Simon Strange loves coffee, beer, and men. So far Coffee hasn't played a prominent role in his stories, but he shamelessly plugs his favorite beers and no one keeps their clothes on for too long in his books. The only thing better than men, he'll tell you, is naked men. Relatively new to self-publishing, Simon burst all over the scene of Amazon with his first story, A Lakeside Secret. Since then he's been writing like mad and publishing like a fiend, and absolutely loves hearing from his readers. As an 'out' erotica and romance author, you can see Simon's face and everything. This is because Simon believes in being one's authentic self one hundred percent of the time! He encourages you to do the same so that you can be deliriously happy as well. When not writing, drinking coffee, chuggin' a beer, or being naked with naked men, Simon works on his many hobbies, including bookbinding, woodcarving (uh, actual wood), and brooding. He is getting very good at brooding, and figures that in the right light it makes him look very writerly. He does this in honor of one of his very favorite Authors, Sir Terry Pratchett; the only man for whom Simon has truly cried upon news of his passing. "I promise to brood more broodingly than the most experienced brooders, Mr. Pratchett, and to one day brood with you in Writer's Heaven*." Human rights are central to Simon's philosophy on life. For this reason, 10% of the all book sales are donated to the Human Rights Campaign. Readers are encouraged to check out HRC.org - you'd be surprised how you can help lead the fight for equality. *(Writer's Heaven, as most writers and almost no readers are aware, is a special subsection of the heavenly realm consisting almost entirely of dimly lit coffee bistros, large, comfy high backed chairs, and hats. It is illuminated by a smoky light that makes even the weakest brooding appear entirely authentic and meaningful.)
