Hi readers!!!

It’s been two weeks since Go Easy on Me has been released and I gotta say…

THANK YOU!!!

This has been an amazing experience for my debut release and I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who purchased, reviewed, and shared Go Easy on Me.

On October 17, 2025, I walked into a PACKED Book Launch event for Go Easy on Me at Park Books in Severna Park, MD. There were Specialty Cocktails (called The Love Triangle-ish), cookies that were in the shape of Theo’s dog Hamilton, and tons of both familiar and new faces clapping as I walked on the stage. I was able to talk to my pal, Melody (the owner of Park Books) about my debut and answer some really great questions about my writing process, my self-publishing journey so far, and what drew me to telling Theo’s story.

Another huge accomplishment is that Go Easy on Me reached #4 on Amazon’s LGBT+ Literary Fiction (Kindle) and #7 on Amazon’s LGBT+ Literary Fiction (Print Book) categories!

Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought Theo, Randall, and Javier’s stories would have resonated so much with so many different people. Thank you to everyone who has shared how much this story spoke to them. It’s all I’ve ever wanted from Go Easy on Me and it’s coming true. I’m so honored, touched, and truly relieved. Honestly.

BUT! It’s not over yet. Oh no, it’s only beginning…

A book’s release is just the start gate, so there is still a lot of time left to allow Go Easy on Me to make an impact. If you have purchased it, please leave a review on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Fable, etc. Reviews help others decide whether or not to pick up a book and give it a try!

If you still want to buy a copy of Go Easy on Me (they are GREAT Holiday Gifts – wink, wink) here are a couple links you can purchase from:

Again, thank you so much and I can’t wait to see what happens next with GO EASY ON ME!

Go easy on you,

Bradley
