New Italian release: “Quello che non dici” (Da nemici ad amanti #2)
Buongiorno!
Want to read a cute gay romance, enemies to lovers, story – in Italian? Maybe even prominently featuring a Lamborghini? Well I’ve got something for you… Book #2 in the “Enemies To Lovers” series is now available in Italian:
“Quello che non dici” – translated by the lovely Barbara Cinelli.
Here’s the blurb:
A parte la sua preziosa Lamborghini, Karl Andrews non possiede niente. La fortuna non gira dalla sua parte, il denaro sta finendo e il suo sogno di diventare un cuoco professionista sembra sempre più irraggiungibile. Soprattutto quando i ristoranti non lo vogliono assumere nemmeno come cameriere. Ma non prenderà mai in considerazione di vendere l’unica cosa che possiede. Non importa quanto potrebbe guadagnarci. Non succederà mai.
Piuttosto… Piuttosto…
Piuttosto risponde a un annuncio per un lavoro come ragazza alla pari.
A parte la definizione in sé, il lavoro gli sembra buono. Dovrà cucinare un po’, pulire, niente che non possa gestire.
Davvero.
Fin quando non si reca al colloquio e scopre che l’uomo che dovrebbe assumerlo è lo stesso che ha bullizzato, deriso e terrorizzato da bambino. Ma Paul Hyte è ovviamente un uomo migliore di lui, gentile e clemente. E si fida di lui, visto che la parte principale del suo lavoro sarà prendersi cura di suo figlio.
Nonostante il perdono da parte di Paul, le cose tra loro sono incerte, ed entrambi devono riconciliarsi con il loro passato se vogliono lasciarselo alle spalle. Mentre i due uomini imparano a conoscersi, un’innegabile attrazione cresce tra loro. Ma riusciranno a forgiare il loro futuro su un passato così difficile e un presente così complicato?
You can grab it now on Amazon.it, as well as Book #1 (“Quello che non sai“)!

ReRelease: "True Luck"
Will luck be enough to win you what you want?
Happy ReRelease, “True Luck“! This is book #1 in the “True Love” series – a novella that is the perfect companion piece to “True Colors” (which will be released March 14th). “True Luck” was first released as part of the “Wish Come True” anthology under the title “Bottle Boys”, and then as a standalone (also called “Bottle Boys”) last year. If you already bought “Bottle Boys” and would like to give this new edition a read, just drop me a line :)
This ReRelease has been edited again by Heather at HJS Editing Services, and generally polished, and with the new title it now fits nicely in the “True Love” series! I hope you enjoy Ben and Sebastian’s story. And if you want more of Marco, then you’ll be happy to hear that he returns in “True Colors“.
“True Luck” is now available as ebook and paperback.

Sunday Musings #11 & 12 - beta-reading & doing The One Thing
Hey guys,
Playing a bit of catch up here - there's been two Musings since my last post:
Sunday Musings # 11 - Nothing better than a beta reader:
--> Where to find a beta reader
--> What to look for in a beta reader
--> How to best work with the feedback you get
Bonus: how to be a great beta reader for your fellow writers!
Sunday Musings #12 - writing system update:
I talk about applying the ideas of “The One Thing”, by Gary Keller, to writing:
--> how to define goals that help you achieve great things
--> how to create & prioritize actionable tasks (breaking down the big goals in manageable junks)
--> how to block time to get your One Thing done
Unlock the power of The One Thing - think small to live large!
Hope you'll find them both helpful :)
