What’s Up
So I haven’t changed the covers on Prodigal and Collared, but I have redone the paperback wraps for them. What do y’think? They’re not bad, eh?
I only have Wolf Winter to finish now and I’ll be done and dusted! Actually, then I have to put them wide and get them up on other places, but life is a grind :D Lemme have this!
The German language version of Shiftless will be OUT SOON! So if you’re German, keep an eye on Dead Soft - who have been a delight to work with, by the way!
Pupdate of the Week
It has been a busy week! Izzy and Jax got a visit to the beach, a different beach up the North Coast, and tomorrow another beach! A lot of fairly accessible fun places around me tend to be, you know, coast related!
They were zonked out!
Reader’s Corner
Today we are delighted to welcome Diane Fair, for a quick chat about the MM Romance genre and what she’s looking for in books! Thanks, Diane! xoxo
What book introduced you to the MM romance genre?
Jay Northcote's 'Coming Home'.
What book/author do you think should be on more people's TBR pile?
Nicole Colville! Bittersweet M/M romances which will leave you craving more.
We all know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but what’s a cover you love anyhow?
Olive Juice by T.J. Klune. (Gotta admit, I missed this one by TJ Klune. I am always interested in how an author can do a really SAD book and pull it off. My personal instincts are aggressively against dealing with or thinking about emotions, so it’s not one of my strengths! I’ll have to check it out. TAM)
What’s Your Insta-buy Trope Potion?
That would be Second Chance Romance!
Check out some great M/M romance trope recommendations here!
(And, of course, I’ve a few of my own that fit that!)
Shout Out of the Week
I’m a sucker for things that go vroom. I, personally, drive like I’m delivering eggs that I’ve balanced on the roof. But I love the really tightly knit world and culture that exists around vrooming…and annoying people by saying vrooming :D
Formula Q is the fastest motorsport in the world. Only the highest-performing athletes can make it to the grid. They drive fast, work hard, and play hard, but off-camera, anything goes.
The public knows me as Damon ‘the Speed Demon’ Davidoff, eligible bachelor and winner of FQ titles around the world. Fans adore me and my team supports me. They don’t need to know I’m so deep in the closet I intend to bury myself there.
Then my poor health catches up to me and my world comes crashing down. I could bounce back easily if it weren’t for one little complication: my male nurse is attractive as hell.
I can suppress these feelings during the season break—I have to. I’m not going to expose my secret just because I feel a fire coursing through my veins when Rocky puts his hands on me.
As the weeks go by, I somehow let Rocky under my skin and into my heart. He’s smart, sweet, and everything I never knew I needed.
I thought I wanted a clean bill of health and to keep winning my races. Now, for the first time in my life, I want so much more. I want him, and damn if that isn’t the scariest thing I’ve ever felt.
(“Drive to Thrive” is a male/male motorsports romance novel. It involves Christmas karaoke, New Year’s Eve parties, Las Vegas swimming pool dates, and yes, lots of racing action worldwide. It is book one of a series, has a HEA, and can be read as a standalone)
