Hi everyone!! This is a crazy week Blinding Light Audio JUST went live earlier today. I hope you'll give it a lesson. Guy Veryzer is very good with accents and he nailed Easy. I explained to him that Easy was born in Ireland, his parents are Irish, but he's lived in America for years so his accent isn't always obvious but when his emotions are high its very obvious. Link is below.

I'm currently working on Finding Isaac to get it all ready for release next month. I love Foggy Basin and I'm really enjoying Isaac and Tig's story. Of course Jack and Hudson are included. Still reading The Bait and wow it's good. I love how Harry and Asher are brutal to others, but they can flip a switch and be so loving to each other. I finished Invasion and I didn't LOVE how the series ended but there is another season so I'll be there for it.
I got this sweet review for Cookie from Ellie12345 If you're here Ellie, Thank you!

When Ryan Stone’s aunt asks for help with her bookstore, he leaves the city and moves to the small town of Grace, at least temporarily. He’s so busy cleaning and restocking the store he almost doesn’t notice the handsome mechanic that always seems to show up at the park at the same time he has his lunch.
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

Easy Rian has been lead singer for Blinding Light since the band was formed. Through the years many things have changed. Not all of them good. When the lead guitarist leaves mid-tour, the rest of the band is left waiting to see if they’ll continue on to Rocktoberfest, or if this is where their tour ends.
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. Meeting the band is surreal, especially the lead singer, Easy. Liam has always had a crush on Easy, but he never thought he’d get the chance to meet him, let alone spend time alone with him.
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

Camping 101
BL Maxwell
Covers by: Covers By Jo
Gavin Johnson has been camping as long as he can remember. His family spent a few weeks every summer either on the coast of California or in the forests of the Sierra enjoying the simple life and getting closer to nature. Which is why when he had the opportunity to buy Camp Acorn where he’d worked in his twenties, he jumped at the chance.
Wyatt Jackson loves his life. He has everything he wants or needs at home. But he starts to crave change. He wants a new start, and new experiences. When he sees an ad for a camp for adults nestled deep in the Sierra, he registers for a two-week stay before he has the chance to change his own mind, and quickly regrets that decision.
Staying in a cabin for two weeks is supposed to be an adventure, but Wyatt soon realizes it’s far from luxurious, and there’s also poison oak, bugs, and rattlesnakes to watch out for. Gavin is always there to lend a hand and really wants them all to have fun. Afterall, that’s what Camp Acorn is all about, teaching adults how to have fun and survive in the wilderness, even if they complain the whole time. Opposites Attract, MM Romance

Ankit has lived many lifetimes. Once, long ago, he was made of stone, and marked with symbols and sigils meant to safeguard him and allow him to protect and serve others. He’s a living gargoyle now, cursed to live as a human; always watching, at all times aware, and constantly searching for his fated one.
While walking home from his job as a librarian, Ethan Lewis is beaten and robbed. Ankit stumbles upon him, and instantly recognizes him as the man he’s fated to. He helps him back to his apartment, and after tending his injuries, watches over him.
Fate has woven their lives together for centuries, but in every lifetime, they could never live freely, or love each other as Ankit has often dreamed of. To change their destiny, they’ll fight together with other gargoyles, and a young watcher, who is unaware of the tremendous power she possesses. This will be the last battle against their creator, and they’ll either die fighting for their freedom, or survive to live the life they’ve always yearned for. MM Paranormal Fantasy

The cold isn’t the only killer in the wilderness.
Benjamin Coulton is a tracker employed by the Consortium, the ruling counsel of vampires. When he’s sent to investigate a rogue vampire killing indiscriminately in a remote region of Alaska. Bad weather hampers his effort and he loses the vampire he’s been tasked to find.
Leon Davis and his friend Trevor agreed to be winter caretakers for several cabins and a fishing lodge, thinking it would be easy money. They settle into their daily routine of checking the cabins for animal break-ins, or broken water pipes, and prepare for a long winter.
Until a run in with a vampire changes everything.
Ben finds a newly turned vampire left for dead by the rogue vampire, and suddenly Ben's mission changes course. In the freezing wilderness of Alaska, he uncovers more truths and the mate he'd always longed for... and now the vampire he was tasked to find is hunting them. #MMParanormalRomance#vampire#fatedmate#thriller

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.

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?

Archie Star’s life had always been marked by loneliness. After losing his mother at eleven, he was left with a father who never quite knew what to do with him. Even after earning a literature degree, Archie felt like a ghost in his own home, unseen and unneeded. When his cousin Andrew offered him a job at the Blue Star Diner in Foggy Basin, he took it as a sign. With nothing but a duffel bag and a restless heart, he climbed onto his motorcycle and rode toward a fresh start, hoping to find a place where he could finally breathe.
Andrew secured him a room in the home of Brogan Finnegan, a charming Irish high school teacher with a storyteller’s soul. Brogan had traveled the world before settling in Foggy Basin, drawn to teaching after years of volunteering in communities abroad. His warm home and steady presence offered Archie something he hadn’t felt in years—comfort, safety, and maybe even belonging.
Finding Archie is a story of love, healing, and the unexpected places where we find home.

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.
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.

🌈 Join Ezzy and Axis as they chase fireflies, Roman, and a place to hide during a steamy game of flashlight tag.
🌈 Three friends torn apart by jealousy and carelessly spoken words.
Only one has ever held on to the hope of them reuniting, and with a few well times suggestions and a whole lot of luck, he’ll finally have them in the same place together after eight years.
Eight long years of pining and wishing for a wand he could wave to put things back to the way they used to be. When the fireworks that burst forth at their reunion are sparked by a passionate embrace, he begins to hope that the two weeks that lay ahead of them at Pride Camp were going finally fix what was broken between them.
Especially when they meet a man interested in not one, or even two of them, but the trio they’d always been, and the potential is as limitless as the fireflies they chase along the banks of the lake. When the past rears its ugly head, can he find a way to lay it to rest forever, or will he lose them all as they lose themselves to bitter and angry grudges?
Welcome to Pride Camp where diversity and inclusion is our motto. We’ve got daddies, littles, pets and so much more. So, unroll your sleeping bag, make a couple smores, and enjoy the show!

Wild and uninhibited, Johnny gives the performance of a lifetime every time he gets up on the stage. He's been doing it for so long that the nights have blurred into an endless series of shows, parties, and partners, none of which make him truly happy anymore.
For all he's been able to accomplish, the one thing he's never done before was fall in love.
Until now.
Sudden, swift and unexpected, it's something he's ill equipped to handle, especially when the person he's fallen for isn't even a hundred percent certain he's into guys. It's more like he's dipping his toes into the pool with Johnny as his very eager, very willing partner. Only now that they've reached a point where Johnny's feeling are involved, he's not sure if his heart can handle living in limbo until Draven makes his decision.
