Month: December 2018

It’s out in the world!

After the death of his wife, Nick Valenti is raising his twins on his own. It’s no surprise when his son, Quinn, gets a part in the holiday show, but Nick is amazed when he shows up at the parent meeting and finds his old high school friend is now his son’s music teacher.

Emmett James is full of passion and energy, and Nick is captivated by him. Volunteering to help with sets gives Nick the opportunity to get to know the man Emmett has become. Sparks fly, flirting ensues, and Nick wants nothing more than to see where the attraction between them goes.

With Christmas in the air, and holiday music helping them along, will Nick and Emmett find a romance that can last?

Buy it here at JMS or Amazon or BN or Kobo or iBooks

And happy reading!

Okay, so I promised to update this weekend, and I’m here to do that. I intended to do more. I really did. But….

After a short bout with illness, and on the morning I was to take her to the vet, my beloved Phoebe passed away. To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement. I rescued her from the freezing cold four years ago, and she has been my constant companion, my lap barnacle, ever since. To think she won’t plant herself in my lap, mess with my yarn, or climb on my shoulder while I write ever again is devastating. My girl is gone, and I am very sad. And that makes it hard to do anything.

But I do have some books coming out and that’s exciting, even though my heart is heavy. Right now they are on sale at JMS, so if you’ve a mind, snatch them up at the cheaper price.

Releasing on Saturday, December 15th

Snowed In: Jonah and Cooper

Jonah Lyons is looking forward to spending a weekend at a cabin with his sister, Ellie. So the last thing he expects is for his ex-boyfriend to show up.

Captain Adrian Cooper was once the love of his life, but Jonah thinks he’s moved past it. Getting trapped together because of a snowstorm wasn’t on the agenda, but it means they either have to talk or murder each other.

When Cooper admits the reason he left, Jonah doesn’t know how to react. The depth of Cooper’s love has never waned, and Jonah realizes he still loves Cooper, too. Now he needs to decide if he can forgive Cooper. Can he give them both the second chance they deserve?

Okay so I’ve been largely absent from social media for the better part of 2 months. I’ve posted a little on FB and Twitter, but that’s mostly been retweets and shares, though there has been a little original content.

There’s a couple of reasons for that.

The first, as I’ve been saying for, well, most of this year, is the EDJ. It’s been hell. Long hours, extra days. Stress on top of stress. We’re behind, we can’t get more people (gotta love the bosses at the top looking at budget more than what is actually needed. Don’t get me started. They’ve decided we’re already over staffed). So it’s a hot mess of epic proportions. And sadly this makes me completely meh about doing anything other than full out relaxing when I finally do get home. I don’t want to do ANYTHING.

Which leads me to the second thing and that’s that I haven’t written a whole heck of a lot. In fact, I’m way under par for how many words I normally write. Not only is there that whole “I don’t wanna” going on, but I’ve had a terrible time actually getting ideas to gel.

It’s hard. On me and for me. I WANT to write. But there’s just…nothing left. No steam. I am steamless.

I intend to update the site this weekend (but of course I expected to do that last weekend so I need to give myself a swift kick). There’s stories coming out soon! I want you to be able to find them should you chose to. Christmas and snowed in and a hot little flash. I have covers and everything, though some have made the rounds.

I will do better. This is my promise to you! So look for info and updates in the coming days!
