Charles Z Doilain is a tech professional by day and writer by night (or all the time, in the head). He has a degree in engineering and a minor in philosophy. After traveling around the world, a few years in the American Midwest and stints as a systems analyst, freelance writer, and chocolate connoisseur, he decided to set down roots in the country of his birth and write the stories that have been sitting in his head for years.

In his spare time, he reads all manner of books and graphic novels, writes some more, and does household chores.

Currently, I'm working on short stories that deal with a specific topic. I've already finished and released two short stories that pertain to it (A Positive Outlook and My Son, The Stranger). I plan to release the first two books of a new trilogy simultaneously, perhaps, before the year ends(less)

I was so surprised, because in the last time we had seen each other, I knew him to live in a different city and he knew me to live in another country.

That gave me the idea to write The Gay Seasons. Essentially, the idea was this:

What if the one who got away returned to your life in the exact moment when you're having doubts about the relationship you're in? Will you explore a relationship with the one who got away or will you stick it out with the one you're with?

From that, I recreated a back story for the character who would face that question in Book 2 of The Gay Seasons and I imagined his choices and how the book will end.(less)
