Tempeste O’Riley is an out and proud pansexual (t)man whose best friend growing up had the courage to do what he couldn’t–defy the hate and come out. He has been his hero ever since.

Though new to writing M/M, his has done many things in his life, though writing has always drawn him back–no matter what else life has thrown her way. She counts her friends, family, and Muse as his greatest blessings in life. He lives in Wisconsin with his children, reading, writing, and enjoying life.

Quotes by Tempeste O'Riley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Mi dispiace, Signore. Non era mia intenzione litigare con Riley.”
“Ragazzo,” proseguì Deacon, la sua voce più dolce mentre gli circondava il collo con una mano usando il pollice per sollevargli la testa, “ho sentito quello che hai detto e cosa ha detto lui. Non hai fatto niente di sbagliato e… hai ragione. Tu sei desiderato e amato. Non permettere che gente come lui cerchi di determinare quanto vali e dirti cosa puoi fare. Tu sei il mio ragazzo. Punto”
Tempeste O'Riley, Caged Sanctuary

“Un giorno imparerai a vederti per quello che sei veramente, non solo per quello che ti porti in giro. Non vale la pena che sprechi il tuo tempo con tutti quei tizi che non riescono a vedere oltre le tue ruote.”
Tempeste O'Riley, Caged Sanctuary

“Si sentiva al sicuro e desiderato, un sentimento che non pensava avrebbe più sperimentato. Il suo ultimo pensiero prima di addormentarsi fu speranza. Speranza di costruire qualcosa di vero insieme a Deacon, sia dentro che fuori la stanza dei giochi.”
Tempeste O'Riley, Caged Sanctuary
