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.
