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

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

I hope you enjoyed your holidays! Mine were good.   I went to a game night with friends on New Year’s Eve and then hung out with another friend I haven’t seen in a while on New Year’s Day. Nothing too crazy but it was a really fun and relaxing way to ring in the new year.   If you want to read about how I wrapped up 2025 and how I am planning to start 2026, read yesterday’s post here . Want to know what else I’ve been up to?  Writing:   Cheap Shot is coming together nicely!

It’s difficult to wrap up a year like this one.   It was a struggle most of the way through for me in so many ways. Losing my friend Helena at the end of last year, losing my aunt, losing a friend … I carried a lot of grief with me.    The state of the world in general and of the United States in particular caused an enormous amount of stress.   And yet, there were bright spots.    Running the shop in addition to my writing was challenging but fun overall. I had a few misstep

If you celebrated one of the many winter holidays, I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing time! If you’re looking to escape the madness of the season with a book, keep reading for some great promos!   I went to see the Saginaw Spirit hockey game with a friend last weekend. We had a BLAST. As the friend I went with described it, it was a “fast, sloppy, and dirty” game. She wasn’t wrong. At one point, there were three players in each penalty box …   They also did a teddy bear tos

The holidays are busy so be sure to check out the New in December  promo on BookFunnel to see all of the latest releases you might have missed.

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 hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, if you celebrated.   Mine was just my parents and I, but we did the full Thanksgiving spread. We also did our annual family doughnut party on Sunday with the extended family.    I got to see two of my cousins and their families and my parents are continuing the traditions my mom’s parents started, which is really fun. It was great to catch up and the kids (many of whom are in college/graduating now!) have fun helping my dad fry the doughnut

It’s been a bit of a wild week for me. Lots of things going sideways on me as I try to prepare for the holiday craziness ahead. I’m trying to take lots of deep breaths and just deal with everything as it comes but YIKES. I also have jury duty December 1-19 (which includes my birthday on the 18 th 😿). While I would normally be more than willing to participate, this is the WORST possible timing. I’m crossing my fingers I don’t get picked and if you can send a few good vibes,

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

Hope you’re having a good week. Mine has been a little chaotic (really feeling that Mercury in Retrograde energy right now …) but I’ve gotten a lot done.   I bought and assembled a comfy new desk chair because my previous one was getting so old. The cushion was losing its supportiveness and the latch that lets me lean back in it/lock it upright went on the fritz.  I figured it was time to get something more comfortable.    My humidifier and my garment steamer both died too. L

It’s been a whirlwind of a week.   My knee is feeling GREAT. The lingering stiffness when I kneel is gone and I’m back to my usual walking sprints on the treadmill.   Finishing the first draft of Delayed Penalty gave me a burst of energy and I checked off some tasks that have been lingering on my list, including shipping out something I’d promised to send to a friend … oh, a year and a half ago?   If you wondered why Kim has taken over shipping signed books … uh, this is it,

Happy Halloween!  I can’t believe October is almost over.   This week my focus has been almost entirely on wrapping up Delayed Penalty  and watching hockey.  There was a really wild Penguins vs. Flyers game the other night where I learned two new rules that I didn’t even know existed! That’s always fun.   Somehow, my Penguins are 2 nd  in the entire league, despite the fact that we have several ancient players (in hockey years) along with some baby prospects, and no one thoug

I am finally settling back into my routine, and it has been such a relief.   My knee is allllmost there and things like doing my morning interval walks on the treadmill and squatting/stretching are almost back to normal. I’m still taking it a little easy but it feels so good to not be limited in what I can do.   It’s been cool and rainy here too, which means I am very  happy. Hooray for real autumn weather! I’m back to wearing cozy sweaters, burning my apple-scented candles,

My parents are back from vacation which means that I am FINALLY back to my normal schedule. It’s a good thing too because I was about to have a fucking meltdown.   Last weekend, I attended Artoberfest in Ann Arbor. The city holds a HUGE art fair in the summer and while it’s amazing, I find it really overwhelming. Parking is a nightmare, there are over 1,000 artists there, and the weather is always beastly hot in mid-July. No thank you.  I think the A2 Artoberfest may be new-i
