#SumLuv I don't remember the first one, I read many books as a kid and had free access to my parents library so... lady Chatterley's Lover around 12 I think... and many more. I also snatched a few romantic booklets from my grandma, they were translated from German and had amazing clinch covers.

#WritingPrompt Yes, I have a queer romance trilogy set in Ancient Rome, but as ever nothing was planned, Book 1 Donum started as a short story... Then my MCs wouldn't stop playing and the rest is history. My bestselling work with Donum being my most read book. And a sequel is brewing 20 years later

#SumLuv As I write down the movies in my head, the feelings are what my characters show me, I don't do plot devices or plan. Sometimes it's instant, sometimes it's hate, or just attraction or forbidden love, slow burn... I don't control these. In Home, Damian and Gabe hate each other first.

The young man took the glass out of her hands, arching his eyebrows. “What’s up?” “That asshole wants his drink without ice… and I forgot because of everything else we have to do… and it’s anyway soon take-off. Fucker!” She opened the bottle, but the young man took it out of her hands. “Hey. Let me deal with it. Just get the other stuff ready. His first drink?” She rolled her eyes with a grateful smile. “Third.” “Oh.” “Yeah… oh! Mighty fine asshole, that’s for sure. Thanks, Gabe.” “It’s nothing.” He poured the drink and brought it to that lone man. Leaning a bit as he was tall, putting on his smile. “Your drink, sir.” Meeting his eyes as he looked up, steel blue, almost with a grey shade. Black hair cut short, a business haircut, his jaw clenched. Anger. Fear. A surprised flash in those stunning eyes, too quickly gone as he took the glass out of his hands, his lips twisting into a disgusted curve. Damian scanned his face, a bit puzzled at this young man, as he had been expecting the blonde woman. Hazel eyes and light-brown hair, almost dark blonde, cut short, but the top had been left a bit wild, even if he’d tamed it with a dash of gel. A wide smile which seemed to light up the room. Surely a fag… He pursed his lips and took the drink, averting his eyes. He sipped the drink, trying to tame the shaking of his hand, his eyes back on the paper. Gabe straightened and left him, feeling a bit flustered, maybe a vague shame there, but he dismissed it fast, busy with preparing the take-off. H

Meet cutes don't have to be "cute"! They are a plot device 🧡 But! Let's talk about how they DO feel about each other early on! Is it fairytale love? Is it *lust* at first sight? Hate at first sight? All?? Snips here are welcome (always welcome if you want to answer anything with a snip) 🧡 #SumLuv

#WIPSnips From my age gap scandal WIP. Charles and Siegfried are waiting for the men who will clear out Siegfried's hated father's house. And that moment is also laced with having found each other and birthing feelings, on top of Charles grieving his best friend.

“I’m not leaving you alone to deal with this. It’s my shit.” “Thanks...” That moment, stretching in time, that moment of having his hand on his arm. It would have been easy to turn that touch into a pull, to just tip him enough to catch him, his mouth, but Siegfried let him go, and curled his hand into a fist, that touch lingering, dancing on his skin. “Let’s go, old man.” “Yes…” Hurrying to the entrance, the ghost of his touch on his skin. Taking the keys, he froze when he felt Siegfried behind him, close. “I’ll make you pay for that suit.” Soft, it had his smile. Charles smiled. “I haven’t forgotten.” A small thrill as he opened the door. Stopping a bit when he saw those strong men get out of the truck, the finality of that moment hitting him in the chest. Siegfried’s voice. “Those are just objects, Charles. None of us take anything with us.” “He’d be very upset, that’s all…” “He’s dead.” Looking down into those eyes frame in gold when Charles looked back at him. Guessing. “It might be the right time for you to think about yourself. You want to keep all his shit? Or you want to turn the page?”

#SumLuv In my published debut Fall, Jake falls during a run in the park and is helped up by a kind stranger with beautiful green eyes and so... Jake's whole world shifts then when their eyes meet. I never avoid anythingy my characters show me, and I don't plan anything either.

shouldn’t have gone out for those drinks… His friend’s mocking face floating in his mind… Come on, Jake boy, another one won’t kill you... Fucker… His eyes went wide a bit when the world turned, a dull pain in his ankle as he hit the ground. What the fuck… He sat, a bit stunned, tearing his earplugs out, his hands going to his ankle. Fuck, fuck, fuck, no, not this…. His irritation grew with his pain and his head snapped up at the voice above his head. “You need help? “ His eyes met the stranger’s kind green eyes under a mop of wet dark hair, his chest heaving from his run. He crouched down and reached out his hand, but Jake just snarled at him. “Leave it! I’m a doctor, I can take care of it!” A puzzled shadow flew across the stranger’s face, and he raised his hands. “Ok, ok…” Jake’s face softened, remorse creeping into his sour mood. “Sorry… it’s just… I don’t need an injury right now.”The stranger smiled at him, a warm broad smile, and he reached out his hand again. “Let me help you up. Let’s try to walk to that bench?” “Ok…” He grabbed Jake’s hand under his wrist and pulled him up effortlessly, his arm around his waist, and he helped him to the bench. Jake pressed his body against his warm side, tentatively putting weight on his ankle, and was slightly puzzled to see that it was less painful. He also felt how strong the stranger was, holding him by the waist as if he weighed nothing. He made him sit and sat next to him. “Feeling better?” “Yeah… thanks.” Jake looked at him and checked him out. Quite tall, with broad shoulders and chest, muscled arms, hands and legs, his eyes met the stranger’s amused green eyes in his handsome face, his dark hair lightly falling into his eyes, and he felt a bit awkward with his lanky body and lean muscles. He’s older than me, possibly in his thirties, and much fitter.

Monty Roberts is gone. And many people said many things about him, but he and his book made that shift in me from a classical rider who didn't know any better to one that puts the horse at the heart of everything. I binge read his book many times, and watched those few available grainy videos

#SumLuv I'm Max, a queer author writing about guys falling in love in various places and times. I'm self-published with books out and more WIPs... Right now, I picked up my horsey WIP I started a year ago. The improbable love story between a natural horseman and an arrogant show jumper.

Quote in the middl of a moodboard “I’m a professional show jumper. A champion.” Facing him off. Beau sucked on his teeth, unfazed. “Yeah, maybe… that was some shit riding though, champion or not.” “I don’t have to listen to a peasant like you… the fuck you know about riding…” “If you call that riding, what you did, I sure hope I know nothing about it…” Beau left him, before he would grab him and dunk him in the trough.

#SummerOfStories This is very difficult to explain in words, but stories kept me safe, kept me alive and sheltered when I had to escape from the real world, they made me realize I was trans, they shaped and moulded me... and same for writing, it's life blood. Stories are life.

#FavLineFriday I like this moment in my horsey WIP I worked on this week when Beau buys an old donkey to save him from slaughter. And Beau also has an idea in mind that could be good for Finn's bitter horse... (cw animal with past abuse in a poor state)

Going to the pen then, he gathered that sack of bones in a tattered red halter which had all but grown into his skin, rubbing the hair off the bridge of his nose. Ears pricked, sniffing Beau with that large nuzzle, somehow, that animal knew he was not going into that truck smelling of death backing to the pens. “Come, bud… Let’s go.” Smiling a bit that he had bought that old donkey, but he walked and tugged a bit, and the donkey followed. Slow, but Beau had that patience to match his wobbly steps. To the trailer where he just opened the door, and lowered the ramp. Walking in, not even looking back, feeling him follow, feeling his nose against his back. Tying him up, he ran his hand on that meagre coat, tracing his bones, the whip scars. Putting a lump of hay in the net. “Not too much, bud… ok? Don’t make yourself sick.” Boiling at the state of that animal. “We’re going home. I have a new friend for you, you’ll see.” Smiling, watching the donkey munch that hay, careful. He locked him up and climbed up, starting the engine, rolling out softly under that rising sun. Putting the radio on, some country songs filling the air, and all felt good and right, that warm blood raced around by his generous heart. A tiny idea there, taking shape as he hummed the tune of the song. A tiny thought, his heart warm.

Fuck AI! That plagiarism thief of a machine with zero creativity. It is most important now that this plague has been unleashed on us to keep being creative and make human art. It's vital. AI is destroying our minds, destroying nature and is a greedy money machine. I fight it by not using it first.
