I'm delighted to finally have my most popular series - Life Lessons - coming back into print.

I decided, for this series that has been wide for a decade, I would take the chance to, for once, put it up on KU, to see if new readers might find it. (And if previous readers want to see the minor changes I made, they can read the new version without buying it.) It will go wide later. And also in audio with JF Harding, who did an awesome job. (Release date pending Audible's review process)

Book 1 - Life Lessons is now available (AZ link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09...)



Meet idealistic young teacher Tony who stumbles across a dying man. And homicide detective Mac, a closeted single father, who has no plans to ever come out. As they deal with murder and danger, in the private moments, these two begin building something special together.

And don't miss the FREE shorts 1.5 and 1.8 in And to All a Good Night + Getting It Right - on AZ -https://www.amazon.com/All-Good-Night...- this is also still available wide, but best read after book 1.

Part of the fun of rereleasing books is seeing new readers encountering my men for the first time. And this time, their wait for the next installment will be short. I had readers asking already how to get Life Lessons Book 2 - Breaking Cover - it's now available on AZ for preorder for a Dec 14 release date. (And to my very appreciated wide readers - this is the only series I'm going to bring back first in KU - it has been wide for a decade, and will be again, so this time I'm giving KU readers a first chance. It will go wide again later.)

Another part of the fun is NEW COVERS - Cate Ashwood created a big, dark, broody Mac for the next two volumes (Tony will be back on Book 4) and I'm delighted to show him off.





Home Work will return in January 2022. (And OMG that we're so close to 2022; where did the year go??)

I hope new readers will enjoy the series.

Back in 2011, MLR Press invited me to do a short story for their Advent calendar. Short and sweet hasn't been my usual style, but I wrote Where the Heart Is and had a lot of fun with my young veterinarian figuring out his life and what really matters. I'm delighted to have this warm holiday story back out, with a cover that matches. (Thanks to DC Williams for the help.)

Where the Heart Is

Trevor Carson’s life changed the day his father died. After working as a small-animal vet in the big city, Trevor’s now back in his remote hometown, trying to keep his dad’s practice afloat while he figures out his next step.

He expected he’d want to sell up and flee back to civilization as fast as possible, but the town is beginning to feel like where he belongs. Except every day he spends there is a day away from his partner Michael, back in the city. As Christmas approaches, with a much-anticipated visit from Mike, Trevor’s going to have to decide what “home” really means.

(This warm, established-couple holiday romance is a lightly-edited rerelease of the 2011 story. Content warning for veterinary-related pet loss. 14,000 words.)

Just .99 on all vendors.

I have the final cover for Beset by Demons - Necromancer Book 5 and it's in preorder on Amazon, with other preorders to come in the nex fre days. Release date is February 22nd.

They'll take a leap into the unknown to protect the world.

There's something seriously wrong with Earth's magic. A demon has appeared unsummoned out of thin air, familiars can't return Home, and as Grim points out, rats smell like summer in the middle of winter.

Grim and Pip can deal with rats; Silas can banish one wayward demon. But soon there are other demons, more each day, and Silas's old mansion is full of mysteries. He and Darien will need their familiars, their friends, plus a whole lot of luck, as they search beyond Earth for the dark forces that have changed their world. And to have any chance of getting safely home, Silas will have to confront a past he's avoided for ten long years.

And I can't help showing off my own cover bigger because I adore Cam on it:



My story is up first: Hidden Blade
Sometimes willpower isn't enough.

Cam

Social anxiety's been my constant companion for twenty-three years, sometimes in the background, sometimes silencing me and yanking my guts out in the nearest trash can. No matter how much I love playing music, I'm never going to get up on a stage and perform in front of a crowd. But since I met Erik, and was asked to join his band Hellsbane, that knowledge hurts worse.

No heart (even Erik's) or dick (even Erik's) is big enough to carry me past my limits, but God, I wish there was a way.

Erik

Life's damned unfair when a guy with the voice of a hard-rock angel and a songwriting talent like Cam's can only post anonymous videos online. But you can't cure anxiety with wanting, or willpower. My drummer needs to quit trying to push Cam onstage with us before he breaks.

Rocktoberfest's our goal, and touring with Hellsbane was my only ambition until I met Cam. Now I can't have everything I love in one place, but dammit, I wish there was a way.

A first-times, life challenges, coming out, rockstar romance.
