Making Connections discussion

Hi, I'm Kathleen Hayes! I have two stories out right now. Both are free on goodreads or smashwords: Broken and Christmas Tradition!

My blog is Romancing the Word. This is a blog dedicated to the reading, writing, and review of m/m romance stories. I have two weekly posts, Sunday Snogs and Blurbs of the Week (these are book reviews). On a more irregular (but would love to become more regular) basis I host giveaways, interviews, excerpts, or guest author spots of any kind you think of.

I'll keep this thread updated with what I am up to and if you ever want to be a guest on my blog email me at kchayes54@gmail.com or PM here on goodreads! Thanks. =)

thanks Kathleen, I am going to take a look at your blog.

@Tana - thanks. =)

Today's Friday First Kiss is a the fulfillment of my giveaway of a custom ficbit during my 12 Days of Christmas Extravaganza.

Courtney won and requested that I revisit Jared and Robbie from Peace and perhaps show their first public kiss.

If you haven't read Peace just click on the link above and read it before you read this one!

Peace Part 2
Jared and Robbie go to visit Jared's family for the first time since he got back from Iraq. How will Jared deal with the stress and can he finally admit to what is going on between him and Robbie?

I am starting a new thing this week: Music Monday!!! Stop by to see what all I am listening to and what kind of crazy music videos I can find to post. =) It is a linky blog hop so you can link through to other authors and blogs all doing Music Monday AND if you have your own blog, just add it to the linky tool to participate!!

Click here for more fun than Monday should be. =)

What do you think about the internet censorship debate going on right now? Let me know here.

Due to a change in my schedule I have replaced Friday First Kisses with Sunday Snogs!! This week's snog is posted!! Click below to check it out. =)

Difficult Realizations
Colin has just realized he is gay and is doing his best to fend off the attentions of his overzealous, female, lab partner. His best friend, Ryan, walks in at just the right moment to save Colin from unwanted advances and what started as a ruse, grows into something more.

Is there a couple from one of my First Kisses that you wish you could read more about? Was there a story you read that you felt I just left hanging? Is there an MC you just fell in love with and can't live another day without?

Then go check out a poll I just posted on my blog and let me know. I will do my best to give the highest scorers some more page time!!!
