Hey y'all,

Happy December! I'm not sure, but I feel like Winter is bullying Fall. It was mild, however, after Thanksgiving those temps dropped. I guess it's preparing for the holiday season as well.

I'm still getting used to my new Mac, but it's almost business as usual as I'm gearing up for the holiday. How about you?

What's going on?

I recently received the opportunity to add another book event to my schedule. I'm excited to join the Coastal Magic family in Daytona Florida in February 2025. I'd love to see you there. Check the website for tickets and other information. http://www.CoastalMagicConvention.com

Writing update

I'm still actively writing Nikki and Ash's story as well as keeping Draft Pick Season IV: Vitaly going. If you haven't heard, new Draft Pick episodes are now exclusively on my Patreon. So, if you'd like to get caught up, join us! We have some great discussions and would be happy to have you there.

In other news, I've also been writing under a second pen name. 😱. Yep. If you didn't know, I have a second pen name, Midnight Locke, which I launched last year on Kindle Vella. So far, the stories under that pen name are erotic shorts. So, not romance. Romantic elements, but not romance, so no HEA.

My first release under that pen name is scheduled for December 23rd of this month. 😳. Here's just a smattering of the tropes/scenarios.

Since Sexy Scenarios is complete and ready for release, I'll be sending out ARCs soon. As I did with a previous release, I'm linking a sign up form below. If you're interested in receiving an ARC, please fill it out. Spaces are limited. So, I suggest doing so as soon as you're able.

Please note the following prior to accepting: The book is a collection of erotic short stories. There are no defined HEA, because they aren't romances. They are VERY spicy. In some instances, the stories are darker than what I write under my Darie McCoy pen name, and there are elements of Dubious Consent. There's also an MMF story (with crossing swords). Various tropes and kinks are explored. If either of those things would bother you, I understand if you choose not to sign up.

That's all for now.

Thank you for rocking with me!

Sexy Scenarios: Volume I

Enter a world where a wife suggests to her husband that he allows her to pick a girlfriend for him, and the result is her living a night she’s never experienced with the man she married…and a few guests. Or take a foray into a place where a woman’s lawyer gets her more than she dreamed in the divorce, then gives her everything else in one passion-filled night.  

You could also journey into outer space as a woman falls asleep in her own bed on New Year’s Eve and wakes to find herself the unfortunate…or fortunate…guest of an alien who’s decided she’s perfect for his particular needs. Perhaps you enjoy a delightful fairy tale retelling. One where the Big Bad Wolf eats Red just like he’s supposed to.

Sexy Scenarios Volume One is a collection of erotic short stories. There are numerous tropes covered, from exhibitionism to alien abduction, cheating boyfriend, mean boss, mafia, and brother’s best friend. This volume began as a series of erotic shorts on Kindle Vella and was expanded to include additional stories. These steamy shorts are perfectly bite sized for someone who wants a steamy read, but doesn’t have a lot of spare time.

When home isn’t just a place.

Former Army Ranger Rothschild 'Roth' Stephens has found comforting peace in the vast, tranquil expanse of his Texas ranch. Scarred both physically and emotionally from his time in the service, Roth prefers his own quiet company, filling his days with the grueling, rhythmic chores of ranch life.

However, her work life has become untenable. Circumstances bring her home where she faces old memories, along with the man who witnessed the most horrible day of her life. Roth Stephens. Her brother’s best friend.

When they meet again, they both attempt to ignore their draw to one another. However, Autumn is forced to seek Roth’s help. The sparks they’d tried to deny existed, ignite. What starts as a simple favor soon evolves into a deeper connection as they confront their pasts and navigate the complexities of their emotions.  

Roth finds a different kind of peace with Autumn. But, can he hold on to it? What will it take for them to realize the home they seek is with each other?

Detective Masterson: Hear No Evil

In the summer of 1979, an unknown assailant murdered my sister. The devastation that careless act caused my family was almost insurmountable. The unsolved case changed the course of all our lives forever, and the aftermath I grew up in left scars that never healed. It led me on a path of seeking justice for families who had loved ones ripped away from them like mine had.

Four and a half decades later, I am a homicide detective with the Austin Police Department. I have garnered a reputation for being a no-nonsense, laser-focused, rough-around-the-edges, by-the-book officer. However, my partner and I have a high solvability rate. When our lieutenant assigned us a case on Valentine’s Day, I knew from the brutality of the crime that this investigation would differ from any other I worked on.

When Xolani, the owner of Intricate Nails, witnesses the perpetrator leaving the scene, she fears she could be next on his list. The more time I spent with her, the more I realized she was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, but she, on the other hand, had her reservations about me.

As we try to navigate our developing relationship, more murders are happening, and old cases prove Austin has been a killing ground for a serial killer for a decade. As my partner and I close in on this monster, he turns his focus on Xolani. Can I keep her out of the hands of evil, or will he force the darkness that lurks inside of me to the surface?
