When a Purpose, and a Mission...

...lead to something else, entirely.


Yet, isn't that often the way in life? We make plans, and OMG --- they lead somewhere we'd never imagined.


That's the whole basis of Nathan and Og's story - Nathan Unwrapped.


But first, I want to say a quick hi. I'm so glad to be chatting with you again!March is almost here, and in my part of the world, it's getting sunnier. Not sure about you, but it really seems to help me. I love winter, but then...i need the sun.


What's it like in your part of the world? I'd love to hear, if you want to send me a quick response.

Back to Nathan and the man whose life he completely disrupts - Og.


This story takes place on Chesapeake Bay, in tiny Refuge Bay.


And Nathan? He's going back. Finally.


Here's the blurb:


He’s frozen in the past. Nathan Gentael is a savant painter, but he’s sworn off his art and all romantic relationships. But at least, with his best friend Zach, he can turn an old family property off Chesapeake Bay into a home for gay men that have been shredded by life, and give them a chance to recuperate. It’s his new mission.


Jake Augustine ‘Boom Boom’ Reiden—‘Og’—is a bulldozer. An ex-military man and a boxer, he hasn't met a problem he can't solve—until now. His brother Michael has been taken hostage. He needs a charity scheme to further his agenda, and this old house of a dump might just do it. Then—he’ll get out. 


But a fly in the ointment presents itself when he meets the poet with the deep eyes and the tortured soul. And when a seven-year old runaway girl by the name of Trasher shows up, both their hearts are in danger. Will they be able to go against all odds, get Michael back, and save the family they’ve become?

These two go through so much, but I love their journey. It's filled with heart, worry, challenge, and victory. Over and over, oh so many times.


Next time, I'll send you an excerpt. Meanwhile, if you want to check out Nathan and Og, they're on Amazon here: Nathan Unwrapped.


And if by chance, you'd like to hit reply and just say a quick, simple hi, or just wave to me — I’d love that.


Signing off for this time. I hope you have a wonderful March. :)
