All Gays Go to Heaven - Helps Youth First Texas

All Gays to Heaven is helping people before it's even published.  The author, spirituality expert and progressive Christian author, has released up to 200 Galley Copies of All Gays Go to Heaven to benefit Youth First Texas.  The galley copies, much like original screen play copies, have the potential to rise significantly in value as All Gays Go to Heaven becomes a hit with the GLBT reading community.

All Gays Go to Heaven galley copies will sell for $29.95 but will also include a coupon for a FREE copy of the final version of the book (MSRP $24.95).  All net proceeds from the sale of the galley copies will be donated to Youth First Texas for their ongoing efforts to help GLBTQ youth in emergency situations as well as those just needing a helping hand understanding their identity.

All Gays Go to Heaven is the new gay memoir which promises more than cocaine, cocktail and crossings.  It's a slice of life from the gay happenings of a small Texas university city from the point of Reece's surgical injury to his resolution to live an authentic life.  It's an easy, approachable read with equal parts humor and poignant matters.

All Gays Go to Heaven can be found at http://www.allgaysgotoheaven.com.

I've got an agent in my pocket!

All Gays Go to Heaven is pleased to now be represented by Mary Ann Butcher of Red Carpet LV.  This marks a big move forward.  The other great news is I have almost finished the galley edit, so if you ordered a galley copy, it will be shipping in approximately 6 weeks.

I also wanted to make certain everyone following along knew about www.Queerbook.com.  It's one place on the net that is non-porn, non-scorn.  It's all about the fun, family, finances and future.  Yes, I had a hard time coming up with 4 f words.

Feasible though.

The Meat of the Issue

What's at the heart of All Gays Go to Heaven?  The title itself comes from a line of dialog between Anthony and myself while in the Timberlawn Trauma Unit:

"What makes you so sure we go to heaven?  How do you know all gays go to heaven," he asked, simply, like a child.
"Anthony, it's not just all gays, it's everyone.  There really was everyone on the other side.  There were some who were not a part of the light, but everyone crosses to the same love, acceptance and peace."  

That's where the title came from but it is also where the core message comes from.  Regardless of anything you have done, God loves you with a strength and passion beyond human understanding.

All Gays Go to Heaven Shaking Things Up

Okay, let's see what the pre-release grassroots following idea will bear out.  It's an experiment that every writer has to take.  I've got www.allgaysgotoheaven.info up and going!  I've got a Facebook page.  I've got PR kicking in.  So, if you are a fan, possible fan, would like to be a fan of All Gays Go to Heaven, then I certainly need you.

Yes, you might have noticed that Overcome title was sank, while I still feel it's a good title, All Gays Go to Heaven fits the book better and it's just a line out of the dialog in the memoir.

I'm writing from Dallas again today, but oh the writing I have to do!  So, back to work and here's hoping you'll take a moment to visit All Gays Go to Heaven!  And, if anyone knows the perfect agent for this, let me know!

Writing in Vegas - It's Good to Be Poor

Ah, Las Vegas.  To most its a city but to me it's a duty.  My Dad loves to come out and he loves to have more family with him.  I haven't been out there since I've been writing and the city does offer avenues to fiction, non-fiction and genres yet to be defined!  For me, it's a nice little break from the Dallas groove and I get to have room service.  And catch up on movies I haven't been to lately.  That's right.  Now gambling.  I just don't see the point.  You are going to loose.  I mean, yes, you may win a bit but they have these huge casinos for a reason and I think there is a profit angle to it somehow.  They play, I relax.

Today, morning started with a continental breakfast.  You can't beat a good Creme Brulee either.  The two together are magical.  I've got to shower and make it in time for my 11 A massage.  After that, back to the room for Avatar.  Then social family time. and repeat one more day.  A nice little break.

Today I've focused on rounding out the characters in Overcome.  The mss is having my hand take it and make it as complete as possible.    I realize I began some journeys that I did not complete.  I know what happened to everyone, but my job as an author is to leave you the reader understanding things completely as I do.  The challenge is to do so and not add more words to the total mss.  It's a journey to bring the first draft to final, but a powerful short journey.

Thanks for reading  From Vegas,
Reece
