C.J. Bishop is the pseudonym of gay, lesbian romance novelist A.M. Snead.

The author was born and brought up in Coos County Oregon. She has said that she loved living in the small town with its down-to-earth country folk and down-to-earth atmosphere.

As such, it was not surprising that she chose to live deep in the country woodlands as an adult. Moreover, living in such quiet and secluded settings with only her daughter and several domestic animals for company gives her all the time to write her novels.

What makes Bishop such a different author from her Christian contemporaries is that she is a huge supporter of the LGBT community. She writes most of her works in the gay erotic romance genre, in which she is one of the most beloved authors.

She has said that she hopes her novels will make people more accepting and loving of gay people. This she says would result in more understanding and compassion that she believes have been persecuted and misunderstood for the most part by the Christian community.

Bishop also hopes that her novels will comfort people who are different and that have been told God is angry with them.

Bishop began writing under the pseudonym in 2016 when she contributed to the fourth novel of the “Soulscape” series “Deadly Devotion.”

Her novels usually touch on difficult subjects that she does try to tackle with compassion and grace. She usually writes deeply emotional stories that will reach out to the darkest recesses of the human psyche.

Still, while she writes on difficult topics, what readers can always be confident of is a happily ever after ending.

As a Christian, she believes that God loves all people and that love is beautiful in all circumstances. She has said that she intends to debunk the vicious lies aimed at LGBT people that are told they are going to Hell because God hates them.

She believes God made all people as he wanted them to be and every one is precious. As such, this is the central theme in her novels and the main message she is always looking to put across.

“It Can’t Be You” by C.J. Bishop is a compelling romance novel that introduces Able Sims, a 19-year-old man as the lead. He is an attractive stripper and his red hot looks are what makes him so popular at the strip club where he earns a living.

He is employed at The Phoenix the home of several gay strippers that is frequented by members of the gay community. They come to the club as it is one of the very few places where they can be accepted and have fun too.

Ever since he was a child, family is not been something he had. The only blood relative he has is his sixteen-year-old sister Savannah. He has had a hard life but has finally managed to get a life off of the streets.

Even though his life revolves around the strip club, he has come to consider the club a second home and his colleagues like family. Still, his distrust of the streets remains strong despite the fact that he now has a relatively stable job.

All he wants to do is stay in a place where he can find safety. But then one customer gets too excited and Abel finds himself in the hospital. The last thing he would have expected was to meet someone while in recovery.

Devlin Grant is a handsome young doctor that makes him want to fall in love once again. But just when he thinks he could trust his newfound lover, he finds that the relationship makes him reach back into his nightmarish past.

C.J. Bishop’s novel “Hearts in Chaos” is a fast-paced drama that follows on from the explosive blockbuster that was the debut of the “Phoenix Club” series.
At the close of the debut of the series, Abel was down in the dumps as his sister was ill. But the silver lining was that he had gained the attention of a new love interest.

However, the doctor turns out to be not what he thought he was and he finds himself in trouble once again. Abel is devastated when he learns that the man he had killed in self-defense was none other than the brother of his lover Dr. Grant.

He had to do it to put an end to the abuse but he may now have to cut ties with the doctor to keep his secret. But it is not easy as he is heartbroken at having to break up with the doctor.

He is left with nothing but taking care of his sister and working at his job. He has been going through a very hard time but knows that his actions are probably for the best.

While he was prepared to move on despite the pain, the doctor refuses to leave him alone. Abel will have to decide if it is worth the risk telling him why he broke up with him. What decision will he make?

“Shattered” by C.J. Bishop opens to Able having left the country. He was invited on a vacation abroad by Horatio Kaplan, a man who cannot get enough of him.
Kaplan is a compassionate and genuinely caring man who is very understanding of Abel’s struggles. He had been crushed when Devlin his lover refused to believe him and flat out told him that he was lying about his brother.
With prison a real threat, there was no way he would have denied Kaplan’s invitation to go to Italy.
He believed that he had lost the love of Devlin and would never get it back. Ultimately, he decides to find comfort in Kaplan’s arms.
Slowly he is coming to realize that there is more to his new lover than meets the eyes.
The author draws you in and does a great job making his readers feel extreme emotions from extreme heartache to extreme joy.
