A Friendship that Will Last a Lifetime

by T.A. Chase

When I went to the very first GRL in New Orleans, I was going to meet people I’d become friends with online. Wonderful people who read and wrote the same kind of books that I did, so I wouldn’t feel out of place when I said I read gay romance.

Little did I know that I would meet someone who would become one of my closest friends and a perfect author who seems to be able to tie into my mind. We like to call it our hive mind.

Devon Rhodes has a terrible habit of losing her room key. (She won’t mind me telling you that…lol) We were on the same floor in New Orleans and she asked me to keep one of her extra keys. That way when she lost hers or left it in her room, she could come and find me to let her in.

I was more than happy to do that. We hung out together and discovered our minds seemed to work in the same way. (which should be scary to people…lol) So we were friends by the end of the first GRL.

Devon and I decided to room together at Albuquerque for the second GRL. Again, we discovered how well we fit. By the time she got to the hotel, I’d already put all my clothes away and my side of the room was neat and organized. She did the exact same thing when she arrived before we did anything else.

In Albuquerque, we hatched our International Men of Sports series, which has eight books in it so far and there will be more. Plus we’ve come up with other series we will be writing together as well.

It’s rare to find a person that one seems to have some kind of connection with. While we’re writing and chatting together, we’ll have moments where we’ll type in the exact same thing at the same time. We call that our hive mind. It can be weird, but awesome as well.

My experiences at GRL have always been so much fun and entertaining. I love meeting all the readers and authors who make up the genre, but what I’ll always remember about my first GRL is meeting Devon and making a friend for life.

About A Grand Prix Romance

This is book seven in the International Men of Sports series.

Two men who share a passion for speed find out what can happen if they slow down enough for a Grand romance.

Paolo’s more than just a football player—he plays at life. But underneath the party boy image, he’s well aware that his career is stagnating and a big move might be needed. Before anything like that can be decided, though, he’s going to enjoy his annual trip to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix.

The only thing Johann loves more than his Formula One racing is gambling in the glittering atmosphere of Monaco. This year, he finds that high stakes applies to more than just cards—his heart is going all in and if he bets it all and loses, it could cost him everything.

Available at: Totally Bound, Amazon, All Romance eBooks & Barnes and Noble
