Digging Chapter Thirteen: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/ichw683lkr
Hi everyone! I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to post Digging this week LOL. I tried to release Cookie this week but the soonest Amazon would allow was on Monday, SO it'll be out on the 21st!
I had an email about how Gmail clips my newsletter since the weekend edition is long. If you click on the link that says "View in Browser" on the TOP RIGHT of the email, if opens out how it should look. If you click on the one at the bottom it opens it out but it makes it hard to read. I hope that helps because while the weekend edition is long, there is a lot of good information there.
In reading news, I just started The Bait by NR Walker, loving it so far. The Christmas short was also very fun. It was nice to see them not being assassins LOL. I've been watching Invasion on Apple TV, it is so good! We did a free trial to see if we'd like it and have been trying to watch everything we can. We also watched The Gorge, it was very different and I loved it, also Fitch with Tom Hanks. Very very good!
I will be going to Australia in September for GLO. I was going to also be at RARE. I cancelled as an author, I'll still be there but just helping Nic. Here's the preorder form for GLO. https://beventi.co/orderform/asssc2ccz4

Every day for the past few weeks, Charlie Castle has been going to the park across the street from the auto shop, hoping for a chance to meet the new guy from the bookstore with the shock of red hair and a penchant for pink sugar cookies.
Ryan wasn’t looking for love when he met Charlie, but meeting Charlie might just give him everything he never knew he needed. MM Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Found Family

Camping 101
BL Maxwell
Covers by: Covers By Jo
Gavin Johnson has been camping as long as he can remember. His family spent a few weeks every summer either on the coast of California or in the forests of the Sierra enjoying the simple life and getting closer to nature. Which is why when he had the opportunity to buy Camp Acorn where he’d worked in his twenties, he jumped at the chance.
Wyatt Jackson loves his life. He has everything he wants or needs at home. But he starts to crave change. He wants a new start, and new experiences. When he sees an ad for a camp for adults nestled deep in the Sierra, he registers for a two-week stay before he has the chance to change his own mind, and quickly regrets that decision.
Staying in a cabin for two weeks is supposed to be an adventure, but Wyatt soon realizes it’s far from luxurious, and there’s also poison oak, bugs, and rattlesnakes to watch out for. Gavin is always there to lend a hand and really wants them all to have fun. Afterall, that’s what Camp Acorn is all about, teaching adults how to have fun and survive in the wilderness, even if they complain the whole time. Opposites Attract, MM Romance

After quitting his job, Billie Watts hits all the food festivals he can as he drives across the country. When he finally reaches Stoney Brook, Maine, he’s excited to find he’s there just in time to try one of the lobster rolls he’s heard so much about. The bright neon yellow food truck with a giant red lobster on top looks like the perfect place to try it.
Lance Karl is as ready as he can be for the start of the three-day Tall Ships Festival and hopes to sell enough lobster rolls out of his food truck to make a good start towards owning a restaurant. The day begins cold and misty, and a text from his nephew saying he can’t help him is not the perfect start he’d hoped for.
When a green-eyed stranger interrupts his frantic morning, Lance doesn’t realize meeting Billie will not only change his day, but maybe even the rest of his life. Two strangers, drawn together over their work ethic, and sealing the deal over delicious lobster rolls. They could just be the perfect match. A small-town MM Vacation romance.

Finding Isaac
Foggy Basin Season Two
Preorder for August 13
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.
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.
I still don't have a blurb!!!!

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?

Menotté avec toi
Handcuffed with you
From Authors Layla Dorine & TL Travis
https://books2read.com/Menotteavectoi
Despite the breakup of their marriage, Harper and her ex-husband Simon remained friends. As co-owners of the popular lifestyle club, Menotté avec toi, they decided to put out an open call to local artists to fill the colorful walls of their freshly renovated club.
Harper expected bright colors and sensual art. What she didn’t expect was to find love.
On a whim, free spirited Sonnet attends the call out having come to a bit of a crossroads in her career. Maybe this was just the spark she needed to fill those empty canvases haunting her studio.
Will Sonnet be the one to soothe Harper’s soul and in return can Harper silence the cruel voices inside Sonnets head?

🌈 Join Ezzy and Axis as they chase fireflies, Roman, and a place to hide during a steamy game of flashlight tag.
🌈 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?
Welcome to Pride Camp where diversity and inclusion is our motto. We’ve got daddies, littles, pets and so much more. So, unroll your sleeping bag, make a couple smores, and enjoy the show!

Wild and uninhibited, Johnny gives the performance of a lifetime every time he gets up on the stage. He's been doing it for so long that the nights have blurred into an endless series of shows, parties, and partners, none of which make him truly happy anymore.
For all he's been able to accomplish, the one thing he's never done before was fall in love.
Until now.
Sudden, swift and unexpected, it's something he's ill equipped to handle, especially when the person he's fallen for isn't even a hundred percent certain he's into guys. It's more like he's dipping his toes into the pool with Johnny as his very eager, very willing partner. Only now that they've reached a point where Johnny's feeling are involved, he's not sure if his heart can handle living in limbo until Draven makes his decision.
