I went to graduate school for family science, so family of origin issues are fascinating to me. Come read what I have to say about that over at Rowan Speedwell’s blog. Family Tree Roots Run Deep – a Guest Post by Posy Roberts – Rowan Speedwell.
I’m visiting Zahra Owens‘ blog today and talking about what characters’ houses say about them. What does your house say about you? Looking at just the state of my desk, I’m pleading the fifth today. Same with my bedroom, or should I say the clean, unfolded laundry strewn all over my bedroom. Hugo walked into the cabin he’d heard about for years. It smelled of grandparents—a bit musty but not in a bad way, just a comforting way that bespoke of good memories. After all, it had been Summer’s grandparents’ cabin. They’d bought it in the late 1950s, and it appeared as if it hadn’t been redecorated since. A refreshing blue-and-yellow…
I’m visiting my friend, J.P. Barnaby‘s blog today, and talking about the lies GLBT teens tell to keep themselves safe. Come on over and check it out!
Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity if I base it on the number of dings, whooshes, and beeps I heard from my computer and phone. In reality, I spent most of the day in my desk chair, but because it was the release day of Spark, I didn’t feel sedentary. On top of spending time talking about bisexuality over at Charley Descoteaux‘s blog, I spent the day posting over on Dreamspinner Press’s blog. I thought I’d give you a little run down of what I wrote about there so you could head over there and read the posts and excerpts from my book. I talked about what writing a trilogy was…
I’m over at Charley Descoteaux’s blog today, talking about bisexual charcter in M/M romance. In Spark, Kevin Magnus is bi, so there was a lot I needed to take into consideration as I wrote. Go read. Guest Author: Posy Roberts!
Jana Denardo allowed the main characters from Spark to come over to her blog for a little interview today. Go on over so you can meet Hugo Thorson and Kevin Magnus.
It feels as if all of a sudden things are happening with Spark. When I look back at the true timeline, I know that’s ludicrous. Getting a book from a writer’s brain into readers’ hands is a long process, especially if that writer is a perpetual editor, like me. This morning my handy-dandy calendar alerted me that my blog tour is starting tomorrow, and I’m sure my eyes nearly bugged out of my head despite me just waking up. I thought I’d share what’s happening with you so you can follow along and visit all these great writers who so generously donated space on their blogs. I also installed an upcoming events…
Clearly [Posy] is talented and able to create characters we want to take into our hearts and love forever!
[Beck’s] pain palpated from the pages. My tummy was tight and my eyes were wet as I read. It was so….real.
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 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.
This series is fantastic, and I fell head over heels for these characters – Hugo especially.
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.
…this story is so beautifully written, with such amazing characters, that it is hard to put down!
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 a fantastically gripping finale to a wonderful series. This book really did have it all
Farm Fresh is gorgeous, and the emotional impact will leave you gasping and aching for more.
Please do yourself a favor and dive into this series immediately, as the journey is emotional, riveting and awe-inspiring.
This is another one that I fully intend to keep on my kindle to read time and time again.
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.
Beck’s grieving process was pretty much spot on […] and the realism in Robert’s writing really impressed me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Their sexual chemistry pops and sizzles…
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.
I’ve been waiting for this book since I read Fusion. It was worth the wait!!
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 is how every romance should be, real, true, filled with feelings and emotions so powerful I was often left breathless.
Feathers From the Sky is a fabulous story of love and acceptance. It’s a short and sweet, heartwarming and feel-good Christmas read.
…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.
A very charming feel-good love story about finding your true self and getting a second chance at love.
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 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.
These guys have great chemistry and make a wonderful couple.
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!!
I highly recommend this story to fans of quiet, stoic men with poetic hearts and lovers of stories with happy endings.
Andrew conquered my heart. I feel like I know him well, the same way as I know a friend.
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 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!
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.
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.
…feelings of hope and of loss and so much uncertainty, but they do eventually find their way.
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!
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.
[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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This is a hot, hot short with a great backbone…
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!
I love how the characters in this trilogy have evolved over the span of two novels.
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.
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 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 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’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!
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!
A great book to take to the beach or curl up in your favorite chair this fall.
This was cuteness and drama poured into a sweet comedy of errors crust, baked to perfection by crispy-fresh writing. A real holiday treat!
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
Analog to Digital is a guaranteed smile-inducing holiday read.
All our favorite characters have some MAJOR “soul” development here.
This was a wonderful story about healing and recovery, finding love and someone that believes and understands what the other is going through.
Just like the first story, I could picture myself right there in the rainbow bus on the road with Jude and Hudson.
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.
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.
Wow, I am thoroughly impressed with this book. Posy Roberts definitely brings the emotions out of you.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a story that will leave you with a smile on your face.
This is truly an outstanding story. I carried my Kindle everywhere with me…. All day. I refused to do anything until I finished.
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.
If you’re looking for something deeper, something special and something truly passionate…grab this book!
The author captures the feel of a noisy, active family, close-knit and loving, all up against each other for the holiday get-together.
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.
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 am sad to see this series end. But, Posy Roberts ended it absolutely exquisitely. Radiantly Recommended.
Sweet, enjoyable, hot and pleasurable. This was a lovely Sunday morning read.
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!
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.
The writing is brilliant, as is the plot, and the characters just jump off the page and straight into your heart!
Full of feelings and emotional scenes and characters that will stay with you for a long time.
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.
