Hi everyone! Only a few more days for Herds and Hooves but ARCs are available now! If you’re an ARC reviewer you can get your copy here: https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review-copy/view/310463/herds-and-hooves
There have also been two more Foggy Basin releases which I’ll share below. There are so many good stories, I can’t wait to read them all. I can tell you in Herds and Hooves one of my favorite side characters is now off the market, and happy as a clam about it.
I need to write a short story by the end of the month for an anthology and I will FINALLY have time to write more since we’re hiring a cleaning company to deep clean the bathrooms and kitchen at my parents house. We tried, but we’re tired, and I’m old LOL. I am sooooooo over it at this point. We’ve gone every weekend but four for the past five months. Time to bring in the experts.
Now onto the good stuff! Thanks everyone!

Herds and Hooves
Foggy Basin Season Three
https://books2read.com/HerdsandHooves
Keith Brooks has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his thirty-eight years and cannot imagine any reason to change that. He’s made a life for himself here trimming cattle hooves and occasionally working as a farrier when one of the nearby horse ranches needs it.
Bart Martin grew up in a suburb of Sacramento. Where conveniences are nearby, and he’s content with his life if not a little lonely and bored. Until he receives a call from his uncle, who lives in a tiny town in northern California that’s barely big enough to be on the map.
Bart is out of his element when he arrives at Foggy Basin during a Pride parade, and after getting lost. Lucky for him, Keith offers to help. He’s not sure he should trust the gruff man with arms the size of tree trunks, but he’s desperate. It’s a small decision that could change both their lives and force this city boy to learn to enjoy a life that he’s never considered.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Nestled at the base of the foothills in northern California, this small town is full of characters just waiting to tell you their story. Whether you’re just passing through or you decide to stay a while longer, you’ll always find a warm welcome from the townsfolk. From farmers and animal rescues to artists and small business owners. Foggy Basin has it all.

Flights and Sights
Foggy Basin Season 3
https://books2read.com/flightsandsights
Callum is counting down the days until he can escape Foggy Basin again. One month. One family reunion. Zero intentions of staying. Falling for Paxton, the charming, award-winning meadery owner he meets mid-flight while talking him through a panic attack, was never part of the plan.
Fate has other ideas. Reunited in Foggy Basin, their instant connection deepens over Paxton’s brews, late night conversations, and family reunion events, when Paxton volunteers to attend as Callum’s new boyfriend to shield him from his terrible ex. When Paxton’s dream of expanding his meadery is threatened by a stubborn developer, Callum uses the one thing he’s always trusted–his words–to help Paxton fight back. What starts as a mutual favor turns into a shared mission… and something dangerously close to love.
With family expectations closing in and his carefully planned escape uncertain, Callum has to decide if Foggy Basin is just another stop on his journey, or the place where he decides to return for good.
Flights and Sights is a low-angst, small town, spicy MM romance that includes fake dating, nosy family, honey-sweet chemistry, and finding a love worth staying for.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Bales & Brawn

I’ve only just arrived in this small town and I’ve managed to make an enemy, so it’s a surprise when he offers me a job. Zane is uptight and can’t seem to stand my presence so I’m surprised when he throws down a challenge. One I don’t hesitate to accept. But I soon find out there’s more to Zane than I realised and an attraction I can’t deny.
Zane
There’s something about the dark-haired stranger in town that intrigues me, but I can’t say I like him. His easy going manner rubs me up the wrong way. But he gets under my skin and when I’m forced to accept his help he brings out another side of me. But wanting him has consequences so it’s good he’s only in town for a short time.
Bales and Brawn is a grumpy/sunshine, boss/employee romance with a double bi-awakening and a demi-sexual rep. Throw in some forced proximity, only one bed and some hurt/comfort and even the slowest of romances will start to burn.

Drag King Aster has just graduated college and moved back home to Foggy Basin to focus on his writing… but with Dillon and Tane planning a wedding, the apartment is feeling far too small. His best friend suggests he move into her old room at the family farm, after all, it’s only her brother living there with the alpacas.

When a new development threatens the quiet of the farm and the livelihood of the surrounding wilderness, Aster finds the cause he needs, and brings Mickey along for the ride.
Between battling a new Gen AI data center, escaped alpacas and board games, can true love be denied?
