Introduction

This is my first attempt at a blog and, for a technophobe that is a big thing.

I have recently had two books published seeing the achievement of a lifelong dream. I am still very starry eyed and excited.

I love to read and I love to write and I love people. Put them all together (reading about the people who read my writing) and I'm in heaven, I mean it.

I have long been of the opinion that young gay people are woefully under-representing in the literary world and I have moaned about it with my daughter and her girlfriend. Then I thought, well if something is wrong see what you can do to fix it, and i started to write stories where the main characters are gay

Yes, some of my stories have sex in them but they are character development first, story second and romance third. I have real characters going through experiences that makes them grow. Yes, there is romance and even a tad of sex but that it absolutely secondary to the story, in most of my stories although there are the occasional erotic as a more important focus.

The Unfairness of Life is, at the same time a love story and a breathless adventure. Gabriel is running from his past which is fast catching up, and Laurie finds himself, first fascinated and then falling hopelessly in love with him. Although Gabriel tries to push him away, he is tenacious and won't give up on him, even when his past catches up with him with dramatic, drastic and almost fatal consequences.

Enigma is my favourite out of all the stories I have ever read. It is about a character called Silver who I am totally in love with. He starts off in resitential care, having reverted to a basically catatonic state after a horrendous experience (he was thrown out of a car on the verge of a motorway, after having been beaten half to death, and left to die) One of his carers, River manages to get close to him and gradually brings him back to the world, falling in love with him as he goes. The more he discovers about Silver's past the more frighened he becomes and, when the past catches up and they are kidnapped by the evil Faith they find out just how important they are to each other and how special Silver really is.

Hostage, isn't a published book although it is posted at Gay Authors online writing site and forum. It is about two boys who start out deadly enemies but, on a quest to rescue their guardians from a political enemy, they become close and then closer. This is primarily an adventure across a world that might be in our future or another reality altogether.

I hope that SOMEONE will read and comment because there is nothing I like more than discussing my characters who are all very real to me
