Hello!
I guess I am now on tumblr.
I'm TJ and I am the author of several queer romance novels. Chef's Kiss and its follow-up Chef's Choice are out now. If you've ever wanted to see nonbinary or trans people in a romcom while also dealing with cooking and baking, those books are for you. My third novel, Second Chances in New Port Stephen, is out later this year. It's a second chance holiday elder millennial Floridian romcom about a trans man falling back in love with his high school ex-boyfriend who is now a hot dad. You can get all the info on those at my website.
I'll be honest, I'm back on tumblr for the first time in years because it's become increasingly sucky to be on certain other social media sites as a trans nonbinary person, especially when you're trying to be a professional. Being an author is my job, and talking to readers and booksellers is a big part of that job, and I can't do that while clinging to my last shred of mental health. Not sure if returning to this site is the answer but let's find out!

Pre-order Love, Lies, and Cryptids!
Here's your universal Amazon link for the ebook!
LOVE CAN BE A REAL MONSTER.
One minute, Nico Juárez is enjoying the stability of their job as senior editor at Unified Theory Press, a publishing house specializing in books about the paranormal. The next minute, they're stuck with a terrible new boss and a clueless (yet uncomfortably cute) new assistant. Jasper Milton just wanted healthcare and to keep his sexy side-hustle a secret. Now he's faced with an adorable, yet prickly, supervisor and a company thrown into chaos. Nico and Jasper must team up to stay sane. Hopefully, they won't fall in love—or be squashed by Bigfoot—in the process.
Love, Lies, and Cryptids is a medium heat, M/NB workplace contemporary romance featuring a nonbinary, demisexual MC. Pre-orders help a book's visibility a ton, so if you'd like to read an LGBTQ+ romcom for the price of a pint, I'd be honored to have you as a reader! Thank you all so much!
(Also, if you are in Canada and the link above doesn't work, try this one instead)

"Treasures," my little m/nonbinary flash fic romance, comes out from JMS Books tomorrow! (June 24!) And it's only 99 cents!
Blake just needs a gift for his niece...which means, of course, visiting the best magical toy shop around...and, just possibly, falling head over heels for a magician toy maker...
(I know the cover's not exactly the best; the JMS flash fiction shorts only have a pre-set choice of four options!)
You can grab it at Amazon here, or over at JMS Books here - on sale for only **79 cents** at the moment! *throws confetti*

Queer books, day 31/30
Turns out I like writing about books in this format, but I read a lot more slowly than I write.
Tumblr media
I asked on Mastodon for everyone's favorite romance novels with an NB character in them. Partly because I'm in the process of writing my own NB character and I wanted to see how other people had dealt with sex scenes (in the anatomic sense). Partly because I just wanted to see how anyone else conceptualized nonbinaryness*. That request led me to Sword Dance by AJ Demas. It only sort of answers my questions, but that's okay because it's amazing.
In an alternative version of the Mediterranean, Damiskos is an ex-soldier (now disabled) and current quartermaster who has been sent to visit an old friend (Nione) to secure a contract for fish sauce. At her house, he meets: a bunch of tedious philosophers led by Eurydemos (who seems to preach a very anti-alien, anti-LGBTQ agenda, and yet is writing poems for...), Varazda (a sword dancer and eunuch from Zash, another country in which Damiskos was once stationed and for which he harbors a deep affection), Varazda's "owner" Aristokles, and a few others. Quickly, Damiskos surmises that all is not as it seems--first, he foils an attempt on Varazda's life, and it becomes apparent that the relationship between Varazda and Aristokles may be a lie--in fact, they are conspiring to hide something far greater than the fact that Varazda is not actually a slave. Soon, Damiskos is teaming up with Varazda to solve a murder, then to avert a war and recapture Nione's villa from the philosophers. Oh, and falling in love.
Varazda is an interesting character. He (Damiskos's POV is the only one we get, and he uses male pronouns for him, although he says he thinks of himself as both male and female) was made a eunuch after his father lost a military engagement of some kind. He was then enslaved for a while, until he was sent to the Zashian embassy in Boukos, and then he was freed. This is obviously a major source of trauma, and Damiskos is in a unique place to appreciate that because of his time in Zash. As a result, Damiskos is extremely careful in their nascent relationship to let Varazda lead. Their relationship is very sweet in part because of this deference, and they deal with consent very well.
Key quote: (Varazda has been discussing how he doesn't always achieve an erection because of being a eunuch.)
Rather boldly, Damiskos said, "Want to see if we can make it happen again?" Varazda looked up in surprise. "What--right now?" "Yes, of course right now! Immortal gods. We're sitting on your bed, talking about how beautiful you are and whether or not you like sex--it's surprising I even need to say anything." "I am literally a eunuch, First Spear." After that they were both laughing...
As you might have guessed from the summary above, this is a world in which there is violence, homophobia/transphobia, and slavery, including sexual slavery. Women have some rights to own property, but they aren't voting citizens. The implication, reading between the lines, is that in the world generally, same-sex couples aren't too uncommon, and it's just Eurydemos's students who have a problem with them. (Eurydemos and his students reminded me a bit of Socrates and Plato, but of course Plato doesn't care that much about same-sex relationships, c.f. that one story from Symposium that got turned into a song from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. But I've been privileged to hear some angry Jesse rants about Plato since doing the podcast, and it reminded me of that. Anyway, as Plato says a lot, philosophers with bad opinions were a dime a dozen back in Athens, so.) Also, warning for explicit on-page sex.
*: Is Varazda nonbinary or is he gender fluid? I don't know. At one point, he says, "I never really think of myself as a man, but most of the time I'm quite happy for other people to think of me that way." Elsewhere, he implies that he doesn't want to be neither male or female, so he tries to be both. Maybe genderfluid is a better word for him. Maybe he can't articulate exactly how he feels, because he's not speaking to Damiskos in his first language, or because there isn't a word for how he feels. Either way, I enjoyed the way the character was portrayed.
That's it. Lots of action/plot, a good amount of romance, very engaging, love the setting. 10/10, go read it.

Book Blurb: Milo is no stranger to the fine things, so why in the world would he deny himself the finest thing he’s ever seen across the small bar in his even smaller home town? Spoiler alert: he doesn’t, and his curiosity leaves him cuffed to one of the Hunters of Obscure Artifacts. The HOA’s magic cuffs leave him unable to don his scales and his dragon itches for freedom. Trapped hand in hand with his supposed mortal enemy, that’s not the only itch Milo would mind scratching. Xander, however, has other plans. They need this dragon’s treasure, because that’s what hunters do. But ever since the Big Reveal, torturing dragons for their treasure is outlawed. A minor complication, and one that requires the kinds of creative solutions Xander excels at. They’ll do almost anything to secure this treasure, and get unchained from the all too charming dragon it belongs to. Is there any line a desperate treasure hunter won’t cross? ~~~ Join them on their journey to freedom and discover if X really does mark the spot in this delightful rom com.
Review:
A dragon who just wants to spend his days baking but is suddenly stuck (literally) with a hunter who wants his hoard... but the real treasure might be right in front of them. Milo is a dragon who is living a peaceful life, protecting the small town he lives in and running his own bakery. One day a new stranger, or rather hunter appears in town and suddenly before Milo knows it he is handcuffed to said stranger. Xander is a hunter, Xander wants and needs this dragon’s treasure because its what hunters do and what their family expects them to do. Xander needs to secure the treasure but the charming dragon accidentally makes them lose the key and now Xander and Milo are handcuffed together and things are about to get complicated. Xander has only ever wanted to fit in and their family is the only one that has accepted that they are a nonbinary individual, but then there comes Milo, who instantly accepts them, who is sweet, and pretty, and kind... and now Xander doesn’t know what to do with their feelings. Milo has always loved collecting treasures... but now he can’t help himself with wanting this very hot hunter despite everything. Both Milo and Xander were never really meant to fall for each other but the more time they spend together the more they are beginning to realize that the only treasure there is, is each other. This was seriously such a cute story!!! I absolutely adored the couple and how sweet Milo and Xander were for each other. I have adored this series and I can’t wait to see what couple Lana does next!!
**Arc was received from Lana Kole and all my opinions are my own**

The Northern Child: First Sight 
Crow (he/him) and Tree (they/them)
It looked strange, like a person, but feral in an animal kind of way. The nymph’s jaw was soft, coming to a delicate point at a tiny chin. The nose was sloped and pointed like a small fish hook. Impossibly large eyes stared back at him, rimmed with pale long lashes and irises greener than any plant Crow had ever seen, even at night. The nymph’s ears were long and pointed, and their skin was strangest of all. Pastel green in the moonlight, with a spattering of golden freckles covering their face and neck. Pale yellow hair sat atop their head like a bird’s nest, light as sunlight. 
“Northern Child…” The nymph whispered. Their voice sounded like a song, too high for that of a man, and too low for that of a woman. It was somewhere in between, oddly beautiful.

Big news for me! My books will be available across the UK! Simon & Schuster UK will be printing and selling my first four books in my very first international rights deal. I’m a big fan of those tea kettles the British have, so you can imagine my excitement.
UK folks, this means the eBook and audiobook versions of Chef’s Kiss and Chef’s Choice are available now through your online retailers. Print editions of Chef’s Kiss should be out 6 July (I know how y'all love making those dates backwards, I am so cosmopolitan!), and print editions of Chef’s Choice are coming on 20 July. You can also look forward to your very own UK editions of Second Chances in New Port Stephen later this year and the as-yet-unrevealed Book 4. Please spread the word so that other British readers can find me!
