BLURB: For a relationship to work, it is not just love which is demanded. Resolve is, too. Cole has his senior year of college and a photography business to worry about, so he could really do without the multiple sessions with physiotherapists his parents force him to go to. It leaves little room to consider romance as a choice for him. Pool instructor and avid swimmer Justin has always been his twin’s shadow. Where Aaron goes, he follows. He may not have much of a social life outside of his twin, but he loves his job and all the extra swim time he gets. He doesn’t think that he’s lacking anything. Then Justin’s booked for a photo shoot with Cole. Being together, as right as it feels, also means they’ll have to come face to face with their belief systems. They must find the resolve to be their own person, or they could lose it all –themselves included. Resolve is the 2nd book of the Demands series. Although they can be read as stand-alones, characters from previous books wi...

We - A.M. Leibowitz, Emily Alter and me (Debbie McGowan) - got together and interviewed each other today. Here's the result! ~ QUESTION 1 ~ Amy Okay, so how's the weather? Emily Cold. I’m freezing and I don’t like it. Amy Cold and gloomy here. Debbie It's a typical mid-autumn day - sunny, not quite warm enough to go out without a cardy. Amy Sun would be nice! It's supposed to warm up a few degrees later...and then rain. Blah. ~ QUESTION 2 ~ Debbie OK. So, can I ask 'where in the world are you?' Amy Gah! Now I have the Carmen Sandiego theme song stuck in my head. I'm in western NY. I usually say I'm near Buffalo because people have heard of that city but not mine. I'm really in Rochester. Debbie gone to look up Carmen Sandiego theme That's so great! Emily Spain, a city (cough cough town) in the north (you know, the part of Spain which is always completely ignored). Debbie The top comment on the Carmen Sa...

Well, author Emily Alter wins the prize for the fastest time of getting me from 'the MC seems like a nice guy' to 'what the hell is he doing?!' :D Emily's a new-to-me author of LGBT+ fiction and fellow psychologist, and we met via the QSF group on Facebook . I'm currently reading Emily's recent release, Who Loves You ; I'm a couple of chapters in and enjoying it very much so far. Kudos to the author for delving straight into mental health - realistically and, I think, respectfully. I've had a few encounters similar to Ben's. Very well captured. Also, Julian sounds like an awesome dude - cheese, mushrooms and anchovies in sandwiches. I think Julian and I could make beautiful suppers together. OK, back to it. I'm about to meet Claude! I think they're non-binary. (Yay!) Guess I'll find out soon enough. I'll do the full review once I've finished it, although I'm a slow reader with a lot of books on the go, so it migh...
