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—watching, listening, 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. A gaslamp city that runs on human souls. A serial-killer mystery in a small town that asks who, then asks why. A thriller about power and the poison it breeds. A romance that just wants to make you ache and then make it right. They look like different books, and they are—but underneath, they're the same story told in different keys: love that holds when everything around it shifts, the families we build when the ones we're given don't fit, and 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.
The clock stopped. The cathedral fell. The lie still stands.
For sixty years, Hollowmere kept perfect time on the backs of its dead — and called it faith. Callum Vane dragged that secret into the light and paid for it with the very gift that let him hear the bound at all. Now the whole city knows what it is.
An empire ran on perfect time. Perfect time ran on something worse.
For sixty years, the great clock of Hollowmere kept perfect time. Trains ran, harbors opened, an empire set its calendar by the city’s bells, and no one asked what the bargain cost.
Six weeks ago, the clock stopped.
Now Hollowmere is dark and cold for the first time in living...
The lights of Hollowmere never go out. The great clocktower never stops ticking. But what powers the perfect city is far more sinister than anyone dares to admit.
In the steampunk metropolis of Hollowmere, progress demands sacrifice. The poor are offered a deal: sign their names, surrender their bodies to the Sovereign’s Cradle, and be “...
Some families build legacies. The Rourkes build traps.
Caleb Rourke is good at two things: breaking into systems and walking away clean. He's managed both for ten years — until his aunt summons him back to Washington for a job that was never what it looked like, and he...
