Heart Hollow is all yours 🏩

After much anticipation.... The physical release is finally here! This book is a whopping 367 pages, 127,000+ words, and every aspect of this novel has been lovingly crafted over the span of 5 years.

The first book in my LGBTQ+ slowburn romance series is about a teenager who washes up into a small mountain town looking to lay low, only to find himself drowning in theatrical loss, intimate romance, and inescapable fate 💘

only 2 more months and Heart Hollow will be all yours 💘

Welcome to Heart Hollow, Pennsylvania.

In decades past, this small town’s Honeymoon Hotel & Resort was highly influential to local culture. Today, the grounds lay derelict and wild... Yet by some strange miracle, the doors remain open despite it severely struggling with money, maintenance, and mismanagement.

The neglectful Resort owner Mr. Wright employs very eclectic people; his assistant manager Lewis Lockheart is a local celebrity of sorts due to his last name, and rumor has it, he’s got himself a new assistant from outside of town.

Of course, new-hire Zeke just washes up into Heart Hollow looking to lay low, but he quickly finds himself drowning in some small town’s generational story of theatrical loss, intimate romance, and inescapable fate.

feb 2026 update!

hi everybody!! happy 2026!! it's been a productive year so far!

here's everything i've been working on since the last update:

the physical release of Heart Hollow is still in copyright office purgatory....... as soon as they release it from their wretched hands i am ready to go to my publisher!!!

the entirely of book 1 has been updated on AO3 to accurately reflect what's going to be in the print version! small tweaks, a few new scenes, and some chapter reformatting. Court Date: Part II got a major overhaul to be a bit more concise and exciting! also: there were some pretty major issues i found in the AO3 version??? for some reason two chapters were out of order???? maybe i'm just old and don't know how AO3 works anymore lol...... anyways, that should all be fixed now! yay!

HUGE website update!!! i revised the Welcome. and About. pages. i made some formatting changes to the Lore. and FAQ. pages. i added some "hidden" character art pages for the main five characters that you can access through the Cast. page ;) I also uploaded the entire Book 1 to my website under a new page called Chapter Directory.

i began working on Book 2..... i'm only about 4,000 words into chapter I, but i'm very excited for this book!! lots of big changes coming to the Hotel and the staff!

KEYCHAINS. COMING VERY VERY SOON.

working on a suuuuper sweet winter themed drabble just in time for Valentine's Day :)

whew! that's it! since my move, i've had a lot of time to work on my one true passion project. i'm VERY grateful for that.

i am eager to get book 1 in print.... i wont be posting any book 2 chapters until that comes out, most likely. but who knows. these mfers could sleep on this application for months... spare me

anyways! thanks for hanging around, y'all! i know i haven't been super active on here during the last year or so, but i hope my periodic check-ins are enough :))

see ya guys SOON!!!

I want to make something like this but for Heart Hollow Hotel so bad. like this would be the pinnacle of merch

[binarybitex]

oh, march 2024 me, if only you knew!

[paperruins]

you need to make more self-indulgent art btw. hyper-specific self-indulgent niche shit that appeals to You Specifically and maybe nobody else will get it or even like it but that's the point.

[lost-in-eriador]

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

[and-fishing-equipment]

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly
