Weekend Update!
Aug 24, 2025 5:01 pm
Hi everyone! Welcome to the weekend. I have no plans this weekend other than writing so hopefully it's a very productive one. We've been very lucky through most of July and August to not have temperatures over 100 except for a few days, the past two have been very hot and I admit I do not like it as much as I used to lol.
I finished watching Ted Lasso and I can't say enough how much I love that series. The characters and the stories are very good, but I don't think they can ever redeem Nate to me. I also started watching the Alien Earth series. It's very different and I can't wait to see more episodes.
We just had another release today in the Foggy Basin series by TL Travis, and there will be another on the 24th by Layla Dorine! So, be sure to check them all out. Here's Digging: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/qthkiqrbkk
SURPRISE, I thought I'd share the cover for an upcoming release. I was going to try to release it in September but I'm not sure I'll be able to get it done. It was previously released in an anthology, O Deadly Night. I'm going to expand it so there will be new material.
It's an original story based on the Icelandic Yule Lads.
Blurb coming soon!

Finding Isaac
Foggy Basin Season Two
Finding Isaac: https://books2read.com/FindingIsaac
Series Link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DST7K6BR
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.

Burning Addiction (Consortium Trilogy Book One)
https://books2read.com/BurningAddictionCT1
Brennan Clayton lived a life of privilege and comfort, until experimenting with drugs in college led to him quitting school to live the life of an addict. His days are spent doing odd jobs for cash to pay for his habit. One night, he overdoses and nearly dies.
Doctor Lucas Martel works nightshift in the emergency room at Eureka Hospital. He’s reclusive and brilliant at his job, and he’s all too aware that not everything in Eureka is as it seems. He’s also a vampire, one who chooses to blend in with humans rather than feed on them.
Something strange is happening to the homeless and addicts on the streets of Eureka; many have gone missing or ended up dead, and others have overdosed on drugs so strong, no human cure can counteract them. Not normally concerned with human tragedies, the vampires can’t stand back and let this play out, or they risk exposing their world to the humans.
Brennan must face his demons, and Lucas will discover many things about himself, and what he believes to be true: a seedy underground of rogue vampires and drugs that must be stopped, at any cost. *Warning: contains references to drug use and abuse.

When they’re faced with their past, both men realize there’s little point in denying their feelings.

Caught on the set of a fast-paced show together, they’ll both need to decide if love is worth fighting for this time.

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.

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?

Omega Captive of the Golden Dragon – book 3
https://books2read.com/OmegaCaptive3
I’m a set-omega and I’ve been sold by my wolf pack to the dragons as a breeder.
My name is Caylen. I’m a wolf shifter whose inner beast is missing. This means I cannot shift. As a set-omega, my pack can’t scent me and I’m officially a non-member. Worse, I have lost all rights and can be sold to the highest bidder.
Dragons are wealthy but omega-poor. To keep their population stable, they have become the biggest set-omega importers and pay the most for breeders.
My fate is in the hands of strangers. I’m afraid but refuse to show it.
On the auction block, someone bids for me with pure gold amid gasps and wonder. What does that even mean? What will happen to me?

Series link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DST7K6BR
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.

The Road to Rocktoberfest 2025
Accidental Fire
Coming 10/13/2025
https://books2read.com/AccidentalFire-RTR2025
Series page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F855LRDY
Who’s gonna catch River when he falls? Maybe a burly road manager who wants nothing to do with a young, wild, hard-headed, rockstar?
River Ashe, lead guitar player for an up-and-coming band, “Accidental Fire,” is on the road without his famous father, Regal Ashe, lead singer and drummer for the band “From the Ashes." His brother, Skylar, is no longer around to be his conscience, having chosen the small-town life with his former football player husband, so River falls into the pitfalls of being on the brink of twenty-one without anyone to stop him from getting in trouble.
Kit Harmon, a truck driver responsible for seeing that a bands’ equipment makes it to the venue on time and intact, hates the idea of signing on with a rock baby band for a fifteen-city tour. When the head of the band’s record label contacts him personally and asks for a favor—and adds a sweetener to the deal if Kit will quasi-babysit the band—Kit decides the headaches might be worth the drama. Little does he suspect a beautiful brown-haired, blue-eyed kid will steal his heart.
The boys are back in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2025 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see if some of your past favorites poke their heads in. Err…voices. Hot rockstars, stolen kisses, drywall repairs and the men who drive them over the edge. What more could you ask for? Kick back, load up your ereaders and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!
