Librarian
by day, storyteller by night, Alex Draven writes queer romance, alternative
love stories, and erotic tales from the shadows.
More specifically I write erotic romance about men who love men - the sort of fiction that gets called gay romance, queer love, original slash, yaoi, m/m erotic romance, and probably a hundred other things.
A lot of the stories I write have an alternative twist - alternative in the sense of writing about goths and men who love metal or industrial music as well as loving men, and alternative in the sense of non-conventional relationships, unconventional definitions of attractive, and ways of expressing love and lust that maybe fall outside the norm.
If you share my tastes, or enjoy romance with a twist, I hope you'll enjoy my stories.
I'm an omnivorous reader, and have learned never to say 'never' about genres I might write, but the vast majority falls into two main categories; contemporary erotic romance, and urban fantasy (or paranormal) erotic romance.
I have e-books for sale in several formats - you can buy them for your Kindle direct from Amazon, and direct from my publisher in Adobe Reader .pdf, MobiPocket .prc, Microsoft Reader .lit, or universal .html format.
I also have free fiction ready for you to read, and hopefully enjoy.
It is always a pleasure to hear from readers, so please - drop me an email, and hunt me up one of the sites I use, like livejournal, lastfm, librarything, or follow me on Twitter.
