At the age of sixteen, August Goodson developed a strange and mysterious power overnight: he can find people. Victims of murder, suicide, kidnapping, accidents, and rape; August can find them all, usually dead, but sometimes still alive. Nine years later finds August volunteering his services to the police. He's still smarting from the loss of his long-time love Dante, who cheated on him with his best friend, and harbors a deep crush on the incredibly handsome, and oh-so-straight, Detective Luke Williams. But there are bigger concerns on August's mind: a serial killer is loose in the city, one whose victims are a little too much like him for comfort. When August finds a living victim who may be one of the serial killer's, he's drawn even deeper into the case. Will he make it out alive, or will he soon be the one in need of finding?
Born and raised in the Midwest. Currently reside in the San Diego area. I produce gay romantic fiction within the genres of fantasy, sci fi, and supernatural. In my universe, there are no “coming out” stories. The intent is to create fun, action-filled, dramatic romance stories for those readers who’ve been longing to see such stories with two male leads.
August originally had long brown dreadlocks. In my youth, I crushed on a young man from afar (I never met or spoke to him) who had that hairstyle, and that's where my original visual concept of August took hold. However, many years later, as I neared completion of The Finder, I realized I was going to have a hard time finding the right image for the cover. A photographer friend even put a call out (twice) for white male models with dreadlocks and got no responses! Eventually, I decided that I would have to change August's hairstyle. It wasn't easy to give up my original concept, but by time the book was finished, the new visual concept felt like a better fit. Now it's difficult to imagine him any other way.
Book Excerpt
The Finder
My eyes are my best feature, an unusual kind of hazel: brown around the pupils, surrounded by a ring of green. The rest of me is so-so. I’ve got a decent face, but I’m too skinny. My hair is dark brown. I dye it a different color every few weeks, mostly because I get bored. At the moment it was a dark green that looked sort of black. I wear a delicate gold nose ring in my left nostril. For some reason, guys go wild for it.
