Jay Bell led a quiet life in Kansas until the day he met a handsome foreign exchange student named Andreas who swept him off his feet and carried him all the way to Germany. Much to their delight, marriage awaited them when they got there. While living so distant from friends and family, Jay began writing in an effort to reconcile the mixture of devotion and alienation he felt. This resulted in a Lambda Literary Award and a film option for his best-selling novel Something Like Summer. Jay and Andreas have since relocated to Chicago where their adventures continue, as do those of the characters in their emotionally driven Something Like… series. Jay pens the stories and Andreas provides the cover art, making them books about love, forged by love.

I’m obsessed with every character in this story , except for the homophobes and Ryan, but I truly love how much depth I’ve gotten from each of the characters. I used to dislike some of the main cast but I’ve truly learned to love all of them

Hello! Just wanted to say I love all of your work. After reading the Something Like Summer comic (so far) and watching the movie (which brought me to tears multiple times throughout), I am now compelled to purchase every single book (': Thank you so much for your amazing stories. PS PLS bring the movie to SoCal!!

All my best,

Thanks, Ashleigh! There's a lot of material for you to dive into. I hope you enjoy! As for the movie, we already had some theatrical showings in California during our festival tour last year. I'm not sure if there will be more, but the home release should be out around the end of summer, if all goes well. :)
