About Me

I don’t really know everything. I just try to keep my mouth shut about what I don’t know. This is a totally random blog. If you want to see me focused, please (buy and) read my fiction.

This is a dog- and photo-intense journal. Also: I love trees, my friends, and long walks on the beach. Okay, maybe not long walks on the beach. More like sitting on a shady deck looking over the beach with an iced coffee and a computer in front of me. I don’t apologize for enjoying all the Twilight stuff–I see it as a fascinating cultural conundrum when people who don’t read the books or see the movies denounce them with such intensity.

About my work: I write fiction. My Timothy James Beck writing partners and I wrote IT HAD TO BE YOU, HE’S THE ONE, I’M YOUR MAN, SOMEONE LIKE YOU, and WHEN YOU DON’T SEE ME (all from Kensington).

My writing partner Timothy J. Lambert and I wrote THE DEAL, published by Alyson in 2004, and THREE FORTUNES IN ONE COOKIE (under the name Cochrane Lambert, from Alyson, 2005).

Timothy and I also edited a collection of romantic stories from some brilliant veteran and new writers, FOOL FOR LOVE: NEW GAY FICTION. The anthology came out in February 2009 just in time for Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or straight, these stories are for every reader. A second anthology, FOOLISH HEARTS: NEW GAY FICTION will be released by Cleis Press in 2013.

My novel A COVENTRY CHRISTMAS, a contemporary romance, was released in October 2006. My second solo effort, A COVENTRY WEDDING, was released in January 2009. Both books are from Zebra.

About my life: I live on The Compound with my mellow husband and two quirky dogs–Margot and Guinness–who run the place. Also located on The Compound is the residence of Timothy J. Lambert and his dogs Rexford G. Lambert and Pixie P. Lambert, as well as the occasional foster dog from Scout’s Honor Rescue. Recently we upgraded Penny D. Lambert to permanent residency as Compound Rescue Dog Mascot.
