I grew up in the rural Midwest before moving to the East Coast with a dashing young man who swept me off my feet, and we've now settled in the desert of Nevada. I write M/M contemporary romance, subgenres: sweet low angst, age-gap, cowboys, mysteries, and military/mercenary to name a few. I am a firm believer in "Love is Love" regardless of how it presents itself, and I'm a staunch ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I have a loving, supportive family, and I feel blessed by the universe and thankful every day for all I have been given. I’m old enough to know how to have fun, but too old to care what others think about my definition of a good time. In my heart and soul, I believe I hit the cosmic jackpot. Cheers! ...more

I notice you've given at least two books written by women five stars each. I know that a very few women can write believable gay men, but that the great majority of women writing in the field don't even try. Have Neuhold and Carrington cracked the code, or are your ratings simply professional courtesy? You might not want to enter this in public, so dmillerparker@gmail.com. I've beeen enjoying your books.

I'm glad you're enjoying my books. I'm always happy to know someone read something I've written and it resonated with them. Regarding your question of whether I believe Neuhold and Carrington have cracked the code regarding creating believable gay characters, I have to say I believe they, and many other female authors, are able to write gay characters that are multidimensional and not just stereotypical of what some believe gay men to be. Since you have read my books and seem to enjoy them, I'm guessing you believe I can also write believable gay men since I'm also a woman.
I don't believe in restricting one's writing to only females should write female characters or only men should write male characters. If we all believed that way, what a boring world this would be.
I hope that answers your question, and I'm not afraid to answer in public.
Cheers!

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

I imagine everyone has that question that they ask of themselves when they pause for self-reflection.

I'm a Midwesterner who moved my family to the East Coast, and now, some twenty-six years later, my husband and I have retired to the desert! I feel like I just learned to tie my shoes yesterday--but, that could be true as senility sets in!!

I'm grateful for every up and down I've had me in life that led me to doing what I love... writing MM Contemporary Romance, and I hope you'll take a look at my books. The Lonely Heroes are full of mystery!(less)

What I'm Doing!

Hi, friends!

Wow, the summer flew by and here we are in the middle of a beautiful fall. While the times might be uncertain, the falling of the leaves is constant, isn't it?

I've been busy over the summer, but I wanted to take a moment to tell you what's coming up! Two books in the "May-December Hearts Collection," have published--"A Wise Heart," and "Heart of Stone." I hope you'll check them out.

“I live in this fucking country, and I pay my goddamn taxes like every other asshole in this place.  If I can’t kiss the man I care about in public, then why are we on the street, risking our fucking lives every goddamn day?  Why not just let the bigots, racists, and greedy people take over?  Why should we try to uphold the law at all, Craig?  If the laws don’t apply to all of us, then why uphold any of them?”
