Authors

While most of Graeme's stories are drama or romance, amongst his many tales you can find a little bit of everything, including comedy and science fiction. Often these come in a different point of view: from the father or brother of a gay son, the mother of a suicide, through the guy who learns his friend is gay. The narrator can also range from a character who may or may not be insane to an alien observing a human relationship, so he has something for everyone!

I write literary fiction and M/M romance—books about men who've built themselves around discipline and distance, and what happens when someone gets close enough to test it. Some are quiet and slow. Some are explicit. Most sit somewhere in between, and I'm more interested in the moment a man decides to be seen than in tidy endings.

I'm American, I've lived most of my life somewhere other than where I started, and I currently write out of Colombia with a golden retriever who runs the place.

My mind has always preferred to be elsewhere than the here and now and as a child it was the past, or fiction set in worlds that have never existed, that set me alight and dragged me into libraries and bookshops. Even as a kid I liked creating alternative worlds. My story Terre Nouvelle is set in a world I created in my teenage bedroom to find escape from the grimness of adolescent reality. But creating stories is not the same as generating places in which they might happen, and the creative energy they're drawn from come from deep within. It's from my gayness that I draw it, and so my characters generally live in that alternative place as well as in alternative worlds.
