Posy’s goals, inspirations, thoughts on life, and favorite office supplies.
Yesterday I went to a friend’s house to spend some time with her and to let our girls play. The girls decided to have a lemonade stand. Us big girls chose to drink Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy and play with wire. My friend is a jewelry designer. This is what I came up with. It was so much fun. Perfect day.
I’ve been coloring mandalas all day long to get me past my writer’s block. Coloring helps my mind just let go and mandalas make me concentrate on form and color rather than words. Drinking hard cider doesn’t hurt either.
On May 14, 2013 I signed my fifth-grade daughter out of school and drove to St. Paul, Minnesota so she could be part of history. Governor Mark Dayton signed the Marriage Equality bill into law. I met a friend there as well. She brought her six-year-old son for the same reason. This was history in the making and we wanted our kids to be there for this moment. This was big. We cheered and smiled and sat out in the super hot sun with sweat dripping down our backs, because this was important. Then we went downtown and celebrated. People were so happy. I’ve made very conscious choices about talking to…
I love to write because I get to create worlds and make characters do things I’d never be able to do. That includes being able to say all those wonderfully bitchy id things that rush though my head, that my superego always shoves aside and chooses to ignore so my ego can stay intact. Damn psychology, and fuck me for just using Freudian theory! I love to read too. I love being taken on a ride someone else planned for me. I love having tears ripped from me and laughter bubbling up. Right now, B.G. Thomas is making me laugh like a manic. I have a feeling, he will soon…
Minnesota Senate Approves Marriage Equality | Advocate.com. My beloved state did it. We passed marriage equality. WE DID IT! I remember feeling something similar to this, but it pales in comparison to how I feel right this second. In 1991 the Minnesota Twins won the World Series. I was in college and not paying much attention to the series at all until there was a dull roar that grew and grew to such a racket that I looked out my dorm room, abandoning my studies. The 3000+ students that went to my small college had poured out of their dorms and were running down the streets cheering and smiling and…
Watching a live event while tweeting can be super fun. I did that during the presidential debates last fall, on last Thursday I did it when the MN House debated marriage equality, and right now I’m tweeting about the same debate in the MN Senate. I’m connecting with people who are just as passionate about this issue as me. I’m “chatting” with locals and people who aren’t local who still give just as much of a damn about this as I do. That’s just plain cool! I love technology. If you want to follow me on Twitter, come on!
“Why do you write that?” I know I’m not the only female M/M romance writer to get that question. I’ve gotten it from super close friends more often than people who barely know me, though I recently got it from my seat mate on a plane too. It’s not an easy answer, at least not one that can be thrown out with a sassy quip, as much as I wish it could be. That would mean I didn’t answer the question truthfully. “Why not?” is the answer I often hear from other M/M writers. It’s quicker than what I’m about to say, that’s for sure. I’ve even answered that way…
In many ways, I’m not that typical writer living a quiet life of solitude. I’m quite social. Well, I’m social at times. I have an extremely social job where I’m paid to talk and spark great discussions in my parent education classes each day. At the end, I’m often exhausted and more than happy to shut up and go back inside my head to live surrounded by the dull roar in there. I like that noise better. My characters are also easier to deal with… most of the time. But I wonder if the tendency to live inside my head—my introversion—is what saves me from all the outward focus in…
Once I’m awake, I’m awake, so while my roommates dozed away, I hopped into the shower. Roommates? Yes. I’m at Dreamspinner Press‘s author conference. I’m sleeping in a bed with Jon Treadway and the gentle clicks of Jaime Samms‘ keyboard lulled me to sleep last night. It’s been great putting faces to all the names I’ve seen online for ages and even better to see that there’s this community of fairly like-minded people in the world. Fairly? Yes. Who wants a bunch of clones in a room? Imagine the bad jokes that could come out of that!
This book fit its title so perfectly—it was fresh, organic, unique, just a delight to read. I’d be hard pressed to say what I loved most about it–the setting, the characters, the writing…
This was a book about living. Posy has a knack of writing rip your heart out stories. She mends them and put them back, don’t worry. But getting through this book with dry eyes is not possible! Beautiful, angsty book!
This book is fabulous. The characters are fantastic. The storytelling is sublime. There isn’t anything about it that’s too much, or too little. It’s just…wonderful.
This was a wonderful story about healing and recovery, finding love and someone that believes and understands what the other is going through.
A very charming feel-good love story about finding your true self and getting a second chance at love.
The author captures the feel of a noisy, active family, close-knit and loving, all up against each other for the holiday get-together.
Please do yourself a favor and dive into this series immediately, as the journey is emotional, riveting and awe-inspiring.
A beautiful, deeply moving tale of people joining together to help ease the pain of ravaging life events. In doing so, they break the traditional views of what constitutes a “family” and become shining examples of love and acceptance. I highly recommend both books in the North Star series, and I look forward to reading the next installment with great anticipation!
I just adored this book. I really liked the characters, I found them so believable and loved watching their relationship develop. It’s not a long book, but it packs a heck of a punch. I highly recommend!
I loved this story, how transparent the characters were, and how real the tent city became for me. I recommend this to anyone who could use a smile and perhaps some inspiration of their own.
Cas and Marc’s chemistry is electric. If you are a reader who is a fan of hot man-on-man action, Stroke of Luck is worth reading just for the window scene!
If you’re looking for something deeper, something special and something truly passionate…grab this book!
I am sad to see this series end. But, Posy Roberts ended it absolutely exquisitely. Radiantly Recommended.
Beautifully written, poignant, emotional, and sexy. It was not as ‘light’ as Spark – which it obviously couldn’t be, due to the subject matter – but, was every bit as enjoyable.
You know that warm, tingly feeling you get when Christmas is near? You feel so light and there’s something different in the air you breathe? Well, this short story felt exactly like that for me.
Posy Roberts always effortlessly draws me into her stories. Her characters tend to be charming and fascinating, her descriptions are vivid and the dialogue sparkles. And when it comes to the sexy times…hot barely covers it.
Flare is the perfect ending to Posy Roberts’ North Star Trilogy, as it will leave you enchanted with the way things wrap up in the end. I am thrilled that Posy re-released this series!
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
Just like the first story, I could picture myself right there in the rainbow bus on the road with Jude and Hudson.
I highly recommend this story to fans of quiet, stoic men with poetic hearts and lovers of stories with happy endings.
I highly recommend reading all the books in the series, and I applaud Posy Roberts again for creating these subtle stories full of interesting, lovable characters and authentic, relatable life events.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story that will leave you with a smile on your face.
Farm Fresh is gorgeous, and the emotional impact will leave you gasping and aching for more.
Fusion brings us into the building stage of the relationship and as in real life, this is not always smooth and definitely not always easy. […] I enjoy the way the author gives voice to her characters, allows us to travel along with them as their lives change and experience their great joys as well as heartaches.
William and Nate – opposites attract is the perfect saying in this case. William relaxes his strict lines between his work and personal persona’s as he spends more time with Nate (Momo) allowing the relationship to blossom and deepen.
This is a fantastically gripping finale to a wonderful series. This book really did have it all
Picked Fresh is a tremendously gratifying story that shows extensive character growth and development, giving us a much deeper look into not just Hudson and Jude
This story is like taking a refreshing breath. It was beautifully written with very well liked characters. Bringing back the commune era, it brings us to what is happening with our planet right at this day and age, […] It brings back the long lost idea of Peace, Love, and Freedom. Totally refreshing!
This is a hot, hot short with a great backbone…
This is another one that I fully intend to keep on my kindle to read time and time again.
This book was not what I expected at all, in the best possible way. I feared a book filled with angst and despair but got a story about determination and hope.
All our favorite characters have some MAJOR “soul” development here.
This book was a really good read full of free love and hot sex. I honestly can’t say that I have ever read a book like it before and now I cannot wait to read the next in the series!
…this is a story about two people two needed each other building a life together through their ups and downs. It was tender and softly emotional rather than being a wild ride.
It’s a lovely uplifting short story, with realistic main characters who gained my sympathy and affection. Ethan’s family members are super too.
This series is fantastic, and I fell head over heels for these characters – Hugo especially.
This was a fantastic hurt/comfort story, emotional, sweet, angsty, hot, with awesome main and secondary characters and a very strong plot that I’m sure will remain with me for a long time.
I have to say that Momo: My Everything is my favorite (so far) and the one I do consider the author at her best. I’m giving this novella five stars.
Feathers From The Sky is a great holiday short story. The love in that small house with so many people crammed inside was obvious.
Sweet, enjoyable, hot and pleasurable. This was a lovely Sunday morning read.
Andrew conquered my heart. I feel like I know him well, the same way as I know a friend.
I’ve been waiting for this book since I read Fusion. It was worth the wait!!
I wanted to live in their world because through all the bad, they persevered and found the good, and it really is a series about the power of love. Outstanding series! One of the best by far.
Their sexual chemistry pops and sizzles…
They give a full picture of the history, with a ton of sweet moments and even a bit of heartache and angst, but explain the connection between the men. This allowed me to really feel as if I knew them, and made me cheer for them to find their way to a life together, despite the many obstacles they have to face.
Fall into you is a beautifully told romance filled with the many ups and downs of keeping a relationship together once the newness has worn off. I really enjoyed every minute of this book, and recommend it to those who love a realistically written read.
This is truly an outstanding story. I carried my Kindle everywhere with me…. All day. I refused to do anything until I finished.
This is how every romance should be, real, true, filled with feelings and emotions so powerful I was often left breathless.
The characters are very complex, and the family dynamic is so rich and fantastic. Feathers From The Sky is a gem; a really lovely holiday story.
The writing is brilliant, as is the plot, and the characters just jump off the page and straight into your heart!
It’s hot, cute and actually quite romantic, as what starts out as just a sex lead thong-a-thon between these two hot guys, turns out, over time, to be quite a sweet romance that ends with a pantytastic HEA.
[Hugo] could have walked away. He could have simplified his life, focused on himself and his career, and saved a ton of awkwardness, heartache, and strain. But he quickly becomes my favorite character because he does not… I’ve got tears on the edge of my eyelashes as I type that comment, but it is so true.
Set aside some time to read this because it will suck you in and you won’t be able to put it down. Posy Roberts will take you on a spectacular journey of love and discovery.
A great example to show that just because a character isn’t perfect, doesn’t mean they can’t find love and acceptance.
Fall Into You has put Posy Roberts on my list of authors to watch for. Not only did she tell a story that was sexy and dramatic and romantic, but it was also touching and immensely readable.
These guys have great chemistry and make a wonderful couple.
Feathers From the Sky is a fabulous story of love and acceptance. It’s a short and sweet, heartwarming and feel-good Christmas read.
Beck’s grieving process was pretty much spot on […] and the realism in Robert’s writing really impressed me.
You will laugh, you will cry and you will feel every emotion that these characters feel and you will come on the other side all the better for it!!
Posy creates two simple, real, down-to-earth men who need each other more than they realize, and the relationship between them is really fantastic.
I loved this!!! For a second installment, despite the heavy topic and the pain and the drama that ensued, this book was as close to perfection for me as possible.
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
This book is about one of the greatest losses that we may encounter. The loss of ourselves, of our identity, but it is also a book about hope and second chances. It is a book full of hope and optimism. Read it because it’s worth it.
Clearly [Posy] is talented and able to create characters we want to take into our hearts and love forever!
…feelings of hope and of loss and so much uncertainty, but they do eventually find their way.
This series is fantastic, and I fell head over heels for these characters – Hugo especially. Flare is the final installment in the trilogy, and Posy Roberts couldn’t have done a better job with this ending.
A sweet story with some very romantic moments that are also smoking hot.
This was cuteness and drama poured into a sweet comedy of errors crust, baked to perfection by crispy-fresh writing. A real holiday treat!
Analog to Digital is a guaranteed smile-inducing holiday read.
Wow, I am thoroughly impressed with this book. Posy Roberts definitely brings the emotions out of you.
I immediately fell in love with the two characters in this touching, romantic story and can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the North Star series.
We need more books like this. Ones that show body and sex-positive people in a way that will make you rethink any preconceived notions you might have.
[Beck’s] pain palpated from the pages. My tummy was tight and my eyes were wet as I read. It was so….real.
This is not your usual romantic story. It goes way beyond that. I had the impression I was there, in the book, living in alongside Gil and Keith. They felt so real, their story felt real and I’m sure that, for someone out there, this is not a story at all.
I love how the characters in this trilogy have evolved over the span of two novels.
One of the things that really got to me about this book is that it doesn’t glamourize homelessness. Nor does it gloss it over. We get what I think is a realistic look at homelessness, especially when it comes to being a single, gay man.
Full of feelings and emotional scenes and characters that will stay with you for a long time.
I’m in love with this series, these characters, and will miss all their adventures together. This whole series is a very worthwhile read, and a welcome addition to my permanent collection shelf!
It is a really cute little story that will rock your world. I always did love surprises and little twists to my stories. Posy worked it perfectly and I can say that this was one of my favorite Christmas stories to date.
I really loved this book and it gave me all the warm feels that I wanted. Louis and Sebastian are sweet and sexy together and the story has a really nice message without being saccharin. I am so glad I picked up this story and can definitely recommend it.
I was both excited and a little sad to read this conclusion to Posy Robert’s North Star Trilogy. I have lived through so much with the characters that have become like a fictional family.
A great book to take to the beach or curl up in your favorite chair this fall.
