His debut novel, His, Theirs, Enough, explores polyamory, queer devotion, submission, and emotional ruin through the lens of literary erotica.

The Demon, Consumes

fills, explores, is within, takes control

It doesn’t arrive with fire.
It seeps in.

Through the crack in the window.
Through the throb in your chest.
Through the hole you begged for with your mouth open and your hands behind your back.

The demon doesn’t knock.
It already lives inside you.
You just hadn’t been opened enough to feel it yet.

Possession Was Always Erotic

You call it haunting, but it feels like

Rowan Thornwell answered Goodreads's question: What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?
