The son of a Southern Baptist preacher who was married to a man I buried April 10, 2017. My husband Daniel kept here as I write. Except for one story, all stories are him and me. He will never be forgotten.

I was born in New York just after WWII when, because of the Depression and the war, the city seemed very little changed from the 1920s. I spent a lot of time listening to my grandparents, hearing what the area was like from when they were born in the 1880s, so it was like living in multiple time periods. I grew up in the suburbs, spent the next 20 years freelancing a design career in the Midwest and Northeast then followed that career to Los Angeles.

Most of my stories are contemporary explorations of gay men finding themselves and coming to terms with their sexuality, often in the face of family issues. Usually written with a relatively light touch, and with some romantic element. I am based in London (UK), and stories have a British setting, often set in the Midlands or North where my own roots are.

Formerly living outside New Orleans, there's lots of variety here--and plenty of that shows up in my writing. I like to think my characters talk and act like we all do in our own lives....easy, natural, and hopefully, interesting! Now in rural north Louisiana, and the characters here are just as interesting--just very different! Variety IS the spice of life, right?
