Guest Post | Secrets on a Train by Nell Iris

Nell is back, yay! Welcome, Nell

Hello again, it’s me. Nell. I’m back here at the lovely Ofelia’s place to talk to you about my latest release, Secrets on a Train. It’s a short, sugary (as in literal sugar, not overly sweet) story about two strangers meeting on a train, flirting and sharing secrets. But before I dive into that, let me just blow a cyber-kiss Ofelia’s way to thank her for being so generous and inviting me over.

When a story is ready for submission, we authors have to fill out a...

Guest Post | Spells and Sensibility by K.L. Noone and K.S. Murphy

K.L. Noone is back! Yay. Welcome

Hello again—K.L. Noone popping in to chat about a new release, co-authored with the marvelous K.S. Murphy! And thank you to the awesome Ofelia for letting me drop in! It’s always a pleasure.

Spells and Sensibility is the first of our Regency magicians trilogy—m/m historical fantasy romance, in which a former spy needs the help of the new head librarian at the Royal College of Wizardry to lift a curse, and there are complicated puzzles and mysteries to solve, a...

Giveaway | February

It’s giveaway time! Last year I did book birthdays, and then last month, we didn’t have a giveaway because I didn’t know what to do. I thought about doing giveaways with books in alphabetical order or according to season or whatever, but nothing felt right.

Then I thought, why not do something with Holly. I have this split personality that I more often than not just mash together as one – I don’t have the brain capacity to pretend to be two different persons LOL.

Since Holly had one release a...

Now on Kindle Unlimited

Looking for some weekend reading?? KU? Yay? Nay? Since I’m in Sweden I can’t get Kindle Unlimited, I can’t even see which books are in KU unless I go incognito, but I figured some of you might be on there.

My lovely publisher has fixed it so I now have 16 books that you can read through KU. They’re available wide too, so all of us not on KU can enjoy them too should we want to. I’ll list them below, and you can check them out.

Paranormal Gay Romance

Wrap-Up Wednesday | January

The first wrap up of the year and I have no idea what I’ve read LOL. Normally, I make notes so I’ll remember, but I haven’t. I’ve reread books. I’m not sure I’ve read anything new at all. I found a folder with old ebooks on a portable hard drive and I had a couple of ‘oh, I have to read this one’ and a few ‘hmm, I don’t remember that one’ moments.

There is comfort in reading stories you already know – though I never used to think so.

Okay, here we go, I might miss some, but…

#WhatToReadWednesday | Gay Romance Books with Magic Users

It’s Brew a Potion Day today, so I figured we’d do a little list of magic user books, just a few. I feel like I’ve already talked about all of them, but a little reminder never hurts, does it?

I need to write more witches and magic users. They’re fun.

A Charm of Magpies

I just reread these and talked about them in last month’s wrap-up post, but Stephen is an awesome witch, and who doesn’t want to swoon over Lord Crane.

A lord in danger. A magician in turmoil. A snowball in hell.

Exiled to ...

Guest Post | One Would Be Enough by Holly Day

Hello, everyone. Today, I’m here as Holly   

Yesterday, One Would Be Enough was released, and it’s a story I wrote for Make Your Dream Come True Day. It’s about Teo who is a plain, ordinary human – or maybe not ordinary, but he isn’t a supernatural being.   

Teo has made his dreams come true, he’s achieved what he set out to do, and now he plans to live his life as he sees fit. There is only one problem – werewolves.   

Jerico is a werewolf. He left his pack sixteen years ago when his father de...

Friday at Ofelia’s | The Thrill of the Chase by Ellie Thomas

Today, we have the lovely Ellie Thomas on a visit. She’s gonna tell us a little about her story, The Thrill of the Chase. Welcome, Ellie!

Thank you so much Ofelia for having me as your guest today! I’m Ellie Thomas, and I write Historical Gay Romance. In this blog, I’m chatting about The Thrill of the Chase, my January release for JMS Books.

Perhaps because I write of times gone by, I tend to base my stories in familiar places. This helps me get my facts (and street names) correct! As I we...

Update | Goals and Self-Doubt

A goal should scare you a little, and excite you a lot.

– Joe Vitale

Update time! Normally, I do a goals and a recap of the year post, so I thought I would now too. The problem is that I didn’t have much of a goal written down for last year. My goal was to write 250.000 words.

I wrote 289.333 so yay me! But in retrospect, the words don’t matter as much as me starting a new name, Holly Day, and that Holly had 12 releases.

What annoys me is that now that I went back to look at what I had writt...

Wrap-Up Wednesday | December

The last Wrap-Up Wednesday of the year! It’s been a busy month, and I’ve tried to escape by reading books – old books. Books I’ve already read because my poor brain can’t take in anything new right now LOL

December should be the month when you read a lot of holiday stories. I haven’t. I’ve read one which you’ll see below. Other than that I’ve read a few M/F stories. I re-read the first two books in Patricia Briggs’ Alpha & Omega series, but while I like Charles, that series fails to grab me. And...
