A couple weeks ago, I went to Murray Hill’s book signing and discussion at the Westport Public Library. Westport is a fancy, little town by the New York border, an hour and a half from my other side of the Connecticut tracks. Jeff Hiller moderated and it felt like having laughs with friends. “Showbiz: My…
When I saw Jaclyn Smith was releasing an autobiography this month, a quick Google search discovered none of my usual haunts were having signings but Bookends (211 E Ridgewood Ave) was and I bought a ticket before knowing where Ridgewood, New Jersey was (luckily just over the New York border). Not knowing about traffic or…
Every night I strip down to my skivvies, crawl into bed with my first love, and run my fingers up and down his spine. Obviously, I’m talking books, what else would you expect from someone who uses the word skivvies? It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited in bed (literarily speaking) thanks to…
What if the “Clueless” crew were less concerned about giving makeovers and more focused on surviving Coachella as cannibals? Or if the “Mean Girls” became zombies who just stepped off a Pride float? Then you’d have Kayla Cottingham’s book “This Delicious Death.” In my gay opinion, it’s a fun and unusual horror read, telling the…
All I know about tennis is grunting people with rackets try to get a fuzzy yellow ball over a net until someone hits the net or the ball goes over the white line, then the court-side lifeguard in the tall chair tells you who won. I know historic players like Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean…
Chip Pons’ new book, “Dearly Departed” is shadows and spice and everything nice. A tale as old as time, Levi the small-town florist meet cutes and falls in love with local mysterious funeral director Hayden. It’s obviously a fairy tale because who ever heard of gay funeral directors and florists…oh also, Hayden is actually mythical…
I’m not a murder mystery sort of gay and don’t like working hard when it comes to my entertainment, please don’t make me figure out who did it. If I’m thinking that hard, I better be getting paid. Hell, even at my job, I only pretend to think that hard. However, “The Disaster Gay Detective…
Beverly Hills 90210 was my go-to show in the 90’s, even now, give me a teen drama any time. If I wasn’t home to watch that week’s episode, I sure as hell had my VCR (yes, I’m that old) set. It holds a special place in my heart because it’s the first show that my sister and…
Tuesday Felicia Day’s new graphic novel, “The Lost Daughter Of Sparta,” hit stores and she kicked off her book tour at An Unlikely Story in Plainville, MA. An Unlikely Story was a great choice because it’s a quaint little bookshop in the middle of nowhere and who doesn’t love supporting indie businesses. Felicia was in…
Back in August, this story of gratitude, luck and being at the right place at the right time began. I was on my phone at work (what else does one do at work?) when I saw Annie Lennox tickets just went on sale for her two October nights in New York City discussing and signing…
