I have an INTERVIEW & GIVEAWAY up on Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words for the "Desperately Seeking Santa" blog tour. Pop over to enter!
It's release day for "Desperately Seeking Santa", my Christmas story for 2017. This year's story grew longer than I intended. It's a short novel at 52K words. I loved writing about Mack, a 6'10", 285 college wrestler. He a shy and guarded man. The protagonist of the story, Gabe, is a journalism student who falls for Mack after seeing him wrestle, never suspecting Mack might be gay or that a friend might set them up on a date.
Meanwhile, Gabe is trying to summon up his spirit of Christmas to write an article about an Elks charity dinner for a local children's home, and to uncover the truth about their mystery Santa.
The story features Jordan and Owen from "Superhero" as side characters but can be read as a stand-alone.
You can read more about "Desperately Seeking Santa", including the first chapter, here.
Here's the link to Amazon. The book is on KU and the purchase price is $3.99.

It's release day for "Five Dares", my college-age, contemporary m/m romance about a couple of lifelong friends and daredevils that discover something more when they spend the summer recooping from injuries.
This book is published with Riptide, and theyr'e doing a big ol' blog tour. Today's guest post from me is on Diverse Reader and it's about five more dares I thought up for Jake and Andy that didn't make it into the book. There's also a giveaway.
Today is the cover reveal for "Tender Mercies". It's the second book in the Men of Lancaster County series (the first was "A Second Harvest"). This is a stand-alone book with a new couple, though it is set in the same area and features a cameo of David and Christie from book #1. :-) "Tender Mercies" features a young Amish man kicked out of his community for being gay and a man from New York who moves to Lancaster County to start a farm sanctuary. You can see the cover and check out the blurb and an excerpt at Love Bytes (there's also a giveaway):

This is the last stop for the "How to Save a Life" blog tour. I'm on Sinfully MM Book Reviews with a guest post that talks about the "saving Mad Creek" aspect of the new book. CHECK IT OUT HERE.
As an author who has been all over the board with various publishers and self-pubs, it's very exciting to see one of my books reviewed in Publisher's Weekly, much less get a starred review. But "Five Dares" (Riptide Publishing, Oct 2), did just that. I'm extremely happy and grateful for this! Thanks to Riptide for helping this book get wider exposure.
