A Little More 'Where the World Ends'

Heya!
Wow wow wow. So much going on these days. I'm so excited about all the feedback from Trouble & the Wallflower and the cover reveal for Wood, Screws, & Nails with Piper Vaughn. What I'm really dying for is to see how y'all like Where the World Ends which is dropping this TUESDAY!! (3/11) *dies*

So... Since i didn't get to do the whole seven sentence Sunday promo I usually try to do before a book's release (simply not enough time between the two releases) I decided y'all would get one more snippet from the book.

In this scene, Will and Colin have run into each other in a diner late on a Saturday night and get their first chance to have a one-on-one conversation.

Will shot him a dry look. “You ask a lot of personal questions.” And that one I’m definitely not answering.Colin held his hands up in apology, and that easy smile stretched across his face as he leaned back on his booth. “My bad. Just interested is all.”I wish.Will sighed. “I had some issues at my old PD in Sacramento.”“That where you’re from?”“Born and raised,” Will confirmed. “You grow up here?”“Oh, yeah. Couldn’t even manage to stay away after college. But tell me how a kid from Sacramento gets the whole surfer-boy accent.”Will had gotten that question many times throughout his life. “I really have no idea. My dad always says it’s because I’m too laid-back to talk like normal people.”Colin quirked an eyebrow. “He sounds like nice people.”Will imitated Colin’s smart-ass expression. “Your dad seems like a peach too, Sharp.” Colin laughed. He had a really nice laugh. Will wanted to melt at the warm timbre of the chuckling as it rolled over him in waves, threatening to pull Will out of the funk he’d been in for so long. And damn if that wasn’t a kick in the balls. He might finally have found someone who could make the sky a little bluer again, and it had to be this man who was so very off-limits for so many reasons.Colin stopped laughing and looked thoughtfully at Will but didn’t get to say anything before Jean came over with their checks and paid them out. Colin followed Will, surprisingly, and stopped beside Will as Will unlocked his patrol car.“Thanks for letting me sit with you, man. It was nice to see you outside all this craziness,” Colin said. Will had to admit he was more than a little sad they couldn’t be friends. The guy was easy to talk to, get along with.“Yeah, thanks for hanging out with me. I don’t know many people, still, and I’m sure you’ve noticed I won’t be making many friends with my job. Even the people in Aberdeen are weird about us.”“Oh yeah. Your sheriff hasn’t made many friends, but he’s stayed in office somehow since you can’t deny he’s good at keeping the crime rate down, which is not an easy feat when these bored citizens have nowhere to go and tons of hiding places to get in trouble in.”Will nodded. “I figured that out quick. It’s a shame, but I get it. It’s a bit too quiet out here sometimes.”Colin looked like he sympathized, then out of nowhere put a hand on Will’s shoulder. Will felt that touch even through his sweatshirt and had to contain his need to throw himself at Colin. A friendly touch, the touch of a man; he’d been without for so long. And this man. Colin. Fuck.“Will, I hate the way things are, but maybe they’ll die down. I know I can’t talk much because of tribe business, but just know, I’m not of like mind where they’re concerned. Many of us aren’t.”Will almost folded under that sympathetic gaze. No one had looked at him so fondly, nor so understanding in such a very, very long time. The last person had also been one of his very bad ideas, and Will still wasn’t recovered, so he needed to put space between himself and Colin. But he couldn’t stop staring at those lips. Again he was mesmerized, and Colin’s pink tongue darted out to lick them. Will looked up to see a need burning in Colin’s eyes that he’d have killed to see there under any other circumstance. He felt himself leaning in. Just one kiss, one touch of the lips, and he’d be good. Just a little comfort right now would make the world a much better place.Then he realized what he was doing. Will snatched himself back, and Colin’s expression shuttered, but not before a little hurt and some confusion flickered through his eyes. Shit.

Bam! Only a few days to go! Can't wait! <3

Yay!

Wow. What a week. Traveling nightmare, firemen at my mom's, beach trip planned, annnnd Trouble & the Wallflower released. And the latter is why I am here. Gavin and Davy are #1 on Amazon!!! You guys have been awesome going forth and buying like you have, and even better have been all the kind words about the book and recommending it to your friends. I sincerely thank everyone so much. So as a thankyou, since I've been all lacking on the info for Where the World Ends, available 3/11 from Loose Id, I thought you guys deserved some love in the form of an excerpt! <3 So I'm posting the first half of the first chapter. Hope y'all enjoy!

“Damn worthless piece of shit.” Will Cooper thumped the screen of his GPS device as it announced he was out of service range for the fifth time. He pounded his hand on the steering wheel and watched the unfamiliar scenery pass by him, looking for anything that might indicate just which way he’d gone wrong when he turned off of Ocean Beach Road onto Highway 109. So far he’d seen nothing but trees. He hadn’t even spotted a house in miles. He picked up his phone to see that he still had no service. His mother had warned him that he’d chosen to move to the one part of Washington State where cell phone service was nonexistent, but being a city mouse through and through, he’d dismissed that as foolishness. Boy, had she not been lying.He threw his cell phone onto the seat next to him and growled at his luck. He’d already had a long morning, and he’d known when dispatch told him to trek upward toward the Lake Quinault area to look into a car parked at the lodge that had been reported stolen he’d get lost because country roads were still not his forte, but he’d given it a shot—and failed miserably.After a few more miles, a few more slaps to his steering wheel, and several more attempts with the worthless GPS, a sign welcoming him to the Wichinow reservation followed an even larger one welcoming him to the home of the Chitwhins loomed in the distance. He mouthed Chitwhins to himself, making a mental note to Google the word when he had the opportunity. The steady line of evergreens gave way to a few small buildings, and then a very small town appeared from the forests. As he pondered stopping in for directions, the low-gas light on the dash of the squad car lit up. He drove a bit farther, thinking he might try to find a more inviting-looking town, but he found he’d come to where the highway ended—literally. The highway stopped and became a gravelly dirt road that led into the forest.After making a three-point turn on a boating road beside the bridge that was the final bit of civilized highway, he pulled his car onto the first street in the small town. The first thing noticeable was the impoverished state of the area. He was surprised to find that it was so far off from anything that there wasn’t even a chain grocery, only a small mercantile. He drove around for a minute, looking, praying for a gas station. Small groups of children were running around, chasing small packs of unleashed dogs, and adults were standing in small groups talking among themselves. They’d all stop and stare as he drove by, some openly pointing at his car and scowling. He’d heard there was some bad blood between his coworkers at the Gray’s Harbor County sheriff’s department and the local Wichinow tribe, but he’d yet to make the acquaintance of anyone other than those coworkers to prove or disprove a feud that seemed antiquated to a city kid from California.But he seemed to have traveled into a different dimension out in Taholah, the name of the town as he’d found out from a very small green sign on the side of the road. Calling it a town was certainly generous. There was a small fitness center housed in what looked like a garage, and a mobile home sat across the street with the words Diabetes Prevention Center painted on one wall. The houses were all unkempt, and the paint was chipping on all of them making the city seem ramshackle save for its beautiful oceanic backdrop. The very small town was dirty and sat on about four small “blocks,” but it was on prime fucking real estate, and the Pacific shone bright in the background, waves gently rolling, juxtaposing natural beauty with economic depression.Will was nervous that he might not find a gas station in this strangely remote town, but he couldn’t imagine that there wouldn’t be one there since it was, in fact, the only town for fifty miles. When he reached the small town’s edge, he turned the squad car around in the parking lot of a small building that looked like one of the telephone buildings that his grandfather had worked in before he’d retired from Siemen’s. A white banner hanged from the front of the tin-sided shack, flapping in the Pacific breeze, with large red letters saying DSL.Wonder if Bill Gates knows they hid the Internet in a tiny shack in Taholah, Washington. Will snorted. What better place than where both the highway and the world end, eh? He shook his head at his lame humor. He couldn’t even make himself laugh with jokes like that. Then he got a look at the faces of the residents who were maliciously watching his car drive by and imagined he wouldn’t make any of the locals giggle with his comedic prowess either.He finally found a gas and grocery on the farthest side of the town, just down from the small fitness center, and pulled in. He scowled at his phone, which still had no service, then got out of the car, straightening his gun belt and warily eyeing the six dogs that lazed in the shade beside the gas pumps. He’d never seen dogs running around so freely, but there were several trotting around the streets. The children had abandoned their dog chasing in favor of watching Will put his credit card into the gas pump and begin fueling. He had never felt so out of place. Even wearing a uniform in some of the most gang-infested streets of his hometown of Sacramento hadn’t made him feel so alien. He was uneasy at the prospect of going into the store for directions, but he’d have to if he didn’t plan on staying all night where he was obviously unwelcome.The gas pump clicked, and he pumped up to the nearest dollar, then replaced the hose. As he turned the key to lock the cap on the tank of the car, a bell chimed, signaling that  someone was exiting the gas station. Will looked up, expecting another distrusting face, instead finding a curious yet smiling man who was clean-cut compared to the other residents Will had seen walking the streets. Damn, but the man was attractive. Deep black eyes were set in a masculine face that didn’t appear much older than Will’s twenty-seven years. The man’s cinnamon skin was too light to discern whether he was of European Spanish descent or a member of the Wichinow, but he was definitely ethnic. Will loved the slight tilt to the man’s eyes, and the man’s smile was easy, every bit of his six feet screaming confident and sexy. He was a complete anomaly in this country.“You must have gotten lost.” It wasn’t a question, and God, were that sexy voice and deep laugh knee-buckling.Will snapped himself out of his daze, realizing he must be staring. “Uh, yeah. Think I turned wrong off Ocean Beach, and the damn GPS—”“Oh, no service out here, man.” The sexy guy laughed that easy laugh again, then held out his hand. “Name’s Colin Sharp. You must be the new guy, ’cause I don’t know you, and I’ve annoyed about every deputy at Gray’s Harbor at this point.”Will took the man’s outstretched hand and shook firmly. The man had such smooth hands that Will could only imagine how they’d feel on his body. Snap out of it, man.“Yeah,” Will said, trying to get his bearings. Unprofessional much? “Uh, nice to meet you, Colin Sharp. I’m Will Cooper. Been here about two months now. Still getting accustomed to the roads.”“I understand.” Colin’s eyes seemed to be looking behind Will, more than at him. Will followed the line of vision to where an obese woman and a short man were standing beside the small post office, gawping openly at Will. Colin cleared his throat, and when Will turned his attention back to the man, he looked a bit embarrassed. “Sorry, man. If no one has told you, the tribe doesn’t always have the best relationship with the sheriff’s department. The rez police tend to handle everything for these guys. Well, for us. I live here too.”Will took that to mean the man was probably just as unimpressed with his presence, just being polite, so he put on his all-business-deputy face. “Cool. Well, can you just tell me how I need to go to get back to cell phone service or Quinault Lodge?”Colin looked taken aback by Will’s suddenly businesslike demeanor, but Will couldn’t tell why. He cleared his throat again and pulled out his wallet and a pen. “Sure, sorry.” Colin hastily removed a business card, leaned against the side of the squad car, and started drawing a small map on the back. “You’ll get back on 109 and then take the left back onto Ocean Beach, and then after a few miles you’ll hit Kirkpatrick and go straight up to 101.” Colin would stop drawing the map with each direction to gesture with his hands. “The 101 will take you all the way up to Quinault Lodge. You can’t miss it.” Colin finished, handing Will the card with another easy smile. He sure didn’t seem unwelcoming, but Will could still sense some sort of unease in the man.“Appreciate it.” Will tipped his head in thanks.“Don’t mention it. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other around. I work for the school, and you guys have a habit of running into the kids I do outreach with. If they don’t run into you guys first.” Colin seemed exasperated at those words.“I can only imagine. Seems I’ve seen most coming from Aberdeen, though. Can’t recall any run-ins with Taholah until I passed the Chitwhins sign on the highway.”“Ah, yes. The mighty black bear.” Colin smirked fondly.“Thanks for clearing that up.” Will laughed. “I wondered.” Oh my God, are you really flirting? “Anyway. I’d best get a move on.”Colin, again, looked a bit surprised by Will’s sudden change in tone, though Will realized he was definitely being a spaz. He knew he would kick himself later, but now he had to get away from this sexy guy who he would apparently being having a professional relationship with in the future. That put him in the Very Bad Idea category. He’d gotten in enough trouble mixing business with pleasure in the past.Colin backed away from Will and pressed a button on his keyless entry, which made the lights on a late-model black Honda Accord blink. “Sure, well, call if you still need help, though if you have service on your phone, I’d imagine the GPS is back online.” Colin opened the car door and tossed final smile and wave Will’s way. “If you make it all the way to Forks, you’ve driven about an hour too far.”Will must really have had Directionally Challenged written all over his face. “Yeah, uh, thanks, Mr. Sharp.”“Anytime.” Colin’s lopsided grin was devastating as he crawled into the Accord, slammed the door, and took off. Will watched the car for a moment, then noticed a few more locals had gathered to get a good look at the white cop who had rolled into town. He hurriedly hopped into the squad car and gunned it back down 109.

Woohoo! Only another week and you guy get the whole thing! So stoked! Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart for all the love for Gavin and Davy! Here's to great things to come.

Happy Reading and Much Love,

SSS: The Climax

The final SSS. So... I'll do more like seven paragraph sunday this time haha. 6 days! Trouble & the Wallflower #FTW

Gavin flinched back, obviously affected. Carmen’s eyes flashed in victory, much the same as Gavin’s had at one time. Davy was stunned at the resemblance, but he knew that was where their similarities ended. He still had a sense there wasn’t much pretty lurking beyond the woman’s surface, whereas beyond his hard surface Gavin was all goodness.“Fuck this. I won’t hear it.” Gavin marched over to Davy and snatched him by the hand. Davy could see the desperate need to flee in his lover, and the pain in Gavin’s eyes made him want to pull Gavin close and make everything better, though he knew he couldn’t.“Come on, Davy. We’re fucking out of here.” Davy winced. Gavin obviously didn’t realize he was still yelling. Even if he did, Gavin was freaking out too much for Davy to think telling him to calm down would be wise. Davy went along as Gavin tugged him toward the door, throwing Ray an apologetic look. Before they’d made it out, though, Davy froze, pulling Gavin up short. Gavin tried to tug, but Davy stayed rooted to the spot looking at the door to the kitchen, and pulled back on Gavin’s hand.“What in the serious fuck?” Gavin turned on Davy. Davy put a hand on Gavin’s face and let him have a moment to breath. Gavin’s nostrils flared, gaze darting over Davy’s face, wild with the need to run.“Gavin, you gotta calm down.”“What the fuck for?”Davy did his best to not shrink under Gavin’s anger and panic. “Gav, you’re scaring him.” Davy nodded toward the young boy who’d come in from the kitchen, wide-eyed and apparently startled from all the yelling. Carmen noticed the boy at the same time Gavin did and moved toward him.“And who in the fuck is that?” Gavin’s voice was so small.“Language,” Carmen scolded. She folded the boy, who couldn’t have been more than three or four years old, up in her arms and lifted him onto her hip. Davy didn’t know how Gavin could ask such a silly question. The boy looked at them with another pair of those deep-brown eyes from under that similar noble brow as he hid in his mother’s shoulder.“Who in the fuckis that?” Gavin was working himself into a fit.

Summer Songz 2013

Random again... i spent the summer drunk, on the Seattle ferry and busses cuz .... well.. best summer ever:

1: Brandy - Put it Down

2. Demi Lovato - Heart Attack

3. One Direction - Rock Me

4. Miley Cyrus - We Cant Stop

Random Post Has Random Facts

Okay so I have the filter on my FaceBook that prevents anyone from just posting anything they wanna tag me in all willy-nilly. Well, I'm pretty fucktastically terrible at checking to make sure those posts don't get backed up because if it's important it seems like it makes its way on my timeline without fail, or maybe that's cuz I post a response? IDK, but the chances of me ever truly understanding half of FBs inner-workings are slim. ANYWHO. So since I also suck at posting often on my blog and I feel like I should leave it sitting over here on its lonesome, only to be taken advantage of when I'm shamelessly promoting a new book. So I've seriously been tagged OVER 50 TIMES to do this "15 Facts About..." thingy and dammit I can't help thinking that seems like an interesting post (assuming you reading this actually care about me). So... here we go

15 Facts About Kade Boehme
1. My nickname, Kaderade, actually came from my ex-boyfriend's brother but it STUCK.

2. I have 64 tattoos. No I won't post pics of them all.

3. My name really is Kade.

4. I once lived in Mississippi. It's true.

5. My parents didn't deal well with my coming out so I was homeless for a while. (my mom and I are talking again these days)

6. I call my oldest and closest friend Chrusty. She loves it. 

7. I don't like when people order the same thing as me off the menu. I will order something completely different if you say "I'll have what he's having."

8. I hate eating in front of other people. I usually take everything to go. 

9. I was a high school teacher for 3 years (my 2nd job was bartending at a gaybar).

10. I hate video/computer games. I don't have the attention span nor the strategic skills.  SN: World of Warcraft ruins lives.

11. My longest lasting roommate and our huge group of friends were drag queens and I used to spend a lot of time helping on the pageant circuit. No I never did drag, though there may be drunk photos of me in paint somewhere.

12. I love to dance in heels.

13. I'm a statistics/random facts/politics wonk. People are always like "how and why do you even know that, dude?"  I don't know. I honestly don't know.

14. So that it's not an awkward question if we ever meet in person, because everyone asks, yes the scars on my arms are from self-harming that I once did. They're not cute and they're easy to see but so your curiosity won't create an annoying or awkward moment, there's your answer.

15. My first stories (and i have about 30 unpublished/never gonna be published) were all done for an adult website. I wrote my first when I was 15, because when I first got internet it took 45 min to download a 2 min porn clip (oh yeah, Jeremy Jordan and Jason Hawke). That's not exactly easy to sneak around. I still have Windows 98 nightmares.

Well that was fun. It's hard coming up with stuff about myself like that haha. So hope it was at least mildly entertaining or at least something for you to kill 3 minutes of your life with. Sooooo.... of course now I shamelessly remind you that there's only ONE MORE seven sentence sunday, coming up this weekend, before the release of Trouble & the Wallflower. If you haven't pre-ordered it, you can do it here, though I suppose with only 9 days to go..... *dies* Stay tuned!

Trouble & the Wallflower Extra: Playlist

So I usually only remember one or two songs from a book I've written because I remember the ones I used to help me set the mood or that totally inspired a pivotal scene in the story. For Trouble & the Wallflower I remembered how much some people enjoy the playlists from the stories so I actually thought to write them all down the day I wrapped up the writing process. Each of these songs were important to a specific scene (except the first which kinda gave me the idea to where Gavin's character was headed. I owe Britney everything haha.) So for those who enjoy this type of thing... I give you the soundtrack to Trouble & the Wallflower:

Britney Spears - Trouble For Me

Robyn - Cry When You Get Older

Plumb - Arms Length

Robyn - Hang With Me

A Perfect Circle - Imagine

Lil Wayne - President Carter

Carmen Ejogo - Hooked on Your Love

Flyleaf - Red Sam (acoustic album version)

Robyn - Indestructible

Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive

Paul Van Dyk ft. Plumb - I Don't Deserve You 

After the book's release I'll connect the songs with their appropriate scene(s). Don't forget Trouble & the Wallflower releases at Dreamspinner Press (and all eBook retailers) on Feb 28. It's available for pre-order here . More T&tW extras and Seven Sentence Sundays coming your way soon as well as info on giveaways and blog stops. And for those waiting for more info on Where the World Ends (releasing at Loose Id March 11) stay tuned for cover reveal and blurbage in the coming week.

A little news & Seven Sentence Sunday: Full of Surprises

Heya guys! Back with another Seven Sentence Sunday from Trouble & the Wallflower, releasing 2/28 at Dreamspinner Press. (available for pre-order now in eBook and print). Super stoked. We're almost there! Can't wait for y'all to get your hands on this book! It's got a special place in my heart. :)

So let's get right to the SSS. This week I'm taking you to a rainy Seattle summer afternoon in which Gavin is working on some homework at Davy's workplace (an old school ice cream and soda shop in the Market at Pike's Place) while Davy does his closing duties. Suddenly a song comes on the radio.



 

After washing the shake tins, Davy came around the counter with the broom to sweep under the tables.“Hey!” Gavin yelled,excitedly, startling him. Davy turned wide-eyed to him.“What the hell?”“I love this song.” Gavin pointed at the speaker hanging in the corner. Davy so often tuned out the oldies station that he hadn’t noticed what was playing.“You like Aretha Franklin?” Davy looked at him incredulously. Usually in Gavin’s truck he played rap or indie rock bands that Davy had never heard of.Gavin grabbed the broom from Davy and threw it in a corner, then pulled Davy by the hand to the middle of the room. “What can I say? I’m full of surprises.”

  That's it for this week guys! More coming soon! And only 2 weeks to go! Yayyyy!

Trouble & The Wallflower: Seven Sentence Sunday #2

Hey all! Another 7 Sentence Sunday here to get y'all amped up for Trouble & the Wallflower, which is releasing in print and eBook on Feb. 28! *FLAILS* It's currently available for pre-order.

So in this snippet, Gavin and Davy are eating at Dick's, winding down after a night out with the guys. We're still pre-relationship. Gavin is trying to get to know our shy Davy but Davy's general lack of social skills has him a little embarrassed. After Davy gets bummed talking about the death of his mother, Gavin steers him back to talking about himself.

“So what do you do? Sit in your apartment by yourself?” That seemed so sad.
“I work a lot, as you well know”—that was pointedly accusatory—“and I do online classes. I don’t get much chance to meet people, but I’m sure you’ve noticed I’m not great with people anyways, so I don’t ever know what to do when I get the chance to try to be friends with someone.” Davy chewed on his tongue, obviously a nervous habit, then laughed derisively. “Like now. You guys were great. You only hit on me the one time. Sean and Mason did their best to help me fit in, and here I am being a freak and dumping my shit on you.”         “Davy, that’s what friends are for.” Friends don’t want to kiss it all better, though, Gavin.

 Hope y'all enjoyed that tid-bit. :)  Stay tuned for another snippet next week! Should have info on giveaways and blog stops soon. Also should be revealing the cover for Where the World Ends (releasing 3/11 at LooseId) soon!

Seven Sentence Sunday (Belated)

**Well, I'd intended to start the Seven Sentence Sunday promo stuff for Trouble & the Wallflower this week and had set this post up... but did I publish it on Sunday so it could actually be a Seven Sentence Sunday post? Nooooo. Not me, cuz i'm a total spaz. So....... I post it now with MORE than seven sentences. Hope y'all enjoy.**

So it's the first SSS post for Trouble & the Wallflower. I couldn't be more stoked for y'all to finally get to read Gavin & Davy's story. To get everyone as pumped for it as me I'll be posting snippets (typically the idea is seven sentences, hence the Seven Sentence Sunday thing, but I'm guessing y'all are smart enough to figure that bit out ;) ) each week. Soooo....

In this bit, Gavin's just left the club after...well...being Gavin, and when he meets his friends at their favorite after-hour pizza place, they've decided to let him know he TOTALLY fucked up with Davy, who he's been trying so hard to impress. It's one of my fav scenes of all the guys together (sans Davy, obvs, since it's pre-relationship at this point).


 

“You know that ‘piece’ you’ve been chasing, aka crushing on hardcore? The guy from Bart’s?” Gavin couldn’t help but smile at the mention of the blond jock he’d been playing cat and mouse with for months now. “Yeah. Soda Shop Davy?” All the guys snorted collectively and Mason shook his head sorrowfully. “Yes. The one and the same,” Sean said. “Why?” He wished they’d just spit it out already. He started thinking of blond  hair, blue eyes, and a firm jaw with a baby face and lickable pink lips. And don’t forget those biceps that were just right. Not too beefy but enough to show the guy did some working out. Sean frowned at Gavin, wiping the smile from his face. “You blew your chance officially.” “Would you guys spit it out?”

Hope y'all enjoyed! We've only just begun so stayyyy tuned! Trouble & the Wallflower releases 2/28 at Dreamspinner Press in eBook and print. It's currently available for pre-order. Have I mentioned how stoked I am for this one??

Coming Soon: Trouble & the Wallflower

Yay! Trouble & the Wallflower is now available for pre-order over at Dreamspinner Press. I'm so stoked for y'all to finally meet Gavin and Davy! Over the next few weeks I'll do some Seven Sentence Sundays to gear up for the release. Until then, here's the cover and official blurb.


 

Trouble & the Wallflower by Kade Boehme

Raised in near seclusion by an agoraphobic mother, Davy Cooper’s social skills are almost nonexistent. Now that his mother has died, he needs to make friends for the first time in his life. He catches Gavin Walker’s eye, but the sexy, confident, bad boy hipster intimidates shy Davy so much that he throws away Gavin’s number every time he offers it.

When Gavin defends Davy from a rude guy, Davy begins to warm to him. However, with his limited experience, he thinks he and Gavin are too different, and anything more than a casual acquaintance will end in complete disaster. 

 Pre-Order at Dreamspinner Press. Releasing Feb. 28

How I'm going to handle the anticipation for this I still don't know, but it's obviously a very exciting time. Also will have more information for you all on my upcoming novel Where the World Ends that'll be releasing via Loose Id come March 11. It's gonna be a busy spring! Stay tuned for more info on giveaways, blog hops and excerpts!
