A short Christmas tale for the holidays.

A moment in the lives of two young people, Alexander (Alex) Weston and Mathew (Matty) Tetherton, and of those around them, and others whose paths they cross.

“As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same”

The lyrics of the song by David Bowie just about sum it up.

These books were part of my first venture into writing and even if I revised and edited them, they are probably still a little amateur, something you will have to forgive and concentrate on the story.

Two friends meet up with a stranger in the Pyrenees who gradually tells them his story of life and love in the last years of Franco's regime when homosexuality was a crime. We meet Ximo and the love of his life. Can that love survive what life in a dictatorship throws at them?

When a beautiful 24-year-old is strangled and dumped on the pristine tenth fairway of Wilshire Country Club, Detective Daniel Vega’s first day back from exile becomes the fastest murder solve in West Bureau history.

One espresso martini selfie, one navy Hermès tie, one panicked rich lawyer, and eight hours are all Danny needs to turn a country-club morning into a career-ending afternoon.

Some people think money and a perfect handicap can buy silence.

Detective Vega is about to prove them wrong, one handcuffed swing at a time.

When Travis Buck becomes famous for playing golden boy Jackson Pryce in the TV hit Palisades, the role begins to consume him. Off screen, he hides trauma, addiction, and a secret relationship with his best friend, Will Schluter — while his co-star Ken “Kendo” Dolan lures him deeper into self-destruction. As Travis’s real life mirrors Jackson’s unraveling, fame, love, and control collide. Forced into isolation to survive, he must decide whether to keep performing the perfect life everyone expects — or risk everything to be real.

Travisty is a story about identity, survival, and the cost of being seen.
