Joyful approach badgeHi guys! I am super excited to be kicking off the Joyful Approach: Countdown to GRL event today!

This is an event jointly sponsored by Joyfully Jay and the folks over at The Novel Approach.  Over the course of the next seven weeks, we are hosting 50 authors who are participating in GayRomLit this year in Atlanta.  Each of these folks will be stopping by one of our two blogs to introduce themselves, share more about their writing, and in most cases, bring some awesome giveaways.  This is a great chance to meet some of these fabulous folks who you might not already be familiar with and catch up with some old favorites.

Here is the full schedule of author stops, some here and some at the Novel Approach. Be sure to stop by both sites to check out all the great posts and giveaways.

P.S. If you click the Joyful Approach tag here or in any of the pink boxes at the end of the posts, it will pull up a list of all the Countdown posts so far.
