  Caleb never expected to find magic in the woods behind his house -- or to discover friendship, first love, and a family secret that could change everything he thought he knew about his life. But when he meets Morai, a reclusive hedgewitch whose knowledge of the land and its ancient rhythms stretches back generations, and Teddy, a messy, determined boy from town with a reckless heart and a sharp wit, Caleb's quiet summer transforms into something extraordinary.
  Together, the three of them navigate the hidden rules of spells, the secret language of plants and animals, and the subtle, watchful magic that pulses through the forest and the hedge bordering their world. As Caleb learns more about his family's hidden legacy, he begins to understand magic is not just a force to wield -- it is a bond, a responsibility, and a path toward self-discovery. Along the way, friendship becomes love, courage takes root in unexpected ways, and the quiet power of connection proves stronger than fear.
  This tender, immersive queer folk fantasy is about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, honoring the past while shaping the future, and discovering the courage to embrace who you are -- and who you love -- against all odds. It's a story about magic, community, and the ways hearts can grow together, even in the shadow of secrets, danger, and the unknown.

  “Love is never a bad thing, Samuel. Love is God. It’s people that are bad. Hateful. Deceitful. You should fear their judgment, not the Almighty’s.” 
  Elias Abate doesn't do complicated. He has his tattoo shop in Williamsburg, his art, his classes, and that's enough. It has always been enough. He doesn't talk about his past, doesn't let people close, and definitely doesn't get involved with clients. 
  Then Jaden Price sits down in his chair. 
  Jaden is patient, perceptive, and used to getting what he wants. And Elias, who has built an entire life around knowing when to walk away, keeps finding reasons not to. 
  Elias has secrets. The kind that don't stay buried forever. The kind that have kept him at arm's length from everyone who has ever tried to get close. But Jaden, who sees more than Elias gives him credit for, isn't going anywhere. 
  What starts as business becomes something neither of them has a name for. And for Elias, a man who has spent his whole life leaving before he can be left, that might be the most terrifying thing of all. 
  A dark, slow-burn, BDSM-charged MM romance — The Architect is the third book in The Crimson Knot series.

  Manboobs - A Memoir of Musicals...

  A blazing new talent’s hilarious memoir about coming of age and coming out in Pakistan, moving to America, looking for love, and falling in love with himself along the way 
   
  What do you do when you’re too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America, and ashamed of your body everywhere? How can you find happiness despite years of humiliation, physical danger, and a legion of Brooklyn hipsters who know you only as a queer from Whereveristan? How do you summon the courage to be yourself no matter where you are? 
   
  Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different—no one else at his all-boys prep school was pirouetting off their desks, or being bullied for their “manboobs,” or spontaneously bursting into songs from The Little Mermaid. Aijazuddin began to believe his only chance at a happy, meaningful life would be found elsewhere: America, the land of the free, the home of the gays. But the hostility of a post–9/11 world and society’s rejection of his art, his desires, and his body would soon teach him that finding happiness takes a lot more than a plane ticket. Searching for his place between two worlds while navigating a minefield of expectations, prejudice, and self-doubt, Aijazuddin discovered—sometimes painfully, sometimes hilariously—that there are people and places he’d need to let go of to move forward. 
   
  Manboobs is a riotously funny memoir of searching for love, seamlessly blending humor, politics, pop culture, and the bravery required to be yourself. Aijazuddin confidently announces himself as an exciting new voice in humor with his moving and charming reexamination of the American dream and our search for home. 
   
  “Manboobs is an important story, told with a sharp wit and disarming humor. Aijazuddin has the ability to address difficult subjects with thoughtfulness and honesty, while also making you laugh out loud.”—Moshin Zaidi, author of A Dutiful Boy

  Sometimes the world is actually ending… 
  Dawson Hill is used to the routine and isolation of working on an oil platform in the North Sea.

And the island is inhabited by all kinds of beings. It soon becomes clear that rescue isn’t coming, and they are running out of food. 
  Magic is gone, and the water tastes different. Is different. King Ul doesn’t know what to tell his people when they look to him for answers about what happened or what the metal contraption is. The invaders must have answers, so when they leave the metal boxes, he has them arrested, which is how he discovers the marks on his skin glow in the presence of one man. His mate. 
  Even though Ul wants to get his tentacles on Dawson, he doesn’t have time for love while his kingdom is in trouble. 
  A gay Christmas/solstice romance in the Mytho Collapse world, which is set when the mythological world collapses into the human world, and part of Tinsel and Tentacles

  Lent

  Longlisted for the 2024 Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In Poetry
  
  Finalist for the 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards
  
  In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread.
  Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary—large and small—converges in the home, in small objects, conversations, and moments. The grotesque and the tedious, the baroque and the banal, intertwine in the first three sections. Meticulous depictions of spectacle run into the repetition of daily domestic life: trying to explain time to children, day trips to the planetarium, and the warnings of strangers; these are interspersed with depictions such as Mary Shelley recalling the monster, the inner life of a seventeenth century portrait sitter, and Ted Hughes's second wife telling her story to the dead Sylvia Plath. The title section explores religious faith; how belief is itself a repetition, a slow accumulation over time, just like love or forgiveness.
  Lent is an exquisite work of our era, asking us to contemplate what it means to live in a broken world—and why we still find it beautiful.
