When a new couple moves in next door, the two gay men capture Grant's fascination immediately. Mark and Tony are guys, just guys, and clearly in love. Grant finds it appealing enough that he begins to question not only his marriage of twenty years, but the direction of his entire life.
B.G. Thomas lives in Kansas City with his husband for nearly fifteen years and was legally married in 2014. Ehey have a fabulous little dog, Sarah Jane. He sees his wonderful daughter just often enough to miss her when she isn't there! He has a romantic soul and is extraordinarily lucky to have many friends.
He loves science fiction & fantasy, horror, romance and more, has gone to SF&F conventions his entire adult life, and been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. He is a “Star Trek” and Joss Whedon fan from way back!
He has written all his life, it is where he finds his joy. In the 90’s, he wrote for gay magazines, but stopped because they wanted him to cut out story and romance, and write only sex.
Then through a few friends, he discovered the growing market of M/M Romance and was thrilled beyond words. FINALLY, a way to write the stories he always wanted to write. Adventure, romantic comedy, science fiction, and more, but with gay characters. And he wouldn't have to fade to black! People wanted to read the erotic as well. Plot and sex! HURRAY!
B.G. Thomas very much believes in The Law of Attraction and that "thoughts become things." A lot of things all started happening at once. He heard the words, "Leap, and the net will appear," and something re-kindled inside. He sent out a story and was thrilled when it was almost immediately accepted.
He believes that we are divine expressions of the Universe, each and everyone. "It is never too late!,” he states. “Pursue your dreams! They will come true!"
I do get so tired of the idea that a gay man is unable to be monogamous, and that seems to come across with Tony and Mark. Helen, the token wife, is too stereotypical as well. Just didn't work for me, yet while I didn't like the characters or the story, I did like the writing style and will try this author again.
This was a pleasure to read from start to finish. The characters are fresh and their isn't a dull moment in this story, the words used to convey the feelings of the characters really can be felt through out the entire story, the only flaw --- way to short a story. The characters should be explored more in deepth in future stories to futhur progess and evolve these characters, so that us readers can see how they manage there everyday lives and everyday problems.
B.G. Thomas is a very talented storyteller, he weaves his characters into classic problems with emotion and humanity. I look forward to more books by B.G. and I hope more stories featuring the characters from 'Just Guys'!
