Hello and Happy Pride!
UPDATE June 2024: Evie McGlynn now has 4 books out! Sunrise just came out so I haven't yet read it, but the others are all fantastic. Starlight - swoon!
Here's my original post:
For Pride Month 2023, I’d like to share some of the fabulous books and authors I’ve discovered when I started reading novels featuring LGBTQ or LGBTQ-friendly characters or written by LGBTQ or LGBTQ-friendly authors back during my furlough during the 2020 lockdown.
For Day 2, I'd like to introduce you to Evie McGlynn!
Evie McGlynn is a writer who raised a family, went back to school for a Master's Degree, then started writing novels. She's the author of Moonlight, her debut novel in the Down the Shore series of romance novels. It's a fantastic novel filled with music that hits you in all the feels!
From the blurb:
I was the most sought-after concert pianist in the world. Now I barely leave my apartment. Injury and addiction have taken their toll, and I can't seem to get my life back on track.
My best friend wants to send me on a month-long vacation to the Moonlight Inn to get ready to play for his wedding. In New Jersey. The place where I almost died. My friends think I should get “hot and heavy” at the Jersey shore, but I just want to be able to perform again.
I didn’t anticipate meeting someone like Sean O’Neil, the owner of Moonlight Inn. He’s down-to-earth and kind, and when I’m with him, I feel unaccountably safe. His quiet encouragement helps me conquer my fears and get back in front of an audience.
As my confidence grows, the world I thought closed to me, opens once more. Word spreads of my return, and people from around the globe are asking me to play for them. At last, I can get back to doing what I love most.
But the luster of touring dulls when a tragedy in Sean’s life prevents him from joining me. Will I have to choose between the career I love and the man who holds my heart?

McGlynn has more novels in the works such as Sunset and Starlight. Watch for their releases on her Official Website.
I hope you'll check out her book. I'm sure you'll enjoy her writing as much as I did!
Take care, and happy reading!
