Weekend Update!

Aug 10, 2025 8:26 pm

REMINDER: the weekend edition is long. If you click on the link that says "View in Browser" on the TOP RIGHT of the email (it could be a square with an arrow through it), if opens out how it should look. If you click on the one at the bottom it opens it out but it makes it hard to read.

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry but I still do not have a chapter of Digging done, BUT after tomorrow I am freeeeeeeeeee so I'll try to post it on Tues. I have missed writing it, but the past two weeks have been too hectic.

Finding Isaac will be out August 13, and I can't wait for you to meet Tig and Isaac. They were both in Nuts and Bolts Holiday, but this is their story, and they're both fun characters.

When we left them in Nuts and Bolts Holiday, they'd just met and gone to Jack's family Christmas Party, but a lot has changed and things are not as peachy as they were. Here's a sneak peek just for YOU!

Finding Isaac (Foggy Basin Season Two)

“Tig?”

I knew that voice, and I wasn’t sure if I should be happy or annoyed to hear it, so at first, I ignored it.

“Tig Sawyer, I know you are not ignoring me,” Isaac said. I was too much of a coward to look right at him, but I knew he’d be standing there with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face.

“Oh, hey, Isaac, I didn’t see you there.” It wasn’t a lie. I hadn’t seen him until I heard him but then I did definitely try to ignore him. I tried to smile when I finally met his eyes and sure enough, he was annoyed as hell and looking as hot as the last time I’d seen him. He had on a t-shirt that was soaked in sweat, and baggy jeans with a flannel tied around his waist. His arms were muscular, and his hair was a mess, and I kicked myself for not calling him.

“Sure,” he said and planted his feet.

“You two know each other?” Jeff asked.

“No,” Isaac said at the same time I said yes.

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at night, or to get into trouble with.

Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a little over a year. He graduated from high school and moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most part, never looked back. But memories of that slower pace always came back to him when he was neck deep in work, and his personal life.

Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was more than

happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has his life together and always seems happy as hell, would want to take him on. But there’s something in the way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

Welcome to Foggy Basin Season Two. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Every day for the past few weeks, Charlie Castle has been going to the park across the street from the auto shop, hoping for a chance to meet the new guy from the bookstore with the shock of red hair and a penchant for pink sugar cookies.

Ryan wasn’t looking for love when he met Charlie, but meeting Charlie might just give him everything he never knew he needed. MM Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Found Family

Liam Tarrant has been playing guitar for as long as he can remember. When he gets the chance to audition for Blinding Light, he jumps at the chance.

Easy is drawn to Liam, no matter how much he wants to deny it. When the two are thrown together over practice and planning the upcoming tour, attraction grows between the two of them that neither can deny. But falling in love on tour could be what finally ends Blinding Light, and both of them will need to choose what’s more important to them. Love or music, can they have it all? #Rockstar #mmromance #grumpysunshine #friendstolovers

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

Lost in the Snow

Twenty-one-year-old Jamie is in for a rude awakening. What starts as a romantic Christmas getaway to Big Bear, California with his boyfriend, Daddy Tom, quickly devolves into a snow-covered nightmare. They've driven all the way from Long Beach, and Daddy Tom even promised Jamie a new jacket from a small boutique. But when Daddy Tom disappears after parking the car, Jamie is left stranded, his phone dead and his pockets empty.

As the snowstorm rages, Jamie waits, the chill seeping into his bones, until the store lights finally dim. Alone and without a jacket, he stumbles into the biting wind, eventually collapsing by the side of the road, tears freezing on his cheeks. Just as hope dwindles, a jeep pulls up, and a mysterious stranger offers a lifeline, driving Jamie to his cabin. But who is this man, and what will become of Jamie in the desolate, snow-covered mountains?

Age Gap Opposites Attract Pride Camp MM Romance Tents Risk taking Kindle Unlimited

One man was running from roots. The other was still learning how to plant them.

Clayton Robinson thought he’d found peace behind the bar of his cozy pub in Lodi, California, where the drinks flowed easy, the regulars felt like family, and the open road was just a distant hum. Relationships? Not his thing. He liked freedom too much… until he stepped into the Rainbow Coffee Shop in Stockton and met Sawyer Gallagher.

Sawyer doesn’t do first moves. He barely knows how to trust. Raised on an isolated farm, homeschooled and cut off from the world, he fled everything he knew after uncovering a family secret that shattered his past. But when Clayton notices the small bracelet on Sawyer’s wrist, the one Sawyer wears as a silent signal of hope, something shifts.

What begins with coffee turns into a trip neither planned. Along the way, laughter cracks open silence. Long-held secrets are confessed at Summer Pride Camp. And that tiny spark? It doesn’t stay small for long in a shared tent.

Sometimes love doesn’t ask for permission. It just climbs over the fences we build—and dares us to follow.

Welcome to Pride Camp where diversity and inclusion is our motto. We’ve got daddies, mommies, littles, pets and families of all kinds. So, unroll your sleeping bag, make a couple smores, and enjoy the show!

Tattered Angel

Narrated by Wesley Lynch

#Newaudiorelease

Since the moment he picked up his first guitar, Dez Conway dreamed of being a Rockstar. A multi-talented musician with the ability to play the electric violin, electric cello and even the bass, he’d be an asset to any group of musicians, if only the bands who’d hired him over the years had truly thought that way. Instead, he’s singing for the dishes in an upscale restaurant, bitter, pissed off, and unwilling to entertain the offer to replace the frontman of the world-famous Deviant Angels because why the hell would they be any different than the guys who’d kicked him to the curb in the past?

Only…they’re not the Deviant Angels, their longtime frontman took the name with him when he left, along with their hopes of getting back out on the road again and playing the music they love. Of course, a talented musician like Dez could change all of that for them, if they can convince him that this time, his dreams of rock stardom, and love, can actually come true.

Tattered Angel is the 2nd book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not stay and enjoy the whole show? If you like scorching tales of hot rock stars and the men who love them, then you’ll adore the untamed musicians of Rocktoberfest!

For Ash, moving to Foggy Basin was all about finding himself like his little brother Kit had. Kit and his daddy Nate owned the local pub Pints n’ Pool and were so happy. And that’s all Ash wanted—to be happy. Something he never was at the commune.

Where Kit was outgoing and ready to take on the world, Ash was the introverted one. Barely a year separated them in age but when it came to going after what they wanted Kit was lightyears ahead of Ash.

Now, it was Ash’s turn, and he hoped he’d find his way in his new town of Foggy Basin. Who knew the reserved newbie in town would attract not one, but two men.

Rivi: I’ve known I’m a little for a long time but never acted on it.

I’m far too shy to go looking for a daddy, even online. Dating sites are untrustworthy. Besides, who would want me? I’m too small, annoyingly quiet and I wear awful, thick glasses that make my eyes look too big. No one would glance my way even if I did get up the courage to go to a club or gay bar.

But then I find out my uncle, Trent Winterbourne, owns a large kink club and has a little for a husband. How did I never know this before? Uncle Trent is having a huge but very private Christmas party at his country estate in the middle of a Christmas tree farm. This man must know lots of daddies.

If I do anything right with my life from now on, I need to wrangle an invitation to stay with my uncle through the holidays. Maybe then I can finally begin the hunt for my one true daddy.

Note: Trent Winterbourne is a recurring character in my Little Mister Perfect series and was first introduced in A Little Christmas: Ozzy’s Secret and also appears in A Little Christmas: Kit
