About me:

I am a male romance and mainstream novelist in the tradition of such great authors as Robert Waller, Sidney Sheldon, Nicholas Sparks, and Harold Lowry. Having started writing short stories in childhood, my love for creating tales of love and romance carried into college and adulthood. My big break as a romance writer came in 2005 when my novel, DARK AND DASHING, was published by Harlequin in the two-romances-in-one volume, SLOW MOTION. This was picked up by Black Expressions and the novel received rave reviews. The next year I became the first male author to write a solo romance novel for Harlequin's Arabesque line with LOVE ONCE AGAIN. It also received great reviews. I have followed up on these successes with the heartwarming romance novel, CHRISTMAS HEAT (Kimani, 2007) and DESTINED TO MEET (Kimani, 2008). My newest contemporary romance is KISSING THE MAN NEXT DOOR (Kimani, 2009). And look for a new steamy holiday romance coming in November 2009 from Kimani, CHRISTMAS DIAMONDS!
