I write fiction with rainbow colors, focusing on M/M Romance and LGBT-themed literary fiction. After too many years of writing for business and education, I successfully rose to the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) challenge. Now, with almost a half million words on disk, I think I'm ready to release a few chapters to the public.
This is the place where most romance authors tell you about their hectic lives with a supportive spouse, crazy children and counter-productive cats. Well, I have none of these: I'm gay-divorced with no kids and my only pooch died of cancer years ago. I live in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Nevada with little to to but write -- so, perhaps now you want to be me or want to submit a boyfriend application...

I swear my three-volume soap-opera novel is not autobiographical but rather the confessional memoir of a boy embarrassed by riches. The first two books are the journey of a handsome, talented, high school loner, David, who breaks away from his trailer-trash roots to grow up and come out in the 1990s. The third installment follows David to college, where he becomes a super model with Olympic athlete dreams and the most sought after boy-toy slash porn star in Hollywood. Until he isn’t. The fourth book finds David twenty years later, a successful screen writer with a past that comes back to haunt him.
Another series of mystery/thriller stories is about a religious order which, on the surface, runs orphanages and schools for special children. However, a secret arm of the order serves as undercover enforcers of justice inside the Church -- from secretly dealing with indulgences of the 15th Century to curtailing sex-abuser priests in modern times. The order recruits its agents from their high-tech Collegium for Gifted Boys, nestled in a mountain valley high in Swiss Alps. Of course, the Church disavows all knowledge of what the order gets up to, because the boys know where all the bones are buried -- in so many ways.
Watch for more about “Confessions”, the "Secret order of St. Lazarus" and other projects I'm working on.
