Current projects

MLM SF: BETWEEN THE RUNES (In revision)

One autistic medievalist professor.
One seiðr-practicing Viking-Age archaeologist.
One binding spell older than England.

When Ashton accidentally bleeds on a sixth-century inscription and wakes a wight tied to his bloodline, it places everything he loves at risk – including his infuriatingly brilliant rival, Magnus. They’re terrible at staying away from each other and worse at translating what that means; but as the marsh demands sacrifice and a blight spreads in the Fens, two bickering middle-aged scholars must decide what they owe the past… and each other.

I’ve been asked to work this up to a full novel, but the novella version is available free until the end of February via the Neurodivergence in Queer Romance Event.

Two images side by side. On the left a book cover with a silhouette of two men standing in a misty forest at night. The text "Between the Runes" and name "SJ Griffin" are superimposed on top. On the right is an event poster featuring an infinity symbol superimposed on a stylised rainbow coloured heart. The text reads "Neurodivergence in Queer Romance January 2026. The poster has a rainbow coloured border.

MLM CONTEMPORARY: REUNION (In edit)

Middle-aged electronica star Robert Klein has always masked and hidden his feelings in music, but now his creativity is failing him. Haunted by the past collapse of his band and unrequited love for Drew ‘Bondi Bi’ Baxter —the volatile guitarist who despises him for leaving— Robert wants to move on. Future Burial was something special, but it’s been ten bloody years; if only Drew would let the past go, too.

A death forces Robert and Drew into an unexpected reunion, compelling them to work together for the first time in years. As they rehearse for a memorial concert, old wounds and hidden desires resurface, tangling with the music that binds them, and suddenly, Robert is falling for the chaotic rockstar all over again. Somehow this sober, more mature yet still damaged Drew is in his bed—but even if Robert finds the courage to confess his feelings, how could Drew ever love him back?

Photograph of a rock concert. Superimposed over it are the images of two middle aged men, both wearing leather jackets. One with short cropped hair stands in the foreground hands in pockets, the other with long unkempt hair looking over their shoulder. The text reads "Reunion" in a distressed san-serif font.

MLM SF: CADE’S ROGUE (In development)

Ten years after a war between the Caslon Alliance and Jura Federation, investigator and telepath Cade Trent, hunts the rogue he believes killed his work partner a year ago. But once he catches up with the mysterious Devin Silva, a former black-ops telepath with blood on his hands, Cade discovers more than he bargained for. Devin is hunting evidence of illegal experiments conducted during the war – and proof the fragile peace between Caslon and Jura is built on buried war-crimes.

Cade’s pursuit of justice turns into an uneasy alliance with Devin as they race to uncover the truth. But as the dangerous attraction between them sparks into something more they must choose who to trust, what to reveal, what to sacrifice, and what to forgive – before forces intent on keeping secrets silence them both, permanently.

Two images side by side. On the left is a image of dark alleyway in dystopian future city, smoke and neon lights can be seen in the background. A wary man stands in the foreground, in the background a younger man leans against a wall watching. On the right hand side is a book cover featuring a space scene and the title "Cade's Rogue".

Other Publications

I featured in Metaphorosis Magazine back in 2023, with the SF story Hard Sunset.

However, most of my earlier publications were erotica and my pseudonyms for those are staying firmly under wraps; not because of shame but because humans are fickle and cruel.
