More short fic + upcoming sale and December giveaways

I haven't updated here in a while so I'll just mention the coming bookportunities and then do a quick round up.

My publisher, JMS Books, will be having a Black Friday Sale 60% at the end of November.

Then in December JMS has our yearly Advent Calendar where a different new release is free each day (only for one day, so check daily). I contributed a contemporary arranged marriage romance titled Honeymoon Hate.

I try (er, not very hard tho) to alternate between contemporary romance and paranormal. I have a new release, Secrets of Love and Time, that is a supernatural mystery set in Victorian London. The main character, detective Leander Maine, thinks his assistant has been keeping secrets from him. As he tries to uncover them, he also realizes he's been hiding from his own feelings for his friend.

My previous historical paranormal, Three Wishes and a Miracle set in a medieval monastery, will be included in next year's TOP 10 Gay Romance along with stories from Alexandra Caluen, Ellie Thomas, K.L. Noone and more. If you haven't read the stories these anthologies are a good way to get them cheaply and maybe find new authors.

I have a horror-romance story in the anthology Tasteful, which is a fundraiser for foodbanks. I'll drop a link when that's available.

Lastly, not romance but a short and hopeful science fiction story available free at Astral Magazine. This is set in the same world as my story in Fix the World but doesn't have the same characters (I wrote it because people wanted to know more about the aliens).

Hope you're all hanging in there, friends.

September, suddenly busy!

I have a fantasy novella releasing this weekend!
Princes, entering an arranged marriage to end a war—or at least that was the plan before they were ambushed and left on their own in the forest. Can they work together, even though one of them may be the traitor?

Preorder Princes at War from the publisher at a temporary low prince of $3.37.

Also from the publisher only, I'll have a couple books free from Sept 28 to Oct 5.
My sapphic Gothic In the Dark Heart of Winter and contemporary mm romance Didn't Know We Needed. Just cuz I felt like it.

I also have a 17k story in a MM paranormal anthology called Love is Magic which is a fundraiser for SantaCan, a charity that buys holiday gifts for children in foster care. The stories are holiday-gift themed.

...And speaking of Christmas, I'll again have a free short book included in JMS Books annual Advent Calendar, which is a different freebie each day. This year mine is a best-friends-to-boyfriends with ace rep.
