J.M. Snyder a.k.a. J. Tomas and J.T. Marie:

I'm a writer. More specifically, I'm a self-published and e-published author whose interest lies in gay erotic fiction. Why? Why not? I write what's in my head and I guess that's just how my mind works. You'll find that my stories run from contemporary to science fiction, because I like a variety of different genres, but the characters are all gay men. They're just who I like to write about, and who I've found my fans like to read about. And I don't shy away from the sex, either (though some people say I don't write enough). Gay erotic romance, you could call it. Works for me.

Currently I live in Richmond, Virginia, and hold down a full-time job as an office manager for a consulting firm. I have two very spoiled cats named Jelly and Jono. On those rare occasions when I'm not writing or editing or marketing my books, I like reading (mostly fantasy, sci-fi, and non-fiction), visiting Civil War historical sites, watching TV (mostly the Discovery Channel; I'm a nerd), and playing video games (I'm a Legend of Zelda fanatic).

I graduated from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. While there, I was the Fantasy Editor of The Fractal, our campus sci-fi/fantasy journal. After graduation I started my own speculative fiction webzine, Disenchanted, published quarterly for almost two years. Though it was mostly fantasy, I began to explore gay fiction in the last few issues.

At some point I stumbled upon slash fan fiction and thought, "I can do that." I dabbled in various fandoms (X-Men, Star Wars, an awesome video game called Suikoden), but when I finally got serious about fan fic, it was in "real person slash," specifically Justin and Lance from the boy band, 'N Sync.
