I'm bringing aliens to New York.

They land June 22, 2017 as part of the first Gay Romance Kindle World!

The world is set around Felice Stevens’ Memories of the Heart and Breakfast Club series. As an enthusiastic fan of both, I was delighted to be asked to participate, especially when Felice indicated she’d love to see me write something with a science fiction element. After jumping up and down a little (I actually do this) I told her I was gonna bring aliens to New York.

I’m sure she regretted asking me at that point.

I parked my butt in front of the laptop and wrote Uncommon Ground.

COUNTING DOWN is available now.

Because I’m evil, I’ve taken two perfectly nice guys and locked them in a basement together. Honestly, it’s for their own good. Really! Marc has issues to work through and Henry needs more time to get used to the idea that Marc really is gay.

Actually, they both need to work on that one.



What reviewers are saying:

“I liked this one even better than the first! I could read more of these two just being trapped/locked in various places.”

“This was lovely and now I can't wait for the final book.”

“…believable and relatable.”

and my favourite quote ever:

"Kelly Jensen rocks writing the short story. Seriously, she packs so much depth into such a small word count."

Marc's Worst Date

Counting Down releases in just over two weeks, so I figured it might be time to post a few excerpts! And, you know, let you all know I have a book coming out soon. In this excerpt, Marc and Henry are swapping worst date stories. Marc’s worst date may or may not be based on an actual date I might or might not have been on…

Two Years of Chaos Station!

Chaos Station released two years ago today! Because I miss these guys, I decided to recreate them in The Sims 4 and play out the lives they couldn't have in the 24th century. No war, no space-faring or military careers, nothing to get in the way of their happiness. I wasn't at all surprised by how much fun I had replaying Felix and Zed's love story. What amazed me was how much like the guys my Sims turned out to be. Sure, I designed them and gave them all the right personality traits. But when left to their own devices, they did things that Felix and Zed probably would have done. It was awesome to watch.

It’s Release Day!

This book has been such a long time coming. I wrote it between Chaos Station and Lonely Shore, then had to put it aside because writing the rest of Felix’s journey alongside Zed was too absorbing and too much fun – even while they were breaking our hearts.



Now Block and Strike is finally here and I’m so, so excited!

I have a tour, of course, and the stops are listed below. I hope you’ll follow along! Every stop features a question and every answer counts as an entry in my giveaway. Prizes are two $25 Dreamspinner Press store credits!

BLOCK AND STRIKE is now available for pre-order!

Block and Strike is now available for pre-order at most retail outlets! As such, I figured it might be time to post a new teaser.

This scene is from the end of chapter two. The second chapter is where we meet Max for the first time. Throughout every revision round and edit, this chapter pretty much stayed intact--which is pretty unusual for an early chapter. I credit Max's stubbornness. Even confined to a hospital bed, he had a handle on the situation: who he was, who he wanted to be and how much of a plan he didn't have to get there.

Block and Strike releases January 6, 2017. Available for Pre-Order at:

Counting Stars

At the end of my holiday novella, Counting Fence Posts, Henry invites Marc back to his parents’ place for Christmas. Actually, it’s less invitation, more assumption, but Marc doesn’t object, and after two days of haunting the lobby of a crowded hotel outside Albany, they’re finally on their way back to Boston.


Read Now

If not for a word count limit, I might have included this visit in the original novella. I’m actually glad I didn’t. Not only do I now have the chance to share an extra story (which I love doing), I really like the way Counting Fence Posts ended. It was sweet, simple and filled with promise.

I hope you enjoy this extra slice of time with Henry and Marc! Their story is set to continue, by the way. Counting Down, which is their first actual date, is coming spring 2017 from Dreamspinner Press! Details on my Coming Soon page. And I’m currently outlining the final story in the Counting trilogy, Counting Out, which will be another road trip, with less roadside distress and more happy ever after. That’s the plan, anyway.
