A wider perspective of the word around us.
I’m attempting to set up a Zazzle store for things you might want. I recently ordered two mugs designs I made, but I can’t figure out if anyone else can see what I’ve made. Patience.

One thing I love about MM Romance and LGBTQ fiction is reading about people who have different world experiences than I do. I love that, by reading these stories, I’m allowing voices previously stifled to finally be heard, understood, and empathized with. Until MM Romance came along, most LGBTQ fiction, especially those books and movies with gay characters, ended in tragedy. Happily ever afters? No, that didn’t happen. Most ended in a tragic death, loneliness, despair, or self-loathing. Everything changed when MM Romance came on the scene. People who had never considered reading about men falling in love with men were clambering for more books, more varied stories so they…
Now this is how to grab attention and get the message to wrap it up across! YouTube now blocks age-restricted content, so…
I’m a consumer, and I buy things I don’t need. I spent my twenties accumulating because without doing so, I’d be sitting on cardboard boxes rather than furniture today. In my thirties, I was a new parent, and with kids comes more “necessary” equipment. Then the stuff took over. Now I’m in my forties, and I want less in my life. Decluttering is a common theme in magazines, blogs, and TV shows and has been for the last decade or more. Watching one episode of Hoarders and you see how lives can be controlled by stuff. Right now my dining room is being held hostage by paperwork that needs to be sorted, filed, or…
Community is everything. Some people have a very strong sense of belonging in nearly every community they interact with, while others don’t feel that connectedness at all. As with most things, I’m right in the middle of the road on that sliding scale. When I was teaching I was very much involved in everything. I couldn’t go buy toilet paper without being stopped in Target by a student or two. My husband took to finishing the shopping while I chatted. On the flip side of that, I’ve also lived where I felt very isolated. The last time, I had just had a baby who ended up spending months in the hospital.…
Almar Atlason fled his box this morning. He hugged his friends and family, then left so he could go have a smoke. If you’re wondering what on earth I’m talking about, let me introduce you to Almar, an Icelandic art student who lived inside a glass box for a week, relying on the kindness of others to help sustain him. I wrote about him last week and answered many of the common questions people had about what he was doing Watching Almar in his little aquarium was relaxing. People on Twitter have joked that watching him was as relaxing as watching a goldfish. He was their human goldfish for a…
I’ve been watching Almar Atlason, a 23 year old Icelandic art student completing his final art project for his Methods and Process class at the Icelandic Academy of the Arts. He is hoping to spend a week inside a transparent box. Oh, and he’s naked, so he’s very exposed. His project is streaming on YouTube but is #NSFW. I learned about this from a friend’s Facebook post that lead me to an article on Iceland Review Online . He called this “A perfect anarchy.” He brought nothing inside his see-thru box and is relying on the generosity of others, who have brought him food, water, blankets, an iPod, books, and many other…
I write a monthly column over at Prism Book Alliance® now, which is why I’ve been fairly silent over here. It’s calle Outside the Margins. I’m also editing 2 stories and writing 2 more, so life has been crazy busy with that, not to mention homeschooling. So if you miss my pervy banter, you can find me here. Come visit.
New! I’ve started a new blog over on Tumblr. I already have one where I essentially celebrate the male form and love between men, but this new one is different. For regular readers, you know I’m bisexual, so I run across a lot of images and information I don’t share here or on my Posy Roberts Tumblr. It’s not the correct audience. But lately I’ve been discovering so much that I felt I needed to start something new, and I love the share-happy Tumblr format. I’ve run across several sites on sexual positivity over the years. Most are intended for women. Some are there for the GLBTQ community too, but…
I’m over at Prism Book Alliance today for my monthly Outside the Margins column. I share a few stories about the most wonderful bookstore I’ve ever been in. It was a castle! It closed it’s doors for good as 2014 came to a close. There are photos of the castle bookstore on my Instagram as well.

Their sexual chemistry pops and sizzles…
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 was a wonderful story about healing and recovery, finding love and someone that believes and understands what the other is going through.
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.
The author captures the feel of a noisy, active family, close-knit and loving, all up against each other for the holiday get-together.
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.
Analog to Digital is a guaranteed smile-inducing holiday read.
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.
Sweet, enjoyable, hot and pleasurable. This was a lovely Sunday morning read.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
…feelings of hope and of loss and so much uncertainty, but they do eventually find their way.
Andrew conquered my heart. I feel like I know him well, the same way as I know a friend.
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.
I highly recommend this story to fans of quiet, stoic men with poetic hearts and lovers of stories with happy endings.
Farm Fresh is gorgeous, and the emotional impact will leave you gasping and aching for more.
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.
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…
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 am sad to see this series end. But, Posy Roberts ended it absolutely exquisitely. Radiantly Recommended.
A great example to show that just because a character isn’t perfect, doesn’t mean they can’t find love and acceptance.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 is another one that I fully intend to keep on my kindle to read time and time again.
This is how every romance should be, real, true, filled with feelings and emotions so powerful I was often left breathless.
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.
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.
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.
A sweet story with some very romantic moments that are also smoking hot.
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
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.
This is a fantastically gripping finale to a wonderful series. This book really did have it all
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.
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’ve been waiting for this book since I read Fusion. It was worth the wait!!
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story that will leave you with a smile on your face.
It’s a lovely uplifting short story, with realistic main characters who gained my sympathy and affection. Ethan’s family members are super too.
Feathers From the Sky is a fabulous story of love and acceptance. It’s a short and sweet, heartwarming and feel-good Christmas read.
I love how the characters in this trilogy have evolved over the span of two novels.
This was cuteness and drama poured into a sweet comedy of errors crust, baked to perfection by crispy-fresh writing. A real holiday treat!
A very charming feel-good love story about finding your true self and getting a second chance at love.
Wow, I am thoroughly impressed with this book. Posy Roberts definitely brings the emotions out of you.
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!
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
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!
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.
[Beck’s] pain palpated from the pages. My tummy was tight and my eyes were wet as I read. It was so….real.
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.
This is truly an outstanding story. I carried my Kindle everywhere with me…. All day. I refused to do anything until I finished.
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.
Clearly [Posy] is talented and able to create characters we want to take into our hearts and love forever!
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
Beck’s grieving process was pretty much spot on […] and the realism in Robert’s writing really impressed me.
If you’re looking for something deeper, something special and something truly passionate…grab this book!
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.
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.
This is a hot, hot short with a great backbone…
Please do yourself a favor and dive into this series immediately, as the journey is emotional, riveting and awe-inspiring.
[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.
Full of feelings and emotional scenes and characters that will stay with you for a long time.
All our favorite characters have some MAJOR “soul” development here.
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 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.
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!
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!
Just like the first story, I could picture myself right there in the rainbow bus on the road with Jude and Hudson.
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.
The writing is brilliant, as is the plot, and the characters just jump off the page and straight into your heart!
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.
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.
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!!
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 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!
