Although Kit’s been writing stories since he was a teenager, it wasn’t until 2020 that he stumbled upon the world of M/M romance. Obsessed with the love story between David and Patrick on Schitt’s Creek, he longed to experience more stories about relatable men in healthy, loving, same-sex relationships. Imagine his delight when he discovered that M/M romance is a thriving niche!
Kit loves crafting sexy, funny, and heart-warming stories about men that feel like they could be your best friends (or boyfriends).
He’s a tailor by trade – and yes, someday he will write a romance about a tailor – and lives in Portland, Oregon. When he’s not reading or writing, he’s watching scary movies, putting together miniature kits, or listening to episodes of The Why Files on YouTube while he sews.
My mission is to create stories that celebrate the beauty and complexity of love between men, to show that this love is as rich, meaningful, and profound as any other. Through authentic, memorable characters and immersive world-building, I strive to depict relationships that explore the emotions and experiences that connect us all.
In addition to my own work, I am committed to elevating and supporting fellow authors who write M/M romance, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, as long as they approach their characters with reverence and respect. I seek to foster a creative community where stories of love between men can thrive.
Ultimately, I believe in the power of romance to inspire, uplift, and unite, especially in a world that often seeks to divide. I choose to write romance because we need more stories that bridge our differences and highlight what makes us fundamentally human: the desire to love and be loved.
