LOYAL

Enforcer wolf. That's Riley. A gangster took him in when he was young, and he's been loyal ever since.

It's getting harder and harder for big, soft-hearted Riley to unquestioningly follow orders...but he doesn't want to be alone without a pack. Almost anything is better than that.

What would it take for a guy like Riley to switch sides and work for the cops instead? Maybe not very much at all.

The Magician of Dustville

Magic, danger, and love in the Old West 

A small yet powerful magician moves to Dustville. He's prickly about his height (or lack thereof) and extremely private about his past. 

Magician meets sheriff, also private about his past and quite firmly in the closet. It is, after all, the only safe place to be in the little almost-town of Dustville. 

Attraction blossoming between them promises pleasure, and possibly more. Can this become what they both truly want—a real relationship? 

And can they survive cruel villains, dark pasts, and a grave magical danger that will test them both to their limits…or beyond?

SAFE

Afraid of being outed, Neil Hunter, "Hunt," dreads meeting the new "human lie detector" at the precinct—a registered empath who can sense truth and falsehood. 

But Skyler Zane is more of a mess than any closeted cop could ever be, with an abusive ex and a history of mental issues. And instead of avoiding him, Hunt ends up taking him under his wing, looking out for him. 

And maybe falling for him, too. Everything is going well—including their unexpected feelings for each other—until Sky's skills come to the wrong attention. Now it's up to Hunt to find him—and figure out how to keep them both alive.

My goal this year has been to have a story published every month, and to get better as a writer.  IDK if I'm meeting the second goal (I live in hope), but I'm well on the way to meeting the first.

Thank you again.  :-D

Joey and the Fox (plus other news)

I must admit, as I was writing this story, I enjoyed myself a lot.  I love foxes, and it was fun to write this.  I also bought myself some Martha Stewart brand sheets with foxes on them.  I finished the first draft of the story on Christmas Day.  It was really nice.  When I was editing, I found this link, and it really helped me find the motivation to keep going: http://www.boredpanda.com/zao-fox-village-japan/  Foxes are cute, what can I say?  :D

Joey and the Fox

(shifters and partners book three)

Asshole cop. It's Joey's role, and one he's comfortable with. Joey tells gay jokes. He's crude, tough, and thick-skinned. But now he's got a chance to work with a fox shifter—and he doesn't want to lose that opportunity. 

Dylan is a mess: clingy and broken, cheerful but lost, seriously unpredictable…and very gay. But Joey desperately wants the partnership to succeed. He's not willing to lose the fox shifter for any reason, even when Dyl drives him crazy. 

Is there any way to make it work? And will the weird attraction he feels to the cute redhead ever go away?

One more piece of news, and a question for you:

News: "The Sea Calls My Name" will be published soon by Dreamspinner Press!  It's a selkie-themed story.  :-)

Question: If I had the chance to turn one of my stories into an audiobook with professional help, which one would you prefer it to be?  (No pressure to answer, I'm just curious!)

Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a great week!  :-)

Upcoming stories

The first two are written and available for pre-order.  I'll have a pre-order up for "Cold Hands" soon (and will edit in the link). [*edit* Link added!] Fireproof is still in the first draft stages!

There are several more upcoming stories that don't have finalized covers yet.  :-)  I'm hoping to have one story released each month this year.  We shall see if that works out.

Lots of things in store...I hope!!  :-)

On a personal level, I'm working on trying to keep from getting so overwhelmed by things and taking care of myself when I need to (emotionally, mentally, etc.).  I'm also working hard at edits!

pre-orders available!

Do they have any chance at a life together?

Yeah, Seth knows Joe is a little older--but he doesn't realize the foxy gentleman is thirty years older. Twenty-three vs. fifty-three is kind of a big deal. Is there any chance for things to work out between a laid-back surfer and an older guy with heart problems and an overly chivalrous nature?
