A Kind Of Truth is Available for Pre-Order Now at DSP!

Looks like it's more than time to dust off my GR blog and do a little updating! Yikes! I have a new release coming out on January 8, 2016 called A Kind of Truth. This is Rand's story. If you've read Better Than Safe, you'll recognize him as Seth's best friend and lead singer of Spiral. Yes... this is a rock and roll story with a good dose of opposites attract. A Kind of Truth is book one in a new series featuring a new group of guys in a new location... NYC, one of my absolute favorite cities!

*A Kind of Truth is available for pre-order at Dreamspinner and all titles are currently 25% off! Nice!

Here's a peek a the blurb:

Rand O’Malley dreams of superstardom. He hopes to one day sing the blues like a rock god. Moving to New York City and hiring a new manager are steps to make his dreams a reality. But nothing moves as fast as Rand would like, and everyone has opinions, for example that he should keep certain pieces of himself quiet if he plans on making it in the Big Apple. Like his bisexuality.

Will Sanders is a gifted musician who dazzles Rand with his ability to coax gorgeous notes from an electric guitar one moment and play the piano like a professional the next. He’s a geek, but Rand isn’t concerned about Will’s pressed exterior clashing with his tattoos. His focus is music. Yet there’s something about Will that makes Rand think there’s much more to the quiet college student than he lets on. As Rand’s dreams begin to materialize, he’s forced to reconsider his priorities and find his own kind of truth. One that might include Will.

Better Than Safe is Available for Pre-order at Dreamspinner Press!

This news is a teensy bit old, but it is good nonetheless! Better Than Safe is available for pre-order at Dreamspinner Press. The official release date is September 25. Mark your calendars! Also, for fans of Better Than Good... check back in on my blog for a brand new short story featuring Matt & Aaron from BTG. It will most likely be posted at the end of this week or beginning of next. Hope you're all enjoying the last bit of summer! Me? I'm ready for kids to go back to school. :-)

Here's the blurb from Better Than Safe:

Paul Fallon is a fashion advertising guru. He’s a genius at dealing with difficult editors, art directors, and designers alike. He thrives on the chaotic atmosphere and constant challenges. But in his personal life, he’s hoping for peace and stability. Settling down with a nice doctor or lawyer sounds perfect. Anyone but an artist. He’s been there, done that, and he doesn’t want to relive the heartache.

Seth Landau is a model, occasional guitarist, and aspiring painter. He’s quirky, flighty, and wise beyond his years. Life has taught him some tough lessons, then given him opportunities he never dreamed of. He’s learned to appreciate the fragility of life and to express it in his work. Seth’s flare for the absurd combined with a supple mind and a beautiful body are too alluring for Paul to ignore. Against his best intentions, Paul is drawn to the younger man whose particular brand of crazy challenges Paul to accept that things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes taking a chance is better than being safe.

Happy Reading!

I've been asked if there will be another book in the Right & Wrong Stories series. The answer is yes. Not immediately, but it will happen. What's next? Book 4 in Better Than Stories will be out in late September!! Woohoo! There will be a short story and perhaps another longer one associated with the next Better Than book. And then... a new series. Thank you all for your support! I'm happy to know you've enjoyed the boys from WeHo! :-)

My "Love is An Open Road" Short Story is Live Today in the GR MM Romance Group!

This is my first time participating in Don't Read in the Closet. My prompt was "Water Polo" and the end result is a short story called "Out in the Open Water". It's a sport I spend a lot of time watching because my kids play. It's a fast paced game where most of the rougher play happens underwater. Hmmm... I see potential here!

If you're a MM Romance member, check it out. If not, consider becoming one. There are some great stories there!

Oh... there are now 5 days left to release day! The Right Time will be out on June 26!

Happy Father's Day... Happy Reading!
