It was a good run. Sad to see it go. #lateshow #colbert #freespeech #goodbye

Anyone that knows me knows the horror I felt when this book arrived anonymously at my house. Then I opened it… Now I just have to figure out which of my asshole friends sent it to me. #funny #humor #horror #books #friends

If you write you know. IYWYK? #writers #authors #booksky #relatable

I love it when cool songs I discover make it to the radio. #selfaware #tempercity #music

I find it hilarious that people will spend hours death scrolling social media clicking like on anti-data center and anti-AI posts. Just sayin.

Find that one person that thinks you’re weird but will still eat the icky ones. I only eat the red, green and blue ones. He eats the icky brown, yellow and orange ones. Know which book I wrote this into? #couples #gay #mmromance #author #weido #booksky

OMG! Look at that sass in my hips. Do I really walk like that? #author #observation #sd #flipflops #readmybooks

I wrote this bad boy and just got my copy. It’d be crazy helpful if a few hundred thousand of you would buy one too. That’s all. Thank you. ❤️ #booksky #newbooks #paranormal #mmromance

With great power comes great responsibility… that is the thesis statement for this genre-bending new novel. Thought Provoking, Heart Warming. Hilarious. A little Bad Sometimes is now out. #booksky #mmromance #paranormal #newbooks #thinkers #morality #ethics #power

Tom Steyer… the billionaire that cares for the little guy. How many times have you fallen for this? Wake up California. #governor #california #elections

What do you do when you wake up on a Hawaii beach with a hottie you barely know and discover you both have supernatural powers? You fall in love—and you change the world. My first paranormal MM romance novel is now in the final pre-publication stages. #booksky www.sdblake.com/2026/04/its-...

I found an abandoned, busted up finless surfboard on my run this morning. Only in #sandiego right? I’m going to paint “CALLUM’S BOOK SHOP + OTHER COOL SHIT” on it. It’s from my book Colliding Spirits #booksky #authors www.amazon.com/Colliding-Sp...

So I’m a dude… am I at the right place? I just need to piss…

Tuesday

It’s here—so pretty and blue. I would read it if I were you. 📚🏳️‍🌈❤️ #mmromance #gayauthors #gaynovels #gaysurfers #socal #booksky #sandiego #newbooks

Callum embodied everything Brody loathed about SoCal. So why can’t he get him out of his head? Colliding Spirits is available now. #booksky #mmromance #gayawakening #hea #lovestory #newbooks #grumpysunshine www.amazon.com/dp/B0GR5J8SS...

The Shape of a Blake Howell Romance You spend more time inside a character’s emotional temperature than on exterior mechanics. Even in big moments, weddings, fights, sex, confrontations, the camera keeps drifting back to heartbeats, doubts, relief, devotion. www.sdblake.com/2026/02/the-...

I don’t have a gay hockey book. But I do get to have this as my view for my daily runs. I also exclusively write San Diego based MM Romance novels. You should read them. #booksky #authors #sandiego #mmromance #gay #queerbooks #gaybooks

Laguna Shores claims two more. Colliding Spirits releases in March! www.queervibespress.com/featured-books #mmromance #booksky #newbooks #sandiegocounty #socal #gaybooks #surfingbooks #authors

One cool thing about being a runner and walker in a city is the cool new things you can discover like this near Ninth and E #newbookstore #bookstore #downtown #sandiego

I’m currently between projects while I sketch my next books and beta readers get through my current one. I finally started this from my TBR and am enjoying it. #booksky #mmromance #reading #writing #author #tbr

Don’t read my books. They’re just liberal California propaganda. Don’t do it! www.amazon.com/stores/Blake... #booksky #authors #mmromance #california #liberal

These days I hear the most outrageous things and question if we’re still living in reality #trumprx

Well hello. They say writing is lonely, but I have friends to keep me company. #sandiego #downtown #seagull #writing #sandiegoliving #authors

Porn stars deserve love too. In Boys of 221 Sunset, adult content creators find love, belonging, and chosen family inside a San Diego mansion. www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2G65TB... #booksky #mmromance #gayromance #pornstars #foundfamily #spicybooks #sweetbooks #goodreads #gaybooks

One new book, four new covers, three updated books including the Second Edition of Enigmatic Boys. www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2G65TB...

queervibespress.com has been updated with all of my books

When my friend texted me this picture, I couldn’t help but ask her why there was a giant vagina on the ceiling 😂

Happy to announce the latest book in my Boys of 221 Sunset Series. www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2G65TB... #mmromance #newbooks #booksky #gay #bookseries

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’m involved in team beta reads and final edits for Complicated Boys (Coming Soon), as well as my second edition edits for Enigmatic Boys, the first book of this series

At the end of the day, this isn’t about winning arguments online. It’s about encouraging curiosity instead of certainty. Read what makes you happy. Seek out stories from writers of all genders. Some of the most moving journeys... www.sdblake.com/2026/01/who-... #mmromance #booksky #queerlove #gay

Who's coming to the cottage? One of the things I’m going to miss most about Heated Rivalry isn’t just the show itself, but the community that sprang up around it... www.sdblake.com/2025/12/whos... #heatedrivalry #queerlove #loveislove #mmromance

I’ve had my new iPhone 17 Pro a whole day now and I haven’t skipped it across a sidewalk even once! BTW, Merry Christmas everyone!

For LGBTQ+ viewers, seeing this kind of romance presented confidently and unapologetically on a major platform matters. It reinforces the idea that queer love doesn’t need to be softened, explained. www.sdblake.com/2025/12/why-... #mmromance #heatedrivalry #booksky #authorsky #readersky

These foggy December morning runs lately hit different.

Foot play, for me, is often a shorthand for closeness— vulnerable, unguarded, and something many same-sex couples experience in small, unspoken ways. It’s a detail that feels honest. My goal is always authenticity: real men, real desire, real connection. www.sdblake.com/2025/12/lets... #mmromance

Jude and Landon had been inseparable since childhood. Everyone viewed them as inevitable, their families, their friends, their own boyfriends. But nobody knew how terrified these two were of fucking up what meant more to them than anything else—their friendship. www.amazon.com/Inevitable-U...

Every gay boy had that one friend who meant everything. For Jude and Landon, that bond never faded—it only grew into something neither expected. Paperback now available. #MMRomance #FriendsToLovers #QueerFiction #SlowBurn www.queervibespress.com/standalone-b...

Yesterday, we did our annual ice skate by the beach at the Hotel del Coronado. As we stepped onto the ice, I couldn’t help thinking that it had been a full year since this holiday tradition inspired my very first MM romance novel... www.sdblake.com/2025/11/grat... #mmromance #booksky #thanksgiving

Help! I think my perma-scowl is broken, people keep talking to me when I go outside.

Here I am enjoying lunch at the start of my hubbies birthday weekend. Back to writing this afternoon (working on Complicated Boys in the 221 Sunset series) #author #mmromance #booksky

Just sharing a happy flower for you 😉👍🏻🤗

It really drove home how much reach hateful words still have. They ripple outward, infecting conversations and censoring truth. So remember that next time someone hurls a slur or tells you Charlie Kirk’s a good guy. www.sdblake.com/2025/11/the-...

I got my second edition copy today!! #author #booksky #mmromance

The holiday season is here! So here is a picture of me and my hubby from last December. I hope you all have a fabulous season! www.sdblake.com/2025/11/look... #authors #holidays #mmromance #booksky

When I saw theses nutcrackers I knew I had to have them. 🎄🎁 🤗
