C.J. Baty here, and I’ve been writing gay romance stories since 2014. I’m a mountain girl. Most of my stories take place in the Southern States where there are lots of trees. I was writing on FanFiction several years before I first published. This September, my husband and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary! At the moment, we are sharing our home with my son, daughter and her boyfriend, 4 cats and a very spoiled dog named Chip. I love reading and writing about strong male characters who worked through their issues to find a happily ever after. During these turbulent times, I stand with love, no matter the color, orientation, or beliefs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 What is the title of your most recent release?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Death Train is a Pinkerton Man Story and was released last year. More adventures for Stiles and Michael will be coming later this year. And a new contemporary romance as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 Is there a book or a movie that has helped you have a better understanding of a current or past event in LGBTQ history?<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can’t say a specific book or movie has helped. But I have made a few friends through my writings that have really helped me understand things from their side. One particular author I know, and a photographer have helped me understand the LBGQT+ community much better. The fears and concerns of the present situation in our country are very real. I wish I could do more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 If you could have dinner with a famous person from the LGBTQ community, past or present, who would that be and why?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Oh, my goodness what a question! I have no idea how to reply to that. There are so many who have done so much and given so much, even their very lives. I’m sorry I just don’t have an answer for this one.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 I can hear the complaints now. If you think 1 person is unfair please use this space for additional dinner guests and why you chose them?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I am Facebook friends with several male and female in the spectrum. Some have had a good life and have a settled husband or wife; and others who have had horrible experiences from childhood into adulthood. (I won’t name names because they are friends.) I’d love to have them all at my dinner table and hug each one of them just to let them know that I care about their experiences good or bad. And there’s more of us who do care, than they know.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 Do you have a favorite review(s) of one of your books left by a reader? Care to share the title of the book, the review, and why this one stood out to you.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I have no idea who this review came from and the fact that it covered several of the Pinkerton Man books in one review was astonishing to me, but here goes. “I thought it would behoove me to engage readers for a moment to let you know that this is an astonishingly terrific adventure-love story with three brilliantly detailed MC’s: Stiles Long, the Pinkerton Man; Lizzie Ferguson, his best friend but not lover; and Michael O’Leary, who lurked around in Book 1 and came into his own in the next one as the linchpin for all that follows between the three of them. I cannot give this series anything less than across-the-board five stars for milieu (early 1900s), character development, plot line and incredibly steamy love scenes. I cannot wait for the fifth, but meanwhile, grab the first four and wallow in astonishment at how good this series is.” It still gives me chills!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
