Posy’s goals, inspirations, thoughts on life, and favorite office supplies.
Charley Descoteaux allowed me to play on her blog. Play might not be the best word considering I wrote about dispelling myths that are readily spread about bisexuals. Come on and read what happened after I came out as bi to my husband after we’d been married for fifteen years. We both learned a lot in the last several years. Bi Pride Week: Posy Roberts
Charley Descoteaux shared this video on Facebook, and I knew I wanted to spread the joy here within about thirty seconds. Funny. Kitchen appliances and food!
I enjoy writing stories about ordinary people living through real life trials. I may never write about people narrowly escaping exploding buildings or being held captive in a creepy crawl space. I do write about how people survive those scary things that we all have the possibility of facing ourselves: disease, death, bullying, not being accepted. I enjoy watching how people live and shine through those moments. Since I was a child, I have been dealing with chronic illness. I used to be rushed to the emergency room every few months because of severe asthma attacks. Thankfully, I made it there in time to get a shot of epinephrine that…
I blogged back in the beggining of blogs. That’s not that far back in real time, but it seems like ages ago based on how quickly the internets have changed since then. I was one of the first mommy bloggers. I know, you’re thinking “Ick!” right? It fit me at the time. I have more than one degree in child development. I work with families in my real life job. I was a fairly new mom. But I sort of came to it by accident. Here’s how. My baby (she just turned 11) was born with several internal structure things wrong with her. They called them mid-line defects. She had problems…
I’ve been so busy editing and writing and filling out forms that I’ve had no time to write here. How horrid! I get very introverted in the summer which is probably what helps me get all the words down on paper. See, I have to be the ultimate extravert at my day job for nine months of the year, so in the summer I nest. I shut the doors, windows, blinds, and drapes, and I’m totally cool if they don’t open until I’m getting ready to go somewhere. This is the joy of being an ambivert, both introverted and extraverted. I understand both sides extremely well, and I do both…
I’m one of those people that if often labeled “passionate.” I’m okay with that because it’s often true, but I only get passionate about a few, choice things, even if those things are on a perpetual carrousel. That comes with being a Jill of all trades and a master of none, I suppose. One of the things that I am very passionate about is relationships. You’re surprised, right? Haha. I thought not. What I mean to say is really this: I value people taking the time to make relationships work. That’s not to say that all relationships are worth working on. Sometimes breakups and divorce just need to happen. I…
I finally got to a Pride celebration larger than a postage stamp with a few unenthusiastic individuals sitting around a courtyard wordlessly handing out flyers. That’s Pride in my small, conservative town. I’m hoping this year will be better now that we have marriage equality in Minnesota, but the fact that we don’t even celebrate Pride here during June even ticks me off. So, I went to Twin Cities Pride with a friend and had a fun time. There was a ton of enthusiasm and people everywhere! I was immediately jazzed and probably looked like a totally out-of-towner. Oh well. I don’t care! I had fun! Here are some highlights.…
The impact of the DOMA’s demise is having real effects on people’s lives. Binational married couples are now able to apply and be granted a green card for their foreign-born spouse so repeated goodbyes like these seen in the video below will no longer have to happen. Parents will have a much easier time providing for their children, both legally and financially, without having to file stacks and stacks of paperwork. Two medical insurance plans can now become one. Social Security benefits. Military benefits, which include housing and so much more. Married LGBT couples will be able to file taxes and check the box that says Married, Filing Jointly. There…
Today I’m taking the time to teach my daughter how to do laundry. She is nearly 11, but is a very slight little girl. She is short and most of our laundry supplies are stored in a cupboard above my washer and dryer, so they weren’t in easy reach for her until the last six months or so. She’s one of those kids who wears a pair of jeans once or even for a few hours and then throws them in the dirty clothes. Or else, she’ll wear the same shirt for days. So, a typical kid. I’m hoping that this will save me time in the end, and of…
I’m pissed off at the moment. The McDonald’s close to my house totally sucks. Hubs went quick before he took the car—our only car—out to spend time with a friend. I’m foodless now because McDonald employees there are incompetent. You’d think the person in the drive-thru would’ve said, “We don’t have that anymore. Would you like something else?” when hubby ordered the Daily Double. But no. They just loaded the bag with one sandwich for my kid and 2 fries. If this were only the first time this had happened, I could forgive it. As fate would have it, this happens on a day when I’m carless. And so, I…
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.
All our favorite characters have some MAJOR “soul” development here.
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’ve been waiting for this book since I read Fusion. It was worth the wait!!
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.
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!
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 fabulous story of love and acceptance. It’s a short and sweet, heartwarming and feel-good Christmas read.
A great example to show that just because a character isn’t perfect, doesn’t mean they can’t find love and acceptance.
Clearly [Posy] is talented and able to create characters we want to take into our hearts and love forever!
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.
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.
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!
[Beck’s] pain palpated from the pages. My tummy was tight and my eyes were wet as I read. It was so….real.
Beck’s grieving process was pretty much spot on […] and the realism in Robert’s writing really impressed me.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story that will leave you with a smile on your face.
…feelings of hope and of loss and so much uncertainty, but they do eventually find their way.
This was cuteness and drama poured into a sweet comedy of errors crust, baked to perfection by crispy-fresh writing. A real holiday treat!
[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.
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!
Please do yourself a favor and dive into this series immediately, as the journey is emotional, riveting and awe-inspiring.
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.
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!
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!
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.
This is another one that I fully intend to keep on my kindle to read time and time again.
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!!
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
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.
The writing is brilliant, as is the plot, and the characters just jump off the page and straight into your heart!
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.
This was a wonderful story about healing and recovery, finding love and someone that believes and understands what the other is going through.
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.
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!
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 is a fantastically gripping finale to a wonderful series. This book really did have it all
Just like the first story, I could picture myself right there in the rainbow bus on the road with Jude and Hudson.
A great book to take to the beach or curl up in your favorite chair this fall.
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!
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.
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!
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.
I love how the characters in this trilogy have evolved over the span of two novels.
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.
Analog to Digital is a guaranteed smile-inducing holiday read.
This is a hot, hot short with a great backbone…
Sweet, enjoyable, hot and pleasurable. This was a lovely Sunday morning read.
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…
A very charming feel-good love story about finding your true self and getting a second chance at love.
Andrew conquered my heart. I feel like I know him well, the same way as I know a friend.
…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.
I am sad to see this series end. But, Posy Roberts ended it absolutely exquisitely. Radiantly Recommended.
Full of feelings and emotional scenes and characters that will stay with you for a long time.
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.
If you’re looking for something deeper, something special and something truly passionate…grab this book!
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is how every romance should be, real, true, filled with feelings and emotions so powerful I was often left breathless.
Farm Fresh is gorgeous, and the emotional impact will leave you gasping and aching for more.
Their sexual chemistry pops and sizzles…
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.
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.
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.
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 highly recommend this story to fans of quiet, stoic men with poetic hearts and lovers of stories with happy endings.
These guys have great chemistry and make a wonderful couple.
This series is fantastic, and I fell head over heels for these characters – Hugo especially.
Wow, I am thoroughly impressed with this book. Posy Roberts definitely brings the emotions out of you.
A sweet story with some very romantic moments that are also smoking hot.
This is truly an outstanding story. I carried my Kindle everywhere with me…. All day. I refused to do anything until I finished.
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.
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.
Feathers From The Sky is a great holiday short story. The love in that small house with so many people crammed inside was obvious.
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
The author captures the feel of a noisy, active family, close-knit and loving, all up against each other for the holiday get-together.
