Teenage Dirtbags (2024)
(Moorestown High)
James Acker
"Raw, real, electric, and unputdownable, The Long Run goes the distance! Acker boldly breaks all the rules with his poignant, passionate prose. I never wanted to leave Sandro and Bash, who show us that love - and sex - is not a sprint to the finish, but an investment in the long run."
The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge (2024)
Matthew Hubbard
"Deeply emotional, empowering, and poignant, LAST BOYFRIENDS is a glitter bomb of hope and optimism."
Skater Boy (2024)
Anthony Nerada
"A fun, fiery love story for the misunderstood, Skater Boy is the nostalgic, opposites-attract gay romance we deserve! A confectionary pop smash that takes inspiration from its namesake, Nerada has crafted a power ballad of a coming out story for the mainstream punk rocker in all of us."
