About
I grew up in the English Midlands and now write from Oregon, which means I’ve spent most of my life as the person slightly outside the frame, noticing the things people don’t say out loud. That vantage point ended up being the whole point of my fiction.
I write queer stories across genres. The Hollow Clock Saga is set in a gaslamp city that runs on human souls. The Lexingfield Murders is a small-town serial-killer mystery that asks who, then asks why. The Rourke Correlation is a political thriller about power and the poison it breeds. On the romance side, the Windward Cup Dynasty follows a broke Texas ranch hand into the old-money world of polo, and the Bear Hunt stories belong to two grown men in the Cascades, written to make you ache and then make it right.
They look like different books, and they are. Underneath, though, they’re the same story told in different keys: love that holds when everything around it shifts, and the families we build when the ones we’re given don’t fit. Mostly, they’re about the strange relief of finally being seen by someone.
I publish under a pen name. It lets the work stand on its own, which is where I’d rather the attention go.
Every series I write ends the same way it promises to: two men, against the odds, earning their happy ever after.
The world changes. The love doesn’t. Thanks for being here.

Still Water
This is an intense thrilling story that invokes all sorts of emotions in you, in a town where people are loosing their children to a river, not one family but different families in the town. The sheriff himself finds himself in a situation where he’s not just investigating what happened to other kids, he’s in a position trying to find out what happened to his daughter too, things don’t add up and suspicions go over the roof.
This is one of those stories that has your curiosity at its peak. I was really eager to know what exact was going on. I found it absolutely enjoyable, I couldn’t keep the book down just because I really wanted to uncover what was happening.
The pace was amazing, it wasn’t a story that was rushed at all. There were many characters mentioned but the author took time to explain everyone’s story which gave a sense of familiarity before we got to now find out more about the situation that was taking place.
This book was absolutely enjoyable and I absolutely loved reading it.

The Hollow Clock
A haunting and brilliantly constructed steampunk narrative. The Hollow Clock delivers a gripping exploration of power, sacrifice, and morality, wrapped in rich world-building and an unsettling premise that lingers long after the final page. Our readers were especially struck by the originality of the “energy system” and the emotional weight behind it.

Still Water
What stood out most for me was the emotional weight. This isn’t just a crime story it’s about loss, understanding, and the unsettling feeling of being truly seen. The dynamic between Jack and Grace James is especially well done, subtle but powerful.
If you enjoy slow-burn psychological thrillers with strong characters and a lingering sense of unease, this is definitely worth the read.
Some deals you live by. Some men you let go. One morning changes everything.
At fifteen, Mason Caldwell learned exactly what he was worth: one packed duffel bag and a door held open. Six months of empty streets later, an old rancher catches him stealing food, buys the groceries, feeds him supper, and offers the only deal he ever makes.
He was paid to break Julian Rosemont’s heart. He wasn’t supposed to want to keep it.
Mason Caldwell has ninety days before the bank takes the only home he’s ever had. So when a stranger in a suit worth more than Mason’s truck offers him a fortune to play a sport he’s never touched, for a team he’s never heard of, Mason doesn’t ask questions.
He gave up a fortune for a man the world says he can’t have. Now the world is watching to see if it was worth it.
Mason Reyes never had money. What he had was Julian Rosemont, the polo dynasty heir who walked away from millions to build a life with him, one falling-down rental house and one borrowed truck at a time.
Welcome to the world of elite polo, where a handful of families have owned the sport, the trophies, and each other's secrets for five generations, and where the men and women who actually make it run are never supposed to matter, want...
