https://mybook.to/HRHM3PaP
Chase Connor spends his days writing about the people who live (loudly and rent-free) in his head when he’s not busy being enthusiastic about naps and Pad Thai. Chase started his writing career as a confused gay teen looking for an escape from reality. Ten years later, one of the books he wrote during those years, Just A Dumb Surfer Dude: A Gay Coming-of-Age Tale, was published independently. Chase has numerous projects in various stages of completion lined up for publishing. Chase is a multi-genre author, but always with a healthy dollop of gay.

My big goal right now is one day to be responsible enough to get a dog. -

I write mm romance novels that take place in fantastical medieval type settings and love to use the challenges of the times to give my stories and characters life. -
