STEALING WISHES is my new book now available online and in bookstores. It’s a gay romantic comedy about an obsessive compulsive coffee barista trying to find true love on the dating scene.

Which is more important? The perfect cup of coffee or the perfect date? Why can’t we have both?

Blaine is an Isherwood reading, photo taking, obsessive compulsive coffee barista who steals money out of public fountains and who can’t find a date. Obsessed with the number 32, his age, Blaine blames his lack of companionship as the reason for his habitual acts. He counts steps, sets his alarm clock at 32 minute intervals, and traces the numbers on his apartment door each time he leaves. Every day is timed and in sync to Blaine’s magic number!

When his best friend Sallie sets him up on a blind date, the overanxious caffeine slinger becomes convinced that Edward, the new man in his life, will cure his compulsions. But when Blaine discovers he has nothing in common with Edward except for their common interest in Isherwood’s writing, complications quickly ensue.

Soon, an artsy tattooed coworker named Auden tells Blaine about a local photography contest, and Blaine sets out to capture that perfect winning snapshot. But just as Blaine thinks he has his illness conquered, his perfect unvarying world spirals out of control when he skips a beat in his daily routine, ultimately making Blaine realize that Mr. Right has been right in front of him the whole time, but just out of focus.

STEALING WISHES is a caffeinated romantic comedy with extra cream and sugar! Blaine’s obsessive outlook on the world is one in which any reader can find something to relate to.
