New: Changes on Ice, audio of Transparent Is a Color

I have two new stories out for you - today is the release day for Changes on Ice  - Changes Book 2.

This one is an MM hockey romance with a fair amount of hurt-comfort angst, an asexual discovery arc, and opposites-attract for Cross -- a wealthy, talented NHL player who has everything, until he doesn't -- and Rusty, a minor league player for whom the pennies of an ECHL salary and his old pickup truck are all he owns in the world.

This is book 3 in the  Changes  series, but follows two new MCs in a different direction, so I'm curious to see what fans of the series think. It also should stand alone, if you didn't read the MMM first two books (although Scott, Will and Casey show up in cameos).

Content warning for grief, stalking.

AND the amazing JF Harding who did such a talented job on my Life Lessons audio books, was looking for a lighter story for a change, and agreed to take on  Transparent Is a Color.  His performance brings added nuance and fun to my story of Perry, a bumbling young not-so-superhero, Deckard, a protective bomb-squad cop, the clever detection dog Nix, and a bunch of secondary characters.

Check out the audio on Apple, Amazon, and Audible - https://books2read.com/TransparentIsAColor-Kaje



I hope listeners enjoy this book in the Subparhero series - all the books stand alone.

New Hockey multi author series

Are you still reading hockey fic like I am? Are you ready for some brand new choices?

The Games We Play - Season Two is coming.

Now in preorder: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK87H2QK

Covers of the books in Games We Play series 2

Books by a bunch of well-known hockey writers, and other writer folk like... well, me :)

Season Two will begin with a duo:

"Rough Draft: The Games We Play - Season 2" by RJ Scott and VL Locey (remember the Railers books?) on Oct 7

AND "Conditioning Loan: The Games We Play - Season 2" by LA Witt (remember Rebound?) also Oct 7

My book is "Against the Odds: The Games We Play - Season 2" - coming Oct 22

- hurt-comfort
- single guardianing of a younger brother
- opposites attract

Callum is a hotheaded goalie in the minor PHL (think AHL) who is singleminded about getting to the NAPH (think NHL) - once he's earning real money he can pay back his grandfather for taking him in when he was nine. He's not getting derailed by his teen crush moving back in next door, or his least favorite uncle showing up. But determination may not be enough.

Zeke is a cop, on leave after a long deep-undercover assignment, when his step-mom dies and he becomes the guardian for his pre-teen halfbrother. Moving back in the family home is weird, fitting a grieving kid in as he goes back on shift work is hard. And then there is Callum...

Check out all the books in the series. (And if you're eager to start, the Season One books are all available.)

Release day for my redheaded goalie

Today is release day for my latest contemporary hockey book Against the Odds: The Games We Play - Season 2 (Yeah, I seem to be writing a lot of contemporary, but I promise, super secret werewolves book coming soon.)

I had great fun, not least because this book is set in Canada - complete with Canadian spellings and maple syrup.

Against the Odds is currently on Amazon and in KU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FKZK99HR
and check out the rest of Games We Play - Season 2 series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK87H2QK



* hockey romance
* opposites attract
* raising a younger brother
* past loss
* hot-tempered goalie
* toxic family member
* a smidge of drama

All the books in this series take place in the same hockey season, but are written to stand alone.
