Hello, and thanks for being here to Celebrate Pride Month with Twinsie Talk. I’m Twinsie Tenise, self proclaimed resident MM reader and reviewer over here at TwinsieTalk. Throughout the Month of June we will be sharing Q&A sessions we had with over a dozen authors who write LGBTQIA Romance or books with LGBTQIA characters. Each day will Spotlight a different author. We hope you enjoy getting to know these wonderful authors and find lots of new books to fill your TBR.
Special thanks to all of the authors who signed up and took the time to answer the questions.
Shoutout and HUGE thank you to Twinsie Jo for the amazing rainbow graphics and Twinsie Angie for her input and assistance. Love you both!
Today we are celebrating pride month with Author NR Walker
Author also writes as A. Voyeur
N.R. Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance. She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
She is many things; a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who she gives them life with words.
She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things…but likes it even more when they fall in love. She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal.
She’s been writing ever since…
🏳️🌈What’s your name and a little about you?
I’m N.R. Walker. I’m an Aussie author of LGBTQIA romance, and I’ve been published since 2011.
🏳️🌈What made you decide to write LGBTQIA romance?
I found queer romance in fanfiction a loooong time ago and began reading and then writing it. It’s been my passion ever since.
🏳️🌈Do you prefer to write standalones or series? Why?
I don’t really prefer one over the other. I write what the characters tell me to write, and if that’s one shorter standalone book, or a whole series, that’s what I write. However long it takes. I wish I could plan/map out series and write to market but unfortunately, that’s not how my brain works.
🏳️🌈Do you have a current WIP? Care to share any details?
I just finished writing my latest WIP. It’s an 80,000 word standalone, Australian historical, cowboy – very Man From Snowy River ish. I’m aiming for a May release.
🏳️🌈What are your must have writing snacks and drinks?
Coffee and/or Pepsi Max. I love snacks I keep on my desk, like a little bento box of grapes, apple, cheese, crackers etc.
🏳️🌈If someone has never read your work, which book would you recommend?
My catalogue is very big and varied so it would depend on their preferences and mood. If you like light and funny, then Bloom or Upside Down. If you like steamy, EWB or Bossy. If you like angst, Galaxies and Oceans.
🏳️🌈If you could recommend 1 LGBTQIA Romance (not your own) to readers, what would that book be?
Oooooh… tough question LOL I always recommend Widdershins by Jordan L Hawk.
🏳️🌈What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love watching BL (Boy Love) shows! And reading, of course 😉
🏳️🌈Anything else you would like to add?
Thank you for having me here!

My 5 star review for 65 Hours
An ad agency has 65 hours to put together a campaign that will wow the client. The best 2 ad executives are put on the job. In order to get the job done, they are basically stuck together for the next few days. One begins to wonder is it even possible for them to complete this job in the time allotted? As the clock counts down to the final hour, a new– dare I say– romance begins to form. And what these 2 men discover about themselves and each other as the chapter numbers climbed was incredible. But will any of what they experienced even matter when Monday arrives and reality comes crashing through their bubble?
Oh my gosh! I already want to reread this book. I loved these 2 men, their chemistry, banter, and the entire storyline. Coming out is not easy, it should be but sometimes fear over what others think or how others may react, make coming out for some a bit more difficult, sadly sometimes impossible. I felt Cameron’s pain and struggle but I also was pleased with response from those he loved most. I was rooting for a HEA and I just cannot say enough great things. 65 Hours is going to be one of my annual Pride Month rereads. I give this cute, enemies to lovers, super steamy, coming out story– 5 rainbow stars!
