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…“

#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).

Forever Alexander – Hellenistic UAB

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?”
