Had a reader mention they had a shared experience with characters from One Chance to Stay. Simple statement about the challenges of coming out. That touched my heart. I see you. Welcome to the club. #bears #gaysky

I send this face to anybody who needs a kick in the ass. Today when I told somebody I wasn't in the mood to do my job, they sent it back. Touché. Well, played. #bears #gay #mmromance

In case nobody told you today, you’re beyond awesome. You’re so awesome Keanue Reeves looks up to you. #bears #gaysky

Okay bears... who are your favorite artists in the community? I'm going to be hunting for art and I want to see bears who illustrate bears! #gay #bears

So now we know what' I'd look like as a vampire. There goes that pipe dream! #bear #gay

In a city overrun with superheroes, four gay men want to find love… and supercharged ass. Lighthearted romance with more than a little steam. amzn.to/46sMSfr #gay #booksky #bears #mmromance

I always wonder if readers are aware of what being a writer is like outside the actual writing? Am I over here drowning in spreadsheets looking at data analytics to help decide the next project I work on? Yes. Am I happy doing it? Oh yeah. Data and smut. My two weaknesses. #mmromance #romance 💙📚

I've had a bunch of new followers (probably thanks to some spicy fuzzy photos.) I don't generally follow strangers... so say hi and we can be strange together. Hi! I'm Ryder... I write bear smut. #bearsky #bears

I want to take photos to mark me entering royalty as the "King of Bear Romance." I need ideas... of course they should be outlandish, slightly odd, and super awkward for everybody. Now... I need to brainstorm... will there be a crown? Quite possibly. #gayromance #mmromance #bearsky

I celebrated my birthday with friends, cake, and bad horror movies. It also happened to line up with a book launch. This time, that meant seeing so many handsome bears (in the buff) supporting my book. Truly, a birthday unlike any other. Thank you for making it memorable! #bears #bearsky #gaysky

Had so many sexy bears stripping to support One Chance to Stay. This is hands down the best book launch of my career, and all it took was a daily dose of penis! 🤤🤤🤤 #mmromance #romancelandia #bearsky #bears #gaysky

So what you're telling me is, all I have to do is read a book and a stud will show up and service me? In that case, I have a shelf of books waiting to be read! #bears #gaysky #bearsky

You mean he’s naked, hot, literate, AND has a wall of Gundam statues? And they said perfection doesn’t exist… now read to me! #bearsky #bears #gaysky

Everybody wants a shelf for their books… well if my shelf looked like this I’m not sure how much reading I’d get done! But damn I’d certainly try. #bearsky #bears #gaysky

If you need me to uhm… hold the book for you… I’ll suffer my way through. 😇😈 #bearsky #bear #gaysky

Thomas is proving that reading should be a naked activity. *Takes off clothes* What are you doing? Oh, going to read for a little. Sir, this is an Uber. And...? #bears #bearsky

*fans self* It's like @indycub9.bsky.social fell right out of Firefly. If he were one of the nudist hikers, I'd gladly scale that mountain :) #bearsky #bears

Die neueste Veröffentlichung vom König der Bärenromantik. Zwei kräftige Männer, beide verloren – und der einzige Weg nach vorn ist, ein Geheimnis zu gestehen. Slow Burn. Wenig Drama. Große Gefühle. Erhältlich auf Amazon oder auf meiner Website. www.amazon.de/dp/B0F3V93WWL

What chapter could that possibly be? As far as I'm concerned, mesh should be added to the list of formal wear. Bellies should never be hidden, but sometimes you need a little modesty? Mesh does that... right?

Bubba, the bear community appreciates your nudist reading habits. Could this become a trend? A movement? "Books not Briefs!" #gaysky #bearsky #bears

The newest release from the King of Bear Romance (oh, yeah, that title feels good.) Two burly men, both lost, and the only way forward is to confess a secret. Slow burn. Low angst. Big feels. Available on Amazon or my website. www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3VB889Q #mmromance #gaysky #bearsky #gayromance

Tomorrow is the big day! Big burl bears with all the feels. Chatty bartender meets grumpy recluse in this small town romance. Can't wait for everybody to read "the" scene. AAAHHHHH!!!! #mmromance #gayromance #booksky #gaysky #bearsky

Did I just buy some vodka and blueberry syrup to celebrate at the Burly Bash? Why yes I did. Celebrating the new release is going to be a party! www.patreon.com/ryderomalley #mmromance #gayromance #mlmromance #bearsky

I will repost this every time I receive a review referencing "They didn't use a condom. That ruined the scene." Guess what chickie, my sex life isn't yours to dictate. Check your prejudices at the door.

I wanted to do something weird for the release of One Chance to Stay. Instead of a "book launch" we're going to have a party celebrating... well... us. Firefly Valley is all about unhinged good times. Come join us on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/septem... #mmromance #gayromance #bearsky #gaysky

Is it cocky to refer to myself the King of Bear Romance? The Bear King? I hope so… cause I’m feeling plenty cocky. 😇😈 #mmromance #gayromance

I am stoked sending out packages to my hype squad. Got to include some beautiful artwork from @maxxfergus.bsky.social and even found a cute leather bookmark for them! This release is going to be a ride filled with daddy bear energy. amzn.to/3TIl5jH #gaybear #bearsky #gaysky #mmromance #romance

There are few things more intimate and trusting than allowing a man at your neck with a straight-edge razor. Also few things that rewarding. After finals and a book launch... I'm starting to feel human again. #bearsky #gaysky #bears

Prepping some books about sexy bears for sexy bears. I’m calling in the animal kingdom for the next release. It’s going to get scandalous! 😈 #bearsky #gaysky #mmromance

I have a stack of One Chance to Stay on my desk with the handsomest bears on the cover. I have swag (naughty & nice) and so much packing to do. This is going to be a release unlike any I've done before. I can't wait for the crazy that will be September. #mmromance #gaysky #bearsky #romance

Woooo… trivia night loving!!

Introduced the first chapter of More Chances to Stay (open to the public.) I feel this is going to be a bit of a grump/grump story. But any reason to be big tattoo'd bears to this quaint small town! www.patreon.com/posts/more-c... #mmromance #gayromance #bearsky #gaysky #romance

Another cover for @authorryderomalley.com's Grunts of Vanguard Series. Office Romance. Superheroes. A whole lot of snark. Oh, and somewhere in there they save the world. #bookcover #newrelease #bookcoverdesign #coverreveal #mmromance #romance #amwriting #indieauthor

Did I forget to mention Seductive Architect comes out next week? Conspiracy theories. Sentient AI. An office assistant determined to get naked photos of her employees. Oh yeah, and a cute romance with themes of self acceptance! amzn.to/4meQWoT #bearsky #gaysky #mmromance #gayromance #scifiromance

I'm sure everybody writing gay romance has had to research the origins of Paul Bunyan. That's normal, right? I mean, he IS a bear of a man... so it feels natural. #mmromance #amwriting

Damn. Think they’ll let me grab a book wiggle in the middle? This is how I want all my readers enjoying my books! Clothing optional book groups need to be a thing! #bearsky #gaysky #mmromance #romancebooks

I had the opportunity to be on the "Wish I Knew Then" podcast. We talked about reaching success and how it can be a crippling part of an author's journey. It's something I don't think is discussed enough in the author world. wishidknownforwriters.com/276-2/ #indieauthors #writingcommunity

My readers have named my new travel companion. He'll be documenting my nomad adventures. He's a bed hog, loves cupcakes, and has an affinity for the Food Network. Meet Sammy B. Knuckles. #mmauthor #digitalnomad #sammyknuckles #writingcommunity #indieauthor

First real log in the Digital Nomad Adventures. Trying to document as I go. So many photos of the Blue Ridge Mountains and my new travel companion! www.patreon.com/posts/elsewh... #digitalnomad #writingcommunity #mmauthor #indieauthor

Tiny House Hunting… you have two teenage boys and no doors on that loft. You best hope you have plenty of hot water and a snake for that drain. Just saying… you’re about to be a VERY intimate family! 🍆💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦 😏

THE END *phew* Wait... you mean I still have to work on the other project? I'm not done? This is so not fair...

I am determined to write, "The End" in this manuscript today. *Deep Breath* Challenge accepted. This superhero romance is going to end in a sweaty mess.... the characters, not me. Well... me too. 🥵🫣😇 💙📚 #mmauthor #romance #gayromance #gaysky
