Writer of prestige drama, thrillers, and emotionally charged stories about buried truths, identity, and the cost of silence.
I don’t write “gay stories.”
I write thrillers where power seduces, love destroys, and fate never blinks.
Some of my leads are queer. The stakes get higher.
I’m not chasing trends. I’m defining them.
