Weekend Update!

Nov 11, 2023 7:01 am

Hi everyone, I'm in Colorado! My plane was delayed out of Sacramento, and by the time I got here it was dark. I've never been to Estes Park so I wanted to get here earlier, but it all worked out. My room has a fireplace and the people at the front desk gave me freshly made bread pudding. Can't beat that lol.

NO chapter this week of Melting Darkness. Sorry but it was a crazy week. I'm going to try to do two for next week.

I wanted to share some reviews I've gotten for A Lof of Snow For Christmas, and Faded Dreams. Thank you all for your support and kind words. It all really does matter.

New Release!

A Lot of Snow For Christmas

BL Maxwell

https://mybook.to/ALOSFChristmas

Jack Mathews wanted to get away from the city and enjoy some time on the slopes. He’d rented a nice cabin in the mountains and was more than ready to spend some time alone before the holidays.

Being from a large family, Ronnie Diaz decided this was a good year for him to spend a white Christmas with his dog, Chewie. He’s looking forward to some peace and quiet, but no amount of planning would have helped when the weather took a turn for the worse.

Two strangers with very different lifestyles stuck together in a snow-covered cabin with no heat or power. It might take more than a cute dog to help them survive it. #mmromance #stranded #oppostitesattract #holidayromance #grumpy/sunshine

Blinding Light Book Two

Blinding Light: https://mybook.to/BlindingLight

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 of lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone. #agegap #oppositesattract #friendstolovers #rockstarromance

Book Three in the Small Town City Series

Stu Lawson had always lived in the small town of Occident. He’d been born a farmer, and he was more than happy to stay a farmer even when his dad decided it wasn’t the life for him. He’s been raising his daughter since the day she was born, and he’s never regretted being a single dad, but Stu has a few secrets.

Morgan Grant was born into a life he never wanted and had done everything he could to avoid. Staying drunk helps him forget and numbs the pain he can’t bring himself to face. After a long night of drinking, he ends up dumped in a small town north of Sacramento without money, his phone, or a way to get back to the city he calls home.

Stu’s focus has always been his daughter, but he can’t control his curiosity about the stranger who shows up in Occident alone in the middle of the night. He offers to help, even when he knows he shouldn’t. Old feelings rise to the surface and he’s helpless to ignore them, or Morgan. This stranger could be his chance at happiness, or his downfall. #singledad #gayromance #stranded #smalltownromance #secrets

Noel Remy has been so busy at his Christmas store, Snow Cute, that it takes a lot of persuading for him to finally go home to Signet Falls this Christmas. While the thought of leaving his business unattended is on his mind, there’s also the memories of his first crush back home that he has kept locked away for years.

Cooper Laurier has no great Christmas memories. Being in the humbug spirit is more his thing. When his parents suggest a family Christmas in Signet Falls, he reluctantly agrees, even if there’s only one good memory he has from growing up there.

In their past, Noel was the geeky nerd and Cooper was the popular athlete. Obliged to work together in high school, they learned that there was more to the other than meets the eye. An unlikely friendship, with a tentative wish for something more, began to blossom … until life caused it to wither away just as quickly.

Now, ten years later, they run into each other again in Signet Falls. Through Christmas festivities and holiday spirit, how will their relationship turn out. Have they forgotten about each other or is there still a spark and a second chance for love?

Lynden Alan Ackerman the third, aka, Seltzer – don’t ask how he got the nickname, his younger sister is still traumatized over the whole incident. Seltzer, the lead guitarist for the band Embrace the Fear was caught in a compromising position with the younger brother of the not so happy drummer from the mega band, Social Sinners, Diamond.

“Don’t poke the bear,” Stoli, lead guitarist for Social Sinners and Seltzer’s mentor warns while moving Seltzer out of Diamond’s reach. But being the jokester was Seltzer’s MO, though Diamond’s growls and clenched fists should’ve been a sign to back off.

Jeremiah Taylor grips his brother’s bicep while he and Diamond’s husband Easton do their best to calm the beast. Was the hook up with Seltzer worth it? Yes, and no.

Though this wasn’t their first time…

Seltzer's Taylor is a book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2023 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see who hits the stage next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for. Kick back, load up your kindle and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!

Strike A Chord

Chaotic Abyss book 1

https://www.books2read.com/Chaotic1

Cover model: Logan Blackthorn

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Cover artist: Morningstar Ashley

Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.

Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.

Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.

Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.

If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?

Strike a Chord is book one in the Chaotic Abyss rockstar romance series featuring hurt/comfort, second chances, and a bartender who just wants to be left alone.

A Daddy for Christmas: Daniel is available on preorder.

Release Date: December 8,2023

https://books2read.com/u/4A2onp

Age Gap, Russian Mob Boss Daddy/ Flirting Dancer, Forced Proximity, Spankings, Daddy/boy, Daddy Kink, Mix-up Gifts, and Surprises.

Daniel is in a tight spot. He needs a job as soon as possible to pay for his rent and his motorcycle loan. He loves dancing, but he has a bad habit of flirting with everyone he meets. He lost his last gig at a nightclub because he couldn’t stop flirting and dating his co-workers and customers. He wants a daddy boyfriend more than anything, but he knows he must focus on his career first. He swears to himself that he will stop dating and just dance at his new job at the Glitter Box Club, a notorious gay hotspot for the rich and powerful.

Mr. Baranov is a cold and ruthless man. He runs the Glitter Box Club with an iron fist, and he doesn’t tolerate any mistakes from his employees. He is also a member of a notorious Russian mob family, and everyone in the city knows better than to cross him. He has no interest in romance or commitment. He only dates the dancers at his club for fun, and he makes sure they know it’s nothing serious. He never expects to feel anything for anyone until he saw Daniel Sparks dancing on the bar top.

Daniel is part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it's going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?
