Why choose between hockey or cowboy romance when you can have both? 😉

One-Touch Pass is available now for pre-order, and is the fourth book in the SCU Hockey series. Coming July 2025! 🤎

Crawling out of the writing cave to provide some WIP vibes 🕯️ really hoping this story works because I, in classic JJ fashion, have fallen hopelessly in love with the MCs 😮‍💨

We’re only 15 days away from the release of Make the Play and it’s time we get to know a little more about Jason King.

Jason is a BIG boy with a big personality a big reputation, but the biggest thing about him? His heart 💚

One of my favourite things about @jjmulder.bsky.social books (and there are MANY things I love about them) is the range of ace rep. They along with others, helped me figure out my own ace identity and for that I’ll be forever grateful. And adding two more next year? Bring it on! 🖤🩶🤍💜
jjmulder.bsky.social JJ Mulder @jjmulder.bsky.social · Apr 6
Ace spec characters hold a special place for me 🖤🩶💜 next year, we’ll be seeing two additional faces added to this lineup 🥰 #mmromance #queerbooksky #booksky

This week’s #saturdark prompt is “moon”.

“Deception is survival. People are meant to be manipulated. Hoping is foolish. And above all else, Love is a weakness.”

Or at least that’s how Alek sees it.

Many thanks to @morgandante.bsky.social for hosting & @whosthistyler.bsky.social for creating it.
Man playing at piano with musical notes overlaid. Text says: Never Leave, Never Lie | Thea Verdone Quote: Alek slammed his hands down on the keys, and the sound was so loud and ugly, it was like a car crash, a building collapse, a gunshot echoing in an empty room. Ian’s arms surrounded him, but when Alek closed his eyes and inhaled salt and cedar, no forests grew. His mind was a black hole, darker than a moonless, starless, dead-of-winter, night sky.

Image of the book cover for Ourselves and Immortality by Logan Sage Adams, which features two men in Edwardian era suits seated on a bench holding hands and looking into the camera for a portrait. Surrounding the image are arrows with various tropes and story or character elements surrounding it, which are as follows: cheeky con man and shy mortician, side rep, found family, Edwardian era, forced proximity, autistic-coded MC, and grief and loss. At the top, it says now live.

Interested in an Edwardian era romance between a shy mortician and a cheeky con man? Ourselves and Immortality comes out on March 13th! Check out what reviewers are saying! preorder now: books2read.com/ourselves-an... #mmhistoricalromance #historicalromance #🌈📚
Graphic showing snippets of book reviews. At the top it says "What Reviewers Are Saying" and underneath are three review quotes. The fist says "Once again, I'm awed at Logan's writing." The second says "Logan's historical queer romances truly feel like a window back in time, and a labor of love laid out for readers." The last says "I could gush about this book for days, but I'll leave it with plan for witty innuendos, emotionally charged grief, and the knowledge that they all find their perfect place in the world."

This week’s #saturdark prompt is “dream” and this snippet from Ian’s opening chapter in Never Leave, Never Lie is one of my favorites.

Many thanks to @mdantesinferno for hosting #saturdark and @whosthistyler for creating it.
A photo of a crumbling gothic mansion covered in purple speckles I'm pretending looks like wisteria. Text box overlay says: Ian never should have invested all his money into rehabbing the mansion with a business partner as mercurial and impulsive as Alek. ‘We could even cut costs and move in together,’ Alek had said. ‘This house will be our opus.’ Now the Victorian felt cursed, like the beginning of a horror movie where an unsuspecting couple buys their dream home, only for their lives to be ruined in the process.
