About this author

Heidi Belleau was born and raised in small town NB, Canada. She now lives in the rugged oil-patch frontier of Northern BC with her husband, an Irish ex-pat whose long work hours in the trades leave her plenty of quiet time to write. She has a degree in History from Simon Fraser University with a concentration in British and Irish studies; much of her work centred on popular culture, oral folklore, and sexuality, but she was known to perplex her professors with unironic papers on the historical roots of modern romance novel tropes. (Ask her about Highlanders!) When not writing, you might catch her trying to explain British television to her newborn daughter or standing in line at the local coffee shop, waiting on her caramel macchiato.


Hello friends! How's your April going? Mine has been busy, busy, busy!

The Saturnalia Effect (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Dec 16, 2011 11:21am
Description: Troy Khoury is serving a life sentence in Westgate prison for a robbery gone wrong. He just wants to keep his head down and do his time, but he runs afoul of an old-timer named Franchetti. Franchetti offers Troy a simple choice: kill fellow inmate Daniel Amato by Christmas in exchange for protection, or be tortured and raped to death by Franchetti's heavy, Pliers. Troy's no killer, though, and Daniel is as gentle and calm as can be. But a prison is a small place, and time is running out. Troy must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice before the choice is taken from him.
Out of the Tombs, Exceedingly Fierce (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Oct 29, 2011 02:39pm
Description: Ah, Scotland, an Art History student's wet dream. Gorgeous old castles, great booze, sexy locals with even sexier accents, and even a gory ghost story or two. Maxwell Lewis is here for two reasons: to get a few great photographs, and to forget about his boring commitment-obsessed ex, in that order. Knock Castle seems to have offered him opportunities for both -- all the excitement Maxwell's ever wanted and a hot guy to enjoy it with. If only the ghosts could stay in the story...
Ulterior Motives (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Sep 18, 2011 04:05pm
Description: When Cormac's new boyfriend suggests they tell each other the stories of their "first times", he has a hunch it's not a matter of simple curiosity. Nevertheless, he plays along with his own straight faced and honest tale, but the story he hears in return reminds him that sex isn't always as simple as he thinks it should be. Note: Contains explicit sex and descriptions of sexual abuse. Cover image by winnond / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

“But now that he was here, he was happy. It wasn’t an uncomplicated kind of happy, but still. Something about the warm atmosphere, the way Cormac’s family teased him the same as they teased each other, fussed over him and brought him drinks, included him seamlessly in their conversation, just…recognized him.”
Heidi Belleau, The Druid Stone

“For Cormac, every touch was shadowed by regret and anger and desperation, although he tried not to show it. Sean was being so clear, so brave. Doing the right thing because it was the right thing because it was the right thing to do, like he always did and always would do. Cormac could learn a lot from him.”
Heidi Belleau, The Druid Stone

“I have written it before and am not ashamed to write it again. Without Wodehouse I am not sure that I would be a tenth of what I am today -- whatever that may be. In my teenage years, his writings awoke me to the possibilities of language. His rhythms, tropes, tricks and mannerisms are deep within me.
But more than that, he taught me something about good nature. It is enough to be benign, to be gentle, to be funny, to be kind.”
Stephen Fry
