Weekend Update!
Jan 17, 2026 5:11 pm
Hi everyone! I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. I will be cleaning and writing LOL the exciting life I lead. I did book the hotel for the Rainbow Bookfest in York UK October 10. I've never been to York so I'm very excited to visit this area and explore it. I'm also going to be at the Sacramento Book Festival on April 19 if you're in the Sacramento area. https://www.sacramentobookfestival.com/ Admission is FREE and there are many authors attending
I hope I see some of you at one of them or at a convention soon!
I'm still watching The Pitt, I was shocked when I got to episode 12 and realized it was all the same day!! It's very good if you're into hospital drama. I'm also still watching Heated Rivalry becasue I don't think I've watched it enough times yet LOL.
I'm SO close to the ending of Digging. I thought I could get away with one more chapter and an epilogue, but no such luck. There will be two more chapters then an epilogue. The chapter today is one of those chapters. Then I'll send it to my wonderful editor and put up a preorder for the complete book for a release probably in March.
Digging Chapter Thirty-Three: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/5lmhl8500b

Driving in the rain, on his way to a delivery, Bobby Sanders is focused on the road, when a flash of blue light in the distance catches his eye. He witnesses a bolt of lightning strike a man running on the road ahead of him.

The Lonely Heroes Series Spinoff
Power Players Book 2
https://books2read.com/TheLobbyist
What happens to a powerful man when he becomes a moving target? A hero must emerge to remove the bullseye from his back! Welcome to Washington, DC, where the Power Players are more intriguing than anything happening under the Capitol Dome.
Lobbyist Sean Fitzpatrick is a force on Capitol Hill, crusading for the rights of those in need of a champion. Women. Minorities. His own rainbow community. He doesn’t back down from a fight, even though sometimes his means to an end aren’t exactly ethical.
When he finds out his assistant and sometimes friend-with-benefits is shopping his dirty laundry to the highest bidder, Sean takes the matter in hand and fires the young man. A few days later, Sean’s car blows up in the garage of his office building, bringing Sean into the spotlight in a very unflattering way.
Jericho Hess served his country until an accident brought about his medical discharge. The desire to serve his country doesn’t disappear as he fights his personal demons, and when he gets a chance to be of service to someone who needs protection, he steps in at the urging of a few Lonely Heroes.
Upon meeting Sean Fitzpatrick, Jericho is attracted to the man’s no-nonsense approach to grabbing life by the balls and hanging on, devil be damned. Can Jericho, a real-life cowboy, ever adjust to the man’s sometimes caustic attitude and keep the man alive, even though Jericho would like to strangle him on occasion. Could Sean ever enjoy life on the ranch without all the trappings of his free-wheeling Washington, DC, lifestyle?
The Senator
Power Players Book 1
In the nation’s capital, if someone isn’t scratching your back, they’re stabbing it. Can Spencer recover from a devastating professional loss? What does the future hold for his marriage, and will he ever learn the identity of the person responsible for outing him?

MM Romance | Trust Issues | Self-Exile | Hidden Identity | German Professor | Russian Mafia Son
✮✮ ✮ ✮
Adrik Marinov spent his life running from a mafia throne he never wanted. Raised in the shadows by a ruthless Russian father, he learned to lead with violence and trust no one. He finally walked away from the family empire, but he couldn’t forget who he was. Restless and guarded, he was a man looking for an escape, haunted by the fear that he’d never be free as long as his father was still breathing.
Hans Schoroeger was a quiet professor living in Germany who thought his heart was safer behind books than with a person. He had traded heartbreak for books and the ocean, convincing himself he was better off alone. Deep down, he still craved to be someone’s “only choice.”
One is running from a Russian crime empire. The other is a professor/novelist who gave up on happy endings.

A Daddy for Christmas 3: Benson

Grumpy Sunshine Truck Driver Hitchhiker Daddy Kink Hurt & Comfort MM Xmas Romance Age Gap
***
**
****
*
Thirty-year-old Benson McCoy hides behind a veil of precision and routine, his cab a sanctuary of order where every item has its place and every stop is timed to the minute. Beneath his tight-lipped smiles and mechanical schedule lies a man aching with loneliness, haunted by the time he never carved out for connection. As he hauls a load of toys cross-country from New York to Los Angeles, trapped in a cycle of work and his father’s expectations, Benson quietly yearns for something or someone to disrupt his solitude. He doesn’t expect that someone to be Kyle Foster, a charming storm of disarray who might just upend Benson’s rigid world and uncover the tenderness he’s tried so hard to bury.
Twenty-two-year-old Kyle, impulsive and reckless, runs from the chaotic mess of his own making with the sounds of sirens faintly echoing in the distance. Kyle shows up on the shoulder of some frozen NYC highway, hitchhiking toward California with half a plan and a backpack full of chaos. If anyone needs a daddy, it’s Kyle. He asks too many questions, laughs too loud, and doesn’t know how to shut down his heart or his mouth. Kyle’s presence is a messy explosion of honest emotion, impossible to ignore his whirlwind of unfiltered energy.
They hit the icy roads together—two strangers, one rig, and a growing tension neither of them knows what to do with. Between awkward silences, cheap diner meals, and late-night talks that get way too real, Benson and Kyle begin to crack each other open. Benson needs a boy, and Kyle needs a Daddy for Christmas. Neither of them was looking for love.
Love doesn’t always come knocking, but sometimes, it climbs into the passenger seat and refuses to shut up.
**********
A Daddy for Christmas 3 is a multi-author series. Holiday tales of lost boys in need of Daddy’s love and in some cases, a firm hand. Naughty or nice, it’s all in Santa’s hands now. So why not dive in and read each standalone and enjoy the holidays alongside our boys? The character’s theme is Grumpy and Sunshine.
