I think I've written and changed my bio on here a hundred times in the last decade. See, that's why I don't have tattoos!

I've been a GR for over ten years and I still use it daily to keep up with my reading and to learn about books, old and new ones, but more importantly, because as I grow older and hopefully wiser, I realize that readers are my favorite type of people.

An Irresistible Mess

Another year. Another book. :-)

Coming soon on October 11th.

This one explores themes of self-destruction and redemption, but though the themes may seem dark, there's a lot of humor and color in the story.

Jett was a great man to write and though you will want to smack him upside his head, you'll probably fall for him as Kaiden does...

Because he is one (hot) irresistible mess!

“O'Reilly, I've been running from the worst of myself all my life, and now it looks like the best of me just caught up.”
Mel Bossa, Split

“O'Reilly, happiness does eventually come, it just needs a lot of foreplay, that's all."

And what better lover could happiness find?”
Mel Bossa, Split

“I've been thinking about you and all my fucking sauces have been splitting. O'Reilly, everything you don't say speaks to something gentle in me. Something I thought I'd choked.”
Mel Bossa, Split

“Go without hate, but not without rage. Heal the world.”
Paul Monette

James Baldwin

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
Dante Alighieri
