I have really enjoyed writing those, and I think the characters become pretty real to me too. I know what you mean about the false conflict of "he doesn't want me" and silly misunderstanding. One of my mentors once told me that if you can clear up conflict with a five minute phone call it isn't conflict. LOL Thanks for dropping me a line, I hope you like the rest of the series...

I just finished your first two St. Nachos Books (after starting with Crossing Borders) and I’m very glad I found these! Your writing amazed me mostly because of your style and your characters. After reading gay romance for quite some time now, I found you are one of the most talented writers when it comes to plot and problem creation and solving. (Trust me I fought myself through many gay stories where most of them left me with a big question mark referring to why a publisher has ever given his Okay to print that work.) Your boys are solidly characterized, they have well-conceived problems and – most of all – they act reasonable in solving their problems. There is no whining about “He doesn’t want me.” – “No! He doesn’t want me.” or other stilted situations. I especially liked the scene where Shawn just comes to River Falls, saying ‘I’m here and I’ll wait until you’re ready to go, Cooper.’ That was so refreshing and beautiful. I actually bought “Physical Therapy” because I wanted to see what you made of Jordan and how he would develop and change. To be honest, I couldn’t take to him very much in “St. Nachos”, but then you made him this unconfident young man who has stopped whining and tries to pull his life back together. Though sometimes I would have liked a deeper conflict between Ken and Jordan, overall the story was sophisticated and left me satisfied. That’s what makes your novels so nice and real. You’re sharing the thrill with the characters and are really wondering if they make it to a happy end this time. I can’t decide which pairing I liked more – but I figure I don’t have to, because I already have all four of them securely stored away in my shelf. And I just saw that you have written a 3rd novel in the series! Thanks in advance for that *grins* Best wishes and keep up the great work! Janine Hello!
