Welcome. My nonfiction consists of the HOW TO WRITE series for fiction and nonfiction writers. My fiction is gay romance not intended for readers younger than age eighteen. I like humor, strong plots, vivid cultural details, and complicated characters and hope to offer you the same. For four years, I was one of five paid reviewers for the All Romance Ebooks newsletter until the reviewing program was discontinued. I was the reviewer for the gay romance category. Currently I am the editor of the Fiction Writing topic at BellaOnline.com where I publish weekly articles, a newsletter, and forum advice on how to write fiction. Most recently, I have become the editor of the Romance Novels topic at BellaOnline.com where I review both traditional romance novels and LGBT romance novels.Please feel free to contact me at http://www.bellaonline.com/about/fictionwriting (contact form)http://www.bellaonline.com/about/romancenovels (contact form)http://www.obsidianbookshelf.com (author website)http://www.amazon.com/Val-Kovalin/e/B00455M7Z2 (Amazon page)
