The blurb for collected novels says the "dark horse" was your first foray in m/m fiction. Have you written in other genres, and was the writing under a different name? Also, I am reading "so this is Christmas" which is listed as Adrien English #7, yet I can't find a #6.... am I crazy, or dense?

I differentiate between gay romance and m/m fiction, so I guess the answer to that depends on who you ask. I consider Fatal Shadows, A Dangerous Thing, Murder in Pastel and The Hell You Say all gay romance (well, really gay mystery more so than romance). THEN I wrote The Dark Horse, which I consider to be more male/male fiction (the story is mostly about the romance despite the mystery trappings).
So The Dark Horse was written well into my writing career, but it was the first thing I wrote after learning there was such a thing, an actual sub-genre, called M/M Romance.
As for other writings, yes. I began my publishing career with poetry when I was 16. :-) I wrote a Harlequin romance after college. In 2002 I sold a mystery series to Pocket and then in 2008 another series to Penguin.
As far as the AE series, the books are:
Fatal Shadows
A Dangerous Thing
The Hell You Say
Death of a Pirate King
The Dark Tide
Stranger Things Have Happened (A Write Your Own Damn Story)
So This is Christmas
Most people forget to count the CYOA (WYODS) book. ;-)

First the question. Is the fifth book of the Holmes and Moriarity series going to be the last? Now the request. Please say no! I've read almost all of your books (even though they're a little hard to find here in Brazil) and this particular series had become my all time favorite. The characters, the mysteris, everything is simply perfect. I'd love to have them for many many more books. At least two... or five haha
