Long the Mile by Ally Blue
Publisher: Riptide Publishing (November 23, 2013)
Amazon Kindle: Long the Mile

Sometimes it takes losing everything to find what you really need.

When Judah went to prison for insider trading, he lost everything he thought was important: his business, his money, his power. But when he gets out, homelessness strips him of the one thing he has left: his self-respect. When another homeless man saves him from a beating, he begins to learn to rely on the goodness of those around him.

For Toby, life on the streets has become familiar. Comfortable. So comfortable he wonders if he’s given up on changing his life for the better. Then comes Judah. Formerly rich, newly homeless, all his pride and attitude gone along with his material possessions. Helping Judah feels good. Their unexpected connection—physical and beyond—feels even better.

Their shared situation nurtures a growing closeness that blossoms into something deeper. But when change comes knocking, it will take all their strength to keep fear and insecurity from tearing them apart.

20% of all proceeds from this title are donated to the Ali Forney Center in New York, whose mission “is to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning (LGBTQ) youth from the harm of homelessness, and to support them in becoming safe and independent as they move from adolescence to adulthood.” To learn more about this charity or to donate directly, please visit http://www.aliforneycenter.org/.





Ally Blue is acknowledged by the world at large (or at least by her heroes, who tend to suffer a lot) as the Popess of Gay Angst. She has a great big suggestively-shaped hat and rides in a bullet-proof Plexiglas bubble in Christmas parades. Her harem of manwhores does double duty as bodyguards and inspirational entertainment. Her favorite band is Radiohead, her favorite color is lime green and her favorite way to waste a perfectly good Saturday is to watch all three extended version LOTR movies in a row. Her ultimate dream is to one day ditch the evil day job and support the family on manlove alone. She is not a hippie or a brain surgeon, no matter what her kids’ friends say.

One of my favorite charities is The Office of Letters and Light. I think inspiration and creativity are an important part of the world!

I also like It Gets Better, which is another organization I'm active with.

Hi folks! Well, I’ve done my thing and picked a winner for an ebook copy of Demon Dog, using my trusty random number generator on Random.org. If anyone is interested in my process, what I did was to assign each original comment on each blog a number. If you commented on multiple blogs, then each comment got its own separate number. After that, I added up the total number of comments and had Random.org pick a random number. As it happened this time, that random number was 1, Shirley on the Blog of SidLove. Congratulations, Shirley!

Thank you to all the wonderful blog hosts for your graciousness. Elisa, as always you are THE BEST and I heart you like whoa! <3 Thanks to everyone for commenting, and special thanks to all who bought the book, or gave to the Ali Forney Center directly, and to all of you who do what you can to help those around you. You are all awesome! Happy Holidays to one and all!
