What is LIKE RAIN about?
LIKE RAIN is about gay men from different cultures finding love in America. Heroes of LIKE RAIN are ordinary people like blue-collar workers, immigrants, and drifters who struggle with day-to-day life and finding their place in the world.
My biggest inspirations come from the TV series like QUEER AS FOLKS, LOOKING, and the musical RENT, as well as the erotica anthologies by Bob Vickery.
5 Reasons Why You Should Read “LIKE RAIN”
1. Diversity is the star
In the romance genre, men of color frequently face marginalization. In LIKE RAIN, they take center stage, win love, and break free from racial stereotypes.
2. Keeping it real
Written by a gay male author, LIKE RAIN reflects real-world gay issues such as coming out, discrimination, social stress, and self-acceptance.
3. A page-turner
The fast-moving pace and engaging plots will keep you hooked. LIKE RAIN wastes no time with overburdening descriptions and boring proses.
4. Alternating POVs
The main characters take turns driving their unique narrative, keeping things fresh, and propelling the story forward in an exciting momentum.
5. Labor of love
LIKE RAIN is created wholeheartedly by a passionate author. Every written word, every brushstroke, from the cover art to the last page, is a work of human endeavor. No AI is involved.

FAQs
I am a woman. Will I enjoy LIKE RAIN?
Although the intended audience is gay men, this series is popular among female readers. LIKE RAIN appeals to mature readers with an open mind, as it is a love story above all else.
Did you really paint all the covers and the artworks yourself?
Why, yes! I’m an artist first and foremost. I have a bachelor’s degree in illustration. I paint with stylus on digital softwares using 3D modeling and lighting integration.
What is the spice level?
A typical contemporary romance novel features 2-3 intimate scenes. LIKE RAIN falls within this range. Be prepared for explicit detail and coarse language.
Will there be LIKE RAIN book 4?
Not likely. Year 2025 was disastrous for me: heartbreak, depression, hospitalization, and financial loss. It took all the strength in me to finish book 3. I will take a break from writing.
Praises for LIKE RAIN
“I really enjoyed this book. Good world-building and realistic characters. I liked both Kai and Mikolaj. The dynamic between them was interesting and, along with their personalities, felt believable.”
– Nina D.
“With the character development and the shifting from one character to the other in each chapter, the book had a great flow. I very much enjoyed it and recommend it to others.”
– Nickolas
“I totally loved the first book and so I was so excited to read the second one. It did not disappoint! It kept me entertained throughout and I thought some of the larger lessons in this book made it even more relatable.”
– Mark
“The story is pretty steamy and definitely a slow-burn romance that develops naturally. It was refreshing to read, since the majority of KU romances are insta-love or borderline erotica.”
– Twentytoo
“The [second] book kept me entertained throughout and I enjoyed it very much. I would recommend it.”
– Brenda H.
“Kai and Mikolaj had to work for their HEA, but they did get one. I look forward to reading more books by this author.”
– Amber
“I will watch for more from this author. I find the varied cultural backgrounds of his characters to be interesting and I have learned things I didn’t know about these cultures.“
