I’m not sure I have a favorite couple among all the MM romances I’ve written, but I do know Callum and Brody, along with the entire supporting cast Colliding Spirits brought to life, will always hold a special place in my heart. #mmbooks #mmromance #booksky #gay #gaybooks

If you look closely, you may see how this location became the inspiration and basis of the cover of my latest book, Wanderer. #lovestory #mmromance #gay #loveislove #booksky #sandiego #california

The attraction was instant. But their differences were too great. Could an aging sailboat be the bridge between them that spans the gap? Meet Addison Beaumont and Kieren Hayes… and Wanderer, the 1977 Catalina 30 sailboat that brings them together. #wanderer #mmromance #lovestory #gay #Booksky

I guess I’ve written a few books now. I have no idea which couple (or throuple) I love most. Fun Fact: Did you know all my books are based in San Diego county? #mmromance #booksky #sandiego #mlm #gayromance

One of us spends an hour or so a day running along the shore. The other works out in a gym. Can you figure out which is which? I’m on the left. #husbands #mlm #gaycouples #runners #tans

I’m not particularly bothered when a stranger in the hotel across the street sees me in my bedroom naked. I am a little offended, however, when they immediately close their drapes. #mylife #downtown #sandiego #california #author

Anyone that knows me knows the horror I felt when this book arrived anonymously at my house. Then I opened it… Now I just have to figure out which of my asshole friends sent it to me. #funny #humor #horror #books #friends

BTW it Landon from this book. I glanced over, looking at his long, slim fingers meticulously picking from the bag. Ever since I’d known him, he’d only eat the blue, red and green ones—saying the others were “icky.”

Find that one person that thinks you’re weird but will still eat the icky ones. I only eat the red, green and blue ones. He eats the icky brown, yellow and orange ones. Know which book I wrote this into? #couples #gay #mmromance #author #weido #booksky

The Shape of a Blake Howell Romance You spend more time inside a character’s emotional temperature than on exterior mechanics. Even in big moments, weddings, fights, sex, confrontations, the camera keeps drifting back to heartbeats, doubts, relief, devotion. www.sdblake.com/2026/02/the-...
