A queer adult romance, pitched as THE PROSPECTS meets ICEBREAKER, following a non-binary pole vaulter’s journey at the Olympic Games, complicated further by their rival’s exceptional skill and infuriatingly handsome face.

C. Jacks Ellison is a queer writer from Michigan, who spends his time surrounded by books both professionally and leisurely. Though he graduated with a B.A. in American Sign Language Interpreting, he works as a Library Services Assistant. When not writing about anxious gays playing sports, CJ can be found quilting, making coffee, playing sudoku, and hanging out with his cats Viktor and Patroclus.More fun facts about CJ in no particular order of importance or intrigue: he plays the piano and a variety of other percussion instruments—notably marimba, was briefly an exchange student in Denmark, got straight married and gay divorced all before 25, figured out he had adhd at 22 and the neuropsychologist looked at the test results and said "you really didn't know until now?", will make a powerpoint for anything and everything, and can also quote a majority of The Lion King 1½ from memory.

Note from CJ: Hi there! I'm an amateur quilter currently making quilts and other crafts to raise money for my upcoming top surgery. Afterwards, I plan on finding a way to sell my fiber arts online. There's a lot going on this summer, so I don't know when that will happen for sure, but know the button you clicked to land here will likely lead somewhere else soon.In the meantime, if you want to see any progress pictures, I post them on my instagram stories.
