I’m the Quintessential Renaissance Man: Author (“RUTHLESS!), Podcaster (“WYATT!”), Journalist (HuffPo, Advocate, Wash Blade, Wyattevans.com).

YO! Join Anye Ellis and Me on “The Commentary” Pod YO! Join Anye Ellis and Me on “The Commentary” Podcast!

YO! Join Anye Ellis, host of the popular The Commentary podcast, and me as we kick off the release of my newest novel, Nothing Can Tear Us Apart: RUTHLESS!

🎥 Watch the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwFT-m_zMJU

In this lively and thought-provoking conversation, Anye and I dive into a wide range of issues surrounding RUTHLESS!—from the inspiration behind the novel to the complex relationships, themes, and social issues woven throughout the story.

We discuss why I created an unapologetically wealthy Black gay protagonist, and why I believe it is important to portray Black gay/SGL men as successful, multidimensional, powerful, vulnerable, masculine, romantic, and fully realized human beings.

And then we have some fun talking about my plans to adapt the Nothing Can Tear Us Apart series for the screen—including some of my dream casting choices. Yes, we talk about Colman Domingo and Mike Colter! 🎬

It’s an engaging conversation filled with storytelling, provocative questions, laughter, serious discussion, and a behind-the-scenes look at the creative vision driving Nothing Can Tear Us Apart: RUTHLESS!

So, sit back, press play, and enjoy the ride!

  Among the topics we explored were what readers can expect from RUTHLESS!, my writing process, the evolution of my characters, and the ways in which I challenged myself creatively while writing this latest installment.  Check out this revealing conversation.

The Era of "RUTHLESS!" Has Officially Begun! Ya The Era of "RUTHLESS!" Has Officially Begun!

  Yayyy! Today’s the official release of my explosive new novel, "Nothing Can Tear Us Apart: RUTHLESS!" On Amazon.

  What’s “RUTHLESS!” all about? WESLEY (WES) LAURENCE KELLY—an uber-wealthy, openly gay/SGL African American media mogul—finds himself in mortal danger when RUFFKUT, a vicious and vengeful crime lord, unleashes a relentless vendetta against him and his significant other, ANTONIO (‘TONIO) MIGUEL RIOS, JR. As the danger escalates, Wesley discovers that Ruffkut harbors an explosive secret—one so devastating it threatens to shatter his life forever. Here’s a hawt & nastee excerpt:

 ‘Tonio scooted down Wes.  His sturdy, meaty mitts stroked and squeezed.

 “Oh, my gawd,” he groaned with delight. 

 “Oh yassssssss,” cooed Walker, completely inebriated by the fierce warmth radiating from ‘Tonio’s mighty--but gentle hands.

  He opened his gym-built thighs ever so wide. “CA--Complete Access”--was the name of the game, after all!

  Slowly, “Top Man” guided “Bottom Guy’s” bodacious body toward the edge of the massive bed. Grinning like a Cheshire cat, ‘Tonio hopped lightly onto the floor and settled into a powerful squat.

  After spanky-spanking the melons just enough to warm them up, those sturdy hands pulled the firm cheeks apart. As ‘Tonio peered into the pinkish-brown opening, his eyes widened.

 “Wha tha…???” He smiled. “Dat hole’s winky-winkin’ at me! Oh, hell yeah!”

  And yo! “Mistah Phat & Thick Dick” jumped… 

  The iconic James Earl Hardy, author of the groundbreaking, bestselling “B-Boy” Blues series, states, “Wyatt delivers the laughs, the emotional gut-punches, the sexual heat, and the make-you-do-a-double-take/jaw-on-the-floor moments. Literature that is LIT—that’s my kinda page turner!”

 

  Join me on August 26 for the official launch event: https://www.brothersofthedesert.org/events/ruthless-author-explores-love-intimacy-among-black-gay-men

Trevor James: The Celebrated Cuddle Consultant! Trevor James: The Celebrated Cuddle Consultant!

  The WYATT! Podcast returns with an essential eppy! Our special guest is Trevor James  @trevorjamesla —a men's intimacy coach, certified touch therapist, and cuddle therapist with more than eight years of experience helping men reconnect with their bodies, emotions, sexuality, and capacity for meaningful intimacy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW1LOZJ4MAk

  We begin our conversation by recognizing that, for many Gay/SGL/Queer men, reconnecting with their bodies and cultivating deeper emotional intimacy can be a significant challenge. Mr. James explains that his work focuses on the very areas many men have been conditioned to avoid: the body, vulnerability, touch, desire, shame, and authentic intimacy. He then describes what it means to be disconnected from your body.
 
  The therapist states that by using a consent-based, trauma-informed approach, he creates a safe space for his clients to explore vulnerability, heal, and strengthen authentic connection. He describes what occurs during a typical first session and the outcomes clients typically achieve.

  I ask, "How do issues such as racialized body image, masculinity, and minority stress shape your work with Black men? Do they face unique challenges?" His in-depth response offers profound insight and is thoroughly engaging.

  Next, we turn our attention to his book, "On Being Seen: Chronicles of a Touch & Intimacy Therapist." He shares the inspiration behind writing this powerful and deeply personal work.

  According to Trevor, "Men tell me they're lonely, but what they really mean is that they miss being known. They tell me they want more friends, but what they're really searching for is a place where they don't have to perform." Motivated by this profound need for authentic connection, he created "The Connection Room," a space designed to foster genuine vulnerability and belonging. He explains the vision behind this initiative and the lasting impact he hopes it will have on the men it serves.

Troy Ford: Being Bold & Bodacious With "Waterspout Troy Ford: Being Bold & Bodacious With "Waterspout!"

  This edition of WYATT! shines the spotlight on Troy Ford  @mrtroyfordauthor, a masterful storyteller who's just released "Waterspout," his new novel. He spills the tea about this extraordinary work.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HpclBv370I

  Here's my "Waterspout" review: Mr. Ford's latest novel is an absorbing, full-bodied, and compelling work that grabs you from the very beginning and holds on tight with dialogue that snaps, crackles, and pops! The author paints a nuanced, textured, and vibrant portrait of Jimmy (the main protagonist), a struggling artist with chronic self-esteem issues and masochistic tendencies. Ford persuades you to understand, empathize, and ultimately root for Jimmy. And the icing on the cake? It's the mesmerizing ending you didn't see coming! "Waterspout" is an authentic, moving, raw slice of real life crafted by a dynamic, winning wordsmith. I am so very impressed with this book and HIGHLY recommend it!!!

  As we break down "Waterspout," Troy reveals what the title symbolizes in the novel, then takes us through his writing process. Jimmy, the main character, is deeply flawed and vulnerable, struggling with self-esteem. The author explains why that was an important thread to explore.

  I ask Mr. Ford if any of the characters evolved in ways he didn't originally anticipate. His response is quite intriguing, to say the least.

  And finally, this gifted wordsmith shares the conversations he hopes Waterspout will inspire throughout the LGBTQ+ community. 

  So, y'all, buckle up for an enlightening, effervescent, and AB-SO-LUTE-LY entertaining edition of "WYATT!" 

  And always remember: WYATT! is AB-SO-LUTE-LY "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!”
