Willow Road by Holly day and JMS Advent Calendar

Today, my dear friend and all around fabulous human being, Holly Day is back on the blog. She’s here to talk both about her newest release and also a little about the JMS Advent Calendar. Please help me make her feel welcome!

Hello, everyone! Thank you, Nell, for allowing me to steal a spot on your blog again

A few days ago, Willow Road was released. It’s a story I wrote for Crossword Puzzle Day, which is today. Crossword puzzles don’t play a huge part in the story, but everyone know...

A.L. Lester Visits: Christmas, Cheap Books, and a Giveaway

Happy Christmas from Webber’s Farm!

Hello everyone! Thanks so much to Nell for inviting me to come along and share my Advent greetings this month. I have the fire lit, candles burning and seasonal music playing; so settle in here with me to hear a bit about my novella Inheritance of Shadows and Christmas at Webber’s Farm. (It’s 99c in ebook and $1.99 in audio; plus I have a giveaway for you!)

Inheritance of Shadows is not a seasonal story per se, as it begins in the summer of 1919 when ...

Sunday Book Recommendation: the Christmas Edition

Last Sunday I was in a severe I want to read a really great Christmas story mood, and I actually managed to stumble over not one, not two, but three new awesome five-star Christmas books. Really. How often does that happen, that you buy three books in a row that are all excellent? Not very often, I’d say.

So I thought that I’d tell you about them, in case you, too, happen to be in that kind of mood. They all have one thing in common: the characters are mature (over 40, or at least close). I ...

The 12 Tropes of Christmas

You haven’t forgotten about the 12 Tropes of Christmas in the Small But Mighty M/M Romance group on Facebook, I hope? Have you been there, have you won any of the giveaways? Is there any particular trope extra close to your heart that you’re eagerly awaiting? I’m eyeing bi-awakening day (the seventeenth) and brother’s BF/BF’s brother (the eighteenth). My dream story would be a combination of the two; gimme a brother’s BF bi awakening story and I’ll be a very happy camper.

But, we’ll have...

Release Day: After Marcus

Today is the release day of my story After Marcus. It’s written for the JMS Books’ naughty-or-nice submission call and you’ll be completely unsurprised when I tell you I opted for “nice” amirite?

It’s a very emotional story about having the courage to open up yourself for love again after the love of your life passed away, about noticing what’s right in front of you. It’s Christmas light, as in Christmas is mentioned here and there, but I’d call it wintery and not Christmassy, if that makes ...
