THE AUTHOR BEHIND THE MONSTERS

Hello. I’m Baert.

I write gay romance about monsters, magic, and men making terrible decisions. Sometimes there are horns. Sometimes there are tentacles. There are always feelings to contend with.

If you like an unusual boyfriend, a little ridiculousness, and tenderness in unexpected places, make yourself at home.

A little monstrous.A lot to love.
