Mark's Novels

I have read several of Mark's novels online and enjoyed them all. In my opinion, the best one by far is "The Soccer Field is Empty". I guess that makes sense though because all the other novels are sort of spin-offs from it. Thanks for writing such great books. T...

Thanks... if I may...

First - english is not my native language, so sorry if I sound strange. Second - for all the books I read, I might be a gay boy, but I'm not. I'm a middle aged gay friendly mom. Sorry for that too though it's something I can't help. Third and main - a couple of...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kind of embarrassing

Hi Winterstone, Yeah, after I saw that Mr. Donaghe had stolen my first book, because he found my chicken scratch writing in the Big Chief Tablet and decided to publish it, I had to stop and think awhile. Then I decided that maybe he did it to help gay kids, and af...

Kind of embarrassing

Just wanted to say that I think Mark Roeder's books are great; but I did want to introduce myself. Though I'm not an author, Ronald L. Donaghe has found my journals as has begun to publish them. He did it without my permission, because he had no idea how to reach me...

Re: Mark's books are great!

I had to write as soon as I finished 'Keeper of Secrets'. What an amazing book. Amazon will not allow posting on this book yet (for some reason, although they did last week), so as soon as I can post a review, the following is what I am planning on saying: Amazo...

Mark's books are great!

What can I say about Mark's books! I was one of the lucky ones that got to read them in the correct order. I have been hooked on them from day one. I just got Keeper of Secrets in the mail, and am already devouring it. It amazes me how Mark is able to intertwine...

Keeper of Secrets

Mark has done it again. Keeper of secrets reaches down to your most inner sole, and pulls out emotions that you never knew existed. After every novel Mark seems to elevate his writing to new boundries and takes us to places like no other author can. If you haven't...

No Subject

Wow! I just finished A Better Place and let me say i'm still in shock. It was by far the best book I have ever read in my 30 years. I can't wait to get all the rest of Mark's books. The only thing that was a drawback is that ABP is the 3rd book in the series so I...

A Better Place

I wanted first to say that A BETTER PLACE was one of the best gay novels that I have read for quite some time. I found Mark's technqiue of alternative perspectives from chapter to chapter a clever way to capture the unique personalities of each character. Living in...

Re: A Better Place

I'm hoping to finish my new novel, "A Better Place", by the end of the year. I'm currently working on another novel, currently titled "Do You Know That I Love You", that is in its first draft. It's about a young rock star, a teenaged boy, and... Well, I don't want to...

the author

These books give a fresh and honest view of gay youth. It is nice to read books that give some idea of gay teen's problems. I look forward, eagerly, to reading any and all of Mark's future books.
