Jay Bell creates emotionally charged stories about boys who love boys. His bestselling novel, Something Like Summer, launched a critically acclaimed series and led to a big‑screen adaptation. The covers of the Something Like… books are illustrated by his husband, Andreas, who inspires the author by being so darn adorable. Jay has gone on to write many other works—including Kamikaze Boys, a Lambda Literary Award‑winning novel—while drawing on his experiences as a gay man.
