His most recent release is the anthology Dudes Rock, a collection of speculative fiction celebrating queer masculinity he edited that was published on January 10th this year. You can find him online under the handle @jellicle_jay on X and Instagram, @jelliclejay.bsky.social on Bluesky, or on his website at jaykangromanus.com.
