I Love a Hot Firemen

Like many of you, I love a hot fireman, especially one with a gentle heart under his rugged exterior.  With that in mind, I wrote Fireman’s Cary.  We all know that firemen carry people out of burning buildings, but sometimes it’s the fireman who needs to be carried, even if it’s only in spirit.  Fireman’s Carry is releasing April 18 and is self-published.       Orphaned as a child, Jordan Kramer is a 28-year-old loner who lives for his work as a firefighter. It’s who he is. But his life changes when, on his way home from a fire, … Continued

Everyone Has a Superpower

I really believe that everyone has some sort of superpower.  The thing is that sometimes it just takes us a while to find it and some of us are still looking.  While for some of us, our superpower is right under our noses the entire time.  I also believe that a lot of the time, we don’t recognize our own superpower, but others do.  Among other things, The Doctor’s Desire is about one man’s journey to his superpower.  I really hope you enjoy.     General practitioner Dustin Avarilla has been on the job for a few years—long enough to … Continued

Second Chance Later in Life

My husband and I have been married for over 25 years and I can say with certainty that no relationship is perfect or stays the same.  Time, familiarity, age, complacency sometimes distance, work, all take their toll on a relationship, wearing it down like the sea pounding a rock.  It can’t help but be affected.    I know this firsthand because Dominic and my relationship has changed as well.  But after so many years, its easy to fall into a rut and to take the other for granted. That is why I wrote Second Go Round.  I wanted to show … Continued

Hard Road Back Coming May 5

Hard Road back releases May 5 and its quite a ride.  This was one of those stories that just stuck with me.  I wrote parts of it while I was on vacation last summer.  It was pretty amazing.  I was on vacation in both body and spirit.  I’m always amazed at hw a story can transport me to another place.  What’s really fun is when the one I’m working on does that for me.  This one was very much like that.  I got to ride horses, have th wind ruffle my hair, go on adventures, and then come home, all … Continued

Pulling Strings – Coming September 10

Pulling Strings will release on September 10. This is a great story with plenty of heat, some action, drama, and a whole lot of heart. I really hope this story touches your heart and gets it pumping big time. It did mine! A high-stakes case of industrial espionage ties them together, but before they can pursue their attraction, they must find out who’s pulling the strings. Devon Donaldson doesn’t know how a folio of stolen corporate secrets found its way into his bag, and certainly can’t think of anyone who’d want to frame him. The trouble is, he has to … Continued

You Can Teach and Old Dog New Tricks

I can’t try to tell you the number of times that I have gotten requests for stories with older, more mature characters.  Many romances contain stories of young guys trying to find their way in the world.  That is a very valid subject because  learning who you are and accepting that you’re different is part of being gay.  But sometimes its nice to break form that and take a journey with someone that life has put through its wash machine and is just trying to figure a way forward.   In this case we have a successful man who desperately … Continued

I thought I would give you all a little sneak peek into my work in progress.  I’m currently working on Fire and Agate, the third story in the Carlisle Deputies series.  The second, Fire and Granite will release in July. This is the very opening of the book.  I’d love to know what you think.     Chapter 1 “Chris,” Briggs said as he stalked into the locker room like a man on a mission. His gaze was hard and his posture as rigid as a two by four. Anger and discontent rolled off him in waves the way they … Continued
