I'm excited to announce that "Caught" spent a month on Dreamspinner's Bestsellers list!!!
BLURB: When Daniel's invalid landlady asks for his help preventing a possible suicide from the clifftop near their home, he doesn't want to disappoint her. So he grits his teeth, picks up his camera, and goes out to play the Chinese tourist. He's done it before: befriended the lonely, lured them away from the danger zone, acted as a safety net. This time, the figure staring out to sea is way out of his league, his complete opposite, the sort of man Daniel's always admired from afar. Then the attractive Taylor turns the tables and lures Daniel out from behind the safety of his camera, and as Daniel finds himself fighting off an attraction he can't deny, he realizes he's in danger of being caught. Will the camera expose truths about himself that he wants to keep hidden? Click on photo: for link to the First Chapter. | The Go Between
My latest short short story (m/m/m) appears in the "25 Days of Christmas" Anthology with Silver Publishing and is available as a stand alone ebook. Reese Dante did a great job for the cover, not sure my hero Jake is as buff as Jimmy Thomas, probably wishes he was, but, hey, after Sam gets finished with him who knows what he will look like!

Blogging at DreamspinnerTo celebrate the release of "Caught", Dreamspinner invited me to host a "Meet the Author" day.
As well as posting an excerpt, I shared some of the stories about the writing of "Caught" and got some great feedback from readers and other authors. Catching your Eye with the Cover of Caught So often you hear the complaint that too many stories feature white Anglo characters. I wholeheartedly concur. However, after writing “Caught” and the hours I spent searching for a suitable photo for the cover I can understand one aspect why that might be. Admittedly, the fact that my character, Daniel Ho, has long hair, made the job extra difficult. I have to thanks my Facebook friend, Kei Chan, whose daily suggestions inspired me to keep looking as long as I did. I literally scanned through hundreds on the different stock photo sites before I eventually discovered my guy. I’d seen him in other poses but they always included weapons and markings. In them, it’s almost as if he’s hiding his beauty. .... (click on topic for more Lightening the Tone with humor and sex ... although the subject matter underlying “Caught” is serious, I’ve tried to inject some humor or at least lightness into the story. It’s not as easy as it may seem. What makes us laugh? For some, it’s slapstick humor, the “Funniest Home Videos” where a person or animal comes a cropper. For some it’s witty word play. Some people hate one and love the other. Some don’t like any, but that’s another story...... (click on topic for more) |

| MARDI GRAS - OUT NOW!Click here to read an excerpt.
My first review has been posted at Goodreads (5 stars): You know that big sigh you take at the end of a really good book? After finishing "Mardi Gras" that is exactly what I took, the big happy "what a great book" sigh. Often when reading a new or "new to me" author, I have no idea what to expect, especially if it is an author's first published book. I'm a US born and bred reader so this can also lead to certain expectations. I know what the words "Mardi Gras" mean here. Even though I am over 939 miles (1511 km) from New Orleans, when I hear those words I think "party, parades, beads and masks". I also think "Fat Tuesday" and Lent. In reading "Mardi Gras" I learned something about what those words mean to Australians. I also learned more about the country itself than I previously knew. Other comments from the 4 and 5 star reviews on Goodreads: It's a delightful journey of discovery, taken during Sydney's Mardi Gras. It is a short quick read about a somewhat cynical 50 year old who finds his assumptions challenged by a young man who is passionate about life. The ending was just perfect. I'm looking forward to more from this author. I read a lot of m/m romance books, and I love them. The best ones touch the heart as well as spark the imagination. "Mardi Gras" not only did both of those things for me but it left a lasting impression in my soul. If you enjoy m/m romance, then read this one. You will be very glad you did. An intelligent romance, an excellent read. You will have a great time at Mardi Gras. This tale was a bit of an education for me. I found myself taking a stroll figuratively through the history of the gay movement. Mardi Gras, by A.B. Gayle, is a blend of political history and personal exploration. It delivers a multilayered story with intriguing characters, a complex message, and an interesting background that kept me turning pages and had me surfing the internet for information. It’s more a meeting of two different minds, different worlds and different ages; but even if they are so different, there is something that links them, being gay and believing in a meeting of souls. |
Review
Reversal by A.B.Gayle was absolutely hilarious. Watch how everything can go wrong when wealthy and hardworking computer programmer who is bored while working on the space station gets a Christmas present from his caring mother and watch how a lot of things can go right too.
(Sirius11214) at Amazon.com Reversal (Gayle): My favorite of the bunch. A sci fi story involving a bored young man doing solo duty on the family station. His mother sends him a discounted model of a cyborg maid and hilarity ensues. This is an enjoyable romp as Sebastian tries to figure out how to train and improve his cyborg, and finds himself being trained and improved in the process. One is left without a clear picture of who is the master and who is the servant in this arrangement. Lots of funny moments. I read it twice. 5 stars Kate @ Goodreads |
