Back in 2008, I was approached by photographer David Gwinnutt, who has photographed many gay authors, including some of my personal heroes. He took these shots at my flat in London. If my memory serves me correctly, The Dreaming by Kate Bush was playing in the background. #tbt #tbthursday

Topping myself is becoming a bit of a habit. But at least it’s the ebook topping the paperback this time, which shows some versatility. #VersatileTop
