I am a gay man living in Missouri...I can hear the gasps already!! How very un-chic of me, yes I know. It was here I was born and here I have stayed.
I'm currently single but always looking for that special someone that makes my heart skip a beat...in addition to being able to put up with my neurotic ass. The worst thing about being a romance writer is finding a real life hottie that can live up to the fantasy I create in my head and subsequently thrust upon him before actually getting to know the real him. I can hear you getting all judgie...it's an occupational hazard!! To all my past and future boyfriends, my sincerest apologies...I can't help myself!
I was the youngest of four children and the only boy, so needless to say, I was spoiled rotten. I've always had an extravagant fantasy life. When I played with my Star Wars action figures as a child, I liked to make up my own stories. Naturally, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were totally meant for each other, and Princess Leia made a bitchin' wise cracking Fag Hag.
I somehow managed to survive high school living in a small racist town in Southeast Missouri and emerged unscathed, realizing life was too short to pretend to be anything other than who I was. I was the little homo that could...so damn it, I did! It was all very Lifetime Movie Network meets After School Special I assure you.
After a few stints in college, I eventually signed up for a Creative Writing course. I took the class because there were no tests. For once my scholastic laziness paid off, and I found an outlet for all the fantasies running amuck in my head. It was love at first write, and I've been doing it off and on ever since.
Now I've decided it's time to un-barricade the doors and unleash my imagination onto the world. So very sorry world!! With the help of the lovely and talented team at Loose Id and MLR Press, my fantasy life is now available for public consumption. I'm desperately hoping you're really, really hungry.

Fellow author, K-lee Klein sat me down and asked me all about my nuts before forcing me into my very own Sophie’s Choice nightmare! I can’t remember the last time I’ve sweat that much…let’s see…would’ve been around the last time I went to the gym or had sex……
Still thinking…..still thinking…..

I was the Author of the Month during July at QMO (Queer Magazine Online). Anders gave me an entire month! I was so surprised and delighted! Of course, now I’m wondering how I might go about getting an entire year. Don’t judge…every boy needs a worthy goal. Cash bribes or sexual favors…such quandary’s?

I went Down Under to have a Queer Moment with Justin James, for QPM. He drilled me mercilessly about my book, Dreaming of You. I was shocked to discover that 'Down Under' is actually a geographical reference as opposed to a more polite way of saying, "On your knees, bitch."
I can't believe I fell for that...twice!

Hales from The Novel Sisterhood Blog invited me to stop by so she could probe me about all things authorish. While I wasn't given a membership to the Sisterhood, I was provided a free, three day pass and a sweet T-shirt that has, Sisterhood Has A Price, written across the chest. On the back there's a large arrow pointing down with the added instructions, Place Your Deposits Here. I wear that thing EVERYWHERE!
