Tim Smith, aka Timothy Warren, is a husband, author, and co-host of Johnny Has the Keys — a Horror and Sci-Fi movie — podcast. He writes about gay characters in m/m romance as well as the horror genre under the name T.W. Smith. He lives in the Atlanta suburbs with his husband, mother-in-law, and their many furry, four-legged children.

In addition to Tim’s books and his creative process, we discuss:

  • How classic gay literary fiction of the last century intersects with contemporary MM romance
  • the imposter syndrome and self-sabotage that many writers experience
  • Point of view
  • Writing faster using the Pomodoro Technique
  • And the rhythm of writing great dialogue

Sequels : Kelly Fox Returns

Gay Romance Show - MM Author Podcast

play

05/26/20 • 35 min

I interviewed Kelly Fox at the start of the year, January 2020, when she made a goal to write and rapid release three books in a new series.

Ep 14 - Introducing Kelly Fox

She’s back to give us an update!

I interview a lot of more established authors on this show, but I also want to discover up and coming new talent for those of you who are readers.

And for those of you who are also new authors, I thought it would be cool to track the career of someone just starting to grow her author business.

Kelly Fox is a corporate training manager by day and author of contemporary gay romance by night. She curses too much, drinks exactly the right amount of red wine, and sleeps way too little. She's also lucky enough to live in Central Texas with her wife and three dogs, where the astonishing diversity of humans and landscapes and tattoo shops serve as her muse.

Neve Wilder is an author who writes the same way she reads: promiscuously, across multiple genres. Her favorite stories always contain an element of romance. Incidentally, this is also what she likes to write most of all. Slow-burners with delicious tension? Yes. Whiplash-inducing page-turners, also yes. And every flavor in between.

Gay Romance Show - MM Author Podcast - Audiobook Production with Narrator Kirt Graves

Audiobook Production with Narrator Kirt Graves

Gay Romance Show - MM Author Podcast

play

12/02/19 • 72 min

Kirt Graves is an audiobook narrator most known for his work in the MM Romance genre. His first audiobook (TJ Klune's Wolfsong) was featured as one of Audible's Five-Star Faves in November 2016. In addition to his work as an audiobook narrator, Kirt is a graphic artist, a podcast host, and an award-winning speech coach. He lives with his husband in Wisconsin and spends too many hours each week listening to political podcasts and watching cooking tutorials on YouTube.

Kirt and I talk about everything from the creative process, to the technology involved, to the importance of having authentic gay characters and voices in media.

If you’re a fan of audiobooks, this is a peek into the studio, behind the words ...

If you’re an author considering transitioning into audio, this is also a frank discussion of the cost of production that Kirt shares with prospective clients.

Michael Dean is a well-known, well-loved narrator in the MM romance genre.

As a narrator in multiple genres, he's produced over 450 audiobooks!

I’m not even going to attempt to name all the MM romance authors he’s worked with, because I just don’t want to leave anybody out. If you scroll through his website —voiceofMichealDean.com — you'll find a long list of the beloved authors he’s worked with, many of whom you will recognize.

Michael’s background and education as a performer are impressive and interesting — this interview has a lot of cool rabbit trails — and he shares some fascinating details about himself and his creative process.

This week I’m speaking with Charlie Novak, author of the queer romance series Off the Pitch and Roll for Love, as well as the standalone Strawberry Kisses.

We chat about how Charlie went from writing Supernatural fan fiction, to what she describes as "British fluff." We do a nerdy deep dive into her creative process, and, for the authors in the audience, we also discuss impostor syndrome and the value of having author friends.
