REVERENT: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DIVINITY
expected Feb. 28, 2025

A collection of stories, poetry, and non-fiction dedicated to the divine.
Divinity exists in everything. Divinity exists everywhere. In the past, present and future. In the minuscule and the grand. From fantastical realms and worlds of depth to what lives and suffers in our very own reality. From the gods above, to the girl sitting by your side. Divine. It's all divine. And this anthology is but a capsule of what divinity means in the interpretations and eyes of these authors.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

RAISING THE BAR
novel — drafting
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.

For folks writing identity-focused round-ups: CJ is a gay transgender man, with ADHD, and uses he/him pronouns.
His name can be written as "CJ" or "C.J." interchangeably, unless on the front of a book cover.more to come :)
