I"M BACK!
Apr 16, 2024 6:01 am
Hi everyone, I'm finally back home. I arrived in Sacramento last night around ten and was asleep by twelve LOL. So far I feel okay and I'm really hoping to not get hit with jet lag tomorrow becuase it's back to work for me.
The last country we visited was Iceland. It's amazing there with black beaches, waterfalls, iceburgs, glaciers, and a volcanic landscape that really is beautiful. It's also very cold LOL. We found a few rainbows but this one was perfect! I can't wait for our next adventure!

Since Bran Tanda started working at the morgue, his life has changed. He’s spent most of his life denying his necromancer abilities, but now he knows there’s no other choice but to embrace it and learn as much as he can about it. No matter how much he hates it.
Jordan Amid is becoming more comfortable being around the dead. But they still overwhelm him and terrify him. The coldness and the heavy emotions he associates with being near a spirit are nearly too much for him to take. But for Bran, he’ll try.
Bran and Jordan soon realize there is more going on than they understand, and even Janis isn’t sure how to handle what she knows is coming for them. Mysterious markings continue to appear and unless they can learn more from the journals Bran finds at his house, there may be no hope for anyone. #MMParanormal Romance #Urban Fantasy, #Necromancer #Empath

Some things are better left alone
Dane Jones works from home with only his three dogs for company. When he stumbles onto a social media page about urban exploring, he’s curious about different sites around Sacramento that seem like they’d be interesting to investigate. He starts chatting with Griff Warren, and after a few conversations he’s even more excited to go.
Griff Warren is also curious about urban exploring, but he has very little interest in experiencing something paranormal. When the guy he’s been chatting with in the online group is so enthusiastic to go, it’s contagious. They plan to go to a warehouse and while there, experience something they can’t explain.
Dane and Griff were looking for an adventure, but they find more than they bargained for at a deserted farmhouse on the river. When Dane finds an old toy discarded in one of the rooms, both of them are thrown into a world neither understands. Full of cursed objects, strange markings, and powers, neither knows how to handle. Lucky for them, Griff’s Friend knows exactly who can help. #MMParanormal, #UrbanFantasy #Friendstolovers #ManInPeril #ForcedProximity #Protector #GhostHorror #ParanormalSuspense

But when Cory finds him sleeping in a deckchair after the ship has sailed, he takes him to his cabin. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but he may have met his match in the cruise worker who can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #oppositesattract #smalltown/city #vacationromance

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance.

Strike A Chord
Chaotic Abyss book 1
https://www.books2read.com/Chaotic1
Cover model: Logan Blackthorn
Photographer: Wander Aguiar
Cover artist: Morningstar Ashley
Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.
Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.
Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.
Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.
If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?
Strike a Chord is book one in the Chaotic Abyss rockstar romance series featuring hurt/comfort, second chances, and a bartender who just wants to be left alone.

Pitch Perfect
Coming 5/17/2024
From Author Ann Lister
https://books2read.com/PitchPerfect
Gage Tennison: I’ve played the role of rockstar for an eternity—or so it seems. Coming off a long tour didn’t help my attitude, either. I should have been writing instead of partaking in the perks. So, while the rest of my band enjoyed a vacation, I was alone in the Adirondacks working. I guess I deserved that.
Everyone suggested a collaborator to push me through my block but it felt like cheating. I’d never needed help before, so why now?
Sometimes help appears when you least expect it. How was I to know the gorgeous man hired as my personal assistant would be exactly what I needed—professionally and personally. It was the latter which shocked me because I didn’t notice men—not like that. Not until a guy with striking gray-blue eyes locked gazes with me and the music we created wasn’t just on paper.
Cain Bennington: I’m very good at my job. I’m organized to a fault which makes me a perfect assistant for the high-end entertainers I work for.
Another secret skill I have is composing music. I hear nuances that others miss and I also understand the theory behind the verses. I might be proficient as an assistant but I shine even brighter as a composer. I’ve never showcased my abilities—until a certain rockstar dropped the challenge into my lap and before the album was completed, I’d fallen for him.
But as the entertainment business discovered my skills as a composer, they also learned a piece of my history I’d hoped to keep hidden. Now I wonder if my past will over-shadow the music we created or the relationship we built.

A Beach Far Away
BL Maxwell
Ryan Stone can’t wait to put his toes in the sand at the famous Bondi Beach. When he arrives after a flight that was far too long, and having not slept or eaten, all he can do is stare out at the beautiful expanse of white sand and blue ocean in awe. And when a blond guy asks him to play footy, he agrees, even if he doesn’t know for sure what that is.
Ollie Hughes thinks a day at the beach is just what he needs to take his mind off work. When he sees the cute but rumpled guy sitting by himself in the sand, he’s drawn to him. The more time they spend together, the less he wants the day to end. They end up spending a few days together, those few days turn into weeks, and neither is ready for their time together to end.
A lot of chemistry, and a little bit of luck make for an interesting day at the beach that both men are reluctant to end. Time and distance could be their biggest obstacle, but maybe some things are just meant to be. #meetcute #vacationromance #mmromance #low angst
