Storm Boys: Boysenberry Valley High (6k words, 32 pages)

Cal Wexler has perfected the art of being invisible. Then Leon Yates storms into Boysenberry Valley High—a brooding new student with a reputation for trouble and a smile that leaves Cal completely undone. Between disastrous biology labs, awkward first conversations, and shared detention, an unexpected friendship blossoms into first love.

But falling for each other is only the beginning. When rumours spread and bullies take notice, Cal and Leon must decide whether hiding is worth losing the person who makes them feel truly seen. 

Funny, heartfelt, and irresistibly sweet, Storm Boys is an LGBTQ+ coming-of-age romance about first love, finding your courage, and discovering that being yourself is the bravest thing of all.
