I’m Laura Baumbach, author and owner of MLR Press, LLC. This is the first blog on the press’s newly constructed author blog. Jet Mykles and Maura Anderson, both authors here and both talented computer geeks *g* created this new venue for us and I’m very proud to make the first post.

MLR Press is a very author-centric press. We work our schedules around authors’ needs where we can, take our authors’ suggestions and creative ideas seriously, and love to give them the creative freedom to tell their masterful tales of mystery, love and romance. We even throw in a little lust and mayhem when we can. We publish M/M erotic romance and gay fiction, the very best we can find to offer to you.

Blogging has become such a rampant passtime for our technology- enthralled and capable society, it has earned a place in every author’s toolbox for generating a connection with their readers.  It’s a natural outlet for authors because if there is one thing we know how to do, it is express ourselves with the written word.

So each day we hope to bring a little of ourselves here to offer our readers. Glimpses of our lives, our likes, our work, our dreams and even some of our not-quite-ready-for-public-display snippets and story ideas. A new author will post every day, and some promo moments will surface whenever a new release hits the shelves, maybe at the same time. We hope this blog will be a place where readers and authors alike will feel comfortable, intrigued, up-lifted, entranced and possibly even startled by what we say and write.

We look forward to readers’ comments and questions, but we will be content just to have you pull up a chair, sit back, relax and get to know us and our work all a little better.   And if you have a topic you’d like us to discuss, leave a comment and we’ll consider it. We’re a pretty accommodating group. *g*
