Happy publication date to @ajromriell.bsky.social, whose memoir WOLF ACT is out today!

We're grateful for early praise from Debutiful, Foreword Reviews, The Rumpus, and Booklist. Many thanks to Melissa Faliveno, Elissa Washuta, and Gary James Bergera for their kind blurbs.
The left part of the background is red and the right is beige. On the left, a photo of the cover of WOLF ACT. On the right, text says "available now!" and then: Debutiful - Most Anticipated Debut Books of 2025. "This captivated me in ways I wasn't prepared for"-Debutiful. "Wolf Act thrives in its interactive and ingenious structuring. . . . A powerful memoir that serves as a reminder of the hidden wounds that individuals must reconcile themselves to in order to survive"-Foreword Reviews (starred review) The left part of the background is red and the right is beige. On the left, a photo of the cover of WOLF ACT. Text reads "more praise..." and then there are review quotes: "Wolf Act not only ends in joy and love, it bursts with it throughout. There is something operatic about how Romriell leans into every emotion, be it exquisitely painful or pleasurable, without the defenses of ironic self-mockery or stoic masculinity. Wolf Act is a romantic book in the aesthetic sense of finding ultimate reality within the heart and in the grandeur of the wilderness"-The Rumpus. "The book is affecting, as Romriell struggles to find himself. . . . Engaging"-Booklist The left part of the background is red and the right is beige. On the left, a photo of the cover of WOLF ACT. On the right it says "more praise" and then there's a blurb from Elissa Washuta: "Wolf Act moves in the way a body does, an evocative intertwining of memories through the complexities of deep familial love, the alienating potential of religious orthodoxy, the thrilling and shameful experiences of adolescence, and the search for love (including self-love) in a homophobic culture that narrowly defines lovability"--Elisa Washuta, author of White Magic The left part of the background is red and the right is beige. On the left, a photo of the cover of WOLF ACT. On the right, text reads "more praise" and then there's a blurb: "A book both tender and with teeth--a dark, lyric fairy tale of redemption and rebirth. In achingly honest and playful prose, Romriell invites us to embrace our animal selves, in their hungriest, most complex forms; to find beauty and belonging in both our wildest and softest parts. Wolf Act is a lament, a prayer, a brave and hopeful hymn--a reminder that in order to be seen we must first see ourselves; that in order to be heart we must find our own voice, to bare our throats to the night and howl."--Melissa Faliveno, author of Tomboyland

My first essay publication seems like as good a time as any to officially venture into the Bluesky.

Endlessly grateful to see my words out in the world.
