My new novel I’m Going to Give the Gays Everything They Want is out today!

The guys from UnFriendzoneMe are back with a very special guest: pop icon and (former) gay diva Paulina Dieckman. Yes, that Paulina, the one everybody is talking about. She will join Harry, Matteo, Alistair, and Erik in an adventure full of humour, love, and drama.

I am trying out something new here – gay fiction meets chick lit!

So how does it sound to you?

In this story I’m living my fantasy of mixing two of my favourite genres: gay fiction and chick lit! I have to warn you though; this is not your typical gay romance (you know, shirtless hunk on the cover, bulletproof HEA guaranteed, lots of sex scenes…) but rather my own take of the chick lit genre, which I call Gay Chick Lit (if that is a thing!) or, in more plain words, Gay Lit. This is also a kind of tribute to my favourite show of all time, Sex and the City, but with gay characters as stars and with London as the set. I´m a gay man myself, single, with love issues, and live in the city, so I know what I’m talking about (at least I think so).

In I’m Going to Give the Gays Everything They Want you will find:

• Humour
• Drama (after all, Paulina is a star in telenovelas!)
• Love
• OTT situations
• More humour
• A star hitting rock-bottom
• Friendship and…
• Troubles!

Let me explain this last point:

Pop Latina icon Paulina (you’ve probably been wondering where she has been for the last few years!) is preparing for her big come back when she experiences the humiliation of her life, as one of her most embarrassing (and lowest) moments is exposed live on national TV. She escapes from the press with the help of Matteo, makeup artist and hopeless romantic, who takes her to his friends’ apartment where she hides, waiting for the storm to pass. Paulina is sure that her career is over. She feels utterly ashamed, defrocked, and doesn’t want to go back to the real world (she becomes quite addicted to Oreos too). But soon Paulina realises that she is not the only one whose life is a mess. Her new friends have their own problems to deal with:

–    Harry, unpublished writer and unemployed waiter, thinks that his boyfriend Will wants to break up with him, until he finds out that the truth is even worse … Will proposes! 

–    Alistair is a tech genius, but as intelligent as he is, he lets himself be taken advantage of by his co-worker Tanner … a lot. Love is blind, and Tanner … is straight. 

–    Matteo is still waiting for his Prince Charming, but he only picks arseholes. That includes his hunky friend Erik, who is a successful lawyer, but also emotionally unavailable, cocky, and tries to hide his bisexuality from his controlling mother. 

Are you looking for more drama?

Well, there’s a new character that I can’t reveal yet, but will turn the life of one of our guys up-side down …

I’m Going to Give the Gays Everything They Want is a fast-paced novel, written in short chapters told from different points of view, and with Harry and Paulina as the main characters.
