The Glamorous Life Of A Writer
As a novelist, the three main questions I get asked are:
1) What’s your writing process?
2) Where do you get your ideas for your books?
3) When was the last time you showered?
Let’s tackle these one at a time.
What’s your writing process?
When I first start a novel, I spend a few weeks picking my nose and staring at the blinking cursor on my laptop screen. Meanwhile, I drink a few gallons of tea, sta Read more of this blog post »

"I read and enjoyed all Yates' books so far and this one was no exception. It's somewhere between magical realism and something fantasy-ish and although that's not my favorite genre I really enjoyed this book. It's got the famous Bart Yates' snark, ro"

The Very Long, Very Strange Life of Isaac Dahl:
"Emotional without being heartbreaking, this was a charming read with fantastic characters. I truly loved the format of each chapter being one day every eight years. I will definitely read more from Bart Yates. I saw this novel recommended by a book t"

"Bart Yates takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions, ranging from happy to sad and everything in between. The story is based on the diary of fictious Isaac Dahl. Each chapter is approximately 12 years apart, yet they overlap just enough to ma"

| A.V. Shener has become my go-to author for classy gay erotica, with steamy sex scenes, interesting characters, and intricate plots that veer from darkness to light and always keep me guessing. END SCENE is a great addition to Shener's oeuvre. The vil ...more | |

“I should probably apologize for how much I swear, but fuck it. I've read that some people think swearing shows a lack of imagination and a limited vocabulary, but sometimes "darn" and "poop" and "oh heck" just don't cut it. Besides, swearing is kind of fun.”

“Love attacks. It sneaks up like a pride of lions or a pack of hyenas and eats your heart out while you watch. Love is the bully on the playground who takes your lunch money and gives you a black eye in return, the arsonist who burns your house down with you in it, the witch who lures you into her home with candy and boils you alive for dinner. Love is raw, and violent, and instantaneous. You don’t fall in love; you get trampled by it.”

“Where does a child of mine get all that hair, I wonder? Arthur’s not exceptionally hirsute, and the men on my side of the family are as bald as potatoes. I must have had an affair with a gorilla before he was born, but you’d think I’d remember something like that, wouldn’t you? ... Be a dear and remind me to leave my brandy flask at home the next time I visit the zoo.”
