Heart, humour and keeping it real.

I am a two times Lambda Literary Award Finalist—2020 for DIGGING DEEP and 2024 for THE ART OF HUSBANDRY.
I have also received the The Romance Writers of New Zealand 2021 Romance Book of The Year Award for OFF BALANCE.
I am a New Zealand author writing mm romance and romantic suspense primarily set in my home country. I write character driven romances with lots of humour, a good dose of reality, and a splash of angst. I’ve travelled extensively, lived in many countries, and in a past life I worked as a critical care nurse and a counsellor. My family love and somehow put up with me, and my gorgeous Cocker Spaniel thinks I spend too much time at my desk but keeps my feet warm.

Review: In Step – Jay Hogan

Kane Martin never thought he deserved love—until Abe Tyler saw past his mistakes. In Step is a tender, mature romance about second chances and finding where you belong.

Review: On Board – Jay Hogan

This book was about learning, healing, and finding happiness, and it delivered that beautifully. Leroy’s journey of self-discovery and his love for Fox made my heart swell.
