edit data

Colin Dereham is a Lambda Literary Award finalist who lives in country New South Wales, Australia, with his bf, bff, two very spoilt Italian greyhounds, and his gorgeous Seeing Eye dog, Yuja. After careers as an opera singer and an LGBT, mental health and community nurse, Colin decided to put his lit degree to use and start writing.

When he’s not holed up in his office squinting at a fifty-five inch monitor, Colin likes reading contemporary gay fiction, eating out, and being taken for long walks around the lake by Yuja.

Colin writes about bears and otters, the furry blokes in the gay community. His works are gritty kitchen sink dramas with happy endings of both kinds: frank and detailed erotic scenes; and uplifting, romantic conclusions.

"The Lookout" issues addressed

***This post does not contain plot spoilers, but does reveal issues raised in the book.

With the recent waves of comments regarding “The Lookout” I feel it’s time to discuss things further.

There are no claims made of a traditional romance HEA. It’s a story of a new threesome that ends as a twosome. I’ve always aimed to be as gritty and realistic as possible. All relationships are unique. People de Read more of this blog post »

Colin Dereham liked Robyn's review of Nervous Kid: "get the tissues ready. i dont know hoe he does it but colin mastered the art of writing the smuttiest of books that are also the most intensely emotional books.
