I'm sick of being called Junior. Sure, I'm William Nicholas Martens, Jr., but I just want to go by Nick. I'm sick of my boyfriend mismatching his socks on purpose. And I'm sick of being in the closet.
All this changes when my band Taking Back Nick lands a record deal. My friends Casey, Kennedy, Levi, and I are about to make it big. In one night I come out to my parents and break up with my boyfriend. And then the hard part starts. Casey is my oldest friend, and I move in with him after my breakup. But things ... start to happen.
We skyrocket to fame, but Casey finds himself in the middle of some serious addiction issues. Combined with him showing me so much affection, I start to worry there's more going on than just the stress of success. Will Casey be able to overcome his addictions and find happiness? More importantly, will that happiness be with me?

Chris wrote his first book in middle school, a children's story about the alphabet. He enjoyed it so much he began writing a science fiction story with explosions, superpowers, and romance-then life got in the way, and he set the project down. After several years, he picked the book up again and ran with it. This book became the first novel he ever wrote: Fragments: The Revelation.
Feeling inspired and called to write, Chris began writing more and more frequently, and generating new story ideas. This includes a paranormal murder mystery, gay romance, a light fantasy series, a children's picture book, and gay vampire erotica.
Overall, Chris's reading tastes are as eclectic as his writing. He enjoys reading fiction as well as nonfiction work. He's drawn to any story that makes his heart race. He continues to work on stories while contacting publishers to get published. He currently resides in Southeastern Idaho with his husband, Trent, and their dog, Chewbacca (Chewie).
