Welcome to December! I spent today making homemade Pepper Jelly. Which if you haven't heard of it before is a strange jelly that tastes similar to sweet and sour sauce and goes great over cream cheese and eaten with Wheat Thins. Here's a link to the recipe if you're curious. https://www.aforkstale.com/make-homemade-hot-pepper-jelly/
I've added a few more books to my Payhip store and plan to add some merch so keep checking back because it's taking me forever! Prices for paperbacks do include shipping to the US only. But I will ship international. https://payhip.com/BLMaxwell

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

Hunters and Killers: Serial Killers
The hunters become the hunted in this thrill ride of dark terror and obsession.
Remi Dumas, a local detective, is reluctantly partnered with the older, more experienced FBI field agent Elias Suarez when a string of mutilated corpses start showing up near the Louisiana swamps. A serial killer known as “The Beast” who terrorized the community by targeting young men for years has resurfaced. The odd feeling Remi knows who the notorious serial killer maybe if he could only just remember hangs over him, and when he discovers the victims have the same strange carvings in their skin that were found on his older brother Rene’s body 20 years ago, the case becomes personal.
When the tables turn and The Beast sets his sights on Remi, it becomes clear that Remi will need to put his skills to the ultimate test to make it out of this investigation alive. As Remi searches his present and his past for clues to the murderer’s identity, he struggles against his growing attraction to Elias, the man he loves to hate.
In a world where killers hunt under the cover of darkness, Remi must rely on the partner he’s not sure he can trust to help him drag a murderer and Remi’s life into the light.

A Daddy For Christmas: Ryu https://www.amazon.com/Daddy-Christmas-Ryu-Layla-Dorine-ebook/dp/B0CH414KGH
Blurb: When a Secret Santa matchup sends Ryu to the wrong Daddy, will it be a pleasant surprise for both of them or will grumpy Kissmass Daddy Hank prove why he's been alone for over a year?
The moment Hank lay eyes on the basket outside his door he figured someone down at the club was playing a joke on him. The boy was adorable but certainly not meant for him. Learning who Ryu was meant for changed everything though, and suddenly the man who wasn’t interested in the package on his doorstep was loudly declaring Ryu his.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that simple statement would change his bleak holiday season into one of hope and love.
Coming Dec 1
A Little Christmas: Ajay’s Secret www.amazon.com/Little-Christmas-Ajays-Secret-Romance-ebook/dp/B0CGMPQGNY
Blurb: Walker Remington hates the holiday season. He didn't always feel that way, but tragedy has a way of changing things and making a man bitter. Carols, lights, the sight of people with their packages and bags all tip him over into Bah Humbug mode, that is, until Ajay comes along. With his piercings and wildly colored hair, he is everything Walker is not. Young, fun-loving, and on the hunt for a Daddy, something Walker has been before, and longs to be again, if only he'll stop sabotaging every chance he's offered.
A street musician longing to hit it big someday, Ajay McKerran sets up on corners all over the city, playing his guitar and bringing joy to people, especially with the carols he sings. When a chance meeting lands him a gig playing at a dinner club for kink-minded individuals, he never imagined it would land him in a space where he could safely explore things he's long desired. But is Walker the right Daddy for him or will the man prove to be as cold as the Baltimore winter Ajay ventures out to play in?
Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone. But each boy is silly, unique, loveable, and downright adorable so why not read them all?
A game of cat and mouse across war-torn Europe.

A Thank You letter from The Trevor Project. This is in response to the donations from sales of Midgnight in the Renaissance Elevator Anthology. When you wonder if those donations really help, yes they do. We raised around $3000. Not bad for a book that's only $2.99. You can still get this anthology on Amazon until the end of January.
Dear authors of the Midnight in the Renaissance Elevator Anthology,
Thank you so much for your contribution to The Trevor Project!
The funds you and your community raised enable us to be there for all the LGBTQ young people who reach out in crisis through our 24/7 chat, phone, and text lines. We invite the young folks who utilize our services to provide feedback on their experiences. Below is a note we received that made me smile.
“Hey, I just wanna say that The Trevor Project is a gift to this world and they have saved my life too many times. I appreciate this organization so much and I am so thankful for the work they do.”
As a generous supporter of our work, this is a message to you all as well.
I am so grateful that you are part of the Trevor community and look forward to keeping you updated on the life-saving work you are empowering. I’m here if you have any questions about the impact of your gift, how we can work together to protect LGBTQ young people, or if you would just like to connect.
In the meantime, thank you for your support in helping us build a world where every LGBTQ young person feels safe, loved, and affirmed.
With gratitude,
Zulikha
