If you’re in the area, I encourage you to attend for a wonderful evening. She’s got a great lineup of panelists to be with her. I’m sad we won’t be able to be there to participate. I’ve only read a portion of the book so far, but it’s wonderful to read about each of the relationships.įor those in New York, Elisa is presenting the book at the LGBT Center on October 14th at 7pm. It’s astonishing to be a part of such a list of people.Ĭouple’s stories include how they met, what they do and other bits and pieces that make of a part of their history as a couple. Among the more contemporary couples are Bill Konigsberg & Chuck Cahoy (Bill is one of my very favorite authors), Matthew White & Thomas Schumacher, Andrew Frist & Tom Dolby, Brent Hartinger & Michael Jensen, Billy Merrell & Nico Medina. King, Abraham Lincoln & Joshua Fry Speed, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Some of the historical couples included are Alexander the Great & Hephaestion, Queen Christina of Sweden & Countess Ebba Sparre, James Buchanan & William R. It’s truly amazing being included in this books that looks at hundreds of LGBT couples, both historical and present day. The book Days of Love: Celebrating LGBT History One Story at a Timehas just been released in paperback and ebook. The honor grew November 2013 when she asked us if she could feature us in the book she was working on. Will and I were honored when we were written up on her website back in June of 2013 for a post that ran on my birthday (the post was updated and ran again Septemto commorate our wedding anniversary).

We’d known of her for longer than that because of the excellent blog she runs, Elisa’s Reviews & Ramblings, where she features LGBT literature (including the Rainbow Awards) and a huge catalog of LGBT couples throughout history. We met at the 2012 GayRomLit in Albuquerque. Will and I have known Elisa Rolle for a couple years now.
