About meI write fantasy stories on friendship, gay historical fantasy tales, and contemporary gay fiction. Occasionally, a heterosexual love story will appear as well. Suspense plays an important role in many of the tales; the conflict in those tales is both external and internal. My stories are often placed in dark settings, such as prisons or wartime locations. The mood of the stories, however, is not one of unrelieved gloominess. Romance and friendship, especially male friendship, are recurring themes.

About my libraryParental guidance is recommended for minors browsing this library, as some of the books I own have mature content.

My favorite novels tend to fall into the same genres I write in: fantasy, historical fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction, military fiction, spy fiction, friendship fiction, and various forms of male/male fiction: gay fiction (including romance fiction, leather fiction, and erotic fiction), original gen and original slash fiction (yes, I occasionally read fan fiction too), and yaoi fiction.

As far as nonfiction is concerned, I most often read Victorian and Edwardian memoirs (that's research material for me) and writings on simplicity (monasticism, etc.).
