“Touching and poignant! You can’t fake that type of emotion and Klune manipulates emotion to his whim, taking the reader on a journey that many won’t ever forget.”
—Under the Covers Book Blog
Who We Are
“Intense, dramatic, passionate, endearing and realistic… they will pull you in and you’ll get completely lost…”
—MM Good Book Reviews
“I can’t thank TJ Klune nearly enough for bringing me this world which centers me and where I feel at peace, even through the drama, the tears, the laughter, the grief, the anger, and the love.”
—Rainbow Book Reviews
The Art of Breathing
“…you cannot read TJ Klune’s prose without fully understanding the emotional tidal wave that these lovable, loving people experience.”
—Prism Book Alliance
“Another outstanding addition to the Bear, Otter, and the Kid world. I can’t wait to see where our favorite family goes next.”

About the Author
When TJ KLUNE was eight, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write his first story (which turned out to be his own sweeping epic version of the video game Super Metroid—he didn’t think the game ended very well and wanted to offer his own take on it. He never heard back from the video-game company, much to his chagrin). Now, over two decades later, the cast of characters in his head have only gotten louder. But that’s okay, because he’s recently become a full-time writer and can give them the time they deserve.
Since being published, TJ has won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Romance, fought off three lions that threatened to attack him and his village, and was chosen by Amazon as having written one of the best GLBT books of 2011.
And one of those things isn’t true.
(It’s the lion thing. The lion thing isn’t true.)
