I'm a single mom to a great adult daughter, and I have a full-time job as well. I started reading m/m romancein 2008, then went to reviewing and then writing.

Some dares and prompting of friends led me to the role of author and they've always been my biggest cheerleaders.

Flash Fiction Holiday Blog Hop – Strange Bedfellows

Welcome to the Flash Fiction Holiday Blog Hop that was organized by Thorny Sterling. There are over 40 people writing short holiday stories based on the picture below. The only parameters were 1) LGBT 2) holiday theme 3) a “bad boy” 4) a gift of some kind 5) less than 3000 words. So here is my contribution and I can’t wait to see how everyone interpreted the picture. It will be fun to see in which

I think this author (at least this series) and I are not meshing. I've tried three and I think that's it for me. I didn't understand how the sister came into it (where was she when he was abused?) Was she older? And for a guy who had a secret mafia i ...more

I really enjoyed this one because there was a lot of humour and you get to meet Brad, Jason's best friend who is in another book. I liked that Cas was just such a kind open person and a true golden retriever. He was nice to everyone and a bit oblivio ...more

This was cute. Was it more or less insta-love? Sure. But so many cute animals. Are there small Texas towns that open? Maybe? I'd like to think so. Basically Jasper is a bit of a screw-up whose dad never lets him forget it given his 3 older outstandin ...more

I found Dixon's instant hatred hard to understand and was kind of annoying, on the other hand he does finally figure out why. Being rejected by his family screwed him over and messed with his head. I mean he was always grumpy but not quite so bad. I ...more

I enjoyed this one as well. I liked Fleis and his dichotomy between shy and awkward and very forward and sexual. Lots of coincidences here but it was fun although it's MUCH heavier on the sex side some of the others. The first live scene between Feli ...more

Quotes by Tam Ames (?)

“That had been David’s motto apparently. He’d never even suggested Jeremy try S&M or B&D or LMNOP. Whatever the hell it was called. Good thing, he supposed, since while he was all about “whatever floats your boat,” he was certainly vanilla in the sex department; maybe butterscotch ripple, but definitely not rocky road”
― Tam Ames, Summer School
