What Manner of Man is a queer gothic romance novel about a priest and a vampire.
Father Ardelian has been summoned to a distant, secluded island to perform an exorcism. What will happen when he begins to suspect his host — the mysterious, nocturnal lord of the manor — of wanting him for another reason entirely? Will the piously celibate priest be able to resist his host’s diabolically seductive charms?

The version of What Manner of Man which you can find archived here is (much though I love it!) functionally a rough draft. I intend to keep the story, in this form, free and available to read indefinitely.
The complete novel is now available at the retailer of your choice (or DRM-free Itch.io!)
For those interested, my other novel, The Sacred Sins of Father Black, is available here.
