About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
HANGIN' WITH MY WINDOW MAN, an Amber Allure gay contemporary best seller, is a sequel to TIE 'EM UP, HOLD 'EM DOWN.
The Story: Ryan Halloran is attracted to Boon Andrews the minute he sees him on the window washers’ gondola outside his high rise office. But horror sweeps through Ryan when a gondola cable snaps, and he calls 911 to save the lives of Boon and his co-worker.
Although the near-fatal accident brings the two men together, never could two men be farther apart in lifestyle or social status. Boon, a tattooed high school drop-out, wears earrings and dresses in frayed cutoffs and Doc Martens boots. He cleans pools and windows for a living. Ryan, however, holds a master’s degree from the most famous film school in southern California and, as the vice president of a motion picture studio, dresses in Versace suits and Bruno Magli shoes.
Despite their differences, Ryan not only responds to Boon’s carefree manner and relaxed spirit, he lusts for him. Elegant, cultured and self-controlled, Ryan not only responds to Boon’s carefree spirit and relaxed manner, he lusts for him. And Boon discovers his craving for nude sex play with this man turns out not to be based on gratitude that Ryan saved his life, but out of love.
As Ryan wrestles with work problems that could mean the loss of the film studio, he falls deeply in love with the one-of-a-kind Boon. But how will Ryan respond when Boon is with him and a former lover makes a brief appearance? When Ryan and Boon start appearing in public together, will the differences in their social status make a difference…
