I’m releasing my very queer book, When You’re Dead and Gone, later this month on 6/27! This story features a transfemme POV character, a nonbinary menace, a lesbian allegedly with her shit together, and two boys’ tragic love story in the letters they left behind. You can also get this three weeks early on Saturday 6/6 at Denver Underground Pride — hosted at 7th Circle!
Featuring me, your gay author ✨
A month before his eighteenth birthday, Lane Winters overdoses on his bedroom floor.
A year after his death, his boyfriend Kieran steals his ashes, intent upon taking Lane to all the places they promised each other they would go.
Caleb Winters spent the last year caring for his grieving mother and coping with his brother’s death by holding onto his sobriety with both hands. He’s not prepared to move back to Denver and face the people he left behind, and he’d rather rot in bed and watch tapes on VCR than speak to his father. When he has to chase after Kieran, he’s ready to explode, but seeing Vanya again is something else. Love, maybe? Fuck.
Vanya Nilsson had something very bad happen to her. She’s had a lot of bad things happen to her, but in the last year, she’s become more herself than she knew possible. Leave it to Caleb Winters to throw it all into chaos — he’s back in Denver for less than an hour, and she’d follow him to the moon. A roadtrip together with their friends seems like magic, the way it was before Lane died.
The roadtrip of a lifetime:
Driving across the western United States, they must save Lane’s ashes before something happens to him.
Maybe, just maybe, they need to save more than Lane, but Kieran — and themselves, too.
