Hi, I’m Marco. A queer Latino author from LA, and this is my first self published book, Unfinished Christmas. 🎄 if you would like to support an upcoming indie author: please consider sharing this, liking this, following along, or grabbing a copy (available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo). by @yourfriendlyobsession

Legend has it he’s still reading on a beach somewhere… by @yourfriendlyobsession

Let’s not bury the lead. I wrote a book!! 🖊️

A real, tangible book you can hold in your hands, and it’s coming out with a paperback and ebook version on October 15th!

UNFINISHED CHRISTMAS started as a seed two and a half years ago, one I watered and nurtured with a few core elements in mind: keep it saccharine, wholesome, unapologetic, and keep queer joy front and center.

What it’s about: Ten years ago, they were childhood sweethearts and each others first kiss. Today they’re total strangers.

Grieving candlemaker Wyatt Bradley, just wants to survive the holiday rush in peace. High-strung tech heir Charlie Sūn wants to reclaim the pieces of himself he left behind in Nashville. When a chaotic reunion leaves a pricey piece of tech destroyed, a petty contract forces them together and s*it hits the fan in all the best (and worst) ways.

Expect: second chance romance, forced proximity, found family, childhood friends to lovers to enemies, cozy holiday romance vibes

Self publishing has been equal parts terrifying and exciting, but Charlie and Wyatt’s story needed to be out in the world. At a time where we need queer joy the most, their story is needed as an antidote to these heavy times.

Out now!!

Paperback available on Amazon (globally) and Barnes and Noble (in the U.S.)!
Ebook available on Kindle (globally) and Kobo (globally)!

NYC isn’t so bad 🗽 💗 📚 👻 by @yourfriendlyobsession

I wouldn’t be in the position to self-publish my debut gay romance, Unfinished Christmas, without such iconic books like these.

Queer literature and queer romance are everything to me, and I’m so hopeful that my book has a similar uplifting and heartwarming effect on readers.

Out October 15th (link in bio to pre order + order) ♥️
