Everyone, I started a new list for best m/m romance of 2018 here:

And if you want to go back to the 2017 list and un-vote for books by a certain author, that link is here:

This could take a turn. I've certainly been wrong before. But so far, at 10%, I am freaking LOVING this.

Guys, don't forget to check out Make the Yuletide Gay - I have a short holiday story in there where I get a tad bit kinky with a Christmas tie. Free everywhere except Amazon - all Amazon proceeds are going to the Trevor Project.

Make the Yuletide Gay is available! It's a totally FREE holiday anthology of five short stories, one of which is by ME. So check out A Christmas Party to Remember by Nicky Spencer and four other stories by my four of my friends. Available at all the places.

"Remy lifted an eyebrow. 'I don't see Derek?'
Jason snorted. 'Like he said, the hens are in the kitchen. Derek gave up his man card for this one."

Oh no. This does not bode well.

If you thought he wasn't coming, then why were you planning to sleep on the floor instead of the bed?

I really need thoughts/opinions so please respond! I want to know if the m/m romance crew in general would enjoy a YA book with absolutely no sex. Does there have to be some sexual content in order for you to enjoy a book? If it never goes further than kissing and ends with the door closing, could you still like the book or would that make you angry?

Guys, I'm so bored! What should I read? I've tried and failed at the Keira Andrews pirate book, and the Piper Vauhgn/Avon Gale hockey book. I may finish them both eventually but neither is really working for me right now. Am I the problem?

So I know I enjoyed this book the first time, and I know Garrett Leigh is a good writer. But this re-read is a SLOG. Nothing happens in this book. Like at all. I don't know if I can get through it. I want to read Circle so I needed a refresher and now I'm like...how did anyone ever like this?

What do you do if you have committed to having a short story written by a date that is FAST approaching, but you don't like your story and writing it is no fun? I have a first draft that's okay, I can just use that but it's not something I'm proud or excited to send out into the world. I'm trying to revise and it has seriously been one of the hardest things I've ever done, writing-wise.

Guys, if you're as obsessed with adorable boys in love as I am (and I know you ARE!) may I suggest hopping over to Youtube and indulging in Dion Yorkie and Sebb Argo? I've lost the last week of my life to them and it's only fair that you do too.

Listening to the audiobook, narrated by the author.
She pronounces the word forehead as "farhead."

I'm so bored right now, you guys. Talk to me!

Friends, Advanced Review Copies of my novel A Bolt of Blue are ready! Please PM me if you'd like a copy. I just ask that you post a review here and on Amazon. If there are a lot of requests, I'll cap it at 15. (Honestly I don't expect that many requests though...) Thanks, guys!

A Bolt of Blue has a cover! It's a real book!

Listening to the audio. Why does Jude have a southern accent and none of his siblings do? Just because he's a country singer? Yeah, no.

I don't get why Jeremy's even there.

I put my book up on Amazon (KU) for pre-order. It takes up to 72 hours for it to show up, so now I'm just hitting refresh every 10 seconds, lol. But it should be available for pre-order shortly! I'll shout out the link when it's ready. Or you can wait and read it for free if you have Kindle unlimited.

LOL, omg. If someone blocks you, does it just show that their review and profile are private? Pretty sure I just got blocked for no reason.

"I know we've been told to blindly obey."

No! No we haven't!!!! I'm starting to get a little upset guys. Maybe I should take a break.

"Only the most righteous, those who lived His principles, who served missions, regularly visited the temple, married in the temple for all time and eternity, paid a full tithe, only those people would achieve Heavenly Father's highest blessing."
Another very sad misunderstanding of the doctrine. It is good to do all of those things. But what's missing here is the principle of repentance. Adam frustrates me.

I'm totally confused about why this author chooses to portray the church about being SO STRICT about so many dumb little things that they actually aren't that strict about, but then acts like masturbation is no big deal and it's really just Adam's dad that was being weird about it? That's one thing that IS a big deal. It's not just Adam's dad.

"Adam had never considered that being kind and helpful was as important to living the Gospel as was knowing the scriptures."

Oh, WOW. That right there is a giant red flag of someone who has no idea what his religion even is. That's very disturbing.
