Hi everyone! I’m happy to say this is the LAST weekend I have to go to my parents property. We hired a company to haul off everything that was too big for us to handle and had them deep clean the house. I cannot believe how hard it is to get the smell of smoke and general funk out of a house. Hopefully this did the trick. And now I can start deep cleaning my own house because I am getting rid of everything I can.
All of the Foggy Basin books are now live and I’ll be reading every one of them. We’ve been so busy getting our books out I haven’t had the time, but now I will and I’m excited to read them. Then of course we’ll be moving on to our Christmas shorts. I’m not sure how many are participating in the Christmas series but we’ll know soon.
I’m currently still working on a short story for an anthology then after that I’m not sure if I’ll write my Foggy Basin Christmas short or if I’ll finish the two other books I have started LOL.
My husband has collected a LOT of books from my parents house. There are probably close to 1000. He plans to donate them to the little libraries all over the place. I love that part, but not so much the part of them filling my garage.

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.

Den Geist gejagt (Valley Ghosts Serie 1)
https://books2read.com/VGhostDE
Jason Thomas hat schon immer davon geträumt, zu beweisen, dass Geister real sind. Bereits als Kind war er besessen von Spukorten und im Laufe der Zeit wurde seine Leidenschaft immer größer. Er schleppte seinen besten Freund Wade in verschiedene Spukhäuser und Hotels, immer in der Hoffnung, einen echten Geist zu sehen.
Wade Rivers hat es immer geliebt, Zeit mit Jason zu verbringen, auch wenn das bedeutete, dass er einen gruseligen Ort nach dem anderen ertragen musste. Und ehe er sichs versah, entwickelten sich Wades Gefühle für Jason von einer Freundschaft zu etwas mehr. Leider wuchs auch seine Angst vor den Orten, die Jason erkunden wollte.
Die Chance, ein Wochenende allein in einem berühmten Spukhaus zu verbringen, ist für Jason die Erfüllung eines Traums, während es für Wade eher ein Albtraum ist. Er weiß, dass Jason fasziniert von dem verlassenen Haus ist und so versucht er, seine Ängste zu verdrängen. Doch als merkwürdige Dinge passieren, ist das Eingeständnis seiner Gefühle für Jason plötzlich nicht mehr das Beängstigendste, was Wade passieren kann.

Auf der Suche nach Isaac: Serie Foggy Basin 2
https://books2read.com/DEIsaac
Isaac Grant hat seine gesamten dreiundzwanzig Lebensjahre in Foggy Basin verbracht. Alles war perfekt, bis sein liebster Freund mit gewissen Vorzügen, Jack, die Liebe seines Lebens traf. Klar, er freute sich für Jack, aber er vermisste ihn und sehnte sich nach jemandem, der ihn nachts warm hielt oder mit dem er gemeinsam in Schwierigkeiten geraten konnte.
Tig Sawyer verließ Foggy Basin, nachdem er dort nur etwas mehr als ein Jahr gelebt hatte. Er machte seinen Highschool-Abschluss, ging an ein College in einem anderen Bundesstaat und blickte größtenteils nie zurück. Doch die Erinnerungen an dieses gemächlichere Leben kamen immer wieder hoch, wenn er bis zum Hals in der Arbeit steckte – und in seinem Privatleben.
Isaac hatte nie nach einer Beziehung gesucht und war mehr als glücklich damit, sein Leben locker und frei zu leben, doch seit er Tig kennengelernt hatte, fragte er sich, warum er nie jemanden für sich selbst gewollt hatte. Er fragte sich auch, warum jemand wie Tig, der sein Leben im Griff hatte und immer verdammt glücklich wirkte, sich auf ihn einlassen wollte. Doch die Art, wie Tig ihn ansah, verriet ihm, dass er mehr als bereit dazu war.

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance

Since being thrown out of his home by his parents, Caden has been struggling to survive on the streets.He lives in constant fear, stresses over his next meal, and dreads trying to find a safe place to sleep at night. He eventually finds an unlocked car and settles in to sleep, but is soon interrupted when someone steals the car. With little choice but to ride along, Caden soon learns that first impressions aren’t always correct.
Seventeen-year-old Damario has been raising his little brother and sister by himself since his parents were deported. He never knew how hard it was going to be paying the bills and making sure there was always food on the table. Or how hard it would be to hold his family together when they all depended on him to do it. He finds himself stealing cars to make ends meet, but he never expected to find someone sleeping in the back of one of them. And he really didn’t expect this stowaway to change his life.
When Damario brings Caden home, it was supposed to be just for a shower and a hot meal, but he can hardly kick him out onto the streets again. There is no way he could have seen that by saving Caden that night, he was also saving himself. When Damario’s world starts to fall apart, they both realize that the answer to all of their problems is helping each other, and although the world tries to drive them apart, they really are better together.
