The cover of Together in a Broken World by Paul Michael Winters.

Book description:

Two boys fall in love in a deadly world, but it's the secrets they keep that might kill them.

Seventeen-year-old Zach was visiting his uncle in a small Montana town when a mysterious illness ripped through the world. Most died, but those who survived the Infection became mindless killers, spreading the disease with a single scratch. Now, a year later, civilization lies in ruins, and Zach is the town's sole survivor. Desperately lonely, he longs to return to his family in Seattle, but his fears hold him captive.

Eighteen-year-old Aiden is on a critical mission for the covert Scientific Collective, delivering vials whose contents could cure the Infection. Tortured by his boyfriend's death, he welcomes the risks of the perilous journey. When a militia attacks Aiden, he flees to Zach's town.

The boys escape together and soon form a bond as they comfort each other in this desolate and broken world. The farther they travel, the more their affection grows, as do the forces pulling them apart. But their greatest threats are the secrets they keep. Zach hides details of his uncle's death, and Aiden conceals the vials' sinister origins. In order to survive, they'll have to confront the truths that could tear their love apart.

Looking for a queer YA horror with a side of romance? Let me recommend THE HAUNTING BETWEEN US, by @pmwintersauthor.bsky.social

A coming of age story that deals with the struggles and joys of being young and queer, blended with a genuinely creepy ghost story full of twists and scares!

Port Townsend, WA, is a real Victorian village and supposedly one of the most haunted towns on the West Coast.

It's the setting for The Haunting Between Us, a queer coming-of-age romance and ghost story!

My queer agenda for the day:

Stopped into my local queer bookstore, @wayfaringbooks.bsky.social, and bought a queer book, The Haunting Between Us by @pmwintersauthor.bsky.social. I’m making myself a queer cup of tea, and getting ready to queer read my book.

Seriously y’all! THIS is why I write queer fiction! If I can make ONE queer kid feel less alone, I’ve made a difference.
