There's Only One Sin in Hollywood (2026)
Rasheed Newson
"Rasheed Newson delivers another triumph and staple of queer literature with this noir-style, page turning novel that captures both the regretful and hopeful timelessness of the gay struggle. If Hollywood has only one sin, I hope this book is part of its salvation."

The Snowbirds (2025)
Christina Clancy
"This book is a trip! An honest and authentic portrait of love, family and finding yourself told with beautiful writing and rich characters."

Four Squares (2024)
Bobby Finger
"Five stars for Four Squares! A beautiful and immersive story of often achingly relatable moments of being gay and longing for love during trying times. This journey of a writer seeking to perfectly capture imperfect joys of friendships and family - trying to put words to life's sometimes indescribable experiences - is hopeful, insightful, and absolutely delightful."
