From my next book, title and release date not yet announced.

Still an early draft that'll likely change, but there are no typos here. It's written in a hypothetical future dialect of English.

The romance kicks in early and strong, which leads to a succession of spicy scenes and declarations of love but no real plot progress. The coming-out storyline brings the book back to life again - I wish this had occurred earlier, leading to more development later.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.
A grumpy/sunshine pairing, with both boys well drawn. They both identify as straight initially; the dawning is gradual and just about believable. The inevitable act 3 breakup doesn't ring entirely true.

2025/51 The Prince and the Player 4/5

Prince Tore of Norway wants to escape the straitjacket of royal life to play soccer at a US college, keeping his identity secret. Team captain Farron resents Tore's obvious wealth and privilege. But there's an undeniable attraction between them.

A miss, for me. I muttered "this wouldn't happen" too many times. Claimed "can be read as standalone" but has many unresolved threads, such as the (interesting) side character with a development that's forgotten about, and the secret blogger.

2025/50 Icing on the Cake 2Β½/5

Hockey jock Gerard meets librarian nerd Elliot in a sunshine/grumpy romance at a US college. Gerard, who thought he was straight, discovers he isn't.

Recorded one of my favourite scenes for the Unstable Orbits audiobook this morning, full of emotion and humour (it's the final scene of chapter 16, if you've read it).

It's got my favourite line of the book, which made me laugh/cry when I wrote it, in the middle of a god damn coffee shop.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.
β€œFollowing his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

Meanwhile, his werewolf crush Mateo might... like him?

Some cute characters here, and hints of backstory adding depth. The central mystery works well, the romance less so. Great title: I wonder if it came before the story?

The first of a regular-ish series in which I explain what I'm doing as an indie author/publisher, and how badly I'm doing it.

810 pages. I wondered how Tal Bauer could keep a romance plot going that long. There's a lot of detail and introspection, and questioning, and love. And twists, and tension, and an inevitability drawing ever closer. Great.
