Hi everyone! I arrived here yesterday around 8PM and have been going nonstop. I was not able to finish a chapter of Cookie BUT I'm going to put one chapter in next weeks midweek newsletter and another chapter in Friday's.

I was working on edits for Blue Lightning and it was more important.

I've already seen so many authors here that I haven't seen for years. It's nice to get to talk with book people in real life. I have a lot of friends who are readers but not many of them read Gay Romance although I keep trying to get them to. If you're going to be at RomantiConn tomorrow stop by and say hello!

Coming soon!

Preorder for July 31 release!

Blue Lightning

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.

Just Another Day At The Morgue

https://books2read.com/JustANotherDay

Seeing spirits is one thing, but feeling the pain of their death is an experience best left alone. Restless spirits, a ghost dog, and two men connected to the spirit world. What could go wrong? Bran Tanda works at the hospital morgue despite the fact he can see and hear all the spirits that tend to congregate there. He wants to help them, even if they terrify him with their aggressive tactics to get him to acknowledge their existence.

Jordan Amid is Bran’s assistant. He’s reluctant to interact too much with the dead since he can feel all the pain from their death and the confusion they’re left with. But he’s drawn to work there with Bran, and his ghost dog Buddy. Bran and Jordan are thrown into a world where things are changing, and without their help everyone will suffer the dead. Stronger together than separately, they’ll both need to face their fears and find the strength they’ll need to fight the evil forces that threaten them and all of humanity. #MMParanromal #UrbanFantasy #Necromancer #PsychicEmpath

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 long days of drinking and looking for his next hookup are starting to blur together.

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 Caribbean destinations 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.

 JJ follows some of the passengers onto the cruise ship after partying with them all day. Security realizes he’s not a passenger, and they waste no time taking him into custody and explaining to him he’ll be dropped off at the next stop. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but this time there’s no one to bail him out. He may have finally met his match in the cruise worker who has to share his cabin with him and can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship.

Nuts and Bolts

https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts

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.

🎄🎁 Blurb 🎁🎄

O Deadly Night has returned, and our silent nights are so much more deadly. Festivities are hiding a multitude of sins, and where light and laughter should be, villains are instead. There are more than holly and mistletoe being hung in the hallways, and joy is short lived. Be careful with your holiday wishes, you might get more than you bargained for.

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

A Daddy for Christmas: Baran Blurb

A Daddy for Christmas: Baran is available on preorder.

Brina Brady

https://books2read.com/u/boNVo0

MM Xmas Romance/Philanthropist Daddy/Turkish boy/Hurt and Comfort/Spankings

Nineteen-year-old Baran Arslan gets a shocking Christmas present from his father. When Turkish businessman Marat Arslan discovers his son is gay, he flies him from Istanbul to New York City for the holiday - and abandons him. Cut off from access to his family and any funds Baran must figure out how to survive. Fortunately, he speaks English and soon meets a young man who directs him to Rainbow Haven, a homeless shelter for gay young men.

Twenty-eight-year-old Darien Moore has the looks, charm and inherited wealth that would have allowed him to become the perfect New York City playboy. Instead, he invested his time and money to create Rainbow Haven. He’s found his purpose in providing not just shelter, but a place of hope where young men can rebuild their lives.

This Christmas, Baran needs a loving, protective Daddy and Darien needs a boy to love and care for. Rainbow Haven may just be the place where Santa grants both their wishes.

Daddy/boy, Daddy Kink, Age Gap, Hurt to Comfort, Opposites Attract, KU

❤️ 🐾 🧡 🐾 💛 🐾 🏳️‍🌈 🐾💚 🐾 💙 🐾 💜

 Miguel Reyes, twenty years old, is a daily victim of gang bullying on the streets of Brooklyn every summer when he returns home from his dorm at Princeton University. This time, the harassment is unrelenting and something bad happens on the street. Fearing that Miguel might end up like his father, who was gunned down at Miguel’s sixth birthday party in front of the young boy, his mother and Uncle Javier send him to the Jersey shore for the summer. Miguel dreams of finding a daddy to protect him.

Shamus O’Malley, twenty-eight, would normally live comfortably above the bar he owns on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The night of a traumatic breakup, however, he is seeking sanctuary at a hotel on the boardwalk. There, all his protective instincts are aroused as he encounters a bruised Miguel also checking in.

Luckily for them both, they are assigned rooms next door to each other. Has Shamus found his boy? Has Miguel found his daddy? Is anything that develops between them destined to end the hot summer days?

❤️ 🐾 🧡 🐾 💛 🐾 🏳️‍🌈 🐾💚 🐾 💙 🐾 💜

Miguel is part of A Daddy for Summer, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones. So why not stay and read them all? https://mybook.to/ADaddyForSummer
