When Ben Loved Tim is here and about to rock your world. This full-length novel returns to Ben’s time in high school, when his lonely heart felt a spark of hope the night a boy in blue shoes jogged past him. But wait, haven’t I already told that story? Not like this. The new book focuses entirely on Ben and Tim’s first year together, back in high school, focusing on the young lovers with obsessive intensity and little else.

Pride High: Book 2 OUT NOW!
Jay Bell Books
by James Bell

When I came out back in 1993, it was an exhilarating experience to say the least. I felt like the world was against me, but I had an amazing group of friends and was lucky enough to find love. That’s the inspiration behind Pride High, because although three decades have gone by, it feels like we’ve come full circle. Queer people are being targeted with just as much vim and vigor (Book banning? Really?!) but our happiness remains in our own hands. Gay love is a beautiful thing, whether you experience it yourself or witness it from afar. Ain’t nobody gonna keep us faeries down! We’ll keep sowing ..read more

Something Like Daybreak – eBook and audiobook!
Jay Bell Books
by James Bell
1y ago
Something Like Daybreak, a new novella, is now out! This one takes place after all the other books in the series. I honestly didn’t plan on writing more, but characters have a way of whispering in your ear. (Marcello especially, along with some tongue.) This time it was Victor, who is usually content to remain in his clearing while contemplating the mysteries of the universe. Which is fine, but it isn’t much of a happy ending. The story itself is short but packed with emotion and familiar faces. The audiobook version of Something Like Daybreak is also available! The magnificent Kevin R Free ha ..read more

New story! Icarus and Apollo New series! Pride High
Jay Bell Books
by James Bell
1y ago
Most of us are familiar with the myth of Icarus. It’s that old “don’t aim too high” myth that needed a serious overhaul. So I took it upon myself to fix it by making it MUCH more gay. The result is my latest novella, Icarus and Apollo. In it, a handsome young man—Icarus—becomes obsessed with attracting the attention of a gorgeous god—Apollo—no matter how unlikely their love might seem. Of course there are plenty of complications that get in the way, but hey, that’s nothing a pair of wax wings can’t fix. But like the story of old, will Icarus find himself falling in love while also falling to h ..read more

A couple of years back, I made the difficult decision to go exclusive with Amazon, meaning my eBooks couldn’t be purchased anywhere else. That kind of sucked, so the Something Like… series is once again available on a multitude of retail sites, along with all of my other books. If you’re looking for a complete list, this page will be your new best friend. There you can learn more about each title, including your buying options. Thank you for bearing with me during this experiment. It’s good to be among friends again ..read more

The Something Like Summer comic is about to reach its dramatic conclusion! We’d like to get the third and final volume into print, but we can’t do it without you.

When a young man is swept back in time to the 1950s, he has to decide if he wants to return home or stay with the special guy he falls in love with while there. That’s the plot of my newest release, Out of Time, Into You, but I suspect you’re more interested to learn how this book is going to make you feel. After all, I do have a reputation for writing emotional stories. It’s not that I want to rip your heart out. I’d rather fill it with so much beauty that you have to cry just to relieve some of the pressure. So yes, this book is bursting at the seams with emotion. It also focuses on the bes ..read more

Summer is officially here, and that means more Something Like Summer! We’ve got a second volume of comics out today, but you know what’s cooler than picking up the new graphic novel? How about getting an exclusive Something Like… mini-story too? I wrote Something Like Marriage as a sneaky bonus for my Kickstarter supporters. It’s a cute little scene from when Ben and Tim were teenagers. This story is so small that it fits on a single sheet of high-quality paper, printed front to back. This story is part of a bundle that also includes bookmarks, character cards, stickers, a magnet, an art print ..read more
