📚 New Release from Blue Dasher Press: Back Strokes by Wren Valentino

Just in time for the heat of summer comes the new edition of a heartwarming, romantic, and deeply emotional novel from bestselling author Wren Valentino. Blue Dasher Press is proud to announce the publication of Back Strokes, a gay summer romance about coming home, finding unexpected friendship, rediscovering passion, and—of course—falling in love.

Available now in paperback and ebook, Back Strokes is the perfect summer read for anyone who has ever lost their way only to discover that the answers were waiting back where they started.

🏡 About the Novel

After a prank at his prestigious Chicago music conservatory nearly ends his academic career, twenty-two-year-old pianist Crawford Paul returns to his sleepy Northern California hometown for what promises to be a dull, forgettable summer. With his scholarship in jeopardy and his future uncertain, he reluctantly takes the only job he can find: escorting a glamorous seven-year-old, Isabella, to her swim lessons at a local community pool.

What Crawford doesn’t expect is to meet Nina, a fiercely stylish nanny who finds kids exhausting and Crawford mildly tolerable. Nor does he anticipate the growing mentorship with the aging owner of a record store—someone who reignites Crawford’s passion for classical music and encourages him to pursue his truth through the piano once more.

As Crawford navigates love, friendship, grief, and second chances, he begins to realize that everything he thought he had to leave behind might just be what he was searching for all along.

✨ A Word from the Author

“Back Strokes started with a simple idea,” said Wren Valentino. “What happens when someone returns to the place they were desperate to escape, only to find that what they were chasing was always within reach—if they’d only been brave enough to look? Crawford’s journey is personal to me. I wanted to write a summer romance that didn’t shy away from the complications of life—illness, identity, missed chances—but still offered hope, beauty, and love at its core.”

💙 Themes of the Novel

Beyond romance, Back Strokes explores:

• A poignant subplot involving a beloved supporting character battling cancer

• The enduring impact of intergenerational friendship and mentorship

• The redemptive power of music and artistic self-expression

• The courage it takes to face your truth—and follow your heart

Whether you're looking for a heartfelt LGBTQ+ love story, a tale of self-discovery, or simply your next great summer read, Back Strokes is ready to dive into your heart.

More Than Just “I Do”: Using Weddings to Deepen Character and Drive Plot in Romance Novels

A wedding in a romance novel is never just a celebration, it’s a crucible. A turning point. A mirror. Whether it’s a swoon-worthy elopement in a Tuscan vineyard or a chaotic family affair in a backyard, weddings should do more than tie a pretty bow on a love story. They should push your characters. Force hard choices. Reveal their inner truths.

Here are some ways weddings can heighten drama, reveal depth, and offer your readers more than a Pinterest-perfect day.

Conflict at the Altar: Raising the Stakes

A wedding is the perfect setup for tension because it blends private love with public performance. Here are a few juicy conflicts to stir the pot:

The Family Divide: One character’s family refuses to attend, or worse, shows up and starts drama. This is especially poignant in the m/m romance, including the short stories and novels I write as Jaxon Sevyn. Often for characters, familial acceptance can be a central emotional beat. What does that absence—or painful presence—mean for the couple?

Cold Feet or Open Secrets: Maybe it’s not about if they love each other, but whether one partner feels ready to say yes forever. Or perhaps an ex shows up (uninvited, of course), holding onto a secret that threatens to upend everything.

Cultural Collision: Blending traditions, religions, or even expectations for what a wedding should look like can reveal deeper values—and values in conflict. When I’m working on a wedding scene, I ask myself: do both grooms envision the same future? Or is this wedding just the surface of a bigger compromise?

Out-of-Control Planning: One partner is overwhelmed, the other disconnected. It’s not about the flowers, it's about communication, priorities, and what each character needs to feel seen and supported.

Weddings Should Reflect the Couple—Not Just the Genre

Too often, weddings fall into a pattern: white dress, big venue, happy crowd. But like the lovers at the heart of your story, no two weddings should be the same.

Tone Match: A low-angst, small-town romance might call for a barefoot beach ceremony or courthouse vows. A high-drama, enemies-to-lovers saga could culminate in a lavish society wedding, one where everyone’s watching (and waiting) for it to fall apart.

Personality Reveal: A wedding planned by a control-freak character might be so structured it’s stifling… until their free-spirited partner throws in a last-minute surprise. What do their wedding choices say about how they’ve grown or what still needs to shift?

Setting as Symbolism: The location can carry deep emotional weight. Are they reclaiming a place tied to past trauma or celebrating somewhere completely new? For example, an m/m romance might frame a destination wedding as a chance to be fully out and visible, far from judgment.

A Wedding is a Climax But Also a Catalyst

In a well-crafted romance, the wedding should do more than wrap things up. It should reflect the journey the couple’s taken and hint at the road ahead.

Character Payoff: Did your characters earn this moment? Let readers feel the emotional arc as old fears are shed and new vows made. Even if the wedding goes off the rails, what matters is how the characters show up for each other.

Reader Experience: For queer love stories, a wedding can be a radical act, a celebration not just of love but of visibility, chosen family, and resilience. Make space for that. Lean into what makes this couple’s path unique, not just romantic.

Final Thought

A wedding isn’t just a promise, it’s a story in itself. As a romance writer, you have the power to make that story unforgettable, reflective of your characters, and resonant with your readers. So go ahead. Break a heel. Misplace a ring. Invite chaos and catharsis. Because when your characters say “I do,” your readers should be cheering not just for the kiss but for everything it took to get there.

The Magic of The Fall: When Characters Realize They're in Love

As a romance writer, there’s a particular thrill I experience when writing the moment when two characters realize they’re falling in love. It’s like catching lightning in a bottle—raw, beautiful, and completely alive. When I’m deep into the creative process, it’s that moment of revelation between them that feels like pure alchemy.

Maybe you know the one I’m talking about. It’s often a quiet moment. Maybe they’re simply talking, teasing each other the way they always do, and something about the way one of them smiles hits differently. Or perhaps they’re touching—hands brushing together or shoulders pressed close—and suddenly, that simple contact feels seismic. It’s the pulse-quickening recognition that this isn’t just a fling or a friendship with some lingering heat—it’s something deeper. Something worth chasing.

For me, as a writer of gay erotic romance, the fun part is peeling back the layers of each man’s vulnerability, desire, and hesitation. Writing queer love stories allows me to explore the different ways men love each other and how they express those feelings. It’s about more than physical attraction (though, let’s be real, that’s part of the fun, too). It’s about trust, connection, and the terrifying yet exhilarating possibility of being truly seen.

Sometimes, that moment of realization is messy and tangled with doubts—especially if one of them is still coming to terms with his own identity or has been hurt before. Other times, it’s blissfully simple, an undeniable moment of “Oh. It’s you.”

And the joy of writing that is addictive. Whether it’s a slow-burn romance that takes chapters upon chapters to reach that point, or a whirlwind love affair that crackles with intensity from the start, that magical moment is always a reward. It’s like reaching the summit of a climb and looking out to see something breathtaking and new.

I’ve found that it’s also one of the most relatable aspects of writing romance. Haven’t we all had that moment in real life? That exquisite panic where your heart catches and you think, This person. It’s them. Even if you don’t know where it’s all going, even if it’s just a glimpse of possibility, it feels like everything.

It’s why I keep writing. Because even when the characters are stubborn and the plot knots itself into a tangled mess, that moment when they fall is always worth it. Every. Single. Time.

I can’t wait to share my latest story with you, where two men find themselves caught off guard by love. Stay tuned—because their journey is just beginning.

Until next time,

Wren Valentino 🌈✍️

The Uniqueness of Being a Male Romance Writer

When people find out I write romance, one of the first things they say—after the polite surprise—goes something like, “Wait, really? You’re a guy?” There’s always a beat of curiosity, maybe even confusion. And honestly, I get it. For a long time, the romance genre has been seen as a women’s world—written by women, for women, about women. But that’s exactly why I find it so thrilling to be part of it.

Being a male romance writer is a bit like crashing a party you were never quite invited to—but once you're there, you realize you belong just as much as anyone else.

A Different Lens

I don’t claim to write better or worse than anyone else in the genre. But I do write differently, and that’s the beauty of it. My lens, my experiences, and my emotional toolkit shape how I tell stories of love, desire, longing, and connection. Whether I’m writing male protagonists, queer romance, or exploring gender dynamics, I bring my own rhythm to the dance.

It’s not about flipping the script—it’s about adding new pages to it.

Bridging Perspectives

I think being a male romance writer gives me a unique opportunity to bridge perspectives. I get to explore the inner worlds of characters—regardless of gender—in a way that often surprises readers. I can challenge tropes from the inside, add nuance to male characters who are more than just brooding billionaires or rugged cowboys, and write love interests who are sensitive, vulnerable, and emotionally rich.

Romance is an emotional genre. It’s about connection, trust, fear, intimacy, joy, heartbreak, hope. None of those feelings are gender-exclusive. And the more voices we bring into the conversation—men, women, non-binary writers—the richer and more real those stories become.

Sometimes It’s an Uphill Climb

That said, it isn’t always smooth sailing. I've had moments where people assumed I couldn’t possibly “get it” because I’m a man. Some industry spaces aren’t quite sure what to make of me. But I've also found that readers care most about the story—how it makes them feel, whether the love feels real, whether the characters stay with them after the last page.

And that's what keeps me writing.

A Love Letter to Love

At the end of the day, that’s what this is: a love letter to love. Romance isn’t just a genre. It’s the heart of every story where people find something meaningful in each other, where walls come down and healing begins. Being a male romance writer allows me to show that love is universal—and storytelling, like romance, belongs to all of us.

So if you’re a guy who wants to write romance, here’s my advice: do it. Bring your voice. Be bold, be heartfelt, be genuine. The genre has room for you. In fact, I think it needs you.

June Reflections: Stories, Screenplays, and Sunlight

As summer begins to shimmer on the horizon, I’m taking a moment to pause—between projects, between pages, between deadlines—and reflect on a month that’s already been full of meaning, momentum, and memory.

A Home of Her Own
One of the most exciting highlights this June has been the publication of my short story Home, which was recently honored as a finalist in the international Jane Austen Writing Contest. Home is a heartfelt imagining of what might follow Austen’s Northanger Abbey, reimagined through the eyes of Molly Hutchinson, a modern-day descendant of Catherine Morland. Molly’s journey from London to Bath, her encounter with the enigmatic Duke, and the looming presence of the Northanger estate all explore themes that I hold dear—lineage, longing, love, and the places that hold our histories. I’m so proud of this story and grateful for the readers who’ve already shared what it’s meant to them. If you’ve ever felt the pull of the past or the ache for belonging, Home is for you.

Introducing No-Sky July
Also new this month is the completion of my latest short play, No-Sky July. Set on a quiet, graffitied lot in Venice, California—where the legendary beatnik Gas House café once stood—this piece is especially personal. My own parents met at the beach as teenagers, not far from where the story unfolds. Like the characters Eleanor and Felix, I’ve always been captivated by the mythical and wild allure of Venice and the poetic weight of places that carry personal and cultural memory. No-Sky July is my love letter to that lineage, to those lost mornings, and to the unexpected connections that can shape our lives.

A Cinematic Double Feature
I also carved out time this month for two unforgettable film experiences: Final Destination: Bloodlines and the clever, emotionally resonant Jane Austen Wrecked My Life. The former was a reminder of how genre storytelling can still surprise and thrill, while the latter spoke directly to my literary heart. Both left me inspired to keep pushing boundaries in my own screenwriting and storytelling.

Workshops with Wren Launching June 21
If you're a writer—or someone who wants to be—mark your calendars! Workshops with Wren officially launches June 21 with a free virtual introductory session. These interactive sessions are built to support, inspire, and sharpen your creative voice, no matter where you are on your writing journey. With over two decades in the storytelling trenches, I can’t wait to share the insights, encouragement, and practical tools that have helped me write more than 70 stage plays, 21 novels, and eight screenplays. Come write with me—I’d love to see what you create.

Homecomings Comes to the Screen
I’m thrilled to officially announce that my short play Homecomings is being adapted into a short film, which I’ll be directing this September in my hometown of Sacramento. The film explores the emotional terrain of a laundromat reunion between two former high school rivals, played by the exceptional Hester Wagner and Desirae Velasquez. I wrote Homecomings as an exploration of forgiveness, faded glories, and the fragile hope of rediscovery. Seeing it come to life on screen—especially in a city that shaped me—is a creative homecoming in itself.

New Roles, New Voices
This month also brought new acting opportunities—both on screen and behind the mic. I’ve had the joy of working on several new voice acting projects (more on those soon!) and stepping into a few intriguing on-screen roles. Whether it’s stage, script, or studio, I remain endlessly grateful for the chance to tell stories in so many different ways.

A Summer of Stillness and Sunlight
As the days grow longer and warmer, I’m reminding myself (and maybe you too) of the importance of rest. I’ll be carving out some sacred space to recharge, reflect, and spend time with the people I love most. Creativity flourishes in stillness just as much as in hustle—and after a month like this one, a little stillness sounds just right.

Thank you for continuing to follow this journey—your messages, your support, your kindness mean more than I can ever express. Here's to a beautiful summer, filled with stories waiting to be told.

Warmly,
Wren
