Playing catch-up before it arrives. Snow Boys was terrific. Now reading Runaway Train which has me well hooked. Runaway Skies is downloaded on Kindle. This is not a Vampire Story is lined up and ready to follow. So envious that this genre has opened up for the younger generation in recent years.

Hi. I'm Simon Doyle. My issues have issues, but I think I'm a nice guy (or so my husband tells me). I write queer YA stories with big feelings, small moments, and best friend energy. Swipe to learn about me and HMU if we have anything in common. I talk to strangers if they're nice. 🌈📚 💙🌈 #author

My first ever fan art from a reader. They tell me it's a "trans masc inspired" version of my character Victor from This Is Not a Vampire Story. (I'd tag the artist but need to see if they're on Bluesky first) #queerart #art #gayart #transart 🌈
