Reader InBox, part II

Every now and then, I like to post some letters that I receive from readers of my novels. Here's a recent letter from a reader in Connecticut after he finished my first novel, Boston Boys Club (I can't believe that my baby, err, book, turns five years old this April)
Gracias Danny!

Good afternoon Johnny

While I LOVE to read gay literature (or reading in general) I have discovered many talented writers. Recently one of my best pal let me borrow your book Boston Boys Club and I have to say....that now you have a #1 fan here in CT!

I LOVE the interactions between all your characters and how you added depth to each and every one of them.

I have to confess that I saw myself in Rico with a wall around his heart but at the end love conquered!

Anyway, just wanted you to know that you know have a #1 fan here in CT!

Con mucho carino

Better Living

Here's an interview I did with one of Boston's most famous news anchors, Liz Walker, who left the TV news business to produce programming that focuses on better health and living.
Walker was the first black anchor to helm an evening newscast in Boston 30 years ago.
Here is a previous profile I wrote for The Globe on Walker when she transitioned from TV anchor to ordained minister

Reader InBox 2012

This was a nice email I received for the start of the New Year about my novel, Miami Manhunt. I love hearing from my book readers because more often than not, my books can be like messages in a bottle bobbing somewhere out there in this great big world. It's not everyday that people take the time to write authors after they read their work and it's nice to know how far away the books are being read and that my messages are being received. So thank you again Louise in New Castle, UK for reading and writing back.

Hi Johnny,
My name is Louise and I am from the UK and just read your book. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it and read it all day, yesterday Jan 1st 2012. I loved all 3 characters. I loved Ray and his twin also! I have twins myself, but mixed set ones. I loved it at the end where Ray and Rasco have a heart to heart and Rasco tells him he felt left out when Ray met Ted. Loved Ted also in this book!

I loved the relationship between Rasco and Cindy also. You made them such a cute couple. I really would like to add that I loved that Ray and Ronnie and Ted and Jergin didn't rush into sex the night they 1st met and how they all knew it was the start of something special.


I just wanted to say to you, how much I enjoyed it.
Regards
Louise
