Three words: 

Gay.
Teen.
Romance.

I'm gay and a romantic, but... I'm no teen. I'm an editor by day and by night, a novelist (and husband and cook and pianist and moviemaker and way too many things to name here). I've had a few short stories published (a while back) and I'm working on several novels in various stages right now. I'm testing out Wattpad with a novel called Orpheus in the City. It's sort of the teen romance that I would've liked to have when I was young, although it kind of has a life of its own as well.

I'm very curious to find out what people think, so I would love for you to leave comments about it.

I'm also really looking for recommendations for good LGBT reading here!

Hey, I'm still alive and well, life has just sort of gotten in the way of writing the last months...
