I hope you love the illustration that Colleen did for Luke. We originally had a different pose picked out but just before she started working on it, it hit me that Luke needed to be fighting! I asked her if she could do that and she said she absolutely could. I LOVE the way it turned out and I think she really nailed Luke’s look and personality. The gloves on the ice are the perfect touch. We are taking pre-orders for the gorgeous special illustrated editions of Cheap Shot

As his teammates piled on to celebrate their win, Leif glanced over at Tanner who was staring at him with narrowed eyes. Allowing himself a moment of pettiness, Leif puckered up and blew him a kiss across the ice.

Stupid fucking Viking-named asshole, Tanner grumbled under his breath as he got into position for the faceoff. Stupid pretty-faced Viking-named asshole. Leif Rasmussen really shouldn't look like that. It was rude of him. Distracting.

Colleen did a beautiful job with the illustrations for Graham and I really am delighted with the way the Delayed Penalty cover turned out. I also had a blast creating the merch and couldn’t resist making a little backwards cap, movie popcorn, and eggplant sticker with quotes from the book! The hoodies turned out really cute too and are slightly different styles, because the players have one style and the people who work for the team have another. We’re taking pre-orders for D

"I mean it, Clayton. I'm not doing this again. I refuse," Leif said through gritted teeth, turning to leave. He didn't like the person he turned into around Tanner Clayton. "Coward!" Tanner called out after him. 'You know arguing like this gets you hot."

Thank you for all of your kind words about my migraines. I really appreciate it. This hasn’t been a particularly exciting week, although I did have a nice time on Father’s Day. My parents invited my second cousin (who is in college, doing research during the summer semester) to dinner and we ate out on the porch. For once, it was lovely weather and it was really nice to spend the time outside and actually enjoy it! I am writing this Wednesday but have plans to get my hair cut

I hope you enjoy the illustrations that Colleen did for Mickey & Rafe. I think she nailed their expressions perfectly. Rafe looks like a big ol himbo and Mickey looks focused (grumpy) on the ice. I hope you enjoy the gorgeous special edition paperback of Slew Foot. ​We are taking pre-orders for Slew Foot now and signed paperbacks will begin shipping August 25th. I also designed some fun merch for Mouse and Turtle. It’s a toss up between my favorite sticker but the Level 4 B

As much as I loved the illustrations Colleen O'Malley did for Connor and Jesse on the Goaltender Interference cover, I think Gavin’s illustration might be one of my favorites. He looks exactly like I pictured him. Every inch the stressed-out Boston Harriers general manager! I did not have Colleen do an illustration of Dakota so we could prioritize getting these paperbacks done. I am hopeful that once we wrap up the paperbacks, I can have her do illustrations for the other non

While I’d really love to be that super-organized author who always has my shit together, last summer’s migraines really set me back when it comes to bigger projects. This summer, the migraines are significantly better (but not completely gone) so I am trying to be careful not to overload myself. So although someday I hope to have illustrations and merch done before a book is finished that hasn’t been my reality lately. My more realistic goal was to get them out before the fin

I feel like I’ve kept you waiting foreverrr for the Cheap Shot cover and blurb. Between travel, events, and struggling to find the perfect Luke, it’s taken a while. Big thanks to Kim, who helped me realize that I’d found the right guy on Wander Aguilar’s website, even if the shot wasn’t perfect. I reached out and asked if they one that was cropped a little bit differently and sure enough, they did! I am so glad I asked and I couldn’t be happier with how the cover came togeth

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

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 ...
