sir.wyattofficial

I’m that quintessential Renaissance Guy: Radio Personality (“WYATT!” Podcast), Author (“NCTUA”), Journalist (HuffPo, Advocate, Wyattevans.com, etc).
After Being “SHATTERED!”, Get “RUTHLESS!” I After Being “SHATTERED!”, Get “RUTHLESS!” I had the distinct pleasure of being interviewed by Eddie Pierce, Jr., an author and founder of Rainbow Room Publishing (RRP), for his podcast, “RRP Live!” INTRODUCING WYATT O’BRIAN EVANS @WyattOutLoud Here is Mr. Pierce, Jr.’s review of “SHATTERED!”, the latest installment in the “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” series: “I’m finding “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” to be quick in pacing, wit-filled, impactful, short, and easily digestible chapters. From the visceral, shocking, and gripping search and rescue during a brutal East Coast blizzard in the opening scene, SHATTERED! arrests the readers’ attention while seizing their senses. “This ‘SHATTERED!’ tale [is] centered around the lives and relationship between the main characters Wesley (Wes), the über successful media mogul, and Antonio (‘Tonio), the enterprising and impeccably equipped employee who secures the former’s body and wins his heart… “Together, the dynamic duo encounters challenges. Coupled with numerous other commonly explored, universal themes, Evans paints a realistic picture of people suffering wounds to their skin and psyche, a reality that almost anyone can relate to. “After this extensive and highly satisfying read, I realized the need for three things: a smoke, a shot, and a sit down with the author IN THAT ORDER!” Thanks, Eddie! Now, get ready for “RUTHLESS!”, the sequel, which drops in mid-August! More details forthcoming. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork
Just How “RUTHLESS!” Can You Get? Greetings, Just How “RUTHLESS!” Can You Get? Greetings, Y’all! I’m proud to announce that I just signed a publishing deal with Rainbow Advocacy Press to publish my upcoming novel, “RUTHLESS!”, the new installment in my “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” (NCTUA) series (Gay/Ethnic/Psychological Thriller). The release date for “RUTHLESS!” is Tuesday, August 18, 2026. “SHATTERED!” is the current installment in the “NCTUA” series. Rainbow Advocacy Press is a global publisher of books, podcasts, and Substack content. “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart—SHATTERED!” is the continuing saga of mega-celeb Wesley Laurence Kelly and his chief of security, Antonio Miguel Rios, Jr., who valiantly struggle against the odds to keep their monogamous relationship alive! The couple must confront the aftermath of Intimate Partner Violence and childhood sexual abuse, along with Wes transforming into a devious and potentially deadly split personality as a result. And thrown into the toxic mix are the homophobe son Wes never knew existed, and the vindictive, vicious drug lord who has a major score to settle. Can Wesley and Antonio eventually proclaim Nothing Can Tear Us Apart? Visit www.wyattevans.com/shattered/ Both “SHATTERED!” and its upcoming sequel “RUTHLESS!” are enthralling, exhilarating, and explosive! They are compelling, sexually charged thrill rides full of cliffhangers that will keep you on the edge of your seats and guessing until the very end! All the “dee-li-cious-ly” bawdy, bold, and bodacious hallmarks that readers come to expect from the “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” series are front and center. Ready? ‘Cause I am! The official “RUTHLESS!” cover art and more details to come! @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork #RUTHLESStheNovel
WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) returns with one helluva ha WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) returns with one helluva hawt and hilarious eppy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuQXnACF020 Our special guest is Armani Walton ( @armanijavonwalton ), a popular LGBTQ+ social media influencer, digital content creator, and storyteller. I begin our conversation by asking him a three-part "Q" (question): "What does being a social media influencer mean to you? What's your mission? What separates you from the rest of the pack?" His responses are thoughtful and engaging. We then learn about this multihyphenate's beginnings: while in high school, Armani got his start in entertainment on a teen talk show called The Bridge. He discusses how that experience helped shape him. We fast forward. According to the talented creative, on the day President Obama legalized gay marriage, he came out on Instagram—and the declaration went viral! He describes the range of reactions from family, friends, and the public, and how it all impacted him. As a result, Armani began securing brand deals with companies such as Fashion Nova, Six Silk, and Rockstar Denim. He became one of the first openly gay/SGL influencers on that social media platform. Next, we slide into him being a "Bottom Advocate." What exactly does that mean? Armani spills the tea, and it's quite dee-li-cious! And finally, we reveal what a "ShaBang Thang" is! It’s real and raw, Y’all. Get ready for another tempting, tantalizing, and tasty edition of WYATT! This is another reason that WYATT! is "Eargasm Fo' Tha Grown Folks!" @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork

Haynes ( @clarenceahaynes ), author of the new urban fantasy glam-horror novel titled, "The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery!" In this sexy, page-turning debut, a high-powered publicist receives a threatening message and must confront her secret mystical past as ghosts prepare to invade our world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7wpKlNJBc We kick things off by discussing what compelled Haynes to choose sci-fi and fantasy as the genres for his new work. And he provides a rather delicious explanation of what an urban fantasy glam-horror novel is! "The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery" is already garnering solid reviews. Here's one: "What a fantastic read! By the first page, I was completely hooked, and while I tried to savor each page and detail within the story, I ended up devouring it. I loved the representation, the journey through navigating spirituality along with grief, guilt, identity, and self-discovery." I ask the novelist about the positive feedback he's receiving. Haynes also chats about being coauthor of actor/producer Omar Epps's acclaimed Young Adult Afrofuturist sci-fi/fantasy series "Nubia: The Awakening" and "The Reckoning." He reveals how the collaboration with Epps came about — and the most important thing he learned from it. Next, we talk about the impact of his middle-grade nonfiction work, "The Legacy of Jim Crow," which examines the history of discriminatory laws in America.

Author James Earl Hardy Turns (B-Boy) Blues Into P Author James Earl Hardy Turns (B-Boy) Blues Into Pure Joy! WYATT! ( #Wyattonair ) roars back with a special, scintillating eppy! Special guest is James Earl Hardy ( @james.e.hardy.9 ), the acclaimed author of the iconic "B-Boy Blues." The series of novels was launched in 1994 with "B-Boy Blues," which has been praised as the first gay hip-hop love story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brJovgE_8sk We start our conversation with Hardy, who explains how the "B-Boy" universe came to be. He states, "You were expected to walk through one door—Black or gay—and the novel unapologetically embraced and celebrated both. For them, as well as the rest of society, 'gay' was a white thing while 'Black' was specifically seen through a prism of heterosexuality. 'B-Boy' was too gay for some heteros, too Black for some whites—as well as the wrong kind of gay for certain white gay folk and the wrong kind of Black for certain Black hetero folk." He adds, "The question was always, 'Who is going to read a Black-on-Black gay love story?' The answer, it turns out, was everybody. I knew something special, transcendent was happening when I'd travel to Brooklyn, and there were sistas reading 'B-Boy' on the A train. Many folks who aren't Black and/or gay and/or male have told me that they got 50, 60 pages into the novel and totally forgot it was about two men." Next, we discuss "B-Boy Blues'" award-winning theatrical production and long-awaited film adaptation. I ask how pleased he was with its screen adaptation and whether anything was sacrificed in the translation. Hardy's answer is both enlightening and nuanced. @firecreekentertainment @thebearprotagonist @iamcrisean #prideindexdotcom #blackLGBTQwriters #blackgayauthors #blackauthors #LGBTQBlackAuthors #TalentedblackGaycontentcreators #blacklgbtqcreatives #AfricanAmericanLGBTQauthors @lgbtcreator #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqia #lgbtq #pride #gay #instagay #gaypride #gaymen #gaystagram #SHATTEREDtheNovel #Wyattonair #thebearnetwork
