Three words: 

Gay. 
Teen. 
Romance. 

I'm gay and a romantic, but... I'm no teen. I'm an editor by day and by night, a novelist (and husband and cook and pianist and moviemaker and way too many things to name here). I've had a few short stories published (a while back) and I'm working on several novels in various stages right now. I'm testing out Wattpad with a novel called Orpheus in the City. It's sort of the teen romance that I would've liked to have when I was young, although it kind of has a life of its own as well.

I'm very curious to find out what people think, so I would love for you to leave comments about it.

I'm also really looking for recommendations for good LGBT reading here!
