Goodnight. Be gentle.

Heyyyyyyy, it's party time!

Second Nature has been so hard for me to describe with any sort of brevity, but I just finished another reread and I love it so much!! Darren & Jake's love story comes out October 16th... Pre-order: books2read.com/SecondNatureT2 Read book one: books2read.com/TakeItOutsideT1 #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

“You know I’m not looking for the love of my life.” “None of the men who fuck me are.” Second Nature is Darren and Jake's not-looking-for-the-love-of-my-life love story, out Oct 16th! Pre-order: books2read.com/SecondNatureT2 Read book one: books2read.com/TakeItOutsideT1 #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

“A cut on my thigh was never meant to be bait.” The low sound Darren makes is somewhere between a laugh and a growl, and despite a thousand reasons not to, I’m watching his mouth too closely when he speaks. “I’m not that hungry, Jake. I don’t bite unless I want to.” #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

The kids got invited to a last minute birthday party last night, so my wife and I snuck off for an early anniversary dinner. A bottle of wine and exceptionally yummy food (and time alone with my wife!!) was exactly what the doctor ordered. 🍷🥰

Darren and Jake have been friends for years, but why stop at flirtatious banter? Neither wants to fall in love, but sex is fun. It'll be fine... Second Nature will be here October 16th! Pre-order: books2read.com/SecondNatureT2 Read book one: books2read.com/TakeItOutsideT1 #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

"We’re not looking for love, and I wouldn’t know how to find it anyway, but I want this. I want to be your friend. I want us to fuck. And while nothing more than this can happen tonight, some other time, if neither of us wants to stop, we don’t have to.” #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

Ah, well, it'll be a while before I get there, but there's a very angsty masturbation scene I'm excited about. One holding the other's hand without watching. Hearing everything. The yearning, the waiting, the love that's been there all along...

🍷🍨 COVER REVEAL 🍨🍷 Welcome back to Trailhead, where shirtless bartenders banter with ex-lovers and longtime friends, and the bar's weekly trivia night makes two men question everything. Friends with benefits / age gap / unapologetic slut + stoic widower. And so much FUN! #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

Cover reveal (and more) coming SOON! Second Nature is book two of my Trailhead series, and I can't wait for you to get to know Darren and Jake so much better. One of them is on the cover, and the other is on his bike. If all goes well, they'll both take you for a ride 😘 #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

No, I don't have a Second Nature release date yet! But I do have this (un)official playlist for you. Are you picking up any vibes/themes? Do you see any favorites? 🎧 Darren and Jake's love story is coming this fall... #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

Drop line 8 from page 187 of your MS. Tag 3 #writers 𝘐 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘙𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘺. (From Second Nature, Trailhead Book Two) @authorryderomalley.com @rmneillauthor.bsky.social @tlmatson.bsky.social

Coming this fall! An arrogant, unapologetically slutty bartender + the stoic, successful widower he's been serving for 8 years + trivia night = the chance to finally become better friends. But why stop there? Sex is fun too, and as long as neither wants a relationship... #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

Just a little reminder.❤️

Admittedly, I'm actively working on a book featuring a former NHL superstar (out next year?), and I have plans for another one about former college hockey teammates who are now married and dealing with messy things. Sooooo, I suppose I'm just tiptoeing around hockey romance? #amwriting

I won't write hockey romance I won't write hockey romance I won't write hockey romance I won't write hockey romance *sees today's trade news* I...won't...write hockey romance? #amwriting (or not writing!)

Happy ONE YEAR to my debut novel, Margins!! 🎉 This is a love story within a love story, and as one reader said, it "perfectly captures the rush of new love and the pain of old secrets and how both can ripple far beyond us." (Fall in love. Bring tissues.) mybook.to/margins #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

Margins is a tender, sexy, melancholic story about learning how (and sometimes failing) to love from the middle of the page. Happy Father's Day to Alex...and James and Peter and... mybook.to/margins #booksky #mmromance 💙📚🌶️

Ahhhh! The first draft of book two is already longer than the first draft of book one, and I'm still not done. It was just supposed to be a harmless little FWB story, I swear!! #amwriting #mmromance

Resist!

✨TITLE REVEAL FOR BOOK 1 OF MY 1970s ROCKSTAR WIP!✨ I hope y'all are ready for SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES! 🎤🎸 A few days ago, I finished writing the manuscript for book 1, clocking in at about 96k words!! I can't wait for you all to read Ray and Gene's story 💕✨

I was given a little fanfic prompt. Wrote a fic in which someone else's characters visited a gay country bar. Created an OC in the gay country bar. Started to write a longer fic with that OC/a borrowed character. Decided to spin it into a 5-book series instead. #LGBTQWriteAThon #booksky #mmromance

On my way to Queers and Quills with my wife and best friend! I can't believe I get to meet some absolute favorites this weekend!! 💜💜💜

Because I was taking a pic of something else today and I don't think I ever posted these?? My beta/bff sent me this homemade card to congratulate me when I released Take It Outside. And yes, she made a tiny book for the pocket of Beau's flannel! 😍 (Also, she's flying here from the UK in 6 days!?)

1970s Rockstar WIP: What if Daisy Jones & the Six was queer and had ✨MEN KISSING✨??

This is gorgeous, @authorryderomalley.com 🥰 Thank you for letting me play in your sandbox (or sky?)!!

I will never tell my brain to stop feeding me book ideas, new characters, and random sentences. I *might* suggest that it finish up what we're working on now.

Adrian's a sexy photographer fighting his way past years of guilt and grief. Beau's doing his best to stay away from the man he started falling for a while ago. Pictures get taken in the dark. Friendship becomes more. And loss becomes something they learn to honor together. mybook.to/TakeItOutside

Almost 2 yrs ago, I devoured books 1-5 by a Palm Springs pool while on vacation with my wife. I haven't shut up about the series since. One word in one missing moment broke me and healed me. My feelings about saying goodbye are complicated, so maybe I'll just start all over again. Thank you 💔❤️
