Welcome to the Weekend!
Nov 16, 2024 8:26 pm
Hi everyone! I hope you all get to do something fun this weekend.. I worked too many days in my other job this week so now I'll be chained to my laptop writing LOL. It could be worse. I was curious how many books I've written, and according to Amazon its 63, but I also have some translations, collections and a few shorts in anthologies so I think its probably around 80 something. Apparently once I decided to write my brain was on full steam ahead. Thank you to all of you that have been along for the ride the past 6 years, and I'm hoping next year is just as creative and productive as this year. Now to the good stuff.

Resigned to give up his club membership, Casey walks the halls one last time to say his goodbyes.
A brief pause in front of the littles room changes Casey and Chase’s lives in the best of ways.

Coming 11/25/2024
https://books2read.com/TlTwinkle
Series link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW19RBG4
If not for the beautiful bear I just met, I might be cursed forever.
Twinkle is a snarky elf with more attitude than brains. When he tests Santa’s patience one too many times, Santa turns him into an elf figurine and banishes him from the North Pole. Much to his annoyance, he is packaged and mailed to a stranger’s address. From there, he must shift into human form to find his fated mate by Christmas or become an elf figurine forever.
Monty is a bear shifter who prefers to live away from his family and pack. When a package appears on his doorstep on Christmas morning, he opens it to discover a cute elf statue. He can find no return address, and sets the elf on his coffee table. When he next looks, a handsome man with pointed ears is sitting where the statue was.
The man says his name is Twinkle, and he begins to tell Monty a ridiculous story about a real North Pole and a Santa who doesn’t understand him.
Monty is not sure he can trust Twinkle, but something about the elf draws him in as he listens to his silly stories of multiple Santas, elves, flying reindeer, hidden Christmas villages, and more. And when Twinkle begins to go into heat, Monty feels his own rut begin to surface. Can he believe Twinkle’s tall tales? Whatever happens, this could turn out to be the best or the worst Christmas present ever.
Santa’s Naughty Elves brings you a new series of Christmas magic, fated mates, and adorable babies from some of your favorite mpreg authors. Be sure to grab them all and see what knotty fun Santa has brought good alphas and omegas this holiday season.

Three Part Harmony
The Road to Rocktoberfest 2024
https://books2read.com/ThreePartHarmony
Series Page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CST821YC
Mike Emory: I’m the drummer for Chaos, a band I created with my best friend, Fletcher back when we were teenagers with big ambitions and stars in our eyes. A chance meeting with the rock god, Dagger Drummond catapulted our careers into the stratosphere. There’s no looking back now because keeping the trajectory of our rising star heading skyward requires a dedication and persistence I wasn’t prepared for. Humor helps me keep my life simple. I’m known for having the ability to laugh at just about anything—including myself. I may be a successful musician but unlike my best bud, I’m unlucky in love. Instead I became an Olympian at hook-ups. My favorite combination is a triad. But, finding two perfect partners to share life with long-term is unlikely to happen. It’s a good thing I have the broad and capable shoulders of my personal security guard to cry on because sometimes life is hard on the soul. And sometimes love creeps up when you least expect it, and in the least likely place of all—right under your nose.
Griffin Sanstrom: My job is to protect Michael which isn’t always easy to do. He thinks he’s a comedian, when most often he’s just being a brat. I’m on to him though, because I know sometimes those who laugh the loudest are the ones crying on the inside. I’m supposed to be his shadow but the closer I find myself getting, the weaker I am at putting distance between us. I want to be with him all the time—even when I’m not on duty. Now doing my job objectively has become a problem. Working in personal security we’re not allowed to have distractions from the job, but what happens when the man you’ve fallen for becomes the biggest distraction of all?

Skylar Ashe, a mild-mannered band teacher, hates the spotlight. His father is the drummer and lead singer for From the Ashes, a hard-partying eighties hair band on the brink of a comeback—until Skyler’s father has a cardiac event during a scandalous liaison.
The band has been invited to play Rocktoberfest, but without their leader behind the drum kit, their comeback may be lost before it gets off the ground. Skyler’s mom guilts him into taking the sticks until the elder Ashe is up to performing again, though Skyer would rather face a dentist’s drill without Novocain.
Sanders “Sandy” Kensington, former defensive tackle for the Chicago Breeze, doesn’t have much going on since being pressured to retire from football. His little brother is the manager of a washed-up eighties hair band, and when one of their gold records is used in an action-movie blockbuster, Sandy’s goaded into helping his brother keep the band members out of trouble.
Enter a stalker driven to keep From the Ashes off the stage. It seems Skyler is the target, and Sandy vows to protect him while struggling with his attraction to the young drummer.
Will Skyler’s kindness and innocence hurt the band’s rock star image, or will Sandy introduce Skyler to the ways of the world? Will the looks that Smolder between them go unnoticed, or will they become the stars of the show?

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 Nicko, 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.
Nicko Greco, the drummer with a legacy as complex as his beats, 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.
As they rise from the ashes of their former lives, Jace harbors a secret passion for Nicko, 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 Nicko, 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?

Broken Chorus:
Change has never come easy for Aaron, even when it’s been for his own good. He avoids it when he can, rebelling against anything the least bit uncomfortable. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to prevent the implosion of his band. Now he must decide how to deal with the fallout.
Quit?
Or help his best friend and former bandmate build something new?
He wished the choice was easy, but there are too many triggers buried in his head and old memories dredged up when ghosts from his past reach out to him.
~~~
Hawk loved making music. A life of travel and performing was the only one he’d ever pictured for himself. When an accident left him the guardian of his brother’s three children, he was forced to make some tough decisions. The ripples sent shockwaves through his band and decimated friendships in the process.
His choice gave him an instant family.
But does it have to cost him the man he loves?
Hawk might be on his way to the grocery store while Aaron heads for the desert, but there are many roads to Rocktoberfest and many ways of uniting a family.
Exclusive snippet:
“I needed to quit drinking,” Aaron said as he stepped into the elevator to head back down to his unit. “It was getting too out of control. I should have stopped when I first started to hate the way it made me feel about myself, but I kept trying to rationalize it, make vows, and set deadlines I knew I’d never keep. The only good thing losing you did for me was make me see that I needed to make some changes before I wasn’t around to see if there could ever be other possibilities for us.”
“We both did. Maybe we can help each other get to where we need to be to make it work.”
“I’m willing to try anything but another one of those meditation retreats,” Aaron said, pleased to get a chuckle out of Hawk. “All that silence had me about ready to claw my skin off.”
“I seem to recall you leaving a few well-placed scratches on mine as well.”
“And if memory serves, you were the one who initiated the whole thing, then damn near smothered me when that mindfulness facilitator knocked on the door and reminded us that silence was supposed to be observed even in the privacy of our rooms.”
“And you bit me, you little shit!”
“So I could breathe, fucker!”
“Funny, I don’t remember you complaining about any of the other times I cut off your airway,” Hawk said.
“That’s because you were doing it with something far more interesting than your hand.”
“Damnit, you had to go there!”
“I just followed your lead.”
Hawk growled, and it seemed like the conversation was about to drift into familiar territory for them, one in which they used sex and innuendos to avoid dealing with the heavier shit. Only he was interrupted by the terrified voice of a little boy screaming about there being a giant spider on his wall.
“Shit…” Hawk groaned.
“Go.” Aaron said, disconnecting the call, though a part of him wondered what Liam had thought he’d seen and if Hawk would find anything more than a poorly placed stuffed animal, or a tiny house spider frantically scurrying to find a safe place to hide before it got squished. He’d have to ask the next time they talked, or Friday when he got up there, whichever came first.
Be patient with me.
Yeah. He could do that. It wouldn’t be easy, but then, not reaching out had already been driving him loopy. He’d been dealing with it, even if it had left him growly, frustrated and wishing they could talk the way they always had. He longed to sprawl out beside Hawk and watch a movie, laughing and bullshitting about the catastrophic number of explosions they managed to squish into 120 minutes.
As long as there was still a chance, he could do anything Hawk needed him to, including finish the song that had shredded his heart while they’d be writing it. If there was ever a string of words that embodied the breath and scope of their fucked-up relationship, it was right there in Shattered Beasts. The only thing he wasn’t sure he could do, was not fall to pieces while he completed it.
