My characters reflect the type of love and dedication I wish the world still held in abundance, rather than the egotistical and material thoughts and wants it holds so dear today. So, if you are looking to be sucked into different worlds of timeless bonds of love then check out my work. Leave a review if you wish. Rate if you are feeling generous. I’ll be here…wishing things could work out like they do in an old Meg Ryan movie.

A reader commented Carlos practices socially engaged storytelling. Not preachy, but raising awareness of issues facing the GLBT community and humanity in general. These are tales grounded in real life, featuring gay men dealing with everyday concerns about family, friends, and relationships. Characters are men who tackle challenges instead of backing away from them. The author’s love of motorcycles and travel and his contempt for social injustice often play a central role in his stories.

Carlos passed away June 16, 2023.

For the vast majority of my life I’ve lived in London, England, and worked in healthcare. Both have given me the chance to meet many different people in many different situations, which have all coloured my writing.

I am fascinated by how we live our lives, and as gay men how we find places for ourselves in today’s world, and how we lived in the past. So much of my writing tries to explore this, but it also explores issues and subjects that interest me or make me angry. Behind every headline is a story too.

I want to find the people in the situations and stories I write about.

As any writer, I value feedback to help improve my writing, so please leave a comment on the stories you read here.

Happy reading.

Born in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, a suburb of Amsterdam, Netherlands. American dad, Nederlands mom. Moved to The States in 1976, and have had mixed feelings about it since. Love the US, still feel Dutch, try to combine both.
View the world through rose-colored glasses. I once tried to remove them, but found it to be caused by my eyes after all. Prognosis: no cure.

I grew up a military BRAT in the South, and I'm told my writing has a Southern accent.
I am a technology professional and have written tons of manuals
It's time to write stuff that's more fun.
I write in a variety of genres but most typically Sci-fi and GLBT drama.

Just a New England girl, livin' in a writer's world. She took the midnight train goin' anywhere.
Writing lets me slip into worlds where I get to let my imagination fly. I love trying new things and delving into the lives of my characters.
So grab a ticket- they're free. Listen to the literary conductor... All aboard!

Originally from the land of Shakespeare, I've been slogging away at writing for many years (on and off). It's been fun, hard work, but rewarding and has been a great discipline for someone who treats writing as a past-time rather than as a way to put food on the table. I've had a couple of successes, lots of failures and have finally learnt how to take feedback, whether positive or constructive, gracefully, and in the way it's given.
