About Me
The author of two published self help books, I'm looking for representation for my literary novel, EXIT, PURSUED BY BEAR.
"At a third rate theatre school outside London, a sexual act between two men who neither like nor respect the other is the spark that sets in motion a conflagration of lies and deceit, an illicit, consuming affair that threatens everything each believes vital to their existence."
Having done my homework regarding the most appropriate agents to target (including reading authors on their roster, or tracking down the agent of similar novels) I'm in the process of writing query letters and a synopsis. I'm looking for writers, particularly those who write literary fiction and/or gay fiction, with whom to connect, who might be willing to help critique my submission materials. I want to offer whatever help I can to my fellow writers. I like being a part of a community such as this one.
I invite you to visit my author's page on Red Room. I welcome comments on my blog:

My published self help books "The Community Building Companion" and "How to Stop Backing Down and Start Talking Back" can both be found online at Amazon or Borders and also the publishers site:

I Am Looking For

Come to think of it, Jean, that line would make a wonderful t shirt slogan for a writer!

This is one of the great things I hear a lot from other writers. I've said this myself. I feel gleeful about it whenever it happens. Two years ago more...

Well, there is just NO way I'm going to complain about not having enough time to write - I don't have kids, sick or otherwise. I don't have to cook for anybody and I sure as hell don't cook for me! For dinner more...

I've procrastinated today too. I could've spent the last hour and a half writing and instead, for some almost completely unexplainable reason, I've been trying to learn Welsh online. I've never been to Wales, more...
