I want my work to be a celebration of male intimacy without shame. A bold, unapologetic dive into homoerotica that pulses with desire, connection, and the quiet strength of men exploring their bodies and each other with honesty and joy.

Through vivid, sensory prose and realistic dialogue, I strive weave the erotic seamlessly into everyday life, crafting stories that are as rich in emotional depth as they are in steamy passion.

I invite readers into worlds where intimacy is both sanctuary and revelation, where vulnerability is courageous, and where desire is not just expressed, but celebrated as a natural, powerful force.

This erotic romance follows Mike Stands, a lonely railroad mechanic, and Dan, a young drifter down on his luck, as their lives collide in a dimly lit speakeasy. What begins as a transactional encounter Read more of this blog post »

"This is a really quick read, though I confess I ended up skimming a bit. There's a lot of sex scenes and a lot of drama: if it weren't a popular early gay story it wouldn't mean very much, I think. But it was one of the earliest novels to feature gay" Read more of this review »

“Well... you don't have to label yourself one way or another. You can try different things and figure out what works for you. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, it's probably ok." - Brent from After the Storm
Jack Cartland, After the Storm

“Well, that's ok, you don't have to label yourself one way or another. You can try different things and figure out what works for you. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, it's probably ok." After the Storm
Jack Cartland, After the Storm

“Mike shifted the arm holding Brent's wrists so his armpit was just above Brent's face. Brent inhaled deeply, taking in Mike's spicy, manly scent. The aroma ...sent a rush of desire and lust through Brent." While the Summer Lasts

“Oh Mike, keep doing it, just like that," Brent breathed, and his body shivered. Mike felt a hard, little knot form inside Brent, his finger poked it rhythmically. After the Storm
Jack Cartland, After the Storm

“If erotic writing is the objectification of sex, then reading is its subjectification.”
Mark John Isola

“Cody smiled, and his mouth went dry as Max neared the bed. Max was so close to the camera that first his groin, and then his dick, filled Cody’s screen. So tempting, so near, all right in front of his eyes, but he could not taste or touch. Cody could only moan at the sight. Max sat down on his bed so only his torso remained visible. Cody was silent, holding his breath, enjoying the beauty oozing from Max’s body. Then Max lay back and put his headphones on again. He moaned out loud, making Cody shudder in response.”
Pierce Smith, Bait

“Brent sat down on the sun-warmed dock, the old wood scratching the smooth skin of his naked butt. Mike sat down beside him and they sipped their beers in silence for a while." After the Storm
