When Ben Loved Tim is here and about to rock your world. This full-length novel returns to Ben’s time in high school, when his lonely heart felt a spark of hope the night a boy in blue shoes jogged past him. But wait, haven’t I already told that story? Not like this. The new book...
Pride High is now available on audio. The first book of my new series has already gotten a slew of good reviews. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do so. The series focuses on a group of queer teenagers, and in my usual style, we’ll watch them blossom into adults while they try...
Nineteen years ago today, I married my husband. Had we never met, I doubt there would be any Jay Bell books. Or if so, they wouldn’t be the same. Tim wouldn’t be a handsome artist, Jace wouldn’t be an amazingly kind cat dad, and getting a little closer to home, Ben wouldn’t love with as...

Boy, that was one long cold season! I spent most of the winter bundled up inside, but I was far from idle. Here’s a summary of what I’ve been up to: I released a new short story called The Boy at the Bottom of the Fountain. Like so many of my stories, it deals with...
