Fools For Love

You would think, looking at my photos, that I sought a co-editor and contributors to the anthology Fool For Love: New Gay Fiction on the basis of handsomeness alone. You’d be wrong to think that, however, as I can’t imagine a more talented group of writers. It makes me want to start another anthology right now just so I can invite them to contribute.

Trebor Healey is the author of Through It Came Bright Colors, A Perfect Scar, Sweet Son of Pan,

  1. Famous Author Rob Byrnes don’t got no eyes!!!!

    (But at least he has his own damn name tag!)

    1. You smile with your eyes. That’s why it’s so infectious.

      I’m so bummed I missed my shot at meeting Trebor Healey! Though after the shock of meeting you, I might have found it all too much, and may have swooned.

      1. I’m with ‘Nathan. I loved this shot and picked it because of the real smile. I’d sit around a pool or on a balcony with FARB any time.

    1. Seriously, the best photos on my camera were all taken by other people. It cracks me up but makes me sad, too. Next year, when I’m more myself, my photos will be better, I hope.

  2. Here’s a suggestion — for charity, of course:

    Calendar. Nude Calendar.

    Like I said, for charity. Not for any other disgusting reason.

  3. I can’t believe I’m in the same book with all these people. I feel the sudden need to step up my game — or get a facial, since they all look so shiny and cute.

    1. If the Bourbon Orleans looks a little short, it’s because I photoshopped out someone next to you so the focus would be on you, because I really liked this photo of you.

  4. Maybe I’m missing the point of this post, but I think you’re saying that if I publish one of my short stories, I’ll be a hot, wildly pursued jetsetter. Yep, that’s why I wanna be a writer when I grow up. 😉

    1. You’re ALREADY a hot, wildly pursued jetsetter. You’ll have to find some other motivation for being a writer. Perhaps the vast wealth you’ll accrue?

  5. Some of the happiest smiles I’ve seen all together in one place for a long time!!!

    Fabulous men, fabulous writers . . . thanks for sharing!
