GayRomLit Retreat: J.P. Barnaby

Starting from March up until September I will feature authors attending the GayRomLit Retreat in Chicago (October 16-19, 2014: http://gayromlit.com/grl-authors).

Today author is J.P. Barnaby:
Award winning romance novelist, J. P. Barnaby has penned over a dozen books including the Little Boy Lost series, Aaron, and In the Absence of Monsters. As a bisexual woman, J.P. is a proud member of the GLBT community both online and in her small town on the outskirts of Chicago. A member of Mensa, she is described as brilliant but troubled, sweet but introverted, and talented but deviant. She spends her days writing software and her nights writing erotica, which is, of course, far more interesting. The spare time that she carves out between her career and her novels is spent reading about the concept of love, which, like some of her characters, she has never quite figured out for herself. #Survival #Realism #Love

But when he answered an ad for a roommate and met mysterious doctor, Ethan Bryant, he's brought into a world he never knew existed and his path changes. It changes again for Jayden and he leaves Ethan with their friend, Lexi, in tow. Ethan loses himself in a haze of self-destruction and pain.
