Erastes

Do you like gay historical fiction?  Do you love the idea of men loving men in times when wearing lace and brocade wasn’t just for ballroom dancers and that men walking arm in arm together wasn’t at all unusual?  Do you want to read about English men who are almost too repressed to tell each other how they feel and have to do it very privately anyway?

Well you are in the right place!

My latest published book is  JUNCTION X published by CHEYENNE BOOKS. Based on a tragic true story, it is the tale of Edward, a closeted, married, middle-aged stockbroker who, in 1960′s England, falls passionately in love for the first time, with the 17 year old son of his next-door-neighbour.
