About Me


..
Who is M.L. Rhodes? I could give you the long-winded run-down of my writing credits, the great reviews I’ve gotten, the awards I’ve won, and all the various writing organizations I belong to. I could tell you how long I’ve been writing professionally and how I’ve been published in numerous genres. But why? You can browse around my website and see most of that for yourself. LOL! Yeah, I know that's the kind of stuff most authors put in their bio, but the reality is...I’m a bit of a nonconformist. Okay, some people I know might say I’m a lot of a nonconformist. Hey, life’s too damn short not to live it my way. :)
So, among the many, many other things that define me, I am a writer. I don’t eat bon-bons and wear pink fuzzy slippers all day. Nor do I have an assistant to do research for me and answer fan mail—though I can dream, can’t I? Nope, it’s just me. Usually dressed in jeans or sweats, Mountain Dew clutched in hand, at my computer, sweating, writing, thinking, pounding out the words at a faster and faster clip the closer a deadline draws near. I kind of need deadlines to finish books. That's a bit of a curse. While I'm writing, I laugh at the funny parts and cry at the sad and happy parts. I fall in love with my characters over and over again. I’m a storyteller. And a daydreamer. Always have been. Who'd have thought I’d make a living at it?
I love movies, have a huge DVD collection, and I’m addicted to iTunes. I garden, hike, and frequently stargaze for the sheer awe of it. I love the mountains and snow, warm sunny days, the ocean, and the desert. I work best at night, when the world is quiet and dark and at peace. And I daydream. Did I mention that? LOL! I’m also open-minded and liberal about...oh, most everything. Hey, I write erotic romance. Did you expect me to say something different? :)
That’s me in a nutshell. If you’d like to know more about what makes me tick, again I invite you to browse around my website and see what you can see!
Some of my fave tunes...
Check out my newest m/m book video below! I just uploaded it 3/24/07! (Be sure to turn off the music above so it doesn't interfere.)
Some of my banners...grab one or two or three if you'd like! :)

My Interests

Movies, music, reading. I read a lot of different stuff--I like all genres of fiction, and I read nonfic, too--but I'm currently pretty obsessed with Harry Potter slash and YAOI.

I'd like to meet:

I don't necessarily have to meet them...but I sure do like looking! Of course, if any of them showed up on my doorstep to say hi I wouldn't exactly turn them away. ;)

~*~ ML's HUNK OF THE WEEK ~*~

Tattooed hunk #3 :)

To see past hunks of the week, visit my main website where I keep them all archived for your (and my!) viewing pleasure! :)

Music:

I have eclectic music taste. I like everything from classic rock to pop to new age to the blues. About the only thing I don't listen to is rap. And I'm not a huge country music fan, though there are certain artists/groups I do like.

What I've recently been listening to a lot on my iTunes player...

~James Blunt
~Pink
~Bon Jovi
~The Doors
~Evanescence
~Daughtry

Movies:

The Harry Potter movies, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Matrix (the first one--I didn't love the other two), Underworld & Underworld Evolution, anything with Jason Statham, anything with Gerard Butler, Spiderman 2, Moulin Rouge, Notting Hill, and a ton more. I'm a movie junkie and like too many to list them all.

Television:

I don't watch a ton of TV, but I love getting TV series on DVD and watching them. It's addictive! My fave series are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Lost, Queer as Folk (US version), Ugly Betty, the new Battlestar Gallactica, and my current obsession...the new BBC Doctor Who (which I LOVE!).

Books:

I write both gay (m/m) and hetero erotic romances. Here are some of my currently available titles!

Out Of My Mind (m/m)

Always (m/m)

Hearts & Bones (m/m)

Never Let Go (m/m)
