Jude and Landon had been inseparable since childhood.
Everyone viewed them as inevitable, their families, their friends, their own boyfriends.
But nobody knew how terrified these two were of fucking up what meant more to them than anything else—their friendship.

Yesterday, we did our annual ice skate by the beach at the Hotel del Coronado. As we stepped onto the ice, I couldn’t help thinking that it had been a full year since this holiday tradition inspired my very first MM romance novel...

It really drove home how much reach hateful words still have. They ripple outward, infecting conversations and censoring truth. So remember that next time someone hurls a slur or tells you Charlie Kirk’s a good guy.

Over time, as I grew in the craft of storytelling, I realized my earliest drafts didn't fully do justice to the characters or their journey. So, I went back to the beginning, and gave their story the attention and refinement it deserved.

I write books because I love the stories. I don’t create the characters so much as I meet them. They enter my life and tell me their stories. I merely serve as an intermediary, filling pages with what they share.
