Always a pleasure helping my mate @v8sheppard.bsky.social shoot and photograph promotional material.

This time we staged a small reading of part of his upcoming novel YEAH THE BOYS inside the iconic perthsteamworks .

For those that know the Steamworks, you’ll understand exactly why 🤭

For all those asking: no I did not do the gay sauna reading nekkid.

But I did take this shot in the showers.

Big thanx to Mike Drummond at PSW for letting me do this, and Michael Facey for your tech skillz.

Only downside is the reading is so explicit I'm not sure any socials will let us post it lol.

Stay tuned, I hope to find a way to share this!

I went to a gay male sauna today to read a scene from YEAH THE BOYS.

The scene's set in a bathhouse so it was sick to visit Perth Steam Works to record it.

YTB is a punk resistance to the cultural sanitisation of us homos, so this was the most dirty gay grunge collab I could think of. YTB! ♂️♂️💪💪

YEAH THE BOYS is my punk rock book & my only political book.

It is a celebration of masculinity & brotherhood.

It's about gay culture & the need for gay male-only spaces.

It is about men's mental health & men supporting each other.

It is about the first gay male AFL player.

It's out in 9 days!

First podcast interview for Yeah the Boys done ✅️💪

I have a new blog post up today on Loose Units, answering a bunch of reader-submitted questions. Today I talk about why I'm a therapy junkie, writing tips, and the gayest thing I've ever done.

I wanna give a massive shoutout to Fremantle Press today as they celebrate 50 years of publishing WA books.

When no other publishers wanted to take on INVISIBLE BOYS, Freo Press did. I am eternally grateful to them for giving me the Hungerford Award in 2018 & everything that came from that.

And thanx to everyone who's said nice things about this reco. I didn't realise how prestigious the Peabody is but it's like the Pulitzer Prize for Entertainment(!!). And I'm hoping this nomination is what breaks IB in the US. Let's hope they feel like giving the prize to the big gay bogan show. 😄🤙

Talking Peabody award nomination on two breakfast radio interviews on Triple M this morning!

I did make the point it's not me personally nominated for the Peabody but INVISIBLE BOYS which had 300 cast and crew lots of them from WA. So as much as the story is mine this is a massive team effort. 🙌
