#BookSky I couldn’t have asked for a better book event! I was in conversation with the insightful and talented @bmanuel.bsky.social in front of a warm crowd @skylightbooks.bsky.social The gay cruising ghosts of Griffith Park were with us in spirit.
#BookSky My heart beamed during the discussion and signing for “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Library in DC. Many thanks to Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey, @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social, @capitalpridedc.bsky.social, and @loyaltybooks.bsky.social!
#BookSky Long ago around the turn of the millennium, I lived in DC and attended @georgetownuni.bsky.social. (See photos 2-4.) I wouldn’t have dared dream that I’d return one day for a book event organized by @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social, @capitalpridedc.bsky.social, & @loyaltybooks.bsky.social

There are authors who as a matter of principle don’t read reviews of their novels. Then there is me. I read EVERYTHING. I can’t resist. (Could you abstain from reading reviews of your work?) Fortunately, “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” has met with favorable notices. Spread the word. #BookSky
SIGNED COPIES of “There’s Only One Sin Hollywood” are available at Octavia’s Bookshelf and @vromansbookstore.bsky.social in Pasadena! #BookSky
Jelani Alladin is the perfectly cast narrator for the #audiobook of “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood.” I am so excited for the world to hear his performance when it gets released tomorrow. #BookSky

Today is my 47th birthday! Family members, friends, and well-wishers have asked me what I want for my birthday. What can they do that would make an impact in my life? How could they support my most cherished dreams? Is there some link in bio that could lead the way? Alas, I can’t think of anything…
Somehow I have never had a book event in #Atlanta. This egregious oversight will be rectified at Two Best Friends Cafe & Books on 6/14 at 2pm, when I will be reading and signing copies of my new novel, “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood.” I will also be in conversation with Dr. Daniel Black #BookSky
“There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” is meant to be a novel that readers can get up close and personal with. So when you get your copy, don’t be afraid to crack the book’s spine, strip off its cover, or dog-ear its pages. “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” comes out June 2nd.
I just blush and my heart races - whenever I see a friend reading my book. And there’s no better example of the joy and pleasure I feel in those instances than these photos of my winsome pal Jesse McCloud. #QueerBooks
#BookSky I’m excited to return to #Chicago for the release of “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood” at Call & Response Books on Thursday, June 11! I’m sure to have a stimulating and fun conversation with the astute and engaging @michaellaborn.bsky.social RSVP - www.eventbrite.com/e/book-talk-...

A lot of my youth was torridly misspent in #SanFrancisco, so the city holds a warm place in my heart. And that’s just one of the reasons why I’m looking forward to marking the release of “There’s Only One Sin in Hollywood" @greenapplebooks.bsky.social on June 3 at 7pm. #booksky RSVP - tr.ee/pZO9Cx
