Weekend Update!

Mar 17, 2024 8:46 pm

Hi everyone! This is the last weekend before I leave for Italy on Tues. I'm so excited, and hoping I can force myself not to overpack. Melting Darkness is with my editor and I still need to go over edits on Remember Always, the final book in the Small Town City series.

I have so many projects coming up this year. The second Spirit Boys is in the works and I can't wait to share more of that world.


**NOTE** I was shown a pirate site today that has most of my books on it. These are not ARC copies, they're copies from Amazon. When you choose to take a copy of a book off of your kindle device, strip the encryption, and load it to a pirate site to share you are stealing. You're not only hurting the author, you're hurting yourself. Most like me do not make money off their writing, and many eventually stop writing because of the costs incurred.

Not to mention the amount of time involved to steal it. Just stop! Be a better human and think about what you're doing. I offer free arcs on Booksprout if you're a reviewer, all of my books have been in KU. Some are no longer but they're the ones that had zero reads. I also always have regular sales, and multiple free promotions through the year. Most books are available free on a reading app from your local library. Just stop. You really don't get a pat on the back for sharing stolen property, all you get from me is one more reason to stop writing.

Since Bran Tanda started working at the morgue, his life has changed. He’s spent most of his life denying his necromancer abilities, but now he knows there’s no other choice but to embrace it and learn as much as he can about it. No matter how much he hates it.

Jordan Amid is becoming more comfortable being around the dead. But they still overwhelm him and terrify him. The coldness and the heavy emotions he associates with being near a spirit are nearly too much for him to take. But for Bran, he’ll try.

Bran and Jordan soon realize there is more going on than they understand, and even Janis isn’t sure how to handle what she knows is coming for them. Mysterious markings continue to appear and unless they can learn more from the journals Bran finds at his house, there may be no hope for anyone. #MMParanormal Romance #Urban Fantasy, #Necromancer #Empath

Below Deck

https://books2read.com/BelowDeck

JJ Carrington was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s used to flying in business class and spending all his holidays at the nicest resorts in the world. But lately he’s tired of the same vacation over and over again, and the one-night stands that seem to plague him.

Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more of the Caribbean than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.

When JJ ends up partying late into the night with some of the passengers from a cruise ship, he follows them onboard. But when Cory finds him sleeping in a deckchair after the ship has sailed, he takes him to his cabin. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but he may have met his match in the cruise worker who can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #oppositesattract #smalltown/city #vacationromance

Luka trades the short-term approval of his lover by helping with a home robbery for the gilded cage of Captain Clarke’s cruise ship. A year of servitude, a court-mandated reprieve from prison, all thanks to his influential father’s deal. Sadly, Luka’s immediate future includes scrubbing the decks and hauling suitcases, a stark contrast to the prison sentence he could have faced alongside his lover, Maleko. Haunted by the ghost of his lover’s absence and his own guilt, Luka grapples with newfound tenderness coming from the least expected person. 

🛳️ ⋰🤿⋱ 🏳️‍🌈 ⋰🌞🕶️⋰ ♥️🥽🌞⋱ 🏳️‍🌈 ⋰🤿🛳️

Captain Westly John Clarke, an experienced maritime hardliner, enforces the court’s contract with grim adherence. Beneath the surface, something shifts. Luka’s boyish charm chips away at the older man’s icy exterior. Still, he keeps Luka at arm’s length, unable to forget the bitter memories of the young man’s past. As the Captain battles his own awakening heart and hidden secrets, his compass spins out of control, adding to the chaos.

As the love story etches in the shadow of a criminal past and the unforgiving grip of duty leaves them both adrift in unchartered waters. Only time and the churning sea will tell if they admit what’s in their hearts.

Pride Cruise 2024 Series Page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKWB4JJ

 

Get a job on a cruise ship, they said. It will calm you down.

 

Highly unlikely.

 

I’ve been hyper all my life and the only one who knew how or cared to deal with me was my mother. I’d put the poor woman through hell and the best way for her to get a long break from me was to take a job that included travel. Vale Harper, two weeks at sea, should do the trick and give mom the rest she more than deserved.

 

What I hadn’t expected to find was a much-needed outlet for my endless energy. Pet Play, where have you been all my life?

 

Lonely. Confused. Tired of listening to myself complain. Jack Barrett, master of absolutely nothing. My hands were in more pots than I could keep track of. Thankfully, the managers I had in place took care of everything and now all I had left was…me.

 

Boy after boy passed through my life, but none stuck. Was I too much for them? Too controlling? Not controlling enough? No one had the answer. Not my therapist, not my last boy, and certainly not me.

 

Ahoy Daddy! is an MM, Pet Play, crazy monkey, sweet Daddy tale of two lost souls whose paths cross in the most unsuspecting of places.

 

Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024!

 

Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won't want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they're silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

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.
