Author: chaseconnorbooks

Chase Connor currently lives in Des Moines, Iowa with his husband, his dog, Rimbaud, and spends his days writing about the people who live (loudly and rent-free) in his head when he’s not busy being enthusiastic about naps and Pad Thai. Chase started his writing career as a confused gay teen looking for an escape from reality. Ten years later, one of the books he wrote during those years, Just A Dumb Surfer Dude: A Gay Coming-of-Age Tale, was published independently. Now with The Lion Fish Press (and almost 20 books later), Chase has numerous projects in various stages of completion and lined up for publishing. Chase is a multi-genre author, but always with a healthy dollop of gay. Chase can be reached at chaseconnor@chaseconnor.com Or on Twitter @ChaseConnor7
The Tragic Backstory

The Tragic Backstory

7 Oct 20222 Oct 2022 chaseconnorbooks

Recently, with the release of Hocus Pocus 2 and The Rings of Power, a divisive discussion has arisen once again on Twitter. Not that it ever really goes away... Villains. Bullies. Douchebags. Do we want to know why they are the way they are? Do we care about their origin story? Should we bother to… Continue reading The Tragic Backstory

What Took You So Long?

What Took You So Long?

16 Sep 202215 Sep 2022 chaseconnorbooks

My babies. Those are my books. I think that's how all writers feel about their creations. The stories they write and the characters they breathe into life are their little babies they want to protect with every bit of strength in their bodies. Although, writers also want to send their creations out into the world… Continue reading What Took You So Long?

First Lines

First Lines

9 Sep 20228 Sep 2022 chaseconnorbooks

Recently, the topic of writers having a great first line in their novels popped up on Twitter. It gets discussed monthly on the bird app--like a million other writing and reading topics. Writers are told by publishers, editors, and even readers, that the first line can be of paramount importance to the success of a… Continue reading First Lines

LIMINAL SPACES

LIMINAL SPACES

19 Aug 202216 Aug 2022 chaseconnorbooks1 Comment

I have what some might politely refer to as a "fascination." No. I'm not talking about food. Or raccoons. Or cross-stitch. Or murder and murderers. It's not about rare, fatal diseases or unique poisons. Be quiet. There are places--in between--here and there. Places where time and reason and reality seem to...shiver. Liminal spaces. The literal… Continue reading LIMINAL SPACES

Life Happens

Life Happens

I'll try to keep today's blog post short and sweet since it's not a "typical" blog post. Not to worry, the next blog post will be "typical!" A life event--a wonderful life event--has occurred for me. One that requires a lot of my time and attention. Something that I can't half-ass with any good conscience.… Continue reading Life Happens

Hope/Possibility

Hope/Possibility

8 Jul 20224 Jul 2022 chaseconnorbooks2 Comments

In THE WARMTH OF OUR CLOSEST STAR (ENZO & PETER #2), a character named Alex says: “Hope is the belief that some course of action we take—some decision—will make our lives better. You know, we’ll say or do the right thing that fixes everything. But that’s not really what hope is. It’s the resolve to… Continue reading Hope/Possibility

Possibly Texas FAQs

As I threatened on Twitter a week ago, today I'm going to answer some Frequently Asked Questions about my LGBTQ+ Magical Realism novel POSSIBLY TEXAS. It dropped on March 25th, 2022 (pick up a copy or read it on Kindle Unlimited here) so it has been 3 months since its release. It seems enough time… Continue reading Possibly Texas FAQs
