Happy Gay Friday: Short Vacation at the Blog

This is going to be my view next week: the desert of Egypt. :) Or something like this…
The above picture is actually one of my husband’s that he took when he was in Egypt a few years ago. I’ve never been there before; it’s going to be my first time.

Lis reports: UK Meet 2012 in Brighton

The Hotel

Fantastic, brilliant, fabulous, fun, thoughtful, thought-provoking, intense, interesting, wicked awesome, cool, marvelous, terrific, sweet, mind blowing and phenomenal. Those are just some of the words that come to mind when I think back to the [fill in all of the above] weekend at the UK Meet in Brighton.

Now sitting on my comfy couch with good country music and sipping a cup of tea, it’s not easy just what to put in this post without it filling ten pages.

Backblurb:

Love lights even the darkest soul.

A killer's moral compass rarely points true, and among made men, being gay is a capital crime. But Silvio Spadaro, deadly prodigy and heir to a Family fortune, is determined to find his own way at the feet of the man he loves or by the barrel of a gun no matter the dangers or costs.

Stefano Marino lives a comfortable some might even say enviable life. As a mob boss at the top of the food chain, he has it all: money, respect, a beautiful wife he loves as much now as the day they wed. But he also has a turf war on his hands, and far too soft a heart for this dark business.

Backblurb:
Dead broke and newly homeless, Tallis Carrington is on the walk of shame to end all walks of shame. Back to Rock Bay, where he’d once ruled as high school aristocracy with his band of jocks, and tormented a freshman named James Barry. Until a scandal reduced his family's name to little better than a curse word. He needs a job, and fast, so he can put the town in his rearview mirror once again. But the people of Rock Bay haven’t forgotten him, or the kid he used to be.
