Even after they’ve left us, those we love may still have valuable lessons to teach.
Elaine’s Gift explores invaluable themes of love, loss, and grief. Still reeling from the untimely death of her wife, Elaine, twenty-seven-year-old Kit Barrows is a ghost of herself. But Kit’s fractured life is about to take a turn for the unexpected when she wakes up one morning to discover a mysterious envelope and a notebook sitting on her nightstand, with a note inside—a note addressed to Kit—in Elaine’s handwriting.
As Kit is led on a heartwarming journey of self-discovery and healing, she encounters a homeless veteran on the brink of death, two eccentric old ladies, nine porcelain dolls, a large sum of money, and an anonymous benefactor. As she learns to process her grief, Kit learns that even in death Elaine still has so much to teach her.

This novella is so close to my heart and I'm ecstatic that soon I'll finally be able to share it with you all, alongside my friends at Ninestar Press. Coming soon, stay tuned for more details!
As a first-time author, it has been important to me to share every step of this incredible journey with my writer friends who are also in the trenches with writing, revising, editing, querying and publishing. If you're interested in following along with what's gone down so far, I wrote all about it on my blog:
Delving Into Fiction Part 1: Growing Pains
Delving Into Fiction Part 2: I’m getting published, baby!
Delving Into Fiction Part 3: Querying
Part 4 of this series, on the editing process, will be posted this coming week!

*I received a free review copy in exchange for an honest review of this book. 
SURREALITY is a tantalizing and well-paced horror story about a documentary TV show which blurs the lines between hype and reality when the hosts get over their head in a homicidal urban legend. It’s immersive and excellently told, cultivating a nebulous feeling through meta-conversation about uncertainty between hype and reality. Short, bloody, and creepy, don’t miss SURREALITY.

NSP
I was gonna do a list of queer publishers, but then I saw NSP has a sale and now I'm just gonna ramble about them.
Tumblr media
Back when I was shopping Returning to You around, NSP was on the top of my list. They're a queer-only publisher, and I loved the organization of their website. Look at how the categorize titles!
Look at that! So many categories! And individual titles are also tagged, Ao3 style, with moods and categories and heat levels. I love the simple fact that they did that, you know? I've never seen another small press do that level of categorization. Not even queer ones.

I skip sociology on Wednesday. Do I really even need to go? The class is a mandatory one, something we’re required to take for graduation, but it’s a class in a subject field specifically to give me a well-rounded degree. Sociology isn’t integral to my major, and I can afford to skip it.
But I have to go on Friday. I don’t have a choice, because of the university limit for athletes on scholarships. If I miss too many classes in a given week, month, semester…? There’s no more soccer. And damn if I don’t need that scholarship and my teammates. On Friday, I search for the chair that puts the most distance between Kade and me as possible. I like him, but he’s dangerous. He’s the outlier. I glance at him a few times, but as soon as I see him lift his hand like he might wave, my attention is back on the professor. I hope it sends a clear enough sign: don’t acknowledge me.
There’s nothing against him. He’s fantastic. Every time we’ve had a study group together, there’s just something about him. He’s a great conversationalist, in ways I can’t seem to get over. He hangs around after, too, helps me clean up snacks and empty water bottles, talks to me and makes me feel… I don’t know, important? Like I’m more than just a study group host, but a person. A person who matters. And he actually bothers to do the group work, not like most of the other people in groups. It’s like he genuinely cares about things, about class and about making an effort, hell, about me as a person.
I keep reminding myself this isn’t about him, even when it’s definitely about him. I just can’t afford the distraction right now. I have a degree to finish. I have a father to make proud. I have a soccer scholarship to make good on. Those are the things people expect of me. Those are the things I expect of me. I’m determined to do what I have to. No distractions, no variations, no outliers like Kade.
Outliers lead to danger.
And unlike Simba, I don’t laugh in the face of danger. I cower. And as conscious as I am of my decision to cower this time, I still feel justified.

Find out what happens next. Buy Getting Off at most major online retailers.
Getting Off contains a scene featuring sexual assault to a main character. Additionally, there is biphobia from within the LGBTQ+ community which is addressed in the text and corrected, scenes depicting blackmail, an attempt at forced outing, homophobia from a parent, “locker room talk” and misogyny, and homophobia from a teammate. There are also two scenes of physical violence including fistfighting, and some scenes of underage alcohol consumption among college students. While I have aimed to make these as tasteful, respectful, and carefully crafted as possible, I do want to ensure that readers know these elements of the story. Additionally, (healthy) depictions of therapy are included in this text, which may be uncomfortable for some readers with prior poor experiences with therapy.

So, I'm proud/happy/terrified/insane to announce that at some point in the not-too-distant future, NineStar Press will be publishing my ~debut novel~, "Heart First". "Heart First" is a m/m romance novel entwined with a cozy mystery set in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
In it, Daniel Rosenbaum, professor and chronic overthinker, falls hard and fast for mechanic Tony D'Angelo. When tragedy strikes and a close friend and fellow professor of Daniel's is murdered, Daniel’s intensifying relationship with Tony is the only way he can find solace from his grief and confusion. But all too soon, the trail of a dead man’s secrets leads Daniel to the same place he’s been seeking comfort: Angel Automotive, the auto repair shop run by Tony’s family. Will following his heart lead Daniel straight into the arms of a killer?
As a little thank you to everyone who's followed me on here and given me courage to pursue writing, here's a little sneak peek of Daniel and Tony:
“Sorry, I’m Tony,” Tony says. “I should probably have led with that.”
Daniel grins. “Hi Tony,” he says. “I’m Daniel, and I’m having trouble with my car.”
“Well, you’re in luck,” Tony says. “I happen to be a mechanic.”
“Wow, what are the odds?”
Tony shrugs and gestures to the rows of different-size chains hanging on the wall. “You walk into a set-up like this, it’s an even split: mechanic or sex worker.”
It shocks a laugh out of Daniel. He gets the impression he does not need to worry about homophobia here if Tony’s using respectful language, which is kind of a relief.
“So what’s wrong with your car?”
Daniel winces. “It’s been making this weird noise all morning? Like a kind of irregular clunking?”
“All the time or just when you go over a bump?”
“Um.” Daniel considers. The roads are pretty shitty between Rhinebeck and Lobell College anyways. He didn’t hear it much on the better-paved way into Kingston, but he was also focused on finding the garage and wasn’t really paying attention.
“Your muffler might be loose,” Tony tells him.
“Okay,” Daniel says slowly. “And that’s…bad?”
Tony blinks. “Not a car guy, huh?”
“No,” Daniel says quickly. “Computers guy. Classic literature guy. Fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer guy. Very much not a car guy.” A frown line draws tight on Tony’s forehead. “That’s a really bad season,” he says, which, okay, no one’s perfect.

My new m/m romance The Naked Dancer out 12.19.23! Available from NineStar Press, Amazon, and most booksellers.
Blurb:
“I want you to paint my naked body.”
A strange proposal made early one morning sparks the artistic collaboration of a lifetime.
Morgan barely makes it through each day, weighed down by depression and loss. He’s a well-respected artist, but he hasn’t stepped into his studio in months. He’s become more acquainted with the feel of his bathrobe than his paintbrush.
Lu knows depression well. He still struggles with it three years after a disastrous performance ended his long-term relationship and his illustrious dance career. He and Morgan are battling different versions of the same demon.
Lu decides to vent his pain and his past through a naked dance, and he asks Morgan to paint his bare skin for the performance. New love can’t cure depression. But when two intensely artistic men unite to make something unprecedented, it sparks creativity and passion and hope—things neither man has felt in a while.
After months of driving through the oppressive night, the sun is finally peeking over the horizon for Lu and Morgan. And it all starts with a dance.
