Happy Gay Friday & A Question

[image]
 
Let the weekend begin! I hope you enjoy this week’s gay couple.

I had the best M/M week I could wish for. I read and loved Tigers and Devils by Sean Kennedy, as my post yesterday proofs! I can’t stop declaring my love for this book and its narrator Simon :) So, one more time, if you haven’t read this book, go read it now, it’s fabulous!

I have a question for all the fellow lovers of this book, because I had a little convo on Twitter with Mr. Kennedy and a sequel was mentioned (I might have dropped the word)...
I would definitely read a sequel if there would be one released. My question is:
Would you want to read a sequel to Tigers and Devils or are you afraid that it might ruin it?

And another thing that popped up and I would love to know more about: Is the definite release date for Duty & Devotion by Tere Michaels announced yet? On the authors blog it said March, but no exact date yet…

Have a nice weekend!

  1. No! I don't want a sequel! IMHO, sequels have a better chance of being disappointing than not. And I hate it when books that are written to be freestanding are suddenly the starting point of a series.

    Sadly, the Loose ID website doesn't have any date, either.

  3. Sequel. Hmmm. Sean is a great writer but I'm just not sure what else there is to say about these guys. If it happens of course I'll read it, but I could live without it.

    Can't say for the others. Have a great weekend.

  4. I usually enjoy sequels if they're well done but I'm not sure in this case more is needed. On the other hand, if he writes it I will definitely read it.

    Thanks for the cookie! :)

  5. @Chris: Yeah a tiny little voice in my head is saying that as well, but still, I would read a sequel if Sean Kennedy wrote one, because I want more of Simon and Dec ;)

    Darn, I was counting on you for the insiders info about D&D...

  6. @Cecile: I have enough milk for you and me both, lol!

  7. @Tam: I'm not sure I can live without it ;) But I can always reread T&D of course!

  8. @Lily: Needed it's not, you're right. Because that would mean that T&D wasn't satisfying enough. But wanted yes :) Just because I would love to hear more about these characters.

  9. Oh, the cookie gets me all in a snuggly mood LOL I don't know about a sequel to T & D but I thought about a sequel to Butterfly Tattoo, I think that the power of such a story can (almost)never be duplicated. It is very rare that the sequel matches or supasses the original novel. So I'm going in re-read mode whenever i want to revisit the characters :)

  10. @Leontine: I know, I can always do that, but with these guys I also want to know how they are doing now. I just want more of them ;)

  11. ...no comment. Must get back to you on that one ;)

  12. @Blodeuedd: Okay, does that mean you're gonna read Tigers and Devils? :D

  13. I'm halfway through T&D and I'm loving it!

  14. Yay, I'm happy you like it too, Eyre! Looking forward to your thoughts on it :)

  15. I haven't read Tigers and Devils yet. I've heard good things. It's on my wish list.

  16. Thanks so much for the shout-outs, and I'm so happy you liked the book!

    Regarding the sequel - the problem I have is Simon is still in my head, and he keeps filling me in on things that have been happening to him. But I never intended TaD to be a series. Dash and Dingo and the steampunk I've been working on have from the start intended to be ongoing adventures. So I kind of feel like if I was to revisit TaD I could ruin it.

    Still, Simon just won't shut up.

  17. @Sean: You're welcome and thanks for visiting my blog but most of all for writing Tigers and Devils! :)

    I see your point, books that are written as a stand alone maybe should stay that way... In the case of T&D I'm not so sure though ;)
    Doesn't it mean something that Simon won't shut up? :D
