It’s here! The beautiful cover for my little novella, designed and illustrated by the amazing Laya Rose Art! And here as well is an ARC link and a preorder link (right now only on Gumroad, but Amazon and other links are coming soon!). This 12.5k story is the first chapter in the adventures of these two disaster queers, and is #OwnVoices for ace-spec, trans, and anxiety rep.
The blurb:
Messenger boy Kel never expected to strike up a romance with a government official. But Yaan lacks the self-important snobbery of the others, seeing Kel as more than just a pretty face. Living with him in the city’s plush government complex is everything Kel could want: no more expenses, kitchen workers and resident animals to befriend, and of course seeing Yaan every day. Even if Yaan does spend most of his time working or worrying about work, and seems to have forgotten that they used to have actual conversations…
When the city decides to tear down the iconic theater building in Kel’s old neighborhood, Yaan’s indifference toward his pleas to help save it forces Kel to confront his growing unhappiness. In the aftermath, both will have to decide whether their relationship is salvageable.
