Rick R. Reed has been a valued contributor to this website for a number of years. I am one of his biggest fans and I have been reviewing his books since 2008. When I asked Rick to write a few pieces for our series Ins and Outs of M/M Romance a couple years ago he was most gracious and produced a number of helpful articles for new authors. I can’t recall any time that I asked Rick to write an essay for the site when he has turned me down. Now he has accepted a new challenge. He has agreed to be a regular Author Contributor on the site starting this week, joining Josh Lanyon, Jordan Castillo Price, Nicole Kimberling and Ethan Day. Aunt Lynn, Christian and I wish to welcome Rick in his new capacity and hope you will too..
The boyz in the Hot Tub and the Friday Guys are also looking forward to having Rick on board and checking his credentials. They believe there are too many hot men on the site with fake cred. and that it’s their job to screen out any imposters :whistle:
Most of you already know Rick but here’s his official biography:
Rick R. Reed is all about exploring the romantic entanglements of gay men in contemporary, realistic settings. While his stories often contain
elements of suspense, mystery and the paranormal, his focus ultimately returns to the power of love. He is the author of dozens of published novels, novellas, and short stories. He is a two-time EPIC eBook Award winner (for Orientation and The Blue Moon Cafe). Lambda Literary Review has called him, “a writer that doesn’t disappoint.”
Rick lives in Seattle with his husband and a very spoiled Boston terrier. He is forever “at work on another novel.”
