Rainbow Award winner Garrett Leigh is a British
writer and book designer, currently working for Dreamspinner Press, Loose Id,
Riptide Publishing, and Black Jazz Press. Her protagonists will always always
be tortured, crippled, broken, and deeply flawed. Throw in a tale of enduring
true love, some stubbly facial hair, and a bunch of tattoos, and you’ve got
yourself a Garrett special.
When not writing, Garrett can generally be found
procrastinating on Twitter, cooking up a storm, or sitting on her behind doing
as little as possible. That, and dreaming up new ways to torture her
characters. Garrett believes in happy endings; she just likes to make her boys
work for it.
Garrett also works as a freelance cover artist
for various publishing houses and independent authors under the pseudonym G.D.
Leigh. For cover art info, please visit blackjazzpress.com

My Mate, Jack
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Cover Artist: G.D. Leigh
We've
got blurbage:
Will Barter’s been in love with his best mate
Jack for as long as he can remember. They’ve shared everything: love, life,
laughs, even Will’s first kiss. But Jack’s straight, and Will’s long-buried
infatuation means nothing until their last summer together draws to a close.
Then one night, everything changes, but with
Will bound for university in Leeds, and Jack for his dream DJ job in Ibiza,
there’s no time to explore their blurred lines. Before long all that’s left are
secrets, lies, and misunderstandings.
In the months that follow, anger and hurt
overshadow fifteen years of friendship, and Will must dig deep to remember Jack
is his mate… his best mate, and nothing matters more than that, right?

And a
sneak peek:
“So, are you game, or what?”
Will blinked. “Eh?”
Jack laughed. He lay back on Will’s bed and
folded his arms behind his head, all dark eyes and shaggy hair. “You’re such a
dreamer. No wonder you don’t notice any blokes. I was saying we could practice
kissing if you want. You know, so you’re not nervous next time the bottle lands
on you.”
This time Will couldn’t stop the beer going down
the wrong way. He coughed. “Next time? What are you going to do? Out me to the
whole school by snogging my face off? I’d rather smooch the girls.”
“Liar.” But Jack looked sheepish all the same.
“Okay, maybe we shouldn’t mess around in front of other people, but I still
reckon you should try your techniques out on me. Ginny says I’m the best kisser
in the whole school, and she should know.” Jack swooned and pitched into a fit
of weed-fueled giggles.
Will dove at him and pushed him off the other
side of the bed. “It’s not funny, arsehole. I’m the only gay in the whole
bloody town. I’m going to die a virgin at this rate.”
Jack hit the floor with a thump. He lay there a
moment, still laughing, then hauled himself back onto the bed. “Chill out,
mate. No one said anything about bonking.”
Will tried to grin. Chill out. Yeah, right. Jack had been taking the piss since that
stupid bloody bottle had put the idea of them kissing in his daft head. “You’re
not funny.”
Jack sobered and stared with an expression Will
couldn’t decipher. “I wasn’t joking, at least not about the kissing part. We’re
friends, right? Ginny and Meg snog all the time.”
He had a point. The girls were always messing
around with each other, and Will had often watched them and maligned the fact
that girls had it easy... from his point of view, at least. They could do
whatever they wanted and no one cared. It would be a different story if Will
jumped on Jack in the middle of the park. Snogged his face off and squeezed his
arse.
So why
not do it here? No one will ever know.
