I write gay male erotica. My work requires a plot, and some of it is a slow burn, but the hot stuff does happen.

M/M romance with a heavily influence on mental health struggles with HEA. Sometimes featuring: explicit sex, heavy plots mixed with humor, and characters you may not always like.
The goal is to make people feel and perhaps think a little differently.

A former bartender and restaurant cook, Cole is now a paralegal for a nationwide law firm. He loves writing mysteries, love stories, and tales about gay men and their view of the world. Currently, he's working on a novel/mystery which is called So Weeps the Willow, a story in three parts. He's also going to Florida to do research for his next novel, set in the Sunshine State. He collects antique cookbooks, gardens and loves travel and biking.

My stories live in the everyday - in the quiet, ordinary moments where family, friendship, and love collide. They’re slice-of-life at heart: realistic, grounded, and woven with the kinds of small details that make life feel real, even when they seem mundane.

I write about characters learning who they are, navigating relationships that can lift them up or break them down, and facing choices that often ripple far beyond themselves. Some stories close on a hopeful note, with growth and connection; others follow harsher truths, where endings can be bitter, even tragic. But no matter where they land, each story is about the struggle and beauty of personal growth, and how we’re shaped by the people closest to us.
