Sadie is older than they think they are, and has spent most of that life creating characters that take the place of children and other worlds that sustain them when the Real World gets too much to handle. They are the parental unit of vegetarian, vampire rock-tart, Rayne Wylde, half-leprechaun rebel-rouser, Malachai Valentine and human/communications-media interface Dr. Mari Gale.
Since the turn of the century they have written in collaboration with good friend and eternal muse, Bellora Quinn. Together Bellora and Sadie have created the extensive vampire series, The Rhythm of His Blood, which began life as a web-story and will be published by Pride Publishing from Spring 2024. They are also authors of the ongoing Elemental Evidence series, set in London, plus Demon Familiar, book one of a dystopian fantasy series called Wanted, which was published by Pride Publishing in May 2018. SRB also contributed a story, Waiting For Michael, to the Queer Sci Fi Flash Fiction anthology, IMPACT, in 2018.
SRB lives by the coast in the south of England with their partner Mr. Steve, collects penguins, adores the rock band Suede, and is the adopted parent of a tabby cat called Trouble.

Summary: Jake Chivis is the descendant of Fire Elementals with a gift for psychometry, the ability to see memories from touching objects. After a bad break up and trouble at work, Jake gave up his career as a detective in Detroit and moved to England to join a research program studying Elemental gifts at University College London. It seems like the perfect way to escape his past and start over, and this time he's not falling into the trap of dating a co-worker. At least, that's the plan, until he meets Doctor Ilmarinen Gale. Mari Gale is blond, sexy, relentlessly academic and comfortable in his own skin in a way Jake envies. After a handful of embarrassing encounters, Jake is ready to resign himself to staying under the radar, but when a colleague's brother goes missing, Jake and Mari must work together to find him. As they dig into the inexplicable disappearance, Jake is impressed with Mari's competence and his unique skills, and even more impressed by his ability to wrap Jake around his finger. Together the unlikely pair discover murder, betrayal, secrets and just how high Mari can fan Jake's flames.
