BLOG TOUR: Romeo X Julien by Mary Dumas & Bettina Kurkoski (Excerpt & Giveaway)
Mary Dumas and Bettina Kurkoski have a new MM/gay graphic novel out: Romeo X Julien. And there’s a giveaway!
Romeo Montague has always been a little awkward. His cousin, Benny, doesn’t help, often tossing him into situations unprepared; like dragging him to a Renaissance Faire in the middle of Wine Country.
Julien Capulet, a respected festival promoter, has his own quirks. While dealing with his crazy parents and goofy gay uncles, he holds out hope of meeting the one who’ll see past all the frills.
Romeo X Julien is a sexy homage to Will Shakespeare, with more comedy than tragedy. Entertaining and tender, it shows how the course of true love may never be smooth, and that the LGBTQ community has come a long way in a short time.
