Ready for a New Book Boyfriend?
đź’žHello my wonderful reader friends!
Something new!
I'll be putting the first book in the new SPU Players series on Kindle Vella, the new serial reading App!
The new book, I Want to Know What Love Is, will be featured on Kindle Vella for a short period before I publish it in Kindle Unlimited. You can think of it as a pre-order that you get to read one snippet at a time. Like excerpts in my newsletter...
Speaking of which, you get EXCLUSIVE Snippet #2 today from Bad Man on Campus! đź’ž
We're out and about, waiting for the warm weather to pop and admiring the budding flowers. Also waiting for the water to come up in the lake because 'they' drain it every winter to a low level exposing stumps and rocks. It should be soon. Then "mud season" will be over and it'll feel more like spring.🌺
What Am I Reading? This week I'm listening to The End Zone by L.J. Shen, a college sports friends to lovers romance.

BAD MAN ON CAMPUS
a Second Chance Hockey Romance
SNIPPET #2
“This isn’t any old hot date, guys. This is Glory Rose, the girl I let get away—”
“Glory Rose? Never heard of her.” Fitz frowns.
“I know. She just starting at SPU and she’s coming over.” I play it cool, but it’s her first night on campus and I’m already angling to have her spend the night, already plunging straight to the bottom of the deep end of the pool. My chest tightens with the fear-tinged excitement.
“And you’re just telling us now?” Brick says.
“She’s from back home?” Fritz says.
“My high school sweetheart,” I say, not wanting to dredge up the ugly parts of our past, and ruin the upward trajectory of more than my mood.
“You didn’t say a word about her in the last three years. But I have to admit, it was obvious there was someone you weren’t over,” Fitz declares, sure he knows me. Telling him the whole story about Glory and the shared tragedy that separated us all this time would no doubt shock him, but mostly because he wouldn’t be able to imagine keeping something so big quiet all this time.
“Yeah—what happen to break you up?” Brick asks with nothing but careless curiosity in his tone as he shuffles the cards.
“Long sad story that I’m not telling tonight.” Or any night any time soon. “But Fitz is right. I never got over her. We were together since seventh grade.” Until the summer after graduation.
“Then it’s good you got a break from her,” Brick says, no doubt thinking he’s being sensitive. “Tested the waters to make sure you weren’t missing anything.”
I snort. “That was a fail.”
“Don’t tell Phoebe that,” Fitz says.
“Phoebe and I weren’t going anywhere.”
“Maybe not. But she’s not happy about it,” Fitz says, slight furrow between his brows, as usual.
“Unrequited love is a bitch,” Brick says, dismissing Phoebe. I wonder if he knows first-hand. But my thoughts are interrupted by a loud crash outside, the unmistakable sound of a high impact and metal crunching, followed by a blaring horn.

Bad Man on Campus Playlist
To really sink into the emotions and let them have their way with you, to make you feel like you are living in the characters’ skins, I highly recommend you listen to these songs while you read–before and after too!
Guilty by Paloma Faith is especially inspiring and appropriate for the song, for Glory Rose.
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by The Animals
