Teo, Josiah and Tristan were interviewed!

Hey guys. I wanted to let you know the men were interviewed by The Novel Approach. It was tough for them to open up but I think they did a good job. I hope you enjoy it.

So...

This happened today :)



That's right! I wrote the end of Wes and Braden's story today! It's off to my first beta in the morning.


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Wes and Braden

Hello. I wanted to take a minute to update you on Wes and Braden's story. For those who don't know, the second Blackcreek book is titled, STAY. I've been working like crazy on it and I'm planning an April release date. I'll have an exact date for you soon. In the meantime, here's a little teaser of the boys. I have to say, I'm REALLY having fun with this book. I love writing both of them but Braden makes me laugh often, and little Jessie keeps them on their toes :)

Under the table, Braden locked his fingers through Wes’s, as they rested on his leg. He turned when he heard a familiar laugher and saw that a few of the guys from the firehouse came in and were seated at the bar.

“Am I allowed to be glad you came?” He said to Wes.

“When I’m drunk you’re pretty much allowed to do whatever you want.”

He had this sexy, sweet, loopy look in his eyes. His brown hair messier than it usually was. The urge to rub his cheek against Wes’s facial hair hit him. Jesus, he liked seeing Wes like this. Hated the fact that he rarely felt this free but Braden couldn’t stop staring at him either. He was all responsibility, seriousness, but right now he was just…Wes. He realized that he liked Wes a little more than he’d thought.

“Dance with me, Wesley.”

Hope you enjoyed the tease! More from Wes and Braden soon.

Thanks!

And when I say that, I'm talking about you guys. You're seriously wonderful. I thank you so much for the support. I'm honored to say that BROKEN PIECES is number one in gay fiction on Amazon. Thank you for taking a chance on such a different story. Josiah, Tristan, and Mateo's story touched my heart and I hope it does the same to you!

BROKEN PIECES review, guest post, and giveaway!

I visited Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews and gave a little insight into how I came up with the premise for BROKEN PIECES. It was a unique experience and I hope you enjoy reading about it. There's also a giveaway and a review that pretty much had me flying!


"I love it when I find a new author that makes my heart sing, where words morph into visions and emotions that can only come from excellent writing, where a story takes over a part of your soul and everything else becomes invisible, their life, hopes, dreams… their very existence becomes yours for those few hours and you feel blessed to spend that time with them…" Monique from Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews

Broken Pieces live! (which means I'm freaking out)

Broken Pieces is live on Amazon and should be live on the other sites soon.

I've said this before but I have to say it again. I think it's pretty normal to get nervous about a book release but I'm VERY nervous about this one because it's so different than COLLIDE was. It's a very different story and that's both exciting and scary. I love it and it makes me want to hide too. LOL.

But then, I'm extremely proud of this book. A lot of my heart went into writing it and the love story owns my heart. Josiah, Mateo and Tristan own my heart. I hope you guys will like them too!

I have some guest blog posts coming up where I chat about where the premise came from, and a mini-interview on the book. I'll share those as they go live.

Thanks!



Can three broken pieces make a whole?

Josiah Evans is the orphan who lost both his parents. He’s sweet, shy, and all heart. He wants nothing more than to be loved.

Mateo Sanchez is the son of a gang leader. He’s seen it all, and never hesitates to do what needs to be done, no matter what it is.

Tristan Croft is the wealthy attorney who clawed his way up from the bottom to rule his own world. He’ll never depend on anyone but himself again.

Three men who couldn’t be more different…and yet, as their lives intersect they find an uncommon balance that calms the storms inside each of them, and ignites fires hotter than they ever thought imaginable.

Told in three parts and spanning over ten years, BROKEN PIECES is a journey of healing for three fragmented souls, finding love in the unlikeliest of places—with each other.

BROKEN PIECES coming soon

It's almost time for BROKEN PIECES to release. This is where I start freaking out, nerves making it hard to focus on much besides the fact that I'm releasing a book soon! I'm doing a last proofread right now. I love this book. I really do. There's pretty much not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful for the dream that inspired Josiah, Mateo and Tristan's story but it's scary too. This book is VERY different than COLLIDE. It is. Different isn't bad, at least not in my opinion, but that doesn't mean it doesn't make me a little nervous too. LOL. It's a darker story, a grittier story. It spans over ten years. Like I said, different. But it's a love story too. It's about three men who let each other into their hearts, so in that respect, it's similar to COLLIDE. It's about love.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Time to get back to my proofreading. Looking forward to February 4th and I hope you guys are too.

Merry Christmas
