When a young man is swept back in time to the 1950s, he has to decide if he wants to return home or stay with the special guy he falls in love with while there. That’s the plot of my newest release, Out of Time, Into You, but I suspect you’re more interested to learn...
We're about to enter the craziest time of the year when many of us will be emptying our pocketbooks to buy gifts for the people we love. But what about you, my dear reader? You deserve nice things too! Don't fret, I've got you covered. I plan to end 2021 in style. If you sign...
Summer is officially here, and that means more Something Like Summer! We’ve got a second volume of comics out today, but you know what’s cooler than picking up the new graphic novel? How about getting an exclusive Something Like... mini-story too? I wrote Something Like Marriage as a sneaky bonus for my Kickstarter supporters. It’s...
Please take a moment to enjoy the beautiful cover art above that Cassy Fallon worked so hard on. Then rejoice, because we’re ready to print another Something Like Summer graphic novel! Volume Two: Autumn will collect over 100 pages of comics, telling the story of how Ben met Jace before delving into the past so...
The audiobook of Kamikaze Boys is here, and I'm beyond excited to share it with you. The narrator, Kirt Graves, did an amazing job on Straight Boy, and I was eager to work with him again. I'm extremely pleased with the result. Especially the added color he added to the narration. Those who have read...

So I felt especially relieved, five years ago,...
Something Like Stories: Volume Three is out today, marking the end of the series. I’ve made that claim before, and at the time, I meant it. I was sad about the decision too, mostly because I knew I would never see Ben, Tim, Jace and everyone else again. I still get to write about them...
Very soon I will be pulling the entire Something Like… series from all retailers except for Amazon. I do so with mixed feelings. The way we consume media has changed drastically over the past decade. Most of us have discovered the irresistible convenience of subscription-based services. For one flat price (usually around ten bucks) we...
Earlier in the year, I decided to do some heavy rewrites on Kamikaze Boys. That seems a little crazy in retrospect, because the original version had always been received well. The reviews were good and it’s the only book of mine to win a Lambda Literary award. So if it’s not broke, why fix it?...
I have a new novella out today, and despite the shorter length, it manages to deliver all the elements you would expect from a Jay Bell story. A heart is divided, a former flame returns from the past, and unexpected connections are revealed. Laughs, sighs, and maybe a tear or two are also included. I’ll...
