Queer as Folk Tales

James Penha

To paraphrase Toni Morrison: If there’s a folk tale you want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, you must write it. In Queer as Folk Tales, James Penha has done exactly that—he has gathered ancient myths and legends and reimagined them with queer lovers at their heart, the stories he, like so many LGBTQ2+ readers, has longed for.

In these tales…

A gay boy steps into a photograph to find happiness.

A dying man can rest only after seeking forgiveness from the trans celebrity he once denied.

A woman surrenders to passion in the arms of a ghostly, lesbian wraith.

Two gay fishermen fall afoul of a dragon.

A Chinese student searches for the legendary god of queers.

And a Norse god embraces his pansexuality when he falls for a giant.

In these tales we ask…

Can queer desire bloom with a ghost?

Which sleeping hunk will the prince decide needs his kiss?

Can a poet save the beautiful young ginger trapped in a fox's body?

Who are the queer heroes still remembered after thousands of years?

Queer as Folk Tales publishes Friday October 3rd.

Only My Husband Calls Me Cooper

Cali Kitsu

Coop and Ethan have arrived in Italy for the perfect honeymoon—sex, gondola rides, cooking classes, and sightseeing. After a lunch at Ethan’s grandparents, the two meet the neighbors and are soon faced with a decision that will change their lives forever.

In need of fast legal assistance, their plans are quickly flipped upside down when Coop’s dad and husband, along with high-powered attorneys Madeline and Liam, join them in Italy. Between Liam’s lollipops and cocky attitude, sauce fights, and Coop and Ethan’s newfound love of cannoli (which ends up on the fan), this is one honeymoon that is anything but traditional.

When the group returns to Florida, Liam finds himself all alone after a breakup with his girlfriend. With nowhere to go, Coop’s dad and his husband offer him a place to stay at their estate. When Liam meets the energetic, anime-loving Arie Morgan, Coop’s sister, the two bond quickly over soccer and past experiences.

The beautiful Arie comes with her own baggage; her best friend since childhood is madly in love with her, but Arie has never noticed. When Liam enters the scene bearing purple lollipops and making pancakes—Arie’s favorites—her best friend has something to say about the amount of time the two have been spending together, and if he has his way, Arie and Liam won’t get their happy ever after.

Only My Husband Calls Me Cooper is an explicit adult MM romantic comedy with hilarious tour guides, a genie costume, and so much cannoli.

Only My Husband Calls Me Cooper publishes on Friday September 26th.

You Can Call Me Cooper: Author's Cut

Cali Kitsu

Publisher’s Note:
This is the Author’s Cut of You Can Call Me Cooper. For a less explicit read, check out the young adult version of You Can Call Me Cooper, which has plenty of steam, but no on-page sex.

Twenty-one and fresh off a breakup with his long-term boyfriend, baseball all-star Coop Morgan should feel devastated, but instead he feels...nothing. That is, until Ethan Prescott, his coach's son walks in with a gorgeous face and an ass like a seven-layer cake. The feeling that comes over him is completely new, he doesn’t just want to bone Ethan, he wants to own him.

Just when Coop is about to make a move on Ethan, he stumbles on his late mother's journal and learns old secrets about his family—secrets that had forever altered the course of his life to bring him to where he is now. Before he can move forward, he must come to terms with what he’s learned, even if that means accepting his entire life was built on a lie.

Ethan Prescott has never felt at home, growing up between two houses, despite being smothered with love by his overbearing Italian mother. Outside of baseball and painting, nothing has ever been able to capture his attention, except for one man…Cooper Morgan. And when the opportunity to be on a team with him arises, Ethan jumps at the chance.

Determined to help Coop and his suffering game, Ethan goes all in on trying to get Coop to notice him, but between his mother who has somehow ended up at his dad’s house, ill-advised hair training from Coop’s best friend, and Coop standing in front of him dripping wet and completely naked in the locker room, Ethan finds himself constantly set back, until the night of a teammate’s birthday party.

Coop and Ethan head to the party with the same goal, but will too many shots, an ex-boyfriend, and smelly cologne stand in their way of happiness?

The Author’s Cut of You Can Call Me Cooper is an adult MM romantic comedy with an extended prologue, deleted scenes, deeper emotional intimacy, and on-page sex.

You Can Call Me Cooper: Author's Cut publishes on Friday September 26th.

Thirteen Winters

Thirteen Winters

Jay Heron

Some winters never end. But this one might lead them back to love…

Thirteen winters ago, Remi Hendricks and Isaac Williams burned too hot, too fast—and their whirlwind romance in Sweden ended in heartbreak. With an entire ocean between them, it seemed the perfect way to keep the past in the past.

But now, Isaac has just walked into Remi’s Brussels office…as his new boss.

Still reeling from the death of his husband—and the betrayal he uncovered soon after—Remi has no space in his life for old wounds, much less for a man who left him behind. Isaac, determined to act professionally, tries olive branch after olive branch, but Remi isn’t ready to thaw. Until a mandatory conference in Düsseldorf forces them together once more.

As sparks reignite and the truth behind their breakup comes to light, Remi and Isaac find themselves falling all over again. But with company policy strictly forbidding workplace romances—and eyes watching their every move—they’ll have to decide whether love is worth risking everything they’ve built.

Now older, wiser, and a little more scarred, Remi and Isaac have one chance to make things right. Can they finally turn this thirteenth winter into a lasting spring?

Dying Light

Posted on by Deep Desires Press

To say Joe and Trevor are sworn enemies would be the understatement of the year.

Their feud began with Daniel—Joe’s brother, Trevor’s partner. When Daniel relapsed, Joe walked away. Trevor stayed. And when Daniel overdosed, the fracture between them only deepened.

Years later, they’re forced back together by the last person either of them expected—Joe and Daniel’s mother. Her will demands that Joe, Trevor, and Daniel’s son Mitchell share family dinners for one year. If they refuse, the inheritance disappears.

At their first dinner, Trevor notices something’s wrong with Joe—better known to the world as Jader, a dazzling gay pop icon. The man who once ruled the stage is battling a chronic illness, and every movement is laced with pain. Trevor has always been a sucker for broken men. Joe has never stopped craving attention.

What starts as a reluctant truce grows into a magnetic pull neither can deny. But their history, and Joe’s uncertain future, may be too much to overcome.

In the ruins of their family’s tragedies, Joe and Trevor must find a way to be together—or else the first spark of light in their darkness will die for good.

Vincent & Sivan

Book 1: Rum-Soaked Awakenings

Cali Kitsu

Vincent & Sivan is an explicit, best-friends-to-lovers, dual gay awakening, adult MM romance novel.

Vincent and Sivan, sons of the world’s most powerful pirates, are to be named captains this year, an honor for when they turn twenty-one. Under their fathers, they will rule in the modern age of pirates where the seas are at peace and long gone are the days of pillaging and plundering.

Best friends since childhood, they couldn’t have more opposite views on love. Vincent wants to settle down with the right person, despite pressure from his father to marry once he’s named captain. Sivan, however, finds the idea of love and marriage laughable.

Reunited after months apart as their fathers’ ships patrolled opposite ends of the seas, Vincent and Sivan share a bottle of rum in the ship’s storage room. A moment of curiosity steeped in hidden desire, filthy with lust, leads to a very hot and heavy night of rum-soaked awakenings…

But no one can know about this, no one can find out, or their promotions as captains, and the trust of their fathers, may be altogether shattered.

Vincent and Sivan are thrust into a world of secrets and betrayal, as their crews now face a long-buried threat when those determined to bring back the old ways of pirates emerge from the shadows.

Cookies, Candles, and Cute Butts for Christmas

Cameron D. James & Cali Kitsu

It’s gonna be a hot Christmas in Frosty Bottoms, when Braden, the new hunky veterinarian strolls into town, but this gorgeous man is no stranger, and he’s no longer a vet. He’s coming back to Frosty Bottoms to bake cookies and dip his wick in Kellan, the local candlemaker, who happens to be his childhood best friend.

Kellan knows Braden is coming back to town and taking over BJ’s Cookies and he’s unsure how to feel about it. They have a past; Kellan felt something but then Braden moved away.

Sparks soon fly when Braden reunites with Kellan, but they want different things. Braden is only interested in a relationship, while Kellan is only looking for hookups. With mishaps galore, including over-excited family, unrecognizable otters, and motorboating a muscle chest, everyone and everything seems to be pushing the two men together.

When the initial ice between them melts, it’s not long before more than cookie dough is being rolled out on Braden’s counters…and a certain bottom is getting frosted.

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Posted on by Deep Desires Press

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Cali Kitsu

My name is Froderick Dracula, but my friends call me Frode. I’m seventeen and starting my junior year of high school. My father, the famous Count Dracula, is not only the most celebrated vampire in the world, but he’s also the school ruler, not to mention a huge idiot. He’s completely out of touch with the world and hates anything that he doesn’t understand—which is basically everything.

Being the son of the ruler of the school and the highest vampire in all of vampire society is hard enough on its own, but there’s one thing I forgot to mention: I’m gay. It’s pretty hard keeping such a big secret, especially with my father trying to convince me to get my first bite out of the way. I’m not interested in biting any girls, though, so that’s not gonna happen.

Starting the first day of school will be just like every other year, boring, bland, full of classes that I don’t care about. That’s what I assumed until our opening assembly, when I saw him. Caleb Cheval. The new vampire in school. He’s also a noble, and he wants to—hold my hand?

Whaaat?! What the fangs am I supposed to do?
