Release Day!
New novella!! All the softness and slightly bittersweet feels! (Followed with happiness and cake, don't worry!)
Jericho Candelario's Gay Debut
Jerry Candelario, known as Potts to almost everyone, has spent his entire adult life focused on raising his siblings and his niece. But the home he fought hard to make feels empty since everyone has grown up and moved out, and his precious baby niece is now a teen with a life of her own. With fewer people at the dinner table every night, Jerry suddenly has all the time in the world to think about what he wants.
For years, Jerry has kept to himself, never going to college, never dating or doing anything with his evenings except getting lost in a book. But although he pushed aside his longing for community and romance, he never stopped imagining the freedom he might have in a distant someday.
Then kind, clever, and out Lincoln Lee opened a bakery in Jerry’s small town. Jerry told himself he was lucky when they became friends. He was too busy to try for a relationship, and someone like Lincoln would never want someone like him anyway. But now that Jerry’s nights are free, all he wants to do is spend them with Lincoln. Jerry knows nothing about gay culture, or dating, or being in love. With Lincoln, he wants to try, but is he making a fool of himself or is his someday finally here?
Available on Smashwords and Amazon!
(aaaand now I want cake and have none. This was terribly short-sighted on my part.)

New f/f story!
Sometimes you gotta write purple alien ladies being clueless lesbians. And sometimes you have to set that against a backdrop of rebellious queer socialist nerds fighting fascism.
Cuz ya gotta.
Tit for Tat
Tat never expected a future. A lower-caste Luudi who left her planet and made a new home with a group of idealistic humans, she spends her time looking out for new family and working in secret to rescue refugees from a neighboring country. She is content with what she has, if sometimes lonely.
Then a Pros arrives their tense little border town. Although mostly human, the Pros were genetically engineered to look perfect and to offer pleasure, both physically and psychically. Beautiful, sophisticated Cin is no exception, which is why when she approaches Tat, Tat knows it can’t be personal. Luudi are big, strong, purple, and impervious to psychic influence—making Tat the safest outlet for someone like Cin. Tat says yes with no expectation that Cin would ever want more, while convinced the danger will eventually drive Cin away.
But the Pros can take care of themselves, as well as any quietly heroic Luudi who catches their eye—if only that Luudi would let them. Tat has spent so long helping others find a future, it doesn’t occur to her to seek out her own even when her silence might cost her the one she wants.
Out September 27th! But available for preorder on Amazon and Smashwords!
In other news, the short Butterbean and the Pretty Princess Make a Home should be rereleased very soon and will be just 99 cents. And Taji from Beyond the Rings, an m/m sci fi romance, will be out in late October (or early November. It's been a year of weird events, and at this point I'm hedging my bets.)
Also, quick reminder that you can sign up for my new newsletter if you like--R. Cooper's Newsletter
