B.G. Thomas loves to read romance, comedy, fantasy, thrillers, mystery, science fiction, and even horror. As far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are character driven and entertaining, it doesn’t matter the genre. He has gone to literature conventions his entire adult life, where he’s been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite authors. He has made up stories since he was a child; it’s where he finds his joy.
In the nineties, he wrote for gay adult magazines but stopped because the publishers wanted all sex without plot, and edited the setups or romance right out his stories. “The sex is never as important as the characters,” he says. “Who cares what they are doing if we don’t care about them?” Excited about the growing male/male romance market—where setup and cute meets are where it’s at—he began writing again. He submitted a novella and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. Since then the romantic tales have poured out of him. “It’s like I’m somehow making up for a lifetime’s worth of story-telling!”
B.G. lives in Kansas City with his two husbands—which yes, is different, but amazingly rewarding and wonderfully romantic. They have a new dog named Willow, who is filled to the brim with puppy energy, and three angel dogs watching over them: Sarah Jane, Oliver and Frodo. He is also blessed to have a lovely daughter, and they love to hang out.
“Leap, and the net will appear” is his personal philosophy and his message. “It is never too late,” he testifies. “Pursue your dreams. They will come true!”
