Weekend Update!
Apr 11, 2026 4:16 pm
Hi everyone! The weather has changed again! Last night we had a very crazy thunderstorm that passed through the area with lots of thunder and lightning, and heavy rain. We've been around 80 degrees for most of March the weather is really crazy!
Lessons I've learned the past week, do not put anyone on your checking account that you do not completely trust becuase if you die they 100% have rights to that money. I'm really blown away by the things people will do just to take advantage of another person. Be careful out there!
Next sunday is the Sacramento Book Festival. If you're in the area stop by and say hello. I didn't do a preorder for this convention but if you plan to attend and there is a book you'd like, please just reply to this email. https://www.sacramentobookfestival.com/

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.
Throwback Audio!
Blue Lightning
https://books2read.com/BlueLightning
Cole Ryan is bored. He’s lived in the same small town his whole life and has the same job. Nothing changes there and every morning when he goes for a run, those thoughts echo on repeat through his mind. Until today, on this day, something big happens and if he survives it, his life won’t be the same. Maybe boring old Hickory Crossing wasn’t so bad after all.
Driving in the rain, on his way to a delivery, Bobby Sanders is focused on the road, when a flash of blue light in the distance catches his eye. He witnesses a bolt of lightning strike a man running on the road ahead of him. He never suspected that bolt of lightning could change both their lives, not just the poor guy who was blown out of his shoes right in front of him.
When the persistent sound of whispering won’t go away, Cole questions his sanity. But maybe he’s not the only one experiencing strange things.

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

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.

Adrik Marinov had been raised to inherit a Russian crime empire and shaped into the monster his father wanted. Walking away should’ve given him freedom, but Viktor Marinov didn’t let go of blood. As long as Adrik was alive, he was a target.
Hans Schroeger was everything Adrik wasn’t—steady, gentle, and safe. He was a quiet professor living in Germany who thought his heart was safer behind books than with a man. He’d traded heartbreak for novels and the ocean, convincing himself he was better off alone… until Adrik crashed into his peaceful world.
Their connection was instant. Hans offered the peace and love Adrik never believed he deserved; Adrik woke something in Hans he thought he’d buried.

Horse Ranch, MM Spanking Romance, Age Gap, Boss/Employee, Hurt/Comfort, Small Town, Family Rejection, First Love
Ethan Evans had spent his whole life doing what everyone else wanted—working the ranch, pretending he was straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he was stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss, a man he couldn’t stop noticing.

Carter Higgins showed up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he’d stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying an authority that made people straighten up. He had a past he didn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he did have was discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.
As the two of them clashed, circled, and collided in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blurred fast and spankings might have been in order. Neither expected to want the other.

Rebel’s Warriors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDSCSH24
Rebel: The biggest drawback to fame? The sudden swarms of random people recognizing me and losing their minds in the process. I used to fly under the radar. Now I’ve got to get extra creative when I want to slip away for extra-curricular activities. Sometimes I’m successful, most times not. Either way, the lectures are starting to suck, especially when they’re accompanied by Steel’s piercing looks of disapproval.
Kit: There’s no way this is real. Last year, when I subbed for Blissfully Immune’s iconic drummer, Osius, I figured it was a one and done deal. Only now they need a permanent relief drummer, and guess who got the nod to go out on the road with them? Oh my Goddess, pinch me! I can’t believe I’ve just been handed my dream. I just wish I knew with a hundred percent certainty that Rebel was cool with me being back after the explosive moment we shared.
Steele: One quiet and reserved drummer, the other a damned menace of a guitarist I don’t dare take my eyes off when I’m not on duty, because he’s always looking for some mess to jump into. The only saving grace is that I’ve not been assigned to guard either of them. Damn if they aren’t slowly causing my shriveled heart to start throwing off sparks of desire. But how to keep those possibilities from imploding before we can nurture them into a roaring flame?
Exclusive Excerpt: “Uh-huh. I will be reporting this, you know that, right?”
I just rolled my eyes and nodded. “Of course you will. Look, if you’re that hung up on me being down here, then it’s a simple fix. Come back upstairs with me and hang out. The highlight reels will be on right after the game and I’m dying to see how the rest of teams fared.”
“Didn’t realize you were that into the game.”
“I played until I reached a point where I was being pulled between hockey and music.”
“How’d you choose?”
Sighing, I decided to give him the scaled down answer because the truth was twisted, and complicated enough that it still pissed me off when I thought about it too long. “Went with the one I was best at. What can I say, I like things easy.”
I winked when I said it, because flirting was always a good way to end a Q and A session before it really got rolling. Should have known it would have zero effect on him.
“You forget, I see the energy that goes into your performances and the long hours each song takes to craft. If that’s your idea of easy I’d hate to see what you consider hard.”
Chuckling, I just raised my glass to my lips and peered at him over the top of it for a moment before draining the last of my beer.
