Hello from Brisbane
Sep 28, 2025 3:42 am
Hi everyone, I arrived here a few days ago, and I cannot say enough about how nice the weather has been. The hotel we're at is close to a beautiful park and near enough to walk to most anything we need. So it's been great so far.
I haven't been able to get any writing done so no Digging update this week. Hopefully I can get it done next week. If you're at GLO stop and say hello.
Here's all the good stuff!

How does one achieve a firm but gentle hand with talons?
Well, step one involves keeping the claws in check.
And avoidance.
Both of which my big brother told me would fail.
I tried them anyway. Several times, several different ways.
No matter the method, Ionus was right—just don’t tell him I admitted to that.
Fate dropped sweet, timid Emerson into Caro’s err, wings? Arms? Clutches? Now it’s up to Caro what to do with him.
Emerald Waves is book 2 in the Primordial Protectors series. An omega with a haunting past, a protector with zero clue how to be a mate. How can they be what each other needs when they don’t even know what they need themselves?

Music was Bowie’s everything. From the moment his father placed a guitar in his hands until a motorcycle wreck nearly stole his ability to play,
When his backstabbing bandmates cast him out rather than wait for him to heal, they left him drifting with bitterness and scars. Now, he plays in the shadows, a lost star who never had the chance to shine.
Freshly hired to the Masterson Management family to manage their latest band endeavor, Imminent Danger. Though he feared what this may do to his employment he couldn’t walk away. Everything about Bowie called to him on levels he couldn’t fathom. The haunting look in Bowie’s eyes awoke a calling deep inside Pressley Darren. The urge to nurture and protect, to keep him safe from the harsh, cruel world.
Will the broken guitarist open up to Darren and thus thrust himself into the limelight where he belongs? Or will he succumb to the darkness inside and continue to hide away from the rest of the world.

Aspen: Omega reindeer shifter Aspen needs to get away from his family for the holidays. Every one of his six siblings are married and have children. When will you settle down? they always ask. He’s tired of it. And holidays are the worst.
Instead of going home, this year he books a room at the famous Winter Wonderland Wilderness Lodge. He looks forward to shifting in the snow to the sound of sleigh bells, great restaurant food, the lodge’s critically acclaimed tree lighting ceremony, and warm cozy movie nights eating caramel popcorn balls in front of the fireplace that comes with each room. Alone.
Dale: Thirty-year old human Dale loves his two-week winter vacations. It’s his downtime from a stressful job.
Every year he declines party and family invitations, choosing to spend Christmas alone hiking through snowy realms, relaxing in a hot jacuzzi overlooking icy forests, and ordering room service whenever he wants. Winter Wonderland Wilderness Lodge has every amenity he desires, and he’s looking forward to an amazing, relaxing vacation. Alone.
What these two men don’t know is that a clerk overbooked all the rooms at the lodge. Now the choice is either to double up and make the most of sharing a room or go home. And neither one wants to leave.

A Murder for Crow
Retiring from the sport he loved had never been part of Crow’s five-year plan. Unfortunately, the head injuries he’s amassed over years of Mixed Martial arts fighting have left him little choice but to throw in the towel and begin a new, shaky road toward…what? He’s got no clue, that’s for sure.
Jaylon’s way too old to be starting over, or at least, that’s what he tells himself before Crowley “Crow” Davies pulls up to the cabin Jaylon was renting out, a beautiful hitchhiker in tow.
Now he’s got one eye on Crow and one on Owen, a budding new dynamic forming between them, but will it all come crashing down when Crow’s best friend, Jesse, shows up, looking to reconnect? The chemistry between the sheets is smokin’ hot, but there’s always been something missing, something the two never could put their fingers on.
Can the inclusion of Owen and Jaylon provide the pieces they’ve always needed or will someone find themselves left out in the cold?

A Little Campfire Blues
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?

One man was running from roots. The other was still learning how to plant them.
Clayton Robinson thought he’d found peace behind the bar of his cozy pub in Lodi, California, where the drinks flowed easy, the regulars felt like family, and the open road was just a distant hum. Relationships? Not his thing. He liked freedom too much… until he stepped into the Rainbow Coffee Shop in Stockton and met Sawyer Gallagher.
Sawyer doesn’t do first moves. He barely knows how to trust. Raised on an isolated farm, homeschooled and cut off from the world, he fled everything he knew after uncovering a family secret that shattered his past. But when Clayton notices the small bracelet on Sawyer’s wrist, the one Sawyer wears as a silent signal of hope, something shifts.
What begins with coffee turns into a trip neither planned. Along the way, laughter cracks open silence. Long-held secrets are confessed at Summer Pride Camp. And that tiny spark? It doesn’t stay small for long in a shared tent.
Sometimes love doesn’t ask for permission. It just climbs over the fences we build—and dares us to follow.

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?
