Graham Clark is an out, proud gay man and leatherman whose journey has been shaped by moving cities, coming out, and finding his place in the gay community.

Those first few years after relocating were a blur of new friendships, late-night conversations, and hard-won self acceptance as he learned to live as his most authentic self.

Drawn by both curiosity and the warmth of the people he met, Graham found his way into the leather scene and has since become an active part of the community it offers.

With a background in education and digital learning design, Graham is passionate about creating inclusive, accessible experiences that help people connect, grow, and thrive.

He has brought that same care to curating and shaping the 22 stories in this book so that readers can see themselves reflected, find language for their own journeys, and feel less alone as they navigate leather and identity.

Graham lives in Melbourne, Australia with his partner and can often be found sipping a Campari spritz and catching up on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
