HOT TOPIC: Indie Author Day 2017
As libraries around the world celebrate the second annual Indie Author Day we here at the Banter thought it would be fun to join in and shine the light on some of the wonderful self-published authors we have discovered through our reading.
Not trying to name drop but if you’re looking to be tempted by male/male authors who give you everything from taboo and BDSM to contemporary and erotic romance, as well as dark and maybe a little sweet, might we recommend Max Vos, Todd Young, S.M. Johnson, Silvia Violet, and Jordan Castillo Price…just to name a few. *winks*
Want more? We thought so. Grab a drink, pull up a chair and keep reading as we highlight some of the indie authors and their books which have touched us since Kimmers’ Erotic Book Banter got its start. May you discover someone new today, happy reading!

As an adult, he eventually made his way to university and earned a degree in Art History with a strong focus on Anthropology. Primarily a portrait painter and graphic artist, Bey sat down one day and decided to start writing.

Meet Keira Andrews
If you enjoy reading steamy romances between two men who can’t live without each other, you’ve come to the right place.
After writing for years yet never really finding the right inspiration, Keira discovered her voice in gay romance, which has become a passion. She writes contemporary, historical, fantasy, and paranormal fiction and — although she loves delicious angst along the way — Keira firmly believes in happy endings. For as Oscar Wilde once said:
“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.”

Meet Tyler May
Tyler May was born and raised in the great state of Michigan, and still happily resides there. She is a stay at home mom to her three beautiful children. Tyler’s passion for reading came later in life when she found a love in romance novels, more specifically the male/male genre. After drawing inspiration from some wonderful authors and encouragement from friends and family; she penned her first full length novel: Angel of Darkness.
Tyler draws inspiration from the simple things in life and will never take that for granted.
Since Tyler is a LBGT author, she has three hopes when a reader picks up her book(s): She hopes that her books will teach tolerance and equality. She hopes to convey the truth behind the infamous saying, “love is love.” She hopes that the book is more than a story―that’s it a journey with an important message. Tyler’s favorite quote and something she always has tucked in the back of her mind as she writes her fictions: “Everything you can imagine is real.”―Picasso.

Meet Misha Horne
Misha Horne is an author of deliciously kinky M/M erotica that's often sprinkled liberally with romance. She's drawn to stories of young men discovering their naughty sides and exploring what love, lust, and life have to offer them-- especially when it's not what they expected.
Please expect heavy doses of spanking, dirty talk, explicit sex, and untidy emotion-- among other things. If you like stories where things get heated and stay hot, you're in the right place.
When she's not writing, she's probably reading, complaining about the Red Sox, or being destroyed in Mario Kart by her little brother for the nine zillionth time.
