Anniversary Celebration. It’s prize time!

May 13th, 2015 | Random

I’m ten years old! At least, Jay Bell the author is. Kind of. I actually started writing seriously in 2003 when I first moved to Germany. I think. The metadata of my earliest Word document claims I didn’t start until 2004, which might also be true. It’s confusing because there was a book and half,...

Something Like Summer in Chinese!

May 6th, 2015 | Books, Something Like Summer

How’s your Chinese? Whatever you answered, I promise you that mine is worse. That’s a shame, considering that Mandarin is the world’s most prominent language. That’s why I’m thrilled and flattered that some very dedicated individuals teamed up to translate Something Like Summer into Chinese! I love the idea of this story and the characters...

Cover reveal! Something Like rumble rumble Thunder!

April 23rd, 2015 | Art, Something Like Thunder, Storms Series

It’s time for a new cover reveal! But first I want to thank you guys. In my previous post, I asked how you first discovered my books. I was hoping for cold hard marketing data and I got it. What I didn’t expect were the many heartfelt messages about how much the books and characters...

Remember when we first met? Let’s get nostalgic!

April 8th, 2015 | Random

There’s a wonderfully romantic notion that what authors do all day is write. That’s how it should be, and I like to think the world once spun that way, but not anymore. Much of my day is dealing with stuff. I’ll spare you the boring details, but essentially I need my books to get noticed,...

Preorder your copy of Thunder!

March 22nd, 2015 | Books, Something Like Thunder, Storms Series

[caption id="attachment_4211" align="alignright" width="147"] Andreas had nothing to do with this crappy cover. He's still working on the real deal.[/caption]Rumble rumble rumble. That’s supposed to be the sound of thunder. Or is it my stomach grumbling? Maybe it’s both, like I’m standing in the middle of a thunder storm while feeling really hungry. Sad story,...

Spring is here to pleasure thine ears!

March 19th, 2015 | Seasons Series, Something Like Spring

When's the last time someone pleasured your ears? Hmmm? If it's been too long (or even if it hasn't) Something Like Spring is now available on audio! For those who don’t read the books as they come out, Spring is about a guy named Jason Grant. We haven’t met him in the previous three books,...

Fifteen Years of Jay and Andreas

March 1st, 2015 | Gay

Fifteen years ago, at a time when I had officially given up on love (yeah, I've been there too), I spotted a handsome guy across the room and practically tripped over myself to reach him. I'm proud to say that since then little has changed, aside from me being more eager than ever to get...

Something Like Fall FAQ

January 24th, 2015 | Something Like Fall

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Something Like Fall, so I thought it might be helpful to repost this FAQ here and update it with a few new answers. I’ve also been hearing from people who wish they could have contributed but missed out. Well it just so happens that movies are...
