Weekend Update!

Hi everyone! I know some of you have not received my newsletter, I do not know why and they've given me no explanation. But hopefully it's fixed.
We're still freezing to death here in California, not really but it feels like it LOL. I started watching the series The Untamed, the one with subtitles not the one in Yosemite. It's very good. I don't normally do subtitles but it's very creative! I've also watched the first three episodes of Heated Rivalry and I cannot wait for more!
I've stocked my Payhip store with more Blind date Books and this year's Christmas Box. I ordered more Christmas books including The Boys but they won't be here until at least the 15th. Thank you Amazon for that. Here's the link if you want to check it out. Christmas Box: https://payhip.com/b/MmNa4
Blind date books (Old Covers) : https://payhip.com/b/wHBoS
Only two more days until the Foggy Basin Christmas shorts are live so watch for those! There is at least one that did not have a preorder. Here's all the latest!

Faded Dreams
New to Audio!
https://books2read.com/FadedDreams
Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.
Kai Marshall has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.
Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart on lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone.

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his
twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his
favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his
life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him
and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at
night, or to get into trouble with.
Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a
little over a year. He graduated from high school and
moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most
part, never looked back. But memories of that slower
pace always came back to him when he was neck deep
in work, and his personal life.
Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was
more than
happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting
Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his
own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has
his life together and always seems happy as hell,
would want to take him on. But there’s something in the
way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

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.

Now a high school English teacher, Archie Star is spending his first winter break not behind the counter of the Blue Star Diner, but beside Brogan Finnegan—the man who turned a rented room into a refuge and a quiet friendship into something deeper. As snow blankets Foggy Basin, Archie wrestles with the unfamiliar comfort of belonging and the ache of old habits that whisper he doesn’t deserve it. But Brogan’s steady warmth, shared meals, and gentle invitations into his world begin to thaw more than just the cold. In this tender holiday interlude, Archie must decide whether he can truly stay—not just in Brogan’s home, but in the life they’re building together.
Then, on Christmas morning, beneath a tree glowing with soft lights and handmade ornaments, Brogan offers him something achingly simple: surprise present with a promise, and a question that asks Archie to stay—not for the holiday, but for good.

Archie Star’s life had always been marked by loneliness. After losing his mother at eleven, he was left with a father who never quite knew what to do with him. Even after earning a literature degree, Archie felt like a ghost in his own home, unseen and unneeded. When his cousin Andrew offered him a job at the Blue Star Diner in Foggy Basin, he took it as a sign. With nothing but a duffel bag and a restless heart, he climbed onto his motorcycle and rode toward a fresh start, hoping to find a place where he could finally breathe.
Andrew secured him a room in the home of Brogan Finnegan, a charming Irish high school teacher with a storyteller’s soul. Brogan had traveled the world before settling in Foggy Basin, drawn to teaching after years of volunteering in communities abroad. His warm home and steady presence offered Archie something he hadn’t felt in years—comfort, safety, and maybe even belonging.
