I don't hang out on Goodreads much, so if you'd like to connect with me then Twitter, Facebook or an email is usually best :) All my contact details are on my website.

Jay writes contemporary romance about men who fall in love with other men. Jay has five books published by Dreamspinner Press, and he also self-publishes under the imprint Jaybird Press. Many of his books ...more

Jay Northcote and 9 other people liked Cadiva's review of Better Place (Rainbow Place, #3): "Just like with his Housemates series, Jay uses a loose theme - in this case the Rainbow Place cafe itself - to hang his stories on. And, like that series, each of the three books released in this one has been utterly different in the couple it feat..." Read more of this review »

This is book three in the Rainbow Place series. They don't have to be read in order and it can be read as a standalone.

The idea for this one came to me a year or so ago and I'm happy that it finally came to fruition. I enjoyed writing another book with a trans main character. I hope you'll like it if you decide to give it a try :)
