Hi everyone! We're getting closer to the release of Foggy Basin Pride! I know I've mentioned before how good all the stories are, but they really are! The variety and meeting new characters while revisiting old favorites makes each short story a fun read. Foggy Basin is based on my hometown which is also my penname, Maxwell. We were over there last week and its fun for me to imagine the changes we've made for Foggy Basin.
I did a hardcover for The Vampire that turned out so good! If you're going to the Sacramento Book Festival I'll have a few of them. I really can't wait to show them off LOL.
Here's the good stuff.
New Releases!
Coming Soon to Audio!

The Vampire
https://books2read.com/TheVampire
(Ebook Paperback, and Hardcover)
Marlon Byrne was born long ago in a distant country, but for close to a century he’s been buried deep in the ground in the small town of Occident. He’d grown lonely, and the prospect of living out his existence with a mate was too hard to ignore. Which is how he ended up in a grave in the cemetery.
Blake Miller has listened to his grandfather talk about the vampire buried with his treasure of gold for as long as he can remember. One night he enlists his friend Aaron, to finally put those stories to rest.
What they discover that night is far different than either of them imagined. Blake faces a series of unwanted events that he cannot resist and is helpless to ignore. The life he knows is over, but the alternative may cost him more than a little blood.
New Audio!
Anchor Grey
https://books2read.com/AnchorGrey2
Devon Grimes got his big break by filling in on drums for his uncle Glen in his band Blinding Light. Being in his own band Anchor Grey with his new boyfriend Johnny was like a dream come true. Until reality came knocking.
Johnny Brown has made every attempt to hold his band together, but nothing seems to work for long. He hopes Devon can be the glue that holds them together this time. But being in a relationship with the drummer is both amazing and frustrating.
Devon and Johnny both share a love of music and a need to play in a successful band, so the chance to tour with Blinding Light is too good to be true. But life on the road isn’t easy on a band or a relationship, and navigating both can be tricky. The road to Rocktoberfest is a minefield loaded with obstacles neither of them expect and will test their resolve to stay together or go it alone.

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance

Tommy Carter was just minding his own business, taking out the trash from his job at a local bar and grill, when he noticed the man hiding behind the dumpster. He couldn’t get a good look at the guy, and the less he can find out about him, the more curious he becomes. He’d lived through difficult circumstances in his past, and decides if he can help, he will.
Tommy doesn’t have a lot, but he has a heart of gold that won’t let him walk away from someone he knows needs a hand up.Zane Martin was left wandering the streets of Sacramento in a haze after tragedy struck. He’s afraid to trust anyone and suffering from a lack of food and adequate clothing to keep him alive and well against the weather about to hit the area. He’s not sure he can trust Tommy, but he wants to.
There has to be one good person out there, and maybe he’s just found him. A story of helping when you can, and accepting help when it’s offered.
