With only a few days to go before the release on November 30 of Defensive Play, my Boys on the Brink novella, I thought I’d share a little teaser with you all. This excerpt actually comes from the opening of the book, set during the annual Brookshire football tournament, where seventeen-year-old Davey lays eyes on Adam for the first time, a moment which turns his precariously balanced world spinning. If you enjoy it, you can preorder your copy here.

I’m excited to announce that Defensive Play, a novella in my Boys on the Brink series, will be released later this month by Beaten Track Publishing! Set against the backdrop of high school football, this is a young adult gay romance, heartwarming and sweet, about falling in love and finding the courage to be true to yourself.
I’m up extra early this morning to stop by the Scott-Palmers holiday cottage on the Cornish coast, in the hope of snatching a private word with Theo, the novel’s nineteen-year-old love interest. I find him seated alone at a table on the terrace, pencil in hand, a sketchpad open in front of him. I pull out the chair beside his and sit down.
I’m on a private beach on the Cornish coast, catching up with Luke, the novel’s seventeen-year-old hero, to find out how his holiday’s going so far. He’s huddled on the sand, knees drawn up to his chest, head in his hands. I drop down to sit beside him.
I’m thrilled and extremely humbled to announce that Caught Inside has been named as the winner of a 2017 Rainbow Award, both for Best Gay YA Novel and in the Best Gay Debut category. It’s an honour to join the ranks of so many talented authors, and to have been a part of such a wonderful showcase for LGBT+ literature. I was particularly touched by some of the comments from the judges and wanted to share them with you.
As anyone who has read Caught Inside will know, guilt and pleasure go hand-in-hand . My heroes, seventeen-year-old Luke, and Theo who is two years older, know what they’re doing is wrong, seeing each other in secret. Luke has a girlfriend, Zara, who also happens to be Theo’s cousin. Their relationship, when discovered, has the power to hurt people and destroy friendships. But they’re young and in love, and the attraction they feel for one another is too strong. They simply can’t help themselves.
