Thirty years ago, I started writing m/m romance. My writing remained a secret lest my friends thought me a freak. Writing about men inserting tab A into slot B didn’t seem the norm for a female teenager. Reading Gordon Merrick, John Rechy and Larry Kramer helped me fill in informational gaps. Yes, I read these books in my bedroom. As the years progressed and I discovered my sexual path, I still wrote m/m romance, although the stories progressed from lurking in notebooks to hiding on the computer. Running B-Side, an indie music magazine, helped develop my dialogue and description skills. While traveling to interview bands, writing fiction percolated in the background. Traveling also offered me new backdrops and locations for my stories. Now I am glad I kept the writing faith. Six published novellas and novels later, my life is a fun quandary of too many stories hindered by slow typing skills. I accept the silly challenge. When not obsessing over unique ways to describe erotic encounters, I enjoy reading, gardening or more like trying not to kill everything, traveling, arguing politics and teaching my house bunnies tricks. Unfortunately, the furry furies refuse to answer e-mails or blog posts. They also refuse to clean their litter boxes. Brats. I enjoy cooking for my beloved partner because she endures the endless experiments with grace. I hope my manic devotion to words and romance connects with my readers. Is that a sincere enough ending? Drat, the sentiment needs work. Blame my sloppy muse. Now for my bio’s promo section: In 2011, Dreamspinner Press released the romantic Serpent and Elf fantasy Canes and Scales, the dark comedy To Save A Shining Soul, sad short Baron’s Last Hunt and the sci-fi dramedy Divine Devine’s Love Song, although I don’t think readers know about Divine. My next short novella, Love in Focus, was released as part of DPS’s Time is Eternity anthology. Although no animals were harmed in the story, cats did not like it. Silver Publishing unleashed sexy incubus Amando and his story Temptation of the Incubus in October 2011. An Elf for All Centuries, introducing sexy, bratty Prince Fabion, released on May 26 through Silver with lovely reviews in tow. Huzzah! It also made at least one top ten list. Cool. Cupid Knows Best, my comedic contemporary Dreamspinner release in October 2012, is my latest effort. I think I offended a few more cats. What can I say; my hero has hamsters. Guess that's not heroic enough for the masses.
