My second novel, Echoes on the Wind, released this week, and so far this is the only place I haven’t shouted about it.

If you like historical fiction, time slips and heaps of drama, all with a gay MC, this might be up your street. #booksky

Bugger it. I’m putting the Christmas tree up.

I’ve been sick as a dog for days and haven’t written a single word all week. I’ve read four books though, so it ain’t all bad.

I was meant to be building a wall and re-laying my driveway today, but the rain is horrendous, so I'm going to get some edits done instead. Or maybe just bum around socials. Either/or

I think I must be the only gay whose book sales go down every Pride Month 😩

1/3 It's Pride Month.

Here's my challenge to all the #mmreaders - We LOVE YOU - all of you...you are a voracious, loyal, and steadfast fan base. But so many of you still cannot find #ownvoice authors.

In honour of Pride Month I'm going to come and steal all your husbands. You can get them back in July.

How about a historical time slip with a gay MC? Borrowed Time and its sequel, Echoes on the Wind, are available everywhere.

I'm currently making a push to grow my author page on Facebook. I know I'm behind the curve, but I only started it a little while ago. If anyone feels so kind as to give me a follow there, I'll be offering virtual cookies. Maybe.

I DID IT!

I wrote a book. I edited it multiple times. I formatted it. I line-edited it. I triple-checked it. I self-published it. I advertised it.

Yes I am super proud of myself for what I’ve achieved.

And it’s finally out in the world

It’s absolutely pissing down, and all I want to do is curl up with a book, but alas, I haven’t found a way yet for this book to write itself, so back to the grind I go.

Maybe it’s time for a reintroduction. I’m Russ, and I’m an author from Wales. I’m gay, and a big advocate for own voices storytelling. I like running, chocolate, sci-fi and procrastinating. I also love talking way too much. Say hey. Let’s be buds.

Go and follow this man
He’s handsome and writes really good historical fiction about gay men as well
Today’s going to be the day I finally work out how to use this app and actually interact with people. If you see me looking lost, come help a gay out.
