On the last day of Pride Month, a book feature from my publisher on their social media!

Misgivings aside, I’m quite proud of this story collection which I share with Shakira Sison. DON’T TELL ANYONE: LITERARY SMUT, from Anvil Publishing, is an anthology composed of five erotic lesbian stories [Kia’s] and five erotic gay stories [mine]. I wrote these stories in the mid-2010s, although I knew I could not publish them anywhere. There was just no way a magazine would publish an erotic story, much more a gay one. The only place for them was a book, and I’m glad Andrea Pasion-Flores [before she became the big boss of Milflores Books] accepted them for publication.

Every time someone asks me, “Where do I start with your stories?,” I always tell them, “If you’re brave enough, try my gay porn.”

But it’s not really porn, hehehe: it’s more elevated than that. It’s about passion and longing and the humanity of heartbreak. Trust me.

One story in it, “The Boys From Rizal Street,” has gotten so popular, it’s anthologized internationally and translated to other languages, too!

Get the book on Shopee here.
