Playing catch-up before it arrives. Snow Boys was terrific. Now reading Runaway Train which has me well hooked. Runaway Skies is downloaded on Kindle. This is not a Vampire Story is lined up and ready to follow. So envious that this genre has opened up for the younger generation in recent years.

Hi. I'm Simon Doyle. My issues have issues, but I think I'm a nice guy (or so my husband tells me). I write queer YA stories with big feelings, small moments, and best friend energy. Swipe to learn about me and HMU if we have anything in common. I talk to strangers if they're nice. 🌈📚 💙🌈 #author

I'm officially converted. Iced coffee is actually nice, y'all. Coffee no longer needs to be hot and bitter like my soul. It can be chill and sweet like my husband*. 😅 #icedcoffee #doubleshot #doubleespresso #coffee
*He made me say that.

Guys, help me find a queer artist! I'm on the hunt for a new gay YA book cover artist. Style wise, think The Sunbearer Trials meets Some Girls Do meets The Alpha's Son. If that's your art style, hit me up so I can check you out
