Today she is giving us book recommendations which I fully plan to take advantage of soon. So, now, here is JP Barnaby...

Book Recommendations
As an author, I don’t review other authors because I don’t
feel comfortable doing so, but I do recommend books that I love. The m/m genre
has exploded in recent years making it hard to separate the exceptional from
the mediocre. The definitions of exceptional and mediocre are, of course,
subjective—but there are a selection of books that have made me catch my breath
while reading, and I’d like to share them with you (my own books are included
in this list because if I didn’t find them exceptional, I wouldn’t allow them
to be published):

Room at the Top by Davitt & Snow

You’ll notice that there are really no fantasy, sci-fi, or
historicals on this list because I’m not a fan of the genres. It’s nothing
against them, they just aren’t subjects I enjoy reading. I’m mostly a fan of
contemporaries, though there are some exceptions if the blurb captures my
attention. So, hats off to these authors, especially Cameron Dane and J. M.
Snyder who are two of my auto-buy authors. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment
and fantasies these books have produced.
If you have other books that you think I’ll like, please put
them in the comments because I’m always looking for suggestions for great books
to read!

About J. P. Barnaby
As a bisexual woman,
J.P. is a proud member of the GLBT community both online and in her small town
on the outskirts of Chicago. A member of Mensa, she is described as brilliant
but troubled, sweet but introverted, and talented but deviant. She spends her days
writing software and her nights writing erotica, which is, of course, far more
interesting. The spare time that she carves out between her career and her
novels is spent reading about the concept of love, which, like some of her
characters, she has never quite figured out for herself.

LITTLE BOY LOST - Series
Little Boy Lost is a coming of age story about two
teenage boys—Brian McAllister and Jamie Mayfield—growing up gay in rural
Alabama. The six book series chronicles their lives as they navigate through
peers, parents, and porn, desperately searching for the perfect combination of
circumstances in which they can be together. Through their journey, they find
friends, pain, acceptance, loss, and most importantly, themselves.
July

Little Boy Lost series for free on their site (http://www.DreamspinnerPress.com)
and books 2-5 at 20% off in celebration of the release of the final book,
Sacrificed.
Reviews for Little Boy Lost
This is a compulsively readable book. I sat down
with it the other day, intending just to skim it for this re-review, but within
a few pages I was pulled completely into the story just like I was last year.
Brian and Jamie are wonderful characters, beautifully drawn and realized. They
experience the wonder and excitement of their first love, going through each
step: a touch, a kiss, an embrace, and more. At the same time, they are
terrified of what might happen to them should anyone find out about their
relationship. They live in a very small town in Alabama where faggot jokes and
homophobia are the norm. How do they reconcile their feelings for each other
with the reality of the time and place in which they are living? – JesseWave
What this author does in ABANDONED is just amazing,
it is a pure and honest kind of writing that bares the soul of a seventeen, going
on eighteen year old. It offers the worst of circumstances in which various
forms of love can ignite, nourish and inspire Brian on his journey. I never
expected to experience such a strong connection to the person Brian is. I’m
still amazed by it and savoring it every chance I get. ABADONED blew me away as
J.P. Barnaby continues the story of memorable characters who just go for your
heart. This is just about as good as it gets in the M/M genre! – Leontine’s
