I was in an interview recently and asked, "Why the sudden passion for writing gay fiction?"

My reply was, "I was unhappy with what I could find in the marketplace and wanted something completely different, and that is what I can offer the consumer!"

As with any great story, one must start at the beginning. In 2009, I flat-lined in ICU. I was admitted for being unable to remain conscious. 

"How are you feeling?" the doctor asked.

"Fine," I replied. "Its just my eyes are finding it very hard to see...and I'm feeling slightly faint!"

"Listen to my voice," the doctor instructed while lowering the hospital bed so that I now lay completely flat on my back; however, I was drifting off somewhere else at that moment. With darkness falling around me, I could hear him mumbling something as I drifted off even further away from him.

Abruptly and quite suddenly, I opened my eyes to find myself sitting at a desk. There was a woman currently flipping through paperwork she had piled on a clipboard. My predeceased husband Josh was presently standing behind her, and it appeared he had a close friend along with him.

"Josh, I told you not to bring him here unless he died!" said the lady sitting across from me.

"Jamie did," he replied, "Well, almost...he flat-lined and I snatched him!"

"I already told you, I wanted you to wait!" she barked agitated. "For I still have no records of him arriving today; now take Jamie back at once!"

Josh walked around the desk and reached out for my hand, as they touched I found that he had substance! I was crying at this point and somewhat disoriented. Josh then raised me to my feet.

"Hey babes, I thought you were coming home to me today," he said. "Guess me goofed again...come with me!" The two of us turned, and the room seemed to fade away into nothingness. We now walked along a dark hallway that had bright light protruding from both ends.

"What’s going on Josh," I inquired, "am I dreaming?"

"Nope," he replied, "and like always...I’m in shit again!" He always knew how to make me laugh! "Give us a kiss babes I gotta go, just promise me one thing?"

"You know you can have anything!" I stated gazing up into his eyes while remembering the first time I had. I instantly felt completely at home in his arms!

"I want you to go back and do something different," he stated. "Start a new chapter in your life!" As our lips touched, I never knew how much I missed Josh, until that very moment. I was now held in his arms and suddenly felt his firm demanding lips on mine. I instantly started to melt like butter in a hot frying pan for his mere touch was still electrifying to me!

As we became lost in our kiss, I suddenly felt someone tapping my forehead, and when I opened my eyes. The doctor was once again looking down at me.

"There we are..." he said with a warm smile then turned and laid the paddles down on top of the machine. "We won’t be needing these today."

I was then informed by the doctor that I had just flat-lined, and he was currently getting ready to give me a zap when I started up again all by myself. He advised me that it was quite common to reboot your entire system, almost felt as if I were nothing more to him than a computer.

Only a few days after that I had the wildest dream ever in my life! For the entire duration of the dream, it felt as if I were gazing through the eyes of someone else. That is when the Lamdonville series unfolded before my very eyes, and it is now over three hundred and fifty thousand words of wonder!

From what I can ascertain, I gained access to repressed memory files, maybe even past lives? When I dream now and if they continue along as most of them do. It is like living through the eyes of another, I feel everything that is happening at that precise moment. It can be quite the adrenaline rush, especially in The Evening Mist series!
