Little August Update

I’m not making a promise, but I expect I’ll be putting up a couple of episodes for Mage in Love tomorrow. :-)

I feel like this one has been a bit of a slow build. I really expected the story to go differently than it has, so if you’re surprised by how it’s gone so far, you can join me in that. :D

I also had plans for Taken with Tony last month that didn’t pan out. So I’m hoping/expecting to wrap things up with it this month instead.

The house is hot (the AC isn’t working well) and my writing is suffering in the humid air. Who wants to sit at the computer when it’s 83 degrees inside and at 65% humidity? NOT ME. This summer cannot end fast enough for me. I live in the mountains for god’s sake. You’d think it would be cooler. But it’s the damn humidity that’s killing me. Not the temperature. :o

Guess I’ll end this little update here. I believe I’ll have several more releases this year, if the weather, my damn house (falling down around me LOL), and my health holds out through the end of the year. Wish me luck! :D

“Claw,” the Newest After the Heat Story, Is Up!

I’ve put up another story in my ongoing collection of Wolves’ Heat stories (After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories)! You can read it now from me at Laterpress (see below if you want more details).

In “Claw,” I revisit Brendan and Trey from Brendan’s Fate. It felt so good to write for them again. :D

If you want it now, immediately, you can get access to it directly from me.

Also, available soon on Kindle Vella from Amazon.

(Here’s why you get early access if you buy direct from me)!

Just Released Episode 15 of Mage in Love

Episode 15 of Mage in Love is available now direct from me (and coming soon on Kindle Vella)!

Mage in Love is a serialized M/M space fantasy romance!

The episode/chapter is called “Make it work.”

Direct from me readers get it sooner, always, just because Amazon likes to hold stories in review for a while.

In Mage in Love, Jihu makes a bargain with crafty (but hot) Gaeru to escape death. One bad decision leads to another and, soon, Jihu has only himself to blame for the trouble that follows…

If you read it, feel free to comment here with your thoughts! :)

Kindle Vella rewards authors for engagement, so if you read the story on Kindle Vella and you want more, a thumbs up on the episode or a comment there will let me know. :)

Asking for the Next Book

Truly, truly, truly appreciate it when someone tells me they’re waiting on the next book (whichever one of my books that might be for you). You just have no idea how helpful that is to me when I’m tired and don’t feel like getting to the writing. :)

So to everyone who emails or comments about waiting for the next book or wanting it, and hoping I will get it done soon, I promise you it doesn’t pressure me the way you might think. It HELPS me write more, faster, and is super motivating. ;D

So feel free to comment or email about the books any time. I love it!!

Taken with Tony for August (Updated)

This year, I’m trying to update a bit more often so everyone knows where I am on the stories. :) I am not great with estimating the time it will take to finish things, but I’m feeling pretty good about my progress on Taken with Tony at the moment. This is the follow-up to Gay for Alex, and it is Tony’s story (no surprise there). :D

Updated the estimated release date to August July 2023. I’m pretty confident now that I will be releasing it soon. :)

A Trade Paperback for Of Relations and Ships Is Available!

The trade paperback for Of Relations and Ships is finally available! At the moment, you can only get it from Amazon but I have a Barnes & Noble edition coming soon (it’s here)!

I like how the cover turned out for it, although during printing there are always going to be variations in colors, since that’s just the nature of printing and ink!

But here’s the cover flat. :)

Trade paperback edition: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

There’s also a little line after the end of the book that teases the next book in the New Canton Republic series. ;)

Tease for next book in the New Canton Republic series. Here ends Of Relations and Ships. The story of the New Canton Republic continues in the upcoming Of Ships and Treasures, a tale of magic, love, and alien abduction!
