> I think I do have a tendency to create characters for each other, rather than for an audience - I guess in the hope that if they like each other enough the audience will like them too. But I think I probably write this way because, as a reader, I tend to be drawn more to the romance where the characters are deeply particular to each other [...] rather than necessarily presented as attractive to a general readership.

**Alexis Hall** is the pseudonym for a British writer, born in the early 1980s, who writes queer romance. He graduated from Oxbridge in the early 2000s, and was nominated for the Lambda Literary Awards in 2014, 2016, and 2017. He was part of a team of developmental editors for Brain Mill Press, editing manuscripts.

His screen name, 'quicunquevult', relates to the Athanasian Creed, roughly translating to 'whoever wants to be saved'. Over his website, Hall elaborated, "I just think it's an amazing little piece of linguistic mischief and encompasses rather a lot of my favourite things (blasphemy, language, sex, history). I am not, however, at this juncture interested in exchanging sex for money so it's probably a somewhat misleading name for my website. But I prefer to see it as a kind of philosophy about living, writing and reading. My books, and this site, are here for whoever wants to.

He named Ardy as a character he loved to write, due to "so much hope and goodness in his heart" and found it difficult to write Ash Winters.
