The Barometer and the Bite
My name is Lachlan, I'm fifty-three years old, and I live in Ringsted, Iowa, which is a town so small the gas station also sells bait.
Shadow Story
Amateur fiction writer in Virginia, keeping company with no pets right now, just houseplants and dry gin and tonic on weekends. My wheelhouse is Erotic Couplings, Romance, and First Time, told in first-person past tense in a voice that is plain and direct. Always happy to hear from readers who enjoy a real plot alongside the heat. Ranked by how many readers finish them. Some are free to read in full; the rest open with a free preview.
