I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t write. I’d probably go mad. (Tennessee Williams)

About Me

Welcome, friend.I’m NL Gassert and this is my page. If gay fiction is your thing, then take a moment to look around. My gay romantic suspense novel THE PROTECTOR (Winter 2007) has just become available for pre-order at Seventh Window Publications, the same publisher who put out M.J. Pearson’s groundbreaking THE PRICE OF TEMPTATION and her new DISCREET YOUNG GENTLEMAN (which I sincerely recommend).THE PROTECTOR Soren Buchanan feels trapped by his relationship with the dangerous and sexy Jolina Miciano. But his controlling father, crime boss James Buchanan, does not want Soren to end the relationship with Jolina, a union with the potential to make James more powerful than he already is. Unwilling to be a pawn in his father's game, Soren decides to stop seeing Jolina, even if it means having to suffer through one of his father's viscous beatings. Bloodied and bruised for his defiance, Soren flees to the FBI for help. Mason Ward, security specialist and former US Army Ranger, lives a quiet life on a house boat docked off the island of Guam. Despite his lack of companionship, Mason believes he is living the life he's always wanted. Then a job comes Mason's way, one that will turn his life upside down: hide Soren Buchanan. Protecting Soren should be easy enough for the experienced Mason, but Soren is young, seductive, and not entirely forthcoming about the trouble following him. Soon Mason fights not only his growing attraction to the young man but thugs sent to bring Soren Buchanan home … dead or alive.

My Interests

Books. The writing and reading of them. Music. Movies. The beach.

I'd like to meet:

Hmm. I wouldn’t mind running into the personification of my characters. You know, meet the real life version of tall, dark and dangerous Mason or share a peppermint mocha with Soren at Starbuck’s.

Music:

YES! I'm totally into Yundi Li at the moment.

Movies:

YES! I’m looking forward to The Bourne Ultimatum, but I'm not sure what else is opening soon.

Television:

I really don't have much time to watch television, but my DVR records Torchwood.

Books:

Most recent reads: Rick Riordan (I just love Percy) and a few of Christine Feehan's paranormal romances (the woman writes great action)
