Step into a world where the past, present, and future converge in vibrant tales of queer love, loss, and rebellion. In GenreQueer, Harry F. Rey takes readers on a genre-bending journey, each story a window into the lives of queer characters shaped by time and desire.
This is not merely a collection of stories; it’s a tribute to the unyielding spirit of LGBTQ+ lives. Through seventeen outrageously gay short stories, Rey invites you to share in the rich tapestry of experiences that define us, exploring the intricate ways queer people connect in worlds both real and imagined.
Each tale is infused with Rey's signature wit and introspection, as he celebrates the ghosts of queer lives past and present, and hints at those yet to come. From the artistic enclaves of 1930s Paris to the underground clubs of Berlin, from teenage love across divided cities to chance encounters on space ships, GenreQueer is a celebration of queer resilience, gay identity, and the timeless pursuit of belonging.
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.
Cookies, Candles, and Cute Butts for Christmas publishes on November 1st!
