Between the marble halls of Le Meurice and the quiet shadows of the American Cathedral, George de Clare is running out of ways to evade his past.

Travelling from London to Paris alongside his impeccably refined friend Jon, George is ostensibly in the City of Light to inspect the Musée Rodin for the international launch of Second Course, his food insecurity startup. Yet beneath the whirlwind of Champagne toasts, high fashion shoots, and luxury boutique strolls, George remains haunted by unresolved grief and the memory of Rupert, his former lover whose life ended far too soon in Le Pigalle.

As old wounds resurface, George finds himself caught in an emotional tangle. In Manhattan, his rowing partner and co-founder Ethan waits with an offer of something real. In Paris, his sharp-witted Canadian friend Matt challenges his guarded aristocratic charm, while Jon offers an unwavering anchor amidst the chaotic backdrop of expat life.

Rich with art, luxury, and raw vulnerability, The George Files: Paris is an authentic literary romance about class, identity, and the courage required to stop running from love.

Ancient British Folklore Reimagined in Verse

Step into the world of the Fabled Gable, where Roman Britain's waning empire collides with myth, magic, and the timeless folklore of the West Country. The Hollow Vale weaves lyrical poetry with Arthurian echoes, Cornish legends, and the sacred landscapes of Somerset, from Glastonbury Tor and Bodmin Moor to the fossil shores of Kilve and the standing stones of Stanton Drew.

Meet the Wenderbeast, a scholarly hog who fled the burning library of Avalon with what scrolls he could carry. Follow Father Thorn, a farm-hand who walked to Bath with an axe to free a goddess from her Roman renaming. Hear Caradoc and Dunval sing the earth itself into a hill to swallow a Roman legion whole. Then settle into the whimsical bed-time poems: ghosts who iron your sheets, faeries whose lanterns are warm to look at and cold to touch, and a crooked man who tells your future but gets the directions wrong half the time.

This collection, part of a five-volume Fabled Gable series, includes three full verse-cycles, seasonal poetry, a mock-academic paper on the mythological origins of Cheddar Cheese, a Tharionese language glossary, an expanded gazetteer, and a prose fable about quantum ethics told through competitive muffin-baking. Every word and illustration is human-made, verified by keystroke-level auditing, and deposited with national libraries.

Poetry, myth, cheese, and a very opinionated hog. Welcome to Somerset.

"In Switzerland, rowing is perfect arithmetic. In England, it can be a beautifully disorganized mess."

~~~~~ PART ONE OF TWELVE ~~~~~

Konrad is a long way from Zurich. A former competitive sculler forced onto the bank by a career-ending injury, he now spends his early mornings coaching an amateur crew on the unpredictable, industrial waters of East London. He is disciplined, precise, and hopelessly, quietly captivated by his athletes.

Set against the sweltering, sun-baked backdrop of Peterborough Regatta, this story explores the thin, razor-sharp line between professional decorum and forbidden desire.

Surrounded by a sea of chaotic, shirtless British banter culture, Konrad navigates the excruciating mental tightrope of same-sex attraction, strict Swiss boundaries, and a small, incestuous rowing circuit where past hookups and sudden revelations wait at every landing pontoon.

Atmospheric, raw, and fiercely observant, this queer slice-of-life short story captures the vulnerability of an expat searching for home, connection, and a clean finish in a world that refuses to play by the rules.

Silverbourne: Between London and Toronto is a quiet, intimate, and authentic gay romance about distance, comparison, and the deliberate search for intentionality in a gay expat's life.

When Matt returns to Toronto for a short winter visit, he expects the easy familiarity of family routines with his brother, old friendships, and the comfort of a city that once shaped him. What he doesn’t expect is how sharply the trip will force him to measure who he was against who he has become. The fragile dynamic shifts completely when Lukas, Matt’s camp, image-conscious, and beautifully chaotic ex-boyfriend, embarks on a dramatic, spreadsheet-mapped vacation of his own to London, crashing directly into the lives of Matt’s new partners, Freddy and Andy.
