📚🏳️‍🌈 Release Day for The Alphabet Lovers is finally here! In addition to it being the first day of #pride, it's also the birthday of one of my dearest friends, Rick, who passed away last year. Rick and I had a complex relationship but if I were to write the story of my life, he'd have his own act.

I had the pleasure of reading Waterspout by @mrtroyfordauthor.bsky.social. In a sea of MM Romance, it was refreshing to see another author writing about gay life in all its messy, often self-destructive glory. It was real. It was ugly. It was amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
