Edward Kendrick is my guest today and I must say a fascinating
person. A very enjoyable blog posting and plus Weekends sounds amazing. A must
add to my to be read pile. Without further ado, Edward Kendrick.
Thank you
very much for having me here today AJ.
A bit about
my, well history if you will.
I was born
and bred Cleveland, heading off to college when I was eighteen where I earned my
BA in technical theater. I returned to
Cleveland where I did a stint as an intern with a professional theater. While I
was there I discovered I loved costuming. So when my year was up I headed to
NYC and did the usual restaurant jobs as well as finding some work off-Broadway.
I stayed for three years but finally saw the futility of trying to become rich
and famous as a costumer in the Big Apple. I joined VISTA, ending up in Chicago
for another three years. Then it was on to Denver where I put down roots and
worked as a costume designer until just recently.
I began
writing about ten years ago after joining an on-line fanfic group. Two friends
and I then started a group for writers where they can post any story they wish
no matter the genre or ‘heat rating’. I’ve now branched out into writing on my
own, primarily M/M stories, both erotic and just ‘romantic’, for publication.
G.A. Hauser gave me my first break, publishing a short story of mine in
‘Julian’. Then, as luck would have it,
Silver Publishing accepted my first submission of a full-length story and I’ve
been with them ever since.
My most
recent book, ‘Weekends’, is due out on July 21st
Blurb:
Marcus Hampton is a staid forty-year-old bookkeeper and a
confirmed bachelor. When Demitri Costas, a young photographer, asks if he can
take some pictures of Marcus, the older man is surprised but reluctantly
agrees.
Demitri becomes infatuated with Marcus, despite the
fact he believes the man is straight and married.
Slowly they become friends until each realizes the
other is gay, at which point Marcus begins to pull away, certain he is too old
for Demitri.
It will take everything within Demitri's power to
convince Marcus he's wrong. If he can, and he is determined he will, one way or
another, they just might find a future together.
