Measuring Up
Mike is tired of the dinner party carousel. They seem to be nothing more than an endless merry-go-round of idle chitchat, new world wines, and experimental cooking. But his newest work colleague has a different idea of the perfect evening.

But not in that order.
Marc started writing as hobby just after leaving university in 1998, and in 2005 his first short story was published by the illustrated erotic story website Ruthie’s Club. The illustration for “Scratched” by Gloklund was pretty cool (you can find it, and the other Ruthie’s Club Illustrations of his stories on his website). In all Marc had 13 stories published and illustrated by Ruthie’s Club.
Marc’s first novel, Charlotte’s Secret, was published by Phaze in 2008. Eternally & Evermore, his fourth Phaze novel, was published in 2010. In 2011, Marc launched Parkland Publishing and released the first book in the Tutelam Venit series in 2011.
Originally from Wolverhampton in The Black County, Marc now lives in the Northamptonshire countryside just a stone’s throw from where Princess Diana is buried and the Gunpowder Plot was plotted. It’s far cry from his inner-city roots, but that’s what an education does for you. He studied at the University of Aberystwyth and the University of Swansea.
When he’s not writing, blogging, counting other people’s money or being a loving husband and father, Marc enjoys the peace and quiet of his garden, where he grows all manner of quite magnificent fruit and vegetables.
Marc Nobbs is one of the new breed of male authors of Erotic Romance. And as a proud and passionate Brit, Marc’s novels and short stories all have that unique British flavour at their core.
Marc’s erotic romance novels have heart, soul, passion and intelligence. Captivating plots, fascinating, complex characters and steamy, graphic sex scenes all combine to give the reader and experience they will remember for a long time.
Marc pays no attention to the ‘rules’ of Romantic fiction. He offers something different. A refreshing change from the norm. His characters are ‘real’. Strong independent women and hard-working, honest, noble men. And his plots have intelligence and passion in spades. Gritty, down to earth slices of British life mixed with that element of sexual fantasy and escapism that we all love.
Prepare to cry, to laugh and to be swept along on a torrent of emotion that you’d never would never have expected from this happily married father of two–all interlaced with steamy love scenes that will set your insides on fire.
Experience the highs and the lows of his captivating plots as his novels take you on winding journey towards the most breathtaking climaxes – in every sense of the word.
