After my furlough ending here in Britain meant I wasn't reading so much, I logged on to GoodReads for the first time in a fortnight to see that my favourite community on here, the M/M Romance group, has my debut novella, Circuit, nominated as one of their reads of the month of May!
To say I'm excited and flattered beyond belief would be an understatement. I wrote and self-published Circ
