Weekend Update!
Mar 29, 2026 4:11 pm
Hi everyone! I'm sorry there won't be a new update for The Do Over. My allergies are trying to kill me and I have to finish my taxes. But I promise there will be one next week.
The ARC copies for In The Name of Pride should be up soon. It's shorter than I thought it would end up, but it's longer than the miniumum so I guess it's as long as it should be. All of the shorts are good, and we've all had fun reading each others books.
Next I'll finish Cold Blooded the next book in Sacramento Titans series. I'm not sure how many books there will be. I'd like to do at least one more, but you never know.
Have a great weekend everyone! Here's all the good stuff!

The Vampire
https://books2read.com/TheVampire
(Ebook Paperback, and Hardcover)
Marlon Byrne was born long ago in a distant country, but for close to a century he’s been buried deep in the ground in the small town of Occident. He’d grown lonely, and the prospect of living out his existence with a mate was too hard to ignore. Which is how he ended up in a grave in the cemetery.
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.

Devon Grimes got his big break by filling in on drums for his uncle Glen in his band Blinding Light. Being in his own band Anchor Grey with his new boyfriend Johnny was like a dream come true. Until reality came knocking.
Johnny Brown has made every attempt to hold his band together, but nothing seems to work for long. He hopes Devon can be the glue that holds them together this time. But being in a relationship with the drummer is both amazing and frustrating.
Devon and Johnny both share a love of music and a need to play in a successful band, so the chance to tour with Blinding Light is too good to be true. But life on the road isn’t easy on a band or a relationship, and navigating both can be tricky. The road to Rocktoberfest is a minefield loaded with obstacles neither of them expect and will test their resolve to stay together or go it alone.

⋰⋱★ ⋰⋱★ ⋰⋱★
Adrik Marinov had been raised to inherit a Russian crime empire and shaped into the monster his father wanted. Walking away should’ve given him freedom, but Viktor Marinov didn’t let go of blood. As long as Adrik was alive, he was a target.
Hans Schroeger was everything Adrik wasn’t—steady, gentle, and safe. He was a quiet professor living in Germany who thought his heart was safer behind books than with a man. He’d traded heartbreak for novels and the ocean, convincing himself he was better off alone… until Adrik crashed into his peaceful world.
Their connection was instant. Hans offered the peace and love Adrik never believed he deserved; Adrik woke something in Hans he thought he’d buried.

After he escapes from a madman, Jex finds himself working for a kind, old woman in a beach town in Delaware. He can tell the widow has suffered a broken heart, much like himself. Soon, Jex starts to believe his life might just turn around if he can manage to stay under the radar until the trial.
When he crosses paths with a handsome policeman named Elijah Moore, Jex hopes it’s a sign that his dark cloud is about to make way for sunny skies.

Unbeknownst to either of them, a dangerous secret has been whispered to the bees, and as everyone knows, the bees never give up their secrets…

First there was Damaged Saints and their adorkable St. Bernards, sinfully delicious new singer, and the pyrotechnics incident that had been haunting them for a year.
Then there was Echoes of a Muted Song, and a formally unrequited love that blooms into a love song, despite court cases, rabid fans, and the newfound pressures of fame.
Now they’re fully emersed in their tour and anonymity is a thing of the past. As fears, desires, insecurities and longing come to light, the band members not only grow closer to one another, but the men who have sworn to protect them with their lives.

Rebel: The biggest drawback to fame? The sudden swarms of random people recognizing me and losing their minds in the process. I used to fly under the radar. Now I’ve got to get extra creative when I want to slip away for extra-curricular activities. Sometimes I’m successful, most times not. Either way, the lectures are starting to suck, especially when they’re accompanied by Steel’s piercing looks of disapproval.
Kit: There’s no way this is real. Last year, when I subbed for Blissfully Immune’s iconic drummer, Osius, I figured it was a one and done deal. Only now they need a permanent relief drummer, and guess who got the nod to go out on the road with them? Oh my Goddess, pinch me! I can’t believe I’ve just been handed my dream. I just wish I knew with a hundred percent certainty that Rebel was cool with me being back after the explosive moment we shared.
Steele: One quiet and reserved drummer, the other a damned menace of a guitarist I don’t dare take my eyes off when I’m not on duty, because he’s always looking for some mess to jump into. The only saving grace is that I’ve not been assigned to guard either of them. Damn if they aren’t slowly causing my shriveled heart to start throwing off sparks of desire. But how to keep those possibilities from imploding before we can nurture them into a roaring flame?
Exclusive Excerpt: “Uh-huh. I will be reporting this, you know that, right?”
I just rolled my eyes and nodded. “Of course you will. Look, if you’re that hung up on me being down here, then it’s a simple fix. Come back upstairs with me and hang out. The highlight reels will be on right after the game and I’m dying to see how the rest of teams fared.”
“Didn’t realize you were that into the game.”
“I played until I reached a point where I was being pulled between hockey and music.”
“How’d you choose?”
Sighing, I decided to give him the scaled down answer because the truth was twisted, and complicated enough that it still pissed me off when I thought about it too long. “Went with the one I was best at. What can I say, I like things easy.”
I winked when I said it, because flirting was always a good way to end a Q and A session before it really got rolling. Should have known it would have zero effect on him.
“You forget, I see the energy that goes into your performances and the long hours each song takes to craft. If that’s your idea of easy I’d hate to see what you consider hard.”
Chuckling, I just raised my glass to my lips and peered at him over the top of it for a moment before draining the last of my beer.
