Hi. Thanks for dropping by.

Fiction about gay men tends to be slotted into two categories: literary or MM. My novels, I hope, fall somewhere in between. I make no pretence of being the next Stuart Douglas or Ocean Vuong. Neither do I write with pre-fab characters or tired tropes.

But I do write about romance, otherwise known as love. The absence of love, the yearning for love, and the achievement of love are at the core of these stories - seasoned with wit, sex and adventure. And, spoiler alert, I believe in happy ends.

My goal is to write stories about lives that, while entirely fictional, are rooted in some kind of reality. My characters are imperfect. They make mistakes. Some can be hard to like. Until we find out why. They have problems. They have pasts. But they all have one thing in common. They want more out of life.

I hope you enjoy these stories. Readers describe them as "not cookie-cutter romances," and say they "straddle the boundary between gay fiction and M/M," and "add fiber to your diet." I'm good with that and I hope you will be too.

If you'd like to receive news of forthcoming books, sales and ARC offers, please contact me. Thanks again. Patrick.
