Thank you so much!
Bear Care is a work of fiction, but the emotions within it are very much based on my own early experiences with queer dating.
People kept asking me for a sequel to Yoga Bear. I told them I didn't
want to write one. It's a fairy tale, I thought. You're not supposed to find out what happens after the lovers ride off to the sunset together.
But then I thought about it some more. What if it wasn't a fairy tale?
The truth is that I haven't read very many MLM stories that resonate with me on a personal level. Most of them either straight up ignore or eagerly embrace the gay hookup culture, and while there's absolutely nothing wrong with either approach, they are not something I can relate to.
So I decided to write something I could relate to. I wrote Bear Care.
