Andrew Gray, First Male Author to Receive RWA Centennial Award for publishing 100 M/M novels

Riverdale Avenue Books just published Andrew Grey’s novella, The Photographer’s Assistant. He will be the first male author to receive the Romance Writers of America Centennial Award, an honor for publishing 100 romance novels, and the only M/M author to be recognized.

In The Photographer’s Assistant, Christian Coulliet is the premier gay erotic photographer in the country. His pictures are spectacular because he will go to whatever length is necessary to get the photographs he wants, including having sex with his models. His assistant, David Weatherby is attracted to Christian in a big way but has seen Christian brush off so many men, and he doesn’t want to be another notch on Christian’s photographic bedpost. What David doesn’t realize is that Christian has noticed and watches, but stays away because David works for him, and because he feels that David deserves someone better.

“Andrew Grey is a unique talent in the M/M romance world and we are honored to be re-publishing this sexy novella as he receives his much-deserved Romance Writers of America Centennial Award for being the only male author, and the only author of M/M romance, to publish 100 romance titles,” said Publisher Lori Perkins.

“I had a ball writing this story. It’s a secret fantasy of mine to have been able to be a model and I definitely would have taken a handsome photographer for a spin if I had gotten the chance, ” said Grey.
