Join me for more conversation on Facebook

About a month ago, I started a Facebook reader group, for folks who wanted a bit more interaction, some flash fiction and excerpts, and occasional book giveaways. Today I posted an excerpt from the beginning of the new Hidden Wolves story I'm writing (Book 5.) If you happen to be on Facebook, and that sounds interesting, you can find us at Kaje's Conversation Corner.

Writing M/M/M relationships

When Changes Going On released, I had a guest spot on Joyfully Jay, but the weight of my awesome words (joke) crashed the site a few hours later. (Or maybe it was the ghost of Sheriff Kensington, the first murder victim.) Now Joyfully Jay is back up and running with all the great reviews and posts revived - and my post is now up up about writing M/M/M polyamory in "Changes Going On."

Read the post: https://joyfullyjay.com/2020/04/guest...

The paper book for this title is also now available on Amazon, for those who like to hold real books. https://www.amazon.com/Changes-Going-...

And the first book - Changes Coming Down - is now .99 on all vendors.

Changes Going On Released

"Changes Going On" - the sequel to Changes Coming Down - releases today. The books should be read in order, and I made book 1 Changes Coming Down just .99 at both Amazon and Smashwords, so you can meet Casey, Scott, and Will, as they begin to come out of the closet as a poly trio, while facing a murder mystery.

In Changes Going On - book 2 - these three men deal with a summer of media, mentorship, and murder, on their way to their HEA.

**minor spoilers for book 1 **

There's a reason Scott Edison came out as gay and poly on national TV— now no one can try to push him back into the closet. But as his men and his hockey team deal with the fallout from fans and paparazzi, moving forward isn't as easy as he'd hoped.

Will Rice was looking forward to a quiet summer, sharing the work with his guys and giving Scott a refuge from the spotlight. He's hired a couple of young ranch hands, and finally feels ready to give back some of the mentoring that turned his life around decades ago. But good fences won't be enough to keep trouble off the ranch.

Casey Barlow left the Sheriff's Department on his own terms, out and proud. But when the new sheriff is murdered— and Casey's one of the few with a watertight alibi— he's asked to investigate, and he can't resist. He's determined to solve the murder, and still take care of his men on the home front. Then one murder becomes two…

It's a summer of risks and challenges, and working together is the only way they'll make it through.

Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Changes-Going-...

It doesn't seem to be up on other affiliates yet, but I will add links when they appear.

I hope readers enjoy watching these three very different men figure out their lives, deal with a mystery, and find love together.

Free and sale books

Books can be a comfort, and a refuge, in difficult times. Smashwords is having a big sale, from today through April 20th. Many books are free, or 30 or 60% off. Mobi is one of the often-available formats, and my books are in .mobi, pdf, and epub. Check out all the sale books. (my own SW link below)

I have 4 books I've made **free** there through the sale - "Sole Support", "Second Act", "Gift of the Goddess" (note a content warning for non-con) and "Love and Lint Rollers." (In addition to all my permanently free books)

I've also made "The Rebuilding Year" 60% off at SW only.

I've also marked three books down to .99 although you won't see the "sale" tags on them (because the price options didn't include .99) - just the new low price.

"Changes Coming Down" (Changes book 1), "The Family We Make" (Finding Family book 2, where book 1 is a perma-free novella) and "Tracefinder : Contact" (Tracefinder book 1) are all .99 for a month.

Smashwords page: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/vi...

I've marked those ones to .99 on Amazon too, and it looks like some of those price changes are going through now.

I want to wish all my readers safety, a steady heart, and hope, through the days and months to come.

Comfort reads for hard times

I'm blogging on Love Bytes today about comfort reads for hard times. I'd love to hear yours, here or on the post. <3 A huge thank you to the authors who write the books that sustain my soul on the tough days.

A reading excerpt from Tracefinder: Contact

Author Angel Martinez very kindly gave my story a slot today in her Friday Reading Days, where she reads a small excerpt from the first book in my Tracefinder series. She does a great job with these readings - check it out (and her other Friday reads too.)

Two books in this series are out now, and the third is in editing for a spring release. Tracefinder : Contact has a tentative HFN ending, with a more solid HFN for book 2, and HEA coming in book 3.

And if you like spec fic (fantasy and SciFi) with heart and humor, check out Angel's books while you are at it. I particularly enjoy "Gravitational Attraction" and her "Offbeat Crimes" urban fantasy series.

Burnout

I blogged on Love Bytes Reviews about the issue of burnout among genre authors in recent months and years.
