Weekend Update!
Apr 19, 2026 4:16 pm
Hi everyone, I'm getting ready for the Sacramento Bookfest and of course I'm far from ready LOL. If you're in the area stop by, it's free admission and should be lots of bookish fun.
Sorry but I did not get the weekly chapter done. I have had so many other things going on that I haven't had much time to write at all. My poor WIP hasn't been touched in at least a month. I'm hoping things slow down soon, but I sort of doubt it.
I'm going to try to get ahead of the game with next week's chapter I have it started so hopefully that helps.
Don't forget sunday is the Sacramento Book Festival. It's free and there are all types of authors going so if you're in the area stop by. https://www.sacramentobookfestival.com/
Here's the good stuff!

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.

Finding Isaac
https://books2read.com/FindingIsaac..
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.

Andrew just wants to bring a little Pride Day joy to the Blue Star Diner. A rainbow flag, a splash of color, a moment of celebration — simple, right?
Not when his father storms in, yanks the flag down, and turns a disagreement into a blow‑up that leaves Andrew shaken and Rafael stepping in to protect him. One ugly moment becomes the spark that lights a much bigger fire, and suddenly Andrew and Rafael are facing fallout they never saw coming.
But word travels fast in their small town, and they’re not facing it alone. Archie and Brogan show up ready to stand with them, fight for them, and make sure love — not fear — wins the day.

Spencer
After years away from the spotlight, lead guitarist and vocalist Spencer is finally returning to Black Shadows. The comeback depends on bringing back the two members he can’t stand, the same men who nearly destroyed everything once before. Old grudges, buried secrets, and unresolved betrayals threaten to blow the reunion apart before it even begins.
Jamie
Jamie thought life with Spencer in Beverly Hills was solid. He’s balancing UCLA nursing classes, a future he’s fighting for, and a relationship he trusts. Until he learns Spencer will be performing with Spencer’s ex, who left scars on his daddy. Suddenly, the home they built together doesn’t feel so steady. Running feels safer than staying.
Now Spencer is caught between the band that made him… and the boy who became his home. If he can’t convince Jamie to stay—and keep the past from tearing them apart—he might lose the two things he loves most.
The men of The Road to Rocktoberfest are back and this time they’re playing for keeps. Whether on the stage or at home they love just as hard as they play. So, hop onto the tour buses and join us on the path to stardom!
Spencer and Jamie met in the book:

My first Rawhide Ranch book, part of the Submissives of Rawhide Ranch collection, Pining for Payne, was such a joy to write that I am excited to share a snippet from the book with you today.
#MMMromance
#ruralliving
#servicesub
#exbullriders
A tragic accident nearly stole their happily ever after. The magic of Rawhide might be just what they need to get it back…
“Would it be okay if I put some music on while I clean?” he asked as he strode around the room, taking it all in. “Unless the owner of that guitar would like to play for me instead?”
His gaze slid from Wylde to me. Was that a challenge? A request? When Wylde didn’t immediately answer, I answered for him, just in case he was tempted to make a bunch of flimsy excuses about why he couldn’t.
“He’d be happy to,” I said as I lifted the case off the couch and passed it to him.
“Yes, yes, I would,” Wylde said, smirking, without even the least bit of hesitation about accepting it from me.
Finally!
My brain was screaming yes, yes, yes as he pulled it out and started tuning it up, while Payne finished taking a tour of the room like he was looking for the perfect place to start. At least he hadn’t run away screaming. If anything, the bright smile on his face had only grown when he’d seen the state of the cabin.
Alrighty then. It seemed like Wylde had the right idea after all.
“In that case, I’ll just be right over here enjoying the show,” I said, matching Wylde smirk for smirk as I settled into the easy chair and immediately jumped to my feet when I realized there was something hard and lumpy underneath the cushion. Shaking my head, I lifted it to reveal a portable charging block.
“Oh nice, I was looking for that,” Wylde said as he tuned up his guitar.
“I can certainly see why you two need my services,” Payne said. “If you’d waited any longer to call, I’d have had to bring in a whole team of kitties to help, and I think I’d much rather have you both all to myself.”
Whoa.
Sexy Kitty winked at me, and my brain went blank. Full stop, loud screech of tires as the brakes slammed on, I sat back down, missing the edge of the coffee table when I attempted to place the charger on it. I nearly bumped heads with Payne when we both bent to retrieve it. Then our flirty boy shook a finger at me, and I straightened up and let him retrieve it and place it where I’d intended to.
Pining for Payne can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Pining-Payne-Submissives-Rawhide-Ranch-ebook/dp/B0GQ5J6FGG
