Born in California, grew up in Ireland, moved to the Bay Area in 1988.

I'm the author of 9 LGBT-themed novels, including "Time of Grace" and "Elsie Street." Two recent books are set in England in the 13th century. "A Knight's Tale: Kenilworth" explores the events of the Second Barons' War through the eyes of a squire, Will, living in Simon de Montfort's household. Book 2 was published in March 2018. My most recent book is "Once You Are Mine," an M/M love story set in Northern California during the first year of the pandemic.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: My latest release in the Knight's Tale trilogy, THE KNIGHT'S RETURN, was released on May 12... but if you pre-ordered it, you will NOT automatically receive a copy, as the pre-order was unfortunately can

You can find it now on Amazon and Google Play; out May 20 on Apple, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. If you were kind enough to pre-order it, though, I'm afraid the pre-order was canceled and so you will have to purchase a fresh copy. Just wanted to get the word out. Thanks so much!

In the Weeds: A Review of Kamala Harris’s 107 Days

107 Days, Kamala Harris, Simon & Schuster, October 2025, $14.99 on Kindle

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is doing the rounds of her book tour right now. This book came out remarkably fast, given that she lost the election to Donald Trump less than a year ago, as we all know. The publishing world isn’t geared to moving fast unless they know they have a financial winner on their hands, which the

Quotes by Gabriella West  (?)

“He wanted Marc in his life so badly. But wanting felt dangerous, and somehow like tempting fate.”
Gabriella West, Return to Carlsbad

“Only connect!”
E.M. Forster, Howards End

“Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea.

Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más; caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar.”
Antonio Machado, Campos de Castilla

“Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.”
Iris Murdoch, Existentialists and Mystics: Writings on Philosophy and Literature

“Time can divorce us from the reality of people, it can separate us from people and turn them into ghosts. Or rather it is we who turn them into ghosts or demons. Some kinds of fruitless preoccupations with the past can create such simulacra, and they can exercise power, like those heroes at Troy fighting for a phantom Helen.”
Iris Murdoch

“It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes makes its way to the surface.”
Virginia Woolf
