Weekend Update!
Sep 21, 2025 5:21 pm
Hi everyone! I'm so glad to be finished working this week, now I'm working on book stuff to hopefully be ready to leave on Monday evening. I leave Sacramento around 8pm on the 22nd and get to Brisbane at 6am on the 24th. It's hard to try to figure out all the different timelines and my brain is just not willing to try LOL.
If you follow me on Facebook I'll be posting pictures of our adventures and GLO and RARE so check it out if you're there.
I had a great review for the Small Town City Collection that I'll share below. I hope you check it out. I'm looking at making it all an audiobook but it's a lot to finagle.

Anchor Grey
https://books2read.com/AnchorGrey
Devon Grimes got his big break by filling in on drums for his uncle Glen in his band Blinding Light. Being in his own band Anchor Grey with his new boyfriend Johnny was like a dream come true. Until reality came knocking.
Johnny Brown has made every attempt to hold his band together, but nothing seems to work for long. He hopes Devon can be the glue that holds them together this time. But being in a relationship with the drummer is both amazing and frustrating.
Devon and Johnny both share a love of music and a need to play in a successful band, so the chance to tour with Blinding Light is too good to be true. But life on the road isn’t easy on a band or a relationship, and navigating both can be tricky. The road to Rocktoberfest is a minefield loaded with obstacles neither of them expect and will test their resolve to stay together or go it alone.
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!

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.

From Authors Layla Dorine & TL Travis
Series Page: https://books2read.com/rl/PrimordialProtectors
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?

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.

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?

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.
Welcome to Pride Camp where diversity and inclusion is our motto. We’ve got daddies, mommies, littles, pets and families of all kinds. So, unroll your sleeping bag, make a couple smores, and enjoy the show!

MM Proximity Romance (Neighbors)
New in town, how about you show me around
MC with an Eating Disorder
“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?”
