California Dreaming is now available to buy.

Please note, though on their own website, Loose Id says Flings are under 20,000 words, they have decided to designate this story as a "fling" for pricing purposes. However, again based on current information on their site, at 24,000 words, it should be a novella. Ah, well, I just write 'em!  

Below is the blurb from Loose Id.

You can never go home again. But Michael “Mick” Lawler is doing just that after an absence of ten years. Mick left California when his first love, Joe, chose his twin sister, Raine, over him. Joe and Raine married and a broken-hearted. Mick left behind everything he’d ever known.

Settling first in Chicago, Mick met his sexy as sin fellow lawyer, Zach Covington. When Zach left Chicago for sunny Florida, Mick went with his best friend. Life is great. He has a good job, a nice apartment, and Zach close by. Sure, Mick is in love with seemingly unobtainable player, Zach, but just having Zach in his life is enough. Or so Mick thinks.

When Raine calls one night to tell him Joe is dead, she begs her brother to come back to California. Mick agrees to return but he’s not going alone. Zach insists on going. Once there, Mick has to deal with his grieving twin, his estranged parents, and his newfound, sudden sexual relationship with Zach. But Raine and his parents have a request of Mick…move back to California permanently. Sounds great. But there’s Zach. Can he really leave the man who holds his heart behind for some California Dreaming? 

Covers to Love Part 1

Sometimes covers come along that I just love. Two of my recent covers are those covers. I've seen the cover for California Dreaming and I love it. As soon as I have the final version I will post it.

But in the mean time I got the cover for my upcoming re-release of Can't Be His and I just adore it. It's what the cover should have been the first time. It fits the story so well. I had to post it here.

The Gift of Casey Coming in December 2016

Over there on the side bar you'll notice I have added another "Coming Soon" story.
I got my holiday story finished and submitted to JMS Books and was offered a contract with the story coming out in December just in time for the holidays. It's called The Gift of Casey. This will be my third and final "new" release coming out this year. California Dreaming comes November 01, 2016 from Loose Id.

Here's my blurb:

Casey Mackenzie unexpectedly finds himself in need of a “boyfriend” for his friends and family’s Thanksgiving dinner. Over the past several months, Casey has been putting off family events and questions with talk of his boyfriend “George”. Only now they actually expect to meet George at the holiday dinner.

 

George Accardo is Casey’s sexy neighbor who also happens to be an actor as well as a guy Casey once gave a rather drunken blowjob to. Embarrassed by his behavior, Casey has avoided George ever since. Until now.

 

Casey offers George fifty bucks to pretend to be his boyfriend for the duration of the Thanksgiving dinner. George has been intrigued by Casey since their first meeting but gave him the space he apparently needed. He accepts the job that Casey assures him is a one-time thing. He intends to tell his family and friends that he and George broke up before Christmas.

 

But Casey is as charmed by George as his family is and soon he finds himself spending more time with George than he had ever intended. And George doesn’t want to break up before Christmas. Or at all.

 

Maybe this Christmas, love will be real and George’s gift will be Casey.

Story Plans

I'm attempting to write a Christmas story. We'll see if I make it. It has to be done and in prior to September 30th in order to make it into JMS Books for consideration. I have no title for it and probably won't until I know I actually got it done.

Once that's done, I'm not sure if I will write anything else this year. I'd like to get some work done for 2017 but this has been a full year for me of re-releases and even a couple of new works like Restaurant Wars, California Dreaming, and the possible Christmas story.

So we'll see. The market is pretty saturated and I've seen a few authors recently announce they were quitting. I'm not ready to do that, but I have to admit today's market is tough to navigate. So, we'll see what happens.
