The Island Festival

It’s time to get a life. 

Dair swore off all things brave and adventurous after his high-school promposal went embarrassingly, publicly wrong ten years ago. When the invite to his school reunion lands in his inbox, he decides it’s time to get a life—to prove to his ex-classmates that he’s a new person. 

He throws himself heart-first into a new flat, online dating, and learning an instrument. Unfortunately, his music teacher not only has fabulously sexy thighs, but is dead-set on Dair joining their brass band and performing a solo at the next concert. New, adventurous Dair can’t say no. 

But as the performance (and the reunion) approach, it’s only a matter of time before his anxiety catches up to him.

A queer, high-heat romance about an anxious homebody and his non-binary music teacher, who fall in love while navigating a school reunion, a fledgling brass band, a TTRPG campaign, and the struggle of shedding maladaptive mindsets and finding your song.
