Finding His Prince

Finding His Prince is finally out!

Dorji is the crown prince of Bhutan, a tiny Buddhist kingdom high up in the Himalayas. He lives a life of responsibility and rules, especially with his coronation fast approaching.

Michael is an American botanist working for the royal family after a very public scandal forced him to leave his country. He’s drawn to the handsome royal, but he knows that any interaction between them would lead to yet another life-derailing scandal. The two men come from different worlds, and even though the attraction between them is palpable, they can never give in to their feelings. 

During a royal visit to their national park, Prince Dorji's bitchy fiancée, Karma, gets lost, and Dorji has to team up with Michael to find her. In the process, sparks fly between the two men. This sweet, comedic romance follows the two as they trek through the most beautiful country on Earth, all while a humbled and embarrassed Karma develops an unexpected side-romance of her own. But as the dangers worsen and the reality of their impossible situation begins to sink in, will Dorji and Michael accept that their love is stronger than the forces keeping them apart?

I Hate Your Face - podcast

Marcus returns to his hometown and is forced to work with his high school bully Eli on their ten-year reunion. But through their nonstop fighting, the two realize that they might be falling in love.

I Hate Your Face is my new gay romcom in audio form. I had a blast writing this, and our narrators and voice actors really killed it. 

If you're on the fence about checking it out, there's a dramatic monologue about Jennifer Lopez getting explosive diarrhea at her niece's quinceanera. If that sounds like your vibe, then we'd probably be friends. (And you should probably check out the story.)

The first episode is free, but the rest of the story (six more episodes) are under a subscription model. But Headfone has a lot of awesome series out there, including my friend's pirate drama that I can't praise enough, so it's a pretty cool investment. You can download the Headfone app and find a bunch of romance, horror, and thriller goodies.

While You Were Sleeping

I love romcoms. There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a well-made romance about two completely different people who are pushed together in funny and exciting ways. These movies can have the hometown charm of Sweet Home Alabama or the quirky Britishness of Notting Hill or the satisfying snark of The Wedding Singer.

I’ve written a couple romance novels in the last couple years, and I feel like each one captures a slightly different romcom flavor. One of my earlier books—Waking Up to Love—has that American, wacky-side-characters, boy-next-door thing going for it. There’s also a coma central to the plot, and a plucky Sandra Bullock-type heroine. She won’t let anyone push her around, but she also isn’t the most put-together heroine on the block.

When I was asked to include this novel in Simon and Schuster’s new Hollywood Kisses anthology, I wasn’t surprised that my book would fit into the While You Were Sleeping slot. The plots have some definite similarities, but beyond that, the tone is basically the same. So if you catch yourself going back to the 90s cult classic, then you should probably check out the anthology.

And if coma comedies aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other romcoms represented in the anthology. That’s what so great about our genre. There’s a little bit of something for everyone.

(This is a Korean soap opera, also with the name "While You Were Sleeping."

I haven't watched it (and I don't speak Korean, but it looks like a trip.)
