Review: A wonderful look at writer's block!

Eric Arvin is in top form here as he masterfully crafts this story of a Gay Rom Lit author who is stuck in a box. His book is a work-in-progress and is going nowhere. His love life is also similar, that being more like being stuck in a cardboard box. His housemate is trying to lure Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses to the house for purposes of relieving her boredom.When Logan is assigned a new editor in the form of the very attractive Brock, he soon finds himself falling hopelessly in love, and his writer's block is sent into a downward spiral.There are moments of joy and revelation, of self reproach and deep despair, all with some wonderful light hearted humor that infuses this story of one man's search for himself. Arvin never takes himself too seriously here, it's all good. His wonderful prose uplifts the reader and always makes one feel that his work is most definitely a cut above the crowd. It is always refreshing to read great stories, told by a master craftsman, with real characters and situations. Well, mostly real, but nonetheless, sympathetic and enjoyable.One question remains with me, though. The use of the city of Verona and Verona College seems to be used in several other authors' work, most prominently that of Mark Roeder, but others as well. Is Verona a GRL thing, or what?
