This offer now includes our newly listed preorders for our upcoming trans romance novella: Summer Nights, Cigarettes & Spearmint Toothpaste
Note: This is not a YA novella; however, it is suitable for older teens. 15+
As children, Adrian and Cyrus spent every summer together, forming a deep bond while Cyrus visited family in Scotland. But just as they were on the verge of childhood friendship blooming into something more, closely guarded secrets, teenage angst, and family drama drove them apart.
Now adults, Adrian is living in the US, trying to build a life for himself in Cyrusβs hometown. Heβs not looking to reunite with his old friend, but when they inevitably run into each other, Adrian canβt help but be hopeful. Thereβs just one problem: Cyrus has no idea who Adrian is.
As Adrian and Cyrus grow close once more, will their new relationship survive Adrianβs decision not to reveal his identity? Or will the mask he clings on to destroy their chance to truly know β and love β each other, for good?
A tale of trans romance, Summer Nights, Cigarettes & Spearmint Toothpaste is a tender friends-to-lovers story told over multiple childhood summers and one unexpected, complicated reunion.

You can tune into my talk this afternoon - at 5pm as part of the Romancing the Gothic charity learn-a-thon, I'm presenting a basic primer to engaging with clothing and style in gothic cinema: BUTTONED UP TIGHT: GOTHIC THEMES IN COSTUME DESIGN!
My current bit of promo is my most recent publication with @acoupofowls: Light Paths, wherein I present a novella fixated largely on my other passion in life... food!
A story that made us hungry in multiple ways!
π€€
Do you enjoy the works of @johannestevans @cinnamaldeide , Leigh V Twersky, Clinton Seiter, TT Madden and Amanda M Blake?
We sure do! In fact we've published them in our two recent novelette collections!
Shop: acoupofowls.square.site/s/shop
It took its time, what with border controls and local postal service, but I finally received my author copies of Light Paths, the wonderful project I took part of as writer for @acoupofowls
Some of you may be familiar with Underneath the unblemished mask and still think fondly of it after three years since I posted it on Ao3, and some of you may be happy to know it has been included in this collection of queer fantasy romance with a little incipit for those unfamiliar with the original fandom.
This was a long process, it involved massive commitment and patience and I'll never fully express my gratitude to @maxturnerwrites and his amazing team for their perseverance and generosity, but the print is available now if you're interested in owning a physical copy to keep on your shelf or read during Ao3 maintenance panic :)
We're always happy to work with scrubbed fanfic! Definitely encourage people to check out this new version of the story and enjoy it afresh!
