An Elevating Experience! Lana Reid's "The Male Per An Elevating Experience! Lana Reid's "The Male Perspective"

  A powerful conversation about Black men, relationships, identity, vulnerability—and the stories we sometimes refuse to tell

  I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Lana Reid, host of The Male Perspective, for a conversation about my newest novel, Nothing Can Tear Us Apart: RUTHLESS! It turned out to be more than a conversation about a book; it was a meaningful, poignant, powerful conversation about Black Gay/SGL (same-gender loving) men, relationships, identity, vulnerability—and the stories we sometimes refuse to tell.

A Date With Ecstasy: "RUTHLESS!" Yowza! I've g A Date With Ecstasy: "RUTHLESS!"

  Yowza!  I've got a tantalizing taste of my erotic, electrifying & explosive new novel, "Nothing Can Tear Us Apart: RUTHLESS!"

  First though, here's the mini-synopsis for "RUTHLESS!"—

  Wesley Laurence Kelly, an uber-wealthy Gay/SGL African American media mogul battling a split personality due to intimate partner violence and childhood sexual abuse, must confront a ruthless crime lord and deadly secrets before everyone and everyone he loves are destroyed.
 
  EXCERPT:
 Wesley has become Walker—his devious, manipulative alternate personality.
 In the massive boudoir, sprawled across the bodacious bed, Walker lies in wait for Antonio, his significant other. Antonio has no clue that the man he loves is no longer Wesley.
 Walker is now the dominant personality—and he intends to keep it that way.
 
 "Wes-lee, I'm hooommme!" Antonio bellowed from just right outside the door, sounding suspiciously like "Ricky Ricardo" from I Love Lucy, the iconic sitcom.
 "Ah ha! You're playin' hawt AF singer Emilio Diego," he grinned.
 "What exactly is goin' on witcha?"
 "C'mon in and find out, Pa (Antonio)."
 With a quickening heartbeat, a pounding pulse, an adrenaline rush, sweat trickling from his brow, and of course, a rapidly stiffening and swelling in his loins, Antonio threw the door open!

This is a big, unapologetically queer story about survival, love, loyalty, and the complicated work of becoming whole.”--Jeffrey James Keyes @jjkeyes --New York Times Bestselling Author and Playwright

Thank You, “He Said, He Said, He Said!” Yo! A hug Thank You, “He Said, He Said, He Said!”

Yo!
A huge THANK YOU to hosts Alvin B. King and Bobby Edwards for welcoming me as a special guest on their renowned and wildly popular “He Said, He Said, He Said” @hesaidhesaidhesaidlive podcast! It was an absolute privilege to join them last evening.

Watch the interview on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSRAQDomS5o

We dove deep into my new novel, Nothing Can Tear Us Apart: RUTHLESS!—already receiving rave reviews! We explored the inspiration behind RUTHLESS!, my writing process, what it means to be an immersive author, and why authentic Black representation in LGBTQ+ literature matters.

Then we tackled one of the novel’s most critical and timely themes: Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A).
I discussed what IPV/A really is, the warning signs everyone should know, how stigma fuels the devastating cycle of abuse and contributes to its dramatic underreporting—and, most importantly, how you can begin making your “Great Escape.”

Absorbing. Engaging. Provocative. Powerful!

That’s the latest edition of “He Said, He Said, He Said!”
