Author Interview with Nephylim

August 2, 2012 By Brandon 5 Comments

Nephylim, LGBT AuthorToday I’m talking with Cheryl Headford who writes under the pen name Nephylim, an author and practicing attorney in South Wales about sex, bias, boxes and books. What couldn’t be great about all that?

B: Let me ask you first for those not familiar with your work what your pen name means and how you came to it?

N: The Nephylim were the children of men (metaphorically speaking of course) and angels. They are mentioned at various times and in various ways in the Bible and other mythologies. The Bible doesn’t like them, describing them as monsters and seeking to wipe them out. Other mythologies, such as Sumerian and Egyptian are kinder. [Read more…] about Author Interview with Nephylim

Afflicted – Excerpt

July 28, 2012 By Brandon 2 Comments

Afflicted by love’s madness all are blind – Sextus Propertius

Read the blurb

gay romanceHunter knew this wasn’t one of those childish boy-whores trolling for perverts; this was a man. Young, but still a man. He couldn’t see him, but his voice told Hunter that he was a man that had done things of which he’d never spoken; a man who lent himself to situations where his precociousness could not have extracted him safely, yet he’d gone anyway. For the money, or the drugs, or the thrill, Hunter wasn’t sure which.

He had a hard street smell to him: the coarse weave of slightly greasy jeans; the soft, worn odor of a leather jacket; the musty, unwashed smell of lank hair. What would his feet be like trapped in boots all day? Hunter wondered. Not rank, no; a slight vinegar smell, like chips, only with a more sensual under-tongue taste.

Hunter also questioned himself about the haughtiness of the man’s poise. Did he hold a mild distance, unerringly begging you to pull him in close? Did he burn you with a cool, liquid stare that dried the mouth? Or did he bark a seductive, fuck me trash-boy look that would melt your eyes? [Read more…] about Afflicted – Excerpt

Do you like hot Southern gay men?

July 11, 2012 By Brandon 2 Comments

I love Southern gay men. I love the way they drawl, say Yes Ma’am, No Sir; that redneck tan line and those tight country jeans. Mmm, makes me melt every time.

Have you ever met a gay blind man? One from the South? Ever?

gay romanceDon’t worry, most people in the LGBT community haven’t either. So I want to introduce you to Hunter Stephens. He’s gay, tall, dark haired, and he’s hot. Very hot. But he doesn’t rely on the visual cues when appraising a man because he’s also blind. He listens to the timbre of their voice, trembles at the touch of their skin, and luxuriates in the deep richness of the aroma of man. He’s hard of the hand because he’s a black belt and takes no shit, but soft of the heart because he’s lonely and has been for a while.

Until he meets Dillon.

Dillon Chambers is pure man candy. He’s a high-priced male escort who works with an exclusive agency handling only the wealthiest of clients. But it wasn’t always like that for him. At sixteen he was thrown out of the house for being gay and struggled to survive, turning tricks on the street and finding food and a place to sleep wherever he could. He met two people who changed his life, but he has never met anyone who could change his heart.

Until he bumped into Hunter.

And now they are both Afflicted.

Afflicted – M/M Romance

May 29, 2012 By Brandon 7 Comments

Afflicted - best mm romanceA high priced male escort and a blind gay man meet by chance. What ensues is a hot, steamy romance by two men looking for something more than a one night stand. But can they reach beyond their own insecurities to grasp what they really desire?


So I’ve been working on this for a while now. The basis of the story was from a short I had written almost ten years ago. Over this past weekend we finally decided on a title and put the cover together.

This is a substantial departure from my other novels and filled with hot steamy sex. It also looks to be something that could grow beyond a single book. Additionally, this is a HEA book because so many of you have asked me for one that doesn’t leave you in tears.

I’ll be posting excerpts on the blog (and likely on Goodreads). 

Questions and comments are always welcome. 

Coming September 2012
