Occupation	Fiction writer
Location	Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Introduction	I am a writer of fiction in mystery, suspense/thriller, speculative and romance genres whose main characters are gay. While this doesn't define or limit my characters, it does provide excellent opportunities for exciting plots with a twist. Many diverse writers have influenced my style of writing over the years; among them David Baldacci, John Grisham and Michael Crichton to groundbreaking novelists Patricia Nell Warren, Michael Nava and Felice Picano. Other more current gay mystery writers who influence my writing are Greg Herren, David Lennon and John Morgan Wilson. My novella, Switch Hitter (co-written with Alex Morgan) was released by Wilde City Press Sept 2013. My debut novel, Pretty Boy Dead, the first mystery in a series set in Atlanta featuring closeted Homicide Detective, Sgt. Kendall Parker, is out now from Wilde City Press. I am also working on the sequel to False Evidence, titled Murder Most Deadly. In the works is also a speculative gay romance novella, Prince of the Sea, slated for 2014. A southern Georgia native, I live in Atlanta with my life-long partner of 29 years and four monstrous terriers!
