I am extremely delighted to announce that I have decided to indie publish my contemporary queer romantasy novel NINE-TENTHS, just in time for Pride Month!
Those of you who have been following me for a while may know that I wrote this book during the first lockdown in 2020, revised and polished it in 2021, and began to query it to agents and publishers shortly thereafter. Based on the response I got in my rejection letters, lots of people loved the story, the voice, and the characters, but it was apparent that the book was too niche-y for mainstream publishing. The book has received lots of praise from beta readers, agents, and readers on Wattpad alike, and so I decided it deserved to reach the audience it was meant for.
I have spent the last year working on getting the manuscript up to snuff and teaching myself all manner of new kinds of software and publication processes, and I am very pleased to say that I think I am going to put out a really pretty little book.
The book drops June 30th 2025 on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited; Paperback and other eBook Formats Wide Release on September 30th, 2025.
Additionally, my PR company Gay Romance Reviews is looking for people eager to spread the news about the book, and celebrate the release with me!

About the Book:
Colin Levesque is at loose ends. He’s finished university, but has no career; he adores romance novels, but he’s crap at relationships; and his prickliness is a detriment at the café where he’s making ends meet. He also has a crush on his regular Dav, a homo draconis who comes in every morning to read his newspaper, sip his double-strong coffee, and stare longingly at Colin in return.
So it figures that the day Colin gets up the courage to do something about the sexual tension simmering between them, he also learns that Dav has an embarrassing habit of hiccupping fire when he’s nervous. Which, in this case, destroys the fancy custom-made bean roaster. When Dav volunteers to take over the coffee roasting with his fire-breath, being squished together in the hot, cramped kitchen leads to even hotter kisses.
Everything’s finally happening for Colin—until people start claiming the dragon-roasted coffee has cured their genetic ailments. As their budding relationship struggles under the scrutiny of scientists and media, the hype around the coffee leads the lovers to be inducted into a centuries-old conspiracy: dragon-roasted food has always healed humans. And the most powerful draconic nobles have been withholding this symbiotic advantage to keep themselves on top. Colin and Dav are determined to expose the truth, but if they’re not careful, their objections could goad power-mad monarchs into destroying everything they hold dear.
Including each other.
