Hi everyone! When I mailed out Christmas cards I had three cards that came back to me. The addresses were correct and I'd remembered to put stamps on them, yes this has happened in the past, so I took them to the Post Office and was told to mail them again. So I did, and this week they were returned AGAIN. I've resent them, and another for a reader who had not received theirs either. So if you did not get one, I'm sorry, and hopefully next year they have it together.

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?

He wants to help them, even if they terrify him with their aggressive tactics to get him to acknowledge their existence.

“There’s no time. Remember, I love you.”It all started with a discovery. A cave beneath a waterfall that held a crystal. Two boys—best friends—embark on a journey they’re told will help all mankind. As the years go by, their friendship turns to love, and their adventure turns into a battle.
Drew Langly is the keeper of the crystal. With his contact, the crystal allows them to jump to different timestreams and help, if they can, to further that society or fix anything that improves their lives. When he’s ripped from the timestream, it’s the beginning of what will change everything they’ve come to know about how the different timestreams function.
Colby Adams is Drew’s boyfriend, fellow traveler, and jump partner. When Drew is left vulnerable after a failed jump, he’s there to help and try to figure out what went wrong. They soon discover another team of travelers is in trouble, but they’ve been warned against trusting them.
The more they learn, the more they realize everything has been a lie. To rewrite a history that’s been full of deceit, they’ll need to put their trust, once again, in strangers. Can they rewind it all and begin again? Experience the history they were always meant to? With some unconventional help, maybe…

“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.”
Whipping his head around, Johnny expected to see someone on fire, or at the very least, a couple guys in ski masks with guns rushing out of the jewelry store across the street. Instead he was blinded by the flash of someone’s camera phone, and it didn’t stop at one. No matter how many times it happened, Johnny was never prepared for it. The illusion he’d been lost in as he’d sauntered down the street was shattered as someone started yelling.
“It’s Johnny Amaral, oh my god, it’s Johnny from Blissfully Immune! We just saw you at Rocktoberfest.”
“Johnny can I have your autograph.”
“Johnny can I have your baby?”
Somebody touched his hair and Johnny whirled, only to have Draven’s arm wrap around him as he snarled at the person not to touch Johnny. His voice was drowned out by the crowd, but they couldn’t do anything about his size as he treated them like the buildings in a classic Godzilla film and began mowing them down. Johnny just clung to his side and let Draven shove them free of the crowd.

“So I should, what, go wander around aimlessly? See a movie? Visit a museum?” Danny tossed out beginning to pace and fiddle with the dish-rag more. “Well, it has been awhile since I’ve done much of anything besides work on my plays and put up with Sean.”
“Well,” Jax said, the grin on his face stretching just a little bit more. “I’m off tomorrow, you could always show me around the city.”
Danny stopped pacing and turned to look at Jax, nodding his head slowly, as he considered it. “Yeah, yeah I can do that. Maybe you’re right, it might be good for me.”
Jax clasped him on the shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.
“Awesome, and think of it this way, even if it doesn’t work, at least you’ll be doing a good deed and keeping me from wandering around aimlessly getting lost. I have a horrible sense of direction.”
“Well in that case, I guess you do need a guide. What time do you want to head out?”

“You went silent, still, your eyes changed, what did you see when you looked at my future.”
Darian shook his head. “I was thinking, Zxex, I wasn't scanning you. I've done enough of that tonight, so if you don't mind pissing off, I’d be eternally grateful.”
“Don't think you can dismiss me so easily, not this time, Darian! I was good to you. I cared about you and you shit all over it.”
“Showing you the future isn't going to make up for the way things ended between us,” Darian rushed to point out. “I was a dick. I was scared. I’d let you in further than I’d let anyone in a very long time and I didn't know how to handle what I was feeling. When I was with you, I… There were times when I wanted to say to hell with bounty hunting and tracking folks down and just let you show me what my other options were. You seemed so convinced that I was...”
Darian shrugged as he struggled with his words.
“Special? Yeah, I thought you were.”

For Chuck, Tae was his entire world, and the fact they occasionally worked together just made their relationship even more perfect. But something was bothering his sweet boy, and being the natural caretaker he was, Chuck longed to fix it.
But even Tae couldn’t figure out what it was, so how could his daddy help him?
Tae had no issues painting murals for his little friends’ playrooms, but for his own, he was lost. He’d sit for hours in the empty space, his thoughts wandering through a kaleidoscope of ideas yet never landing on just the right one.
And Daddy had worked so hard, painting his room a color that was the perfect canvas to display his art on, but Tae kept coming up empty. Lost and desperate for his own space, those four walls tormented him, and he felt his gift was out of reach.
What will it take for Tae to finally let go and achieve that sense of peace he felt while painting murals for others? And what was it about this room that caused his mind to go…blank?
Sheesh, some artist he was…
Daddy’s Little Artist is part of The Lactin Brotherhood series about men who naturally lactate and the guys who need them. In this standalone, you’ll get a sweet and sexy story that brings together a sexy Daddy and an adorable and loving Little.

The Lonely Heroes Series Spinoff
Power Players Book 2
https://books2read.com/TheLobbyist
What happens to a powerful man when he becomes a moving target? A hero must emerge to remove the bullseye from his back! Welcome to Washington, DC, where the Power Players are more intriguing than anything happening under the Capitol Dome.
Lobbyist Sean Fitzpatrick is a force on Capitol Hill, crusading for the rights of those in need of a champion. Women. Minorities. His own rainbow community. He doesn’t back down from a fight, even though sometimes his means to an end aren’t exactly ethical.
When he finds out his assistant and sometimes friend-with-benefits is shopping his dirty laundry to the highest bidder, Sean takes the matter in hand and fires the young man. A few days later, Sean’s car blows up in the garage of his office building, bringing Sean into the spotlight in a very unflattering way.
Jericho Hess served his country until an accident brought about his medical discharge. The desire to serve his country doesn’t disappear as he fights his personal demons, and when he gets a chance to be of service to someone who needs protection, he steps in at the urging of a few Lonely Heroes.
Upon meeting Sean Fitzpatrick, Jericho is attracted to the man’s no-nonsense approach to grabbing life by the balls and hanging on, devil be damned. Can Jericho, a real-life cowboy, ever adjust to the man’s sometimes caustic attitude and keep the man alive, even though Jericho would like to strangle him on occasion. Could Sean ever enjoy life on the ranch without all the trappings of his free-wheeling Washington, DC, lifestyle?
The Senator
Power Players Book 1
In the nation’s capital, if someone isn’t scratching your back, they’re stabbing it. Can Spencer recover from a devastating professional loss? What does the future hold for his marriage, and will he ever learn the identity of the person responsible for outing him?

MM Romance | Trust Issues | Self-Exile | Hidden Identity | German Professor | Russian Mafia Son
✮✮ ✮ ✮
Adrik Marinov spent his life running from a mafia throne he never wanted. Raised in the shadows by a ruthless Russian father, he learned to lead with violence and trust no one. He finally walked away from the family empire, but he couldn’t forget who he was. Restless and guarded, he was a man looking for an escape, haunted by the fear that he’d never be free as long as his father was still breathing.
Hans Schoroeger was a quiet professor living in Germany who thought his heart was safer behind books than with a person. He had traded heartbreak for books and the ocean, convincing himself he was better off alone. Deep down, he still craved to be someone’s “only choice.”
One is running from a Russian crime empire. The other is a novelist who gave up on happy endings.

MM Rockstar Romance, Rock Bands, Hurt to Comfort, Rebellious Singer, Mysterious Drummer.
Jace Adams, a rebellious rock singer, commands the stage with a raw energy that denies his past. At sixteen, he chose the uncertainty of the streets over the constraints imposed by his strict religious upbringing. A decision leads him to Nico, a drummer with a rhythm as mysterious as his mafia heritage. Together, they form the band Sacred Fire, blending their gritty street style into a symphony of success.
Nico Greco, the drummer navigates the treacherous waters of his family’s mafia ties while drumming up a storm on stage. Despite the sparks flying between him and Jace, he keeps his heart guarded, adhering to his father’s stern warning: love is a luxury that could cost him his life.
Jace harbors a secret passion for Nico, a love so intense he would forsake all others. But his vices—drinking, smoking, and a revolving door of romances—keep Nicko at arm’s length. Unbeknownst to Nico, Jace is ready to sacrifice it all for a chance at true harmony with him. Will the beat of their hearts synchronize, or will the melody of their love remain unsung?
