The course of true love doesn't always run straight.
 

Welcome! I'm M.J. Pearson, and I write gay historical romance.

Other things about me: I was born in the Adirondacks. Trail running reminds me of being a kid running wild in the mountains, so I like doing that. I'm an avid fan of pro cycling, and keep threatening to write a cycling novel, but haven't gotten around to it yet. 

Currently (2014) working on a big, sprawling, riches-to-rags-to-well-you'll-just-have-to-wait-and-see story. It's not strictly historical, because I'm making up the setting so I can have fun creating its history, theology, and rules of society. Oh--there will be pirates. But probably not until book 2.

All of my books are available as ebooks directly from the publisher at Seventh Window, or at Amazon (which frequently also has used copies of the print versions).

 

  

Helpless

"Two seek you out," the gypsy tells Douglas, who is just emerging from the grief of his lover's suicide. "One is what he seems, and one is not, and one is dangerous." In a London scandalized by the trial of Oscar Wilde, Douglas catches the attention of two very different men. One of them might bring the healing he needs...if the other doesn't destroy him first.

"Helpless resonates with charm and deep emotion"--Neil Plakcy, author of GayLife.com

His charming companion stirs feelings Dean has long kept repressed, but acting on them would make true the accusations that destroyed his engagement.
