Happy Pride Month 2025
Hey everyone! Happy Pride Month!! I have a few updates to share with you during this beautiful celebration. There’s some book news and an important note about my own identity. I’m celebrating Pride Month at work with my employee resource group. How are you celebrating your identity this month? However you celebrate, please be safe!

My Identity
I believe that identity is evolving. It is not set in stone and can change as time goes by and additional exploration is done. That being said, for me, being nonbinary was always a stopgap between who I was and I have always been inside. Over the past ten years, I have not fully explored this part of my identity, instead choosing to be nonbinary because it was easiest at the time. (I say that, but there are still people in my life who do not address me by they/them pronouns.) I am here today to tell you that I am transitioning into the next chapter of my life. I will be using he/him pronouns and identify as male from here forward. Ever wonder why I almost exclusively write gay stories? Well, this is why! I hope you are able to take some time this month and consider your own identity and live authentically you.
As a note, my first five books will continue to refer to me as nonbinary and they/them due to the fees and process that would be required to update the interior files. Going forward, however, my appropriate pronouns will be included.
Faceless Out Now
That’s right! The Faceless paperback is out now. You can find it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and just about anywhere else books are sold. Here’s a brief description of what the story is about: Kenji was promised honor and instead received orders to hurt those he swore to protect; Okami was promised purpose but instead was given a brother marked to replace him. The only hope lies in capturing the Shulforine, a rotting, mythical beast said to grant power beyond masks and gods. Kenji only has to survive long enough for it to matter.
Relapse Audiobook Now Available
After a long approval process with Amazon, the Relapse audiobook is available now!! If you have a subscription to Audible, you should be able to use your credits to purchase the book. Otherwise, the price is $21.83. I hope you enjoy listening to my fabulous narrator, Ravin! Here’s a brief description of Relapse: Former serial killer Brian is a monster at heart; Man-eating spider Azure is a monster by definition. Azure is targeted by a deadlier monster and Brian succumbs to his past. The truth might cost them their friendship as well as their lives.
And a teaser of the audiobook above!
Daisukidayo, Honey-Senpai! Coming Soon
My surprise project, Daisukidayo, Honey-Senpai!, is coming soon. We’re in the final stages of production. I will keep you posted as to when this title will be available as well. In the meantime, here’s a brief description for you: Undergraduate mixed-heritage student and otaku Senri Yuzuki embarks on a villainous quest each evening after class where he is determined to win despite a six-year losing streak. Teaching freshman rhetoric on a graduate fellowship isn’t what Kohaku Hachimitsu wants for his life, so he embarks on the quest game as a hero to unmask his true self. When Senri’s villain team and Kohaku’s hero team come face-to-face in the convention’s live-action quest game, they must choose to LARP their way to quest game victory to earn fandom notoriety or sacrifice this dream to be with the man they each love.
