Charlie Cochrane - Mysteries with a dash of slash, romances with just a pinch of spice

I'd like to welcome Matthew Lang today. He's one of my fellow MLR authors, with his story Christmas Memories in the series of Thanksgiving-through-to-New-Year releases.

Blurb:
Jake and Nathaniel found their happily ever after in The Secret of Talmor Manor. The problem is that afters, come with their own set of problems. How exactly do you navigate the minefield of a family Christmas and a new relationship without explaining you met in a dream—or that the dream included a crazy sister and her lover hell bent on killing you both? Is it better or worse when the reincarnated person you’re with differs oh so slightly from the man you fell in love with? After a year of paranormal, is a little slice of normal too much to ask?

What inspired you to start writing?
The great lack of gay characters and stories being told in mainstream fiction. You’ll probably notice that the stories I write are not typical character driven romance dramas, but rather have my characters facing a problem—or problems—that are unrelated or only peripherally related to their sexualities. It can make me unpopular with some readers, but then, I’m more than my sexuality and I believe my characters should be too.
