KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (Sept 7, 2020) — Franklin/Kerr Press is pleased to announce the release of award-winning and Amazon bestselling author Jordon Greene′s sophomore young adult novel, "Watching for Comets" under our new imprint F/K Teen. The novel will be released on December 8, 2020.

"As a gay man who grew up closeted for thirty years, it′s extremely important to me for there to be LGBT literature out there for today′s youth," Jordon said about why he wrote his second LGBT YA novel. "We need more stories that are both readily available and relatable for teens who desperately need to know they are seen, they are normal, and they can have the same crazy love story anyone else can. That′s what Watching for Comets is. Whereas A Mark on My Soul showcased the grim realities of how hate and prejudice can harm young lives, Watching for Comets exists to show the beautiful possibilities that LGBT youth have every right to experience. But, it′s also a story of healing and overcoming."

The story centers around Tyler Gentry and Aidan Molina, whose boyfriend and BFF, respectively, dies in a car accident months before the story begins. The two boys are former friends, but misunderstanding continues to divide them until one night brings them together and their deceased (boy)friend′s passion to see a passing comet puts them on an unlikely journey, together.

"Watching for Comets" releases December 8, 2020 in paperback, hardback and eBook formats, and is available for preorder on Amazon. The paperback version will be available at $12.99 and the hardback will be available for $19.99, both from most major online retailers. The eBook will be available on Amazon Kindle for $3.99.
