He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague, with a few long stretches in New Orleans and Vienna. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for nearly a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.

Damon's first novel was published by Dreamspinner Press in June 2011. Though new to M/M, he is an award-winning author who has been writing for print, stage, and scree

Damon Suede RiN a.k.a ♥ Thwisted Dhelyght ♥ wrote: "will you be able to sign my copy of Hot Head while you are there?..." I'm not firm on the release date yet, but I'm literally i the home stretch.

And of COURSE I'll sign it in New Orleans! I'd be honored to. :)


RiN a.k.a ♥ Thwisted Dhelyght ♥ Damon wrote: "Thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm literally finishing the sequel Hard Head (which is Tommy's story) right now. More definitely on the way... :)"

OH WoW ... your response so made my night!

As for my kind words they were well deserved and you are very welcomed. Is it lame to say that I cried during certain scenes in your book? If people think so, I don't care because that just proves how awesome a writer you are and how attached I became with your characters. So knowing there is more coming makes me tickled pink all over (channeling my inner Griff).

Anywho, I am getting wordy (I tend to ramble on when I'm nervous or obsessing over something fantabulous)so to wrap this up I have one question for you ... do you have an idea for the release date of Hard Head? Waiting for books that I'm dying to read always makes me batshit crazy.

Like I mentioned looking forward to seeing you in New Orleans in August. Okay I lied I have a second question ... will you be able to sign my copy of Hot Head while you are there?

L.C. Congrats on scoring third overall in the GR Readers awards, Damon! You done good, my friend! :-D
*big hugs*


Fangtasia Damon, did you see Hot Head came in at third place in the 2011 Goodreads Readers Choice Awards, Romance category?

Ahead of Julia Quinn, Nora Roberts, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter...

And the book that won 2nd place is apparently a Twilight fanfic with characters replaced.

So, for all intents and purposes, your debut book came in 2nd. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

WOOHOO!!! *doing Snoopy happy dance for the next couple hours*


Moderatrix Lori Good luck in the final round of voting Damon!

amydawn74 Thanks for accepting my friend request. Since it was my first M/M full-length book, it's one I'll never forget! Of course, that's besides the fact that it's awesome! :)

(Wasn't sure if I posted this on your comment to me if you'd see it.)


Fangtasia Thanks for the friendvite, Damon. Saw in the M/M Romance BOM thread that you are already working on Tommy's story. Will read that one and anything else you write as soon as it's released.

Original voices are so rare, they need to be encouraged.
