Praise for GRAND SLAM ROMANCE

"Funny, tender, and magical, Grand Slam Romance captures the complicated messiness of an old romance reignited by a new rivalry. A comical and endearingly relatable story!"
-Sloane Leong, author of A Map to the Sun

"Dyke drama, magic, and a heavy dose of queer horniness? Put me in, coach! Grand Slam Romance is full of loveable characters with cool undercuts and laugh-out-loud jokes that'll make anyone - even the least sporty among us - think about picking up a bat."
-Archie Bongiovanni, author of The Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns and Mimosa
