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.

When Aly drove Finn's Audi into the swimming pool, it was only the beginning.

Finn de Clare is Oxford-educated, precise, and quietly devastated by the fact that the most chaotic person he has ever met is also the love of his life. Aly is quantum mechanics, Romano-British mythology, and a door ripped clean off its hinges at midnight in Fulham. He is also, somehow, brilliant.

Set across the sun-drenched banks of the Henley Royal Regatta, the moonlit river at Oxford, and the warm gin-soaked corner tables of a West London restaurant, Hard Henley is a gay British literary romance about what happens when the person who drives you absolutely insane turns out to have been quietly right about everything all along.

Witty, warm, explicit, and unexpectedly moving, Hard Henley follows Finn and Aly through one chaotic, champagne-soaked summer — complete with a DDR lamp that can't be plugged in, a corgi called Mr Wigglesworth, a Brazilian waiter in Tom Ford underwear, and twelve thousand pounds in royalties Aly completely forgot he had.

Philip Larkin never wrote about gay rowers. He probably should have.

Part of the Silverbourne series. Standalone read.

What happens when two gay men try to have a quiet weekend away and fail spectacularly?

Finn and Aly escape to a luxury Cotswolds spa for the New Year with one rule: no complications. Within hours, their borrowed Corgi, Braveheart, has staged a miniature protest, a stranger in a red Speedo has issued a reprimand at the pool, and two older men from Bristol have arrived for dinner with a very good bottle of wine and absolutely no intention of behaving themselves.

Set across a candlelit retreat, the elite rowing clubs of West London, and a fifteenth-century Oxfordshire manor house sitting on Roman foundations, Restraint follows four men across a series of weekends that none of them will quite be able to explain afterward.

Funny, frank, and written with the raw authenticity of a world most fiction only guesses at, this is gay literary fiction that explores the fine line between rivalry and desire. It is a story about the "almost"—which turns out to be considerably more interesting than the "did."

Revised Second Edition – Enhanced March 2026 with original hand-drawn illustrations. Previously published as: A Gay Romance in the Cotswolds under the pen-name Bradley Conrad.

This report examines the critical intersection of platform law, algorithmic design, and commercial discrimination within digital publishing aggregators. It argues that the "neutral" architecture of platforms such as Draft2Digital (D2D) facilitates systemic attrition of LGBTQ+ content through biased metadata routing, heteronormative taxonomical structures, and opaque enforcement loops.
