, and read it the next day. That sort of story, where one roommate is in love with the other (clueless) one rings my chimes. I know angst is a big draw for a lot of readers, but too much gets on my last nerve. This book had just the right amount.

And best of all, I know I'll be rereading it again soon.

"Book I'm looking forward to most"? :)

"Authors that should be locked in a room and forced to write 24/7"?

Ralph: NOOOO. Oh, you're not talking about me? WHEW!

what you look for in a book? What type of books would u like to read? What readers see to much or not enough of?

I'm willing to do an interview! There you go; how does a new DSP author score an interview?

"If you like this (author, title, story type), then I think you would like..."

At the M/M Romance group, there is a chatroom set up for author chats. Would you consider that here?

A Who or What's new thread. New authors/books

I'd love to see where DP will be making an appearance - conferences, etc. I know that DP will be represented at GayRomLit, but I'd like to know the other events they will be sponsoring/attending.

Maybe it's on the website, but I'd love to see it here.

Great idea! I've started a thread. I'll post more updates over the next few days, because we have a busy couple of months coming up!

I so agree with Sarah. I sometimes think authors would do better if they talked to their readers mores. Listen to what we want or would like to see more of, I still see story lines not touch like in main stream books.

This is not a suggestion for the group, but I need help finding something on the DP website. I just figured I can get it answered faster here.

I'm sure I'm over looking it, but I'm trying to find the how to send a gift card to someone so they can buy books from the DP site. Is there a DP gift card I'm supposed to purchase or a way to put credits into their account as a surprise gift? Thanks.

go to the DPS site, they sale gift cards or you can buy it and send send it as a gift

Thanks because I must be a ditz lately because I still can't find it.
