My next book, Grace & Favour, releases on Sunday, and is a friends-to-lovers gay romance:

“Leo Sweetwater keeps three closely-guarded secrets: his affections lie with men, he's in love with his best friend, and he's been haunted since childhood by the ghosts of Hampton Court Palace. When an ill-advised fling threatens all three secrets, Leo must contend with malign forces, and not just those from beyond the veil…“

Might be on preorder at your favourite retailer, definitely will be available on #KoboPlus, #Everand and #Hoopla, and you can always ask for it at your library.

#QueerRomanceClub @queerromanceclub

I’m looking for suggestions for the March vote of the QRC. The theme is historicals. I have a few on my list, but some are probably more historical than, ah, romantical 😊 and obviously a central queer (in any shape or form) relationship is required.

Indies/lesser known authors encouraged but the books need to be widely available (no Amazon-only books, library accessible).

I am reading #Joan_Aiken’s #historicals and concluding they are the antidote for “don’t you wish you could live in the Olden Times when everything was romantic?”
