Patterns of Us

Russell and Loukas were that couple in university. The one that was joined at the hip and does everything together. Until they weren't.

After five years of tactically avoiding anything to do with each other, they find themselves thrust back together and facing their biggest challenge yet - co-parenting.

An LGBTQ+ romance packed with angst and yearning, Patterns of Us follows Russell and Loukas in their past and present as they navigate the challenges life and loss throw at them.

Can they learn from their mistakes and finally build the life they dreamed of?

Steph has always loved crime fiction, but as an avid activist and pansexual woman, the genre has always struck her as an area with little LGBTQ+ representation. So, when the characters of Gareth Hughes and Scott Parmer burst into her mind, solving crimes as a gay couple, she knew she had to put their story on paper. Steph currently lives in Leeds with her husband and fur baby (a black cockapoo named Pablo), spending her free time reading, writing and snuggling on the sofa.
