He believes that romance can be hot, funny, and sweet in equal measure.

The name Xavier Mayne is a tribute to the pioneering gay author Edward Prime-Stevenson, who also used it as a pen name. He wrote the first openly gay novel by an American, 1906’s Imre: A Memorandum, which depicts two masculine men f

There are three Brandt & Donnelly novels out so far, and I have two more already written and working their way through Dreamspinner's editorial process. After that, I have three more planned--their lives take some interesting turns in the coming books, I can promise you that!

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy the series.

I still have three more B&D Capers to write, but I need a little time away so I can come back fresh!(less)

Excerpt: Q*Pid

“VEERA, THE floor is yours.” Edwin, the manager of her team, smiled encouragingly across the table.


The smile was mostly for show, she knew, because he’d made perfectly clear he had precious little confidence in her idea. However, despite his reservations—which he’d enumerated several times for her over coffee during the course of the previous week—his team had a quota of developer pitches to make

“Let me understand,' Omar said, his brow furrowed in concentration. 'When played with cars, people could get killed. But when played with kissing, people could get...kissed.' He mused on this for a second. 'It seems like the better option.'

'You'd think,' replied Kaitlyn. 'But if you were to survey one hundred high school boys, ninety-eight of them would tell you they'd rather die in a fiery crash than be caught kissing another guy.'

'What about the other two?'

'Statistically, they're already kissing each other”
Xavier Mayne, Husband Material

“Your panties need to say, ‘Tear me off, for I contain wonders!’ Those say, ‘Look away while I complete your tax forms.’ I’ll be back in a jiff with the right ones.”
Xavier Mayne, Frat House Troopers

“A penis is a penis, but a hard-on is more like a message you send to other people. It’s a desire, not a body part.”
Brandt swiveled his chair around to face Donnelly, “‘It’s a desire, not a body part’? What kind of fucked-up angry feminist book did you get that out of?”
--Donnelly & Brandt”
Xavier Mayne, Frat House Troopers
