Rhys Ford is an award-winning author with several long-running LGBT+ mystery, thriller, paranormal, and urban fantasy series, including Murder and Mayhem, a 2016 LAMBDA finalist. She is published by Dreamspinner Press and DSP Publications.
Dreamspinner Press’ authors were asked if they could provide a kind of anniversary short story to celebrate their fantastic Sexy Six.
So… I tossed a Cole and Jae into the mix… from the poll you all took.
Here’s the link to the blog where the stories are being posted.
Please stop in and keep tabs on what is being launched because there are some damned smexy stories coming from the DSP stable and damn the talent there rocks.
I love vampires. I hate vampire books. *nods* Yeah, bear with me. Nothing is new. Nothing is different and sometimes, it just gets too… Wuthering Heights. But dudes, this is Lou Harper and there’s a twist and some humour to this one.
Enter the Giveaway. I’m not because I just flat out bought it. *grins*
This pretty much sums up how I feel about readers. This is a sign I could use on my blog for readers. Authors should remember this and hold it fast to their hearts. Readers are the most important visitors to our works. They are.
WOOOOOOT! My year has hit.My books are discounted in celebration of DSP’s anniversary. Check out the authors that share my year! Sooooo many. And so many are friends. Woooot!
And congrats and happies to all those who share it with me.! Thanks to Dreamspinner for a great run and may we have many more years together. *HUGS*
With all sincere heartfelt kudos, I cannot say enough about the people behind the banner. They make us all look good and work their damned butts off doing so. Every single one of us named on that site owes so much to the men and women who work *AND* own Dreamspinner. I’m looking at you over there, Elizabeth. *grins*
It’s also the faith and patronage of the readers who have brought us all along. Without you, I would be nothing but a pixel blip and hope. You all rock. And thank you. So so much. Thank you.
The words below the line are taken from an article. These are not my words. But oh, they are my intent. I look forward to the day when someone says… I’m gay and the answer is not anger, not hatred, not violence but love.
I also hope for the day when saying I love other men or other women isn’t a cause for pause and reflection. I hope for one day that it just doesn’t fucking matter because really, we’ve got so much to do as human beings… for one another… for the place we live in… for the land we’re on… for the species around us.
We have the greatest power given to any one creature… the ability to change things for the better. Please, in your day, do ONE thing to carry our destiny of bringing happiness to our existence ONE step forward.
Thank you. Rhys Ford.

Over 100 South Korean LGBT people and allies star in a YouTube video in support of gay rights released this week (Monday 13 May).
‘[The song] conveys the conviction that, just as LGBT people affirm and recover their lives and selves despite countless challenges and hardships, all people can overcome injustices in reality and become friends, which will lead to greater love,’ said a statement from Korean Gay Men’s Human Rights Group Chingusai.
‘Though our society fails to understand LGBT people now, viewing them from a discriminatory perspective,’ said Chang-won Pyo, a professor, in the YouTube video. ‘One day it will come to acknowledge and understand homosexuals and other sexual minorities, in step with the global trend.’
The celebrity to come out in South Korea, Hong Seok-cheon, also stars in the video saying:
‘I hope homosexuals will no longer be ashamed of who they are but lead their lives proudly and openly.’
Lesbian singer Ziihiion joined the recording of the song after hearing that anti-discrimination legislation was stalled by conservative Christian lawmakers recently. ‘All people, all loves, all relationships must be respected equally. I support LGBT rights,’ she said.
