What would people be most surprised to know about you?
This is a little hard to answer because I’m really open. I had to take a poll of some friends on this one. I was at a loss on it. Lol My PA said that the fact that I’m still shocked anyone actually loves my writing is surprising. I really kinda write to whatever I want to write without thought for what category it will slot into or what have you. I once got criticized that my writing had too many tropes in one book and my whole response what “And?” Life is full of everything. It’s the main reason why the Dragon War Chronicles has everything in it as far as gender and sexuality. Love doesn’t see any of that. I didn’t see the need to restrict myself to just one way. Life is all ways. That was probably way off topic, but there you have it. lol
How do you relax?
I read. I read before I go to sleep every night till I pass out.
Do you have a favorite quote (either from your own books or one’s you’ve read)?
There’s a lot of lines that have stuck over the years but there’s really one thing and it’s not really a quote that runs through my head all the time and it’s “Always Keep Fighting” Jared Padeleki started the “Always Keep Fighting” campaign to fight depression and while I fortunately don’t have depression it’s something that struck accord with me especially at the time that it was created. I wore a bracelet that said it for years even though the writing on it had faded to nothing until I gave it away to someone who needed it more than I did. “Stagnation is Death” is also something that keeps me going. I can’t remember where I first saw it, might have been Dune. I’m not sure.
What’s your favorite part of writing?
Besides the actual writing part which at times frustrates me, I really love character creation and world building. I like figuring out who people are where they came from what they’re going to do. And then there’s the plotting. The plotting is my second favorite part.
Why did you choose to write GLBTQ romance/fiction?
I grew up with close ties to the gay community in my home town. I am non-binary. It was only natural for me to write what I’ve seen and known all my life.
Describe a scene in your writing that has made you laugh or cry?
I’ve laughed and cried through all of my books. I don’t think I can’t not put something humorous in them. I’m also very fond of dick and butt jokes. This shows in my writing. There’s a scene in SYN Consulting where Xander in his bear form farts in the face of Danica in her dragon form and every time I read that part I laugh. I also apparently have a thing for bathroom scenes and there are some really hot ones and some really funny ones.

What he finds out stays his hand and turns everything around on its heel.
What genre does it fall in?
MM contemporary romance with a butt load of kink.
Will we be seeing these characters again any time soon? Is this book part of a series?
Each book in the series will focus on a different set of main characters but as they all belong to T.A.G. you will see them come in and out of the stories.
Which actor would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book?
Sung Kang when he was younger. He’s perfect for Yoshi. 😊
What genre/s do you enjoy reading in your free time?
I read pretty much any genre of MM. My favorite tropes are May/December and any kind of police procedural or mystery with law enforcement/PIs/exmilitary anything along those lines.
What was the last book you read? What did you like about it?
Dragon in the Wings: The Omega’s Forbidden Child by Chris Savage. This is the first book in the series. I really liked the concept of the book. It takes you a minute to figure out how the world is and that aliens took over and it’s probably an alien planet to begin with as it’s a strictly fantasy world. But once you figure that out things start to fall into place. I liked the originality of it. I’m always looking for originality like that and this was different and really interesting.
Have you held any interesting jobs while you worked on your books?
I still work full time and write. I’m a software tester. It’s pretty boring for me but I’m sure it’s interesting to someone.
What hobbies do you have outside of writing?
I read. I really don’t do anything besides work, write, and read. Lol I occasionally spend an afternoon playing video games.
Shortly, after the cock cage incident, Dad sat me down to have The Talk. I knew by then that I liked dick. At first, I thought maybe it was because I was around men all the time and hardly ever any women, but one day I pulled up cameras from the women’s locker room just to see. Yeah, even the more masculine looking females did nothing for me. I got off my dad’s laptop quickly before he caught me and went back to my room to look at the gay porn I had smuggled from the sex shop. So, my dad sits me down and I’m worried. Even as isolated as we were on the compound, I had access to the outside world. I knew how homosexuality was viewed. Yes, there were changes being made and it was more accepted now, but I still worried.
I was sitting at the kitchen table when Dad came in with a dildo in one hand and a weird looking toy in the other one. It looked scary from afar. He put them down on the table along with a condom and a bottle of lube before he sat down. I was already blushing and ready to make a dash back to my room, but he pinned me with that look he got when he was dead serious and started his explanation. He showed me how to put a condom on, which I rolled my eyes at because duh. That was proceeded with a long talk on all STDs, how you can catch them in non-sexual ways, symptoms, and pictures. He pulled up pictures on his laptop. I was mortified, but damn if I was going to make sure I used condoms no matter what.
He then picked up the item that I had been avoiding looking at. It was multicolored and just weird looking. It turned out to be a big silicon asshole more or less. It was weird. Later, I found out why it looked so weird, but that’s just not something I want to think about. Although, I did end up buying a few dildos from the fantasy dildo company it was from when I got older. But back to my horrifying sex talk with my dad. He opened the lube and briefly went over the best kinds of lube to use and when. At this point, it hadn’t occurred to me how my dad knew all this stuff. He was my dad. He knew everything as far as I was concerned. He then showed me how, if I were to have sex with another man, how to prepare them or myself for it using the silicon asshole of course. He explained things like the prostate and other key erogenous zones of the male genitalia. By the end, I knew I was scarlet and dying of embarrassment. If my dad was embarrassed in anyway, he didn’t show it. He was very clinical about it. He used his instructor voice and could have been going over the parts of a P-90, he was so unphased.
He never once said anything about women. The next day, I went to his office and asked him, “How did you know?”
He quirked an eyebrow at me and said, “Yoshi, do you really think Mr. Th (that was his assistant) got you stuff from the adult store in town without my permission?”
I turned beet red and stuttered, “No, sir.” I thought I was in huge trouble and kept my eyes on my feet.
My dad pulled me into his arms and hugged me tight, surprising me. “I’m not mad. I’m glad that you went to him rather than try to sneak off on your own or do something irresponsible. I figured you weren’t ready to talk to me about those kinds of things and that’s okay. Just know that I’m always here if you need me and I’ll never judge you.” I nodded and hugged him tight, not realizing that I had started crying. I hadn’t really thought how much I was worried about it until I felt the relief his words brought me.
“I love you, Dad.” The words came out more of a whisper than I intended.
He pushed me to arm’s length, so he could see me and wiped my eyes. “I love you too, Son. Now, go out to the range. You have a test tomorrow.” I nodded and headed to the door. I had my hand on the knob when he spoke again. “Just so you know, I’m gay too.”
I turned my head in shock. The surprise evident on my face, my eyes wide. He furrowed his brows at me. “What? Did you not think I had a love life, too?”
I tried to pick my jaw up off the ground to answer. “No, Dad. Honestly, I never thought about you having a relationship much less sex.”
Dad burst out laughing then. “Well, I do.”
I stuck my fingers in my ears and started singing, “Lalalalala. I don’t want to know, Dad.”
My dad sobered then and cleared his throat. “Do you think if I found someone I really liked that you’d be okay if I brought him round?”
I took my fingers out of my ears and went back and threw my arms around him again and squeezed tight and then let go. “Yeah, Dad.” Before things could get any more awkward, I dashed out the door and closed it behind me. I hissed traitor as I passed Mr. Th’s desk and went out to the range.
