Neurodiversity in Queer Romance: the anthology

~ Will Forrest ~ Leave a comment

Let’s start the year with something exciting! Well, I find it exciting, but it’s rare to be asked to write a story where a character’s neurodiversity makes a difference. 🏳️‍🌈

The Neurodivergence in Queer Romance BookFunnel Promotion aims to increase accurate, authentic, compassionate, and respectful representation of the vast and varied neurodivergent experience.

Discover brand new novellas celebrating neurodivergence in queer romance, now available for free! All stories are by a queer neurodivergent author and feature various neurodiverse and queer representation. These are only available to download until January 31.

There’s something for everyone — authors you know and love, authors sharing their debuts, stories from many subgenres, and a range of angst and spice levels.

My book ‘The Worst Boss in the World’ is an enemies-to-employee-to-lovers romance about a strangely compassionate supervillain and the desperate, dangerous man he can’t resist.

Despised by his criminal family, rejected by the law-abiding, Leo Blofeld needs a break. Like a job as a wealthy supervillain’s personal assistant. Not just for the paycheck but for the chance to get his hands on Desmond Desolate’s assets, his wealth, his obliviousness. Just what Leo needs to show up his arrogant family while he puts his plans for vengeance into action.

New to the villainy game, Desmond didn’t realize when he hired an assistant that he was getting a nervy, angry, savage little narcissist with a hunger for submission and an overpowered vendetta. A hatred based on nothing, at least from Desmond’s point of view.

Someone broke Leo, made him hate the world. Made him distrust everyone. Even himself. Something’s making Desmond want to patch him back together.

“…my only want is MORE!!”

Like a lot of authors, I try not to read too many reviews of my work. Reader opinions are wildly subjective, and what one reader might think of as a spicy little romance is to another reader smut-fueled trash (but they mean it as a compliment.) I have caught myself calling certain books “sweet” even though they contain corpses, betrayals, panic, trauma, and someone getting seriously blown up. YMMV.

But sometimes you actually ask for feedback, and I will hang my hat on this particular bit, because what do you mean I made you binge my book???

Heather runs one of the best queer romance blogs around and is the convener of the Northern Rainbow Readers & Writers event in Toronto. She’s a huge booster of MM and other types of queer romance, so much that I did in fact thank her in the acknowledgements for The Single Life.

And honestly, I needed this review. This year has kicked the crap out of me so it’s nice to know that my writing is connecting with people. Maybe there’s hope for me yet…

The Single Life is available from fine ebook retailers everywhere and on paperback from Amazon.

Why do they hate us?

So, it’s like that, is it? You really want to read this book that badly, huh? All I did was casually post the meme that inspired it and my Threads blew up. At least compared to my normal bookish content.

I don’t expect any of my other book promo posts to do this well. The mysterious entity we refer to as the social media algorithm (but which is really a bunch of underpaid staffers supporting their billionaire employer’s fascist ideology) doesn’t want to see us win, and will crush your reach if it senses even the slightest chance that you’re going to reach people organically.

Good thing I had a review copy link ready to give people. Even so, I wish I had set up pre-orders, because not everyone wants the responsibility of a review copy. JK there is zero responsibility. I just want people to read the damn thing.

So if you like queer romance full of disaster gays making bad decisions and learning to get over them, adorable twinks who don’t understand how many people want to cherish them, and the trope I like to call Oblivious-to-Lovers where two best friends (who occasionally bang) realize that this is what love looks like for them: I got you, babe.

OMG yes I want to read this book.
