Kitchen Cabinet: Simmering Legacy, Spicy Love, and Small-Town Power Plays (The Unapologetics Series)
In Ridgewood, everybody talks. Nobody tells the truth.
Behind every polished campaign speech, every charity gala, and every perfectly manicured small-town reputation… there’s a real conversation happening somewhere else.
Usually in the kitchen.
The Kitchen Cabinet pulls readers into a world of political influence, generational legacy, whispered strategy sessions, and forbidden attraction simmering beneath the surface of a town obsessed with appearances. Set against the backdrop of old money, local power, and carefully protected secrets, the story explores what happens when ambition and desire collide behind closed doors.
Because in Ridgewood, power isn’t always decided at the podium.
Sometimes it’s decided over whiskey, side-eyes, and conversations nobody was meant to overhear.
And sometimes the most dangerous thing in town isn’t the scandal.
It’s falling for the wrong person while everybody’s watching.
Unapologetic Voices

Release Date

Confessions of a Repeat Offender
A raw, ruthless, darkly funny confession from a man who made pleasure his hobby and detachment his armor.
Release Date
November 25, 2025
Meet Cameron — charming, reckless, loyal to his friends, and emotionally unavailable by choice.
Relationships? No thanks.
Hookups? Olympic sport.
In this unapologetic, high-heat, high-chaos memoir-style fiction, Cameron tells the truth the way most people avoid it: directly, shamelessly, and with receipts.
This book dives into the habits, the rules, the hookups, the disasters, the patterns, and the one thing he refuses to admit: maybe he’s been running from himself all along.
Confessions of a Repeat Offender is messy, honest, addictive, and absolutely unwilling to pretend to be something it isn’t — just like Cameron.

Release Date
March 20, 2026
People will build entire versions of you…
without ever having a conversation with you.
They’ll label you.
Simplify you.
Explain you to other people like they’ve got you fully figured out.
They don’t.
Whisper About Me Louder is what happens when you stop editing yourself for other people’s comfort—and start owning your story without apology.
It’s honest.
It’s direct.
And it doesn’t ask for permission.
Because the truth is:
You don’t owe anyone a smaller version of yourself
just because it makes them more comfortable.
And the moment you realize that?
The whispers stop mattering.

Release Date
November 1, 2025
Out. Again. is August Quinn’s raw, intimate, and unfiltered memoir about what it actually means to come out — not once, but over and over across a lifetime. This isn’t a single “I’m gay” moment. It’s a constellation of truths: sexuality, grief, marriage, identity, faith, closets inside closets, and the daily work of choosing honesty in a world that keeps asking for silence.
It’s personal, political, spiritual, and deeply human — told with humor, Jersey grit, and a kind of honesty that leaves marks.

Zach Quinn thought he’d left politics behind—until Ridgewood dragged him back in.
When local leaders push him to run for mayor, his carefully rebuilt life with his husband, Matthew, is thrust into the spotlight. Old campaign files resurface, including one he hoped would stay buried, and the press smells blood.
As scandals go viral and trust starts to crack, Zach is forced to face the man he used to be—and decide what he’s willing to lose to move forward.
The One Who Was Supposed to Be Straight
He wasn’t supposed to want this. I wasn’t supposed to wait.
Release Date
February 10, 2026
Jake doesn’t fall in love.
He manages risk.
He’s good at it, too—keeping things light, keeping exits clean, never staying long enough for desire to turn into damage. Visibility is dangerous. Need is worse. And commitment? That’s just another word for loss.
Then there’s Matt.
Matt was supposed to be straight.
He was also supposed to be off-limits.
He’s his best friend Emily’s brother—steady, observant, and entirely unimpressed by Jake’s carefully managed distance. Matt doesn’t panic when things get complicated, and he refuses to make himself smaller just to be easier to keep.
As attraction turns into something heavier, Jake finds himself facing a problem he can’t outmaneuver: Matt doesn’t respond to distance the way he’s supposed to. The rules Jake has lived by for years stop working. And for the first time, leaving feels like the bigger risk.
When an unexpected opportunity threatens to pull them apart, Jake must decide whether choosing someone once is enough—or whether staying means learning how to choose again, without guarantees.
The One Who Was Supposed to Be Straight is a slow-burn M/M romance about confidence, control, and the quiet courage it takes to stay present when walking away would be easier.
This is Book One in a continuing series.
The choice is only the beginning.
Alpha Wisdom
Rebooted at 50
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a reboot.
This unapologetic memoir dives into starting over at fifty: careers unraveled, closets emptied, love rediscovered, and chaos embraced. With humor, grit, and zero apologies, it’s proof that reinvention doesn’t come with an expiration date—just a Wi-Fi password and the guts to log back in.
Tapping at 50
Left, right, block, repeat.
Dating apps at twenty are chaotic. At fifty? They’re Olympic-level. This no-filter memoir swipes through the world of midlife hookups—ghosts, thirst traps, torso pics, and the occasional disaster date—with humor, grit, and a little too much lube. More than a guide, it’s proof that desire doesn’t retire just because you hit half a century.
Unapologetic at 50
Midlife, but louder.
August Quinn’s loud, funny, and deeply honest memoir tackles grief, politics, reinvention, and the kind of laughter that sneaks in when you least expect it. With two dogs providing a running commentary, this book doubles as a manifesto: stop shrinking, start taking up space—the unapologetic life is yours too.
Leaving Rome : Finding Grace Without Apology
If you’ve ever felt the holy water sting more than it soothed, this one’s for you.
Leaving Rome isn’t about packing bags or boarding flights—it’s about walking out of a church that tried to tell me who I was, and choosing to believe in myself instead. This book is my unapologetic break-up letter to dogma dressed as divinity, a raw and sassy testimony that grace doesn’t live in marble cathedrals but in queer bodies that refuse to shrink.
GOD DOESN’T MAKE MISTAKES
A powerful, emotional, and ultimately hopeful story about faith weaponized, identity reclaimed, and chosen family found in the ashes.
He was sent to conversion camp.
They expected it to break him.
Instead, he found out who he actually was.
God Doesn’t Make Mistakes follows a young man forced into a “pray the gay away” program that fails spectacularly. After escaping, he rebuilds his life with the help of a new chosen family — messy, loving, loud, and exactly what he needed.
This book is both a survival story and a celebration: a reminder that faith isn’t the weapon — people are. And identity was never the mistake.
If you’ve ever been told you’re wrong for who you are… this book is the hug, the scream, the release, and the reclamation you deserved back then.
Bulldog Books
Straight. Accidently.
Accidentally straight. Intentionally uncomfortable.
I went to bed gay.
I woke up married. With kids. A grill. And strong opinions about lawn care I absolutely did not consent to developing.
This isn’t a romance.
It isn’t fantasy.
It’s a satirical thought experiment about comfort, identity, and how easy it is to drift into a life that looks perfect but doesn’t quite fit.
Also yes — the bulldog on the cover absolutely stole the show. I’ve accepted my supporting-character status.
Who Saved Who? (We Did)
A Chaotic Midlife Rescue Story About Love, Hope, and the Bulldog Who Refused to Quit on Us.
Sometimes you save the dog.
Sometimes the dog saves you harder.
Who Saved Who? (We Did) is a tender, hilarious, and absolutely unhinged midlife memoir about finding family in the most unexpected place: a wrinkly, stubborn, judgmental bulldog who somehow knew exactly what we needed.
This book is a love letter to rescue dogs, to the messy humans who try their best, and to the chaotic homes that become sanctuaries one fart at a time. It celebrates second chances, soft landings, and the kind of loyalty only a dog can give without conditions.
If you’ve ever wondered who rescued who… yeah, this book has opinions.
Hung Up
What happens when your dick pic becomes your destiny?
When Derrick accidentally goes viral, chaos follows: sponsorships, scandals, and a roommate who won’t stop rolling his eyes. But what starts as a joke between friends unravels into a laugh-out-loud, steamy love story about fame, friendship, and finding the courage to answer when love calls.
Hung Up: The Prequel
Because chaos was never the problem.
It was always the beginning.
Hung Up: The Prequel is the messy, hilarious origin story behind the madness. Catholic guilt, bad decisions, questionable fashion, and the moment Derrick crashes into Max’s life—setting off everything that follows.
Short. Chaotic. Unapologetic.
You didn’t need this book. But it explains everything.
Hung Up 2: Wrecked & Married
The wedding’s tiny, the chaos is massive.
From sparkly Crocs at the altar to a bulldog ring bearer who steals the show, Max and Derrick’s “I do” is just the beginning. Honeymoon mushrooms, viral dog videos, and family dinners that nearly end in arson turn this sequel into a wild, heartfelt ride. A love story about marriage, mayhem, and the queer family you build when the internet won’t stop watching.
