All Michael wants to do this summer is come out as trans, get laid, and exorcise the ghosts haunting him.
When trying to get laid goes horribly wrong and he is saved by a self-proclaimed Witch, the job the Witch offers him might just help him achieve his other goals.

Hi, I’m Benjamin and I write lgbtq+ for both adult and YA. I’m a big fan of found family, midwestern gothic, characters that might be the literal devil, and genre blending.

I’m currently prepping my YA debut query.
