Query Books - Kickstarting a New Small Press

Check out my one-minute stop-motion love letter to LGBT literature made to help Query Books' Kickstarter campaign! They'll be republishing out-of-print books by renowned authors.
Query Books, started by Ken White, a book industry professional and former manager at San Francisco's Books Inc. in the Castro, has revealed his plans to start a small press focusing on out-of-print books by notable gay authors.

Among the rewards for supporters are print and ebook editions of their first project, James Broughton's Coming Unbuttoned. 

It was great fun sorting through my current book collection, and spending an afternoon taking pictures for this little clip. The first draft was about six minutes long, so I just edited and sped up a few sections. 

While I am an obsessive book collector, specifically of LGBT literature and nonfiction, over the years I've given away so many more books that weren't in my home when I shot this. But still, I hope it entertains and inspires.

Donate what you can, and support queer lit!

Wheely Great Deal: Free Kindle Week

With a special promotion going on this week, there's no excuse for Kindle readers not to enjoy my fourth novel. Every Time I Think of You is free to download today, Monday February 20, through Friday February 24.

That's right. It's free! Numerous other author pals have recommended this a great promotional tool, so I've jumped on board. Hey. if people can offer President's Day sales on cars and mattresses, why not a book?

Also, I've joined Amazon Prime in offering Every Time I Think of You free to share for members, now through May20, 2012.

Here are a few new published reviews:

It's not easy to write a novel about sports, gay teenagers and sex in (and out of) wheelchairs. Jim Provenzano has done it, with grace and power. All readers - disabled or not - can stand and applaud." - Dan Woog, The Outfield

"A beautiful story of friendship, devotion and love" - Bob Lind Echo Magazine (forthcoming)

"This is a unique coming of age story replete with the surprise one feels when he realizes that he is in love." - Amos Lassen Reviews

"Provenzano’s sense of pace and plotting are dead on ... and his prose is straightforward and never showy. It’s a well-told tale whose aim to inform as well as entertain certainly hits the mark." - Out in Print
