Siren is a free short story I am releasing 1st September on Smashwords, Amazon and Goodreads (and ARe if I can work out how).Īlso, my husband designed the cover. BLURB: When fifteen-year-old Romeo’s mother leaves one day and doesn’t return, he finds himself homeless and trying to survive on the streets. Taking care of Romeo changes him, gives him a purpose in life, gives him hope, and he tries to be strong and keep his troubles with drugs behind him.

I wrote this story a month before I started writing This is Not a Love Story at the end of 2011 (This is Not a Love Story took 18 months in total to complete-mostly because I took a break in the middle) and Siren was only the second M/M romance I’d ever completed. But once I’d completed two stories it was as though I’d found my groove and I’ve been writing mostly everyday since! A runaway from an abusive home, he has had to make some difficult choices and sells himself on the street to survive. It is fantasy (Siren is a fairy and Grey has certain powers, that I don’t go into detail about ) but it’s also set in contemporary England. Grey is in love with Si but he’s older and he’s certain Si is not interested. Suki Fleet's first novel This is Not a Love Story won Best Gay Debut in the 2014 Rainbow Awards, and was a finalist in the 2015 Lambda Awards. What do readers say about Neverwhere very witty. This is the story of their struggle to find a way off the streets and stay together at all costs. I wanted to write a sweet, light, One Shot that was definitely adult, about how two of the secondary characters-who I adored-got together, and so Siren was born. What do readers say about This Is Not a Love Story super angsty, super immersive.

The idea for Siren came from a much longer fantasy story that involved a whole world of fairies called The Dark, a boarding school, and a fight between good and evil (I have never finished it).
