Chapter 1
The tall, slender young woman had her nose in the air as she looked down to where Tumi Moketla was standing. Tumi felt a wave of frustration rising in him. He was losing the case, the witness was being uncooperative, and he was running out of options. The strategy he had prepared simply wasn’t working. He took a deep breath, his full lips quivering as they took in air, and he breathed out to release the stress that had been -

Blog postAdding heat without sex
I've always been a much bigger fan of the steamy moments between characters where they show just how much they are into each other, rather than descriptions of erotic moments without the buildup. I want to see the characters reach the point where they can't go another second apart, where the tension between them is so strong that they need to be together. That's why I love writing intimate, private, steamy moments in sweet gay m/m romances rather than erotica. I lov -

Blog postSeeing characters grow
For me, one of the first things I think about when I'm developing a new novel is: what does my character care about? What makes him tick? What are his challenges, and where does he need to grow? Once I figure these things out, the story comes pretty quickly. I need to really care about a character's journey before I can invest in writing the novel or short story. I need to be curious about the character myself, and want to see him find happiness and love in life, or -

To his disappointment, Simon was already up and about, and Ian groaned at the thought that he wouldn’t get to cuddle with his boyfriend on his last day in Cape Tow -
Blog postWhen a Character Won't Let Me Go
I love the feeling of not being able to sleep at night because a character is consuming my mind. If I am imagining all kinds of new and exciting things for a character to get up to, I know that he's worth writing about. Most of my characters have something sad, lonely or tragic about them, and that's really what grabs me. I want to make sure that the character has the happy ending that he deserves.
While I'm writing, I try to imagine what the c -

Blog postBreaking the Rules: Ridgemont Univesity Short ReadChapter 1
Connor stared out of the window of his dorm room, his face in a forlorn grimace. What had he gotten himself into?
The bed he was sitting on was hard and uncomfortable. He had already covered it in his dark blue sheet and duvet, trying to make the room feel more like home. But it wasn’t working. He felt terribly out of place. His stomach was in knots and his jaw was clenched with anxiety and frustration. This was not what he -
