Welcome! I’m a gay male author who writes MM romance filled with humor, heart, and hot guys. My characters fall into bed and fall in love, usually in that order. Think LOL meets DTF.

I live in central Indiana, surrounded by churches and Olive Gardens, with my husband, kids, and cats. When I’m not writing, I’m chasing around a toddler or sneaking off to a movie.

Hi Jaime,

Thanks for reading! The next book is a companion novel and will focus on another character. I felt like Greg and Ethan's story ended in a good place in OUT IN THE OPEN, but they will cameo in Book 2, so you haven't seen the last of them!

Best,
A.J.(less)

Thanks for reaching out. I'm currently working on a collection of short stories (including a prequel for one familiar character) that I'm aiming to release this summer. I apologize for such a long wait. It sucks, and I'm totally embarrassed -- especially because I had said my next book was coming out in March. Long story short (and eventually, the long story will wind up on my blog), my original book #2 was much harder to write. I tried experimenting with dual POV, which I found more challenging than I expected. I had to put it aside for a while. And I put unnecessary pressure on myself to get it out fast, never a good thing to do when writing.

I hate that there'll be lag time between books 1 and 2, and I hate that I feel like I've let readers like you down. But there will be more Browerton University books. There are more stories to tell. That I promise you. Thank you for reading and caring about these characters as much as I do.

Sincerely,
AJ(less)

(Re) Cover Reveal: Hot Mall Santa

My Christmas novella Hot Mall Santa has a fresh new look. And for the first time, the book is available in paperback!

Hot Mall Santa is sweet like a Hallmark Christmas movie…but with added spice. I reread it before the relaunch, and I fell in love with Tom and Randall and the Oakville Mall all over again.

Catherine Hi! Thanks for the friend invite & the rec. His Roommate's Pleasure was HOT, right? Pretty devastating that she hasn't written anything else since. :(
