Weekend Update!
Jun 07, 2026 4:06 pm
Hi everyone! Welcome to the weekend. I have a LOT of new Bookfunnel Promotions and as usual two sales. All ebooks on my Payhip site will be half off June 7-June 28. Now like I said I plan to take more books out of KU so if I can get my act together I will add them to my Payhip store. REMEMBER this sale does not start until June 7 https://payhip.com/BLMaxwell/collection/ebooks
I'm making some ground on Cold Hearted, my next hockey romance. It's a little different since it's opposing team members and they're both known for not being the nicest on the ice. Hopefully I can release it by the end of the month!
I started watching a new series, Cracow Monsters. I'm only on the second episode and not sure if I like it or not but I'll give it a chance. Also Widow's Bay is getting good, and I also started the second season of Good Girls Murder Club. I always have the TV on in the background so a lot times I don't watch but only listen which also means I don't know what's going on LOL.
I'm adding the new Bookfunnel Promos but after this they'll be in the Tuesday newsletter.

Foggy Basin Pride
In The Name of Pride: https://books2read.com/FoggyPride
Series link: https://mybook.to/foggybasinpride
Jack is thrilled when it's announced that Foggy Basin will have a Pride Festival and immediately signs up Nuts and Bolts for a table at the park. Of course he enlists Isaac to help because there’s no way he’d say no. Neither of them knows what to expect but they're more than willing to experience it all.
Jack and Tig have experienced Pride before, and they’re excited to see what Foggy Basin has planned. The town might be small, but it’s full of heart and lots of curious people. Including a few unfamiliar faces who might stay after they sweep the last bit of glitter off the street.
Pride has finally come to the small town of Foggy Basin! Known mostly for family farms and the eccentric people that live there, the townsfolk are all excited to share in the celebration and curious about the drag show at the park.
Come celebrate the first Pride Day in Foggy Basin. You’ll get to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones where you’ll always be welcome and you won’t want to leave!

Herds and Hooves
Foggy Basin Season Three
https://books2read.com/HerdsandHooves
Keith Brooks has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his thirty-eight years and cannot imagine any reason to change that. He’s made a life for himself here trimming cattle hooves and occasionally working as a farrier when one of the nearby horse ranches needs it.
Bart Martin grew up in a suburb of Sacramento. Where conveniences are nearby, and he’s content with his life if not a little lonely and bored. Until he receives a call from his uncle, who lives in a tiny town in northern California that’s barely big enough to be on the map.
Bart is out of his element when he arrives at Foggy Basin during a Pride parade, and after getting lost. Lucky for him, Keith offers to help. He’s not sure he should trust the gruff man with arms the size of tree trunks, but he’s desperate. It’s a small decision that could change both their lives and force this city boy to learn to enjoy a life that he’s never considered.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Nestled at the base of the foothills in northern California, this small town is full of characters just waiting to tell you their story. Whether you’re just passing through or you decide to stay a while longer, you’ll always find a warm welcome from the townsfolk. From farmers and animal rescues to artists and small business owners. Foggy Basin has it all.

Dane Jones has been touched by the spirit world. Once his powers were awakened by a cursed object, he tried to find peace with them. But the forces from beyond don’t play by the rules, and soon he’s wondering why he thought he had any hope of control over them.
Griff Warren loves Dane, and no matter how weird things may seem, he’ll always be there for him. But strange occurrences make him question if Dane’s keeping a secret, or if there’s more to the strange marks Dane bears.
Dane and Griff are thrown into more supernatural trouble than they can handle, and Janis, their psychic guide, knows it. She arranges for help from The Running Scared Paranormal guys and two strangers from the morgue, Bran and Jordan. First, they’ll lose their abilities, next they’ll have their powers challenged, and if they can’t stop what has been put into motion, no one will survive. #gayparanormalromance #supernatural #ghosthorror #urbanfantasy #MMRomance

Luka trades the short-term approval of his lover by helping with a home robbery for the gilded cage of Captain Clarke’s cruise ship.
A year of servitude, a court-mandated reprieve from prison, all thanks to his influential father’s deal. Sadly, Luka’s immediate future includes scrubbing the decks and hauling suitcases, a stark contrast to the prison sentence he could have faced alongside his lover, Maleko. Haunted by the ghost of his lover’s absence and his own guilt, Luka grapples with newfound tenderness coming from the least expected person.
Captain Westly John Clarke, an experienced maritime hardliner, enforces the court’s contract with grim adherence. Beneath the surface, something shifts. Luka’s boyish charm chips away at the older man’s icy exterior. Still, he keeps Luka at arm’s length, unable to forget the bitter memories of the young man’s past. As the Captain battles his own awakening heart and hidden secrets, his compass spins out of control, adding to the chaos.
