It all starts hard. An idea. A cock. A story worth building.

Griff Holland builds with his hands—but seduces with his words.

An award-winning architect by day and a bestselling author of unapologetically raw male erotica by night, Griff lives at the intersection of structure and surrender. He’s restored centuries-old churches, reimagined forgotten New England lighthouses, and designed queer community centers from the ground up. His blueprints are precise. His storytelling is anything but.

Before founding his own architecture firm, Griff competed as a world-class skier, representing the U.S. in two Olympic Games and carving down black-diamond mountains with the same grit he now brings to every page. That same body—scarred, built, and battle-tested—shows up in the rough, aching men who fill his novels.

Griff’s books are soaked in sweat, lust, and longing. He writes gay men with dirt under their nails and secrets in their chests—men who fall hard, fuck harder, and find unexpected grace in each other’s arms. His stories don’t just get you off—they undo you. With each book, Griff proves you can be both unflinchingly erotic and emotionally true. His signature blend of heat, hunger, and heart has earned him a fiercely devoted readership and critical acclaim for reshaping the landscape of queer fiction.

Outside the studio and the page, Griff is a familiar face on renovation shows, an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ spaces in historical preservation, and a sought-after speaker on queer storytelling, masculinity, and desire. He’s known for saying what most won’t—and writing what most wouldn’t dare.

He lives somewhere between a historic farmhouse and a construction site, surrounded by lumber, leather-bound journals, and two rescue dogs who follow him like loyal understudies. When he’s not working, you’ll find him hiking muddy trails, watching noir films, or whispering new storylines into his whiskey glass.

For Griff Holland, everything begins with tension—and ends in transformation.

Whether he’s sketching a cathedral or a kink scene, he’s always building something unforgettable.
