Reviewed

Brian Bromberger reviewed Take This Man: Gay Romance Stories for The Bay Area Reporter and had this to say about my contribution to the anthology:
"A few tales have special appeal, acknowledging that maintaining a long-term partnership involves hard work and compromise. I especially enjoyed Michael Bracken's 'Blue Heart,' about the evolving relationship of two undergraduates who met at the University of Texas in 2001, and how a gray chest hair sparks old memories."
