Dear Diary, I can’t fucking stand Vintage Jersey Guy. Look, I get it. I’m the most hated guy in the league or whatever. The big, bad enforcer who everyone loves to boo. But this is taking it too far. It was bad enough when Vintage Jersey Guy showed up at every game Boston played in New York. But now that he’s living here in Boston? It’s a fucking nightmare. And yeah, he’s a New York Rockets fan, and the Boston vs. New York rivalry has been going on forever. But who the fuck m

I hope you’re doing well! I’ll be honest, this was a rough week. I was glad to finish Cheap Shot but the current men’s US hockey situation has me feeling very angry. See yesterday’s post for more on that. I also attended an anti-ICE protest and began prepping for Sports Romance Con in a few weeks. I will be watching sled hockey in the upcoming Paralympics and I am really looking forward to that. I will begin planning the sixth and final book in the Scoring Chances series a

Thank you to everyone who’s sent supportive messages about me closing my shop last Friday to stand in solidarity with Minneapolis. I suspect it’s something I will need to do again in the future, and I will keep you updated about when that happens.   In the meantime, I’m still in Albuquerque.   My bestie and I went for a snowy hike in the Sandia Mountains and drove up to Santa Fe to go thrift/consignment store shopping with a friend of ours. We also went for a hike in the Jeme

I know many of you love illustrated covers and I’ve been working with my illustrator, Colleen, to create special editions of both the Rules of the Game and #Relationship Goals series.   It’s been a labor of love and took a lot longer than I had hoped (that’s on me, not Colleen!) but I am so thrilled with the way they turned out.   In addition to the gorgeous covers, the special editions will also have custom interior formatting.  I will be bringing copies of them to Sports

If you’re in the US, I hope you made it through the storm safely and I am sending big hugs to everyone who is trying to cope with what’s happening in Minnesota.  I’m still in Albuquerque and doing my best to find joy in the midst of the horrors.   We managed to miss the worst of the storm, but I did wake up on Sunday to two inches of snow. That’s pretty rare for this area so it made for a gorgeous walk around the neighborhood and then a beautiful hike in the foothills of the

Greetings from Albuquerque! I am having a great time hanging out with my friends. So far, I have gone on two hikes, to a museum, eaten some delicious food, written some words, and done some relaxing.   I am having a blast and it’s so good to spend some time with my favorite people. Looking forward to several more weeks of vacation in New Mexico!  Make sure you check out yesterday’s post because Beth Bolden stopped by to tell you about her latest release!  Want to know what e

This past week has been a whirlwind packing for my trip to Albuquerque. I always kinda forget how much work it is to pack for a trip where I’ll be gone for a MONTH. Thankfully, since I’m staying with friends that whole time, I can do laundry. But when I’ll be hiking, going to a goth ball, sightseeing, and working, I have to prepare for everything!   Wish me luck.   I use an airline miles credit card for pretty much everything, then pay it off every month, so I accumulate mil

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I first released Goaltender Interference ! Connor and Jesse were such a joy to write, and I really love this Boston team.    Although I didn’t plan it purposely, their book release landed in the same week as Kiss a Ginger Day.   Jesse enthusiastically kisses a ginger every day, so he’s a huge fan of the celebration.   I had originally planned to just write up a little post about it and tell you about how much I enjoy these two and

It’s been quite a week! I went to not one, but TWO hockey games on Saturday. I took my parents to a noon game in Detroit to cheer on the Pittsburgh Penguins when they beat Detroit, then met up with a friend who had free tickets to a 7pm University of Michigan game where they beat the USNTDP (national development program) team. If you want to see my adventures, check out my pics on Instagram . I am also preparing for my annual trip to Albuquerque to visit my bestie and her fam

I got so excited about the idea of Date in a Pinch coming to audio that I forgot that many of you started with my hockey books and aren’t familiar with what came before them! I created a fictional small town on the shores of Lake Michigan called Pendleton Bay. The town may look quaint and charming, but there's a naughty side underneath.   It's a place where ordinary guys find their kinky happily ever afters .   Neil, a sweet and inexperienced submissive, gets an unexpected n

Thank you! It has been a wild and wonderful week since I released Delayed Penalty .   I am blown away by how much you love Thad & Graham’s story. I’ll talk more about that below but first I want to talk about what I’ve been up to lately.   I managed to sneak in a little holiday cheer when I went to see a production of A Christmas Carol and took a day off to do holiday shopping with my parents. They’re both annual traditions and a lot of fun. It really makes me feel like the

We’re gonna keep this one short and sweet because I know you want to get your hands on Delayed Penalty ! Check out yesterday’s post to learn all of the details.  Want to know what else I’ve been working on?  Writing:   I am making great progress on Cheap Shot ! We hit a nice little turning point for the boys and although they’re a looong way from love, it’s coming together really well.   Audio:   James has finished recording Date in a Pinch . I am almost caught up on chapte

I am so excited to share Thad & Graham’s story with you. I have been wanting to tell it since I started planning the series and Gavin’s brother mysteriously appeared. Getting in Thad’s head was such an interesting experience and I hope you love how swoony he and Graham are together. Thad’s adult life was rough until he landed in Boston. Finding a safe place in the Harriers, reuniting with his brother, and being loved by Graham is exactly what he needed to heal.   The beauty o

Graham swallowed hard as he stared at the lens and hoped that on the other side of it, Thad couldn't see what he was feeling inside. Couldn't see how much he wanted him.

Here’s a little teaser from Delayed Penalty .    Graham tried googling and eventually fell down a rabbit hole of dating advice on Reddit. He’d found it helpful in the past. Why not try it for this?  He found one subreddit that seemed kinda promising and spent some time reading it.  None of the advice really applied to him, but it seemed sensible at least and he began typing up his own question.  So, like, I’m into this guy and we kissed once but we’ve never done anything else

When their eyes locked a frisson of hot-cold-hot ran across Graham's skin like a physical touch. Fuck. This was going to be a problem.

Things are humming along around here. I took a couple of days off writing to focus on some admin work that’s been lingering on my To Do list. It feels so good to get that all checked off. I also finished my heirloom pumpkin puzzle and started a woodland wildlife one. I really enjoyed watching the Global Series in Stockholm Sweden last weekend. The Pittsburgh Penguins played the Nashville Predators twice there and it was really fun to see the behind the scenes social media con

Dear Diary,  Graham Pennington is something else.   Don’t get me wrong, he’s hot. In the rich, frat boy kinda way that would have gotten him either laughed out of prison or made him very popular with certain guys.   I knew who he was of course. Top line winger. Golden boy.   The kind of franchise building player who Gavin’s always salivating over.   Squeaky-clean too. The dude’s probably never smoked weed or gotten so much as a speeding ticket.   He’s a decent guy though, I’

Graham couldn't seem to move, to breathe, to push Thad away. All he could do was stare at his face as the laughter faded from it and turned into something sharper. Hungrier ...
