Dreams and Reptiles

Francis

I refer to the events of the past year as My Demise, and now that I’ve received a significant settlement, I’m ready to move on with my life. While visiting the town of Foggy Basin for their Pride Festival, I fell in love with the vibe. Lots of folks move there to start over, so why shouldn’t I? My cousin Derek shows me a quirky property for sale just outside of town, and once I see it, inspiration hits. Why not create a retreat where folks can make their dreams a reality? I ignored mine for way too long, but not anymore, and if I happen to run into the hot firefighter I shared a kiss with at Pride, well, I’ll take it as a sign.

Kendall

My entire adult life, I’ve taken care of people, and now I’m ready to start the next phase of my journey in California. I’ve spent years learning about various species of reptiles, and it just so happens that Grandma left me the perfect place to build a sanctuary. Only, I soon discover that my passion project is a bit trickier than I thought it would be. My spirits lift, however, when the saucy young guy I met at Pride moves in next door to me. At first, I worry perhaps he’s one of those wealthy people who come to town and throw their money around, but when I learn the truth about his past, I’m determined to make him see just how deserving of love he is. 

Dreams and Reptiles is an age-gap, hurt/comfort romance between two men with bruised and battered hearts ready for a second chance at happiness in small-town California. For Mature Readers due to sexual content, frisky aunties, reptilian escape artists, and meddling polyamorous firefighters. 

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.

Tuesday Update!

Hi everyone! I hope you were able to get lots of books on Stuff your Kindle day! Nuts and Bolts is still free until the 12th so get it while you can!

We have reached the point at my parents house where we want to hire someone to do the rest LOL. The kitchen and the bathrooms, or as I call one of them, the murder bathroom, are too overwhelming. So we’re having someone come and take a look this week to see what they’d charge. Honestly I’d pay almost anything right now to have it done. It’s been five months of weekly visits to clean all day and drive two hours each way. So hopefully it’s over SOON!

I’m SO excited to share Herds and Hooves. Bart and Keith are the cutest, and as with most of my characters, they end up changing things up and keeping me guessing. Only a few more days until you can see for yourself. Gabbi Grey’s book released and I wanted to share it again since it was so crazy with Stuff Your Kindle Day so check it out, and get ready for the next one!

Here’s the good stuff!

Nuts and Bolts

FREE August 8-12

https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts

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

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.

Finding Isaac

$2.99 Sale ends August 16

https://books2read.com/FindingIsaac

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at night, or to get into trouble with.

Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a little over a year. He graduated from high school and moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most part, never looked back. But memories of that slower pace always came back to him when he was neck deep in work, and his personal life.

Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was more than happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has his life together and always seems happy as hell, would want to take him on. But there’s something in the way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

Ride

$2.99 Ends August 16

https://books2read.com/RIDEtcoal

Kace Hallard leaves Sacramento, bound for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, something he and his father had always planned to do together. When his father realizes he won’t be able to make the trip, he makes Kace promise to go on his own. He takes off, not sure he’s up to the challenge, and when he has mechanical trouble a few hours away from home, he questions his choice even more.

Striker Johnson is just out buying lunch for the guys at the shop when he notices the handsome stranger in the parking lot checking over his Harley and looking confused. He approaches him and offers his help. The next few hours fly by, and Kace asks Striker to join him.

It’s the trip of a lifetime for them both, one man looking to ease his grief, the other riding toward emotions he has no hope of controlling. One way or another they’ll have to decide if they ride together or separately, when life throws them one more curve.

Herds and Hooves

Foggy Basin Season Three

https://books2read.com/HerdsandHooves

https://mybook.to/FoggyBasin3

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.

Keystrokes and Kittens

https://books2read.com/KeystrokesandKittens

Soren

My life is super simple—there’s my labrador retriever Tibby, my job as a cybersecurity expert, and my cabin on the edge of a beautiful lake in Foggy Basin. I have virtual coworkers who are kind, I have real-life friends who are generous, and I belong to a thriving and accepting LGBTQ community in town. My life’s pretty damn sweet. Except when I think about one shy, gorgeous, elusive man. Sam makes my heart beat a little faster. He makes my smile grow a little bigger. And he runs whenever we’re alone together.

Sam

As the manager of the pet food store, I get to meet the most amazing pet parents. I’ve become friends with the local dog trainer, and at his Christmas party, I ran into a guy I’d been admiring and avoiding whenever he came into my store. Soren is kind, and he’s hot, not the kind of man to look at me twice. I always get tongue-tied and run away as fast as I can. Until I rescue a litter of newborn kittens and find myself drowning in the demands of their hour-by-hour care. Then Soren finds me falling asleep over my register and offers to help. I can’t turn that kindness down, but I still don’t know what to say when I’m around him.

Keystrokes and Kittens is an opposites-attract, interracial gay romance with a normally chill guy who can become discombobulated, the man who wants to be his friend, and the cutest litter of matchmaking kittens ever.

Weekend Update!

Hi everyone! I still haven’t had time to rebuild my website but hopefully once I’m done writing I can do that. I’m trying to get the last bit of Herds and Hooves finished so there isn’t an update for The Do Over. I miss them already. I really love their story and can’t wait to get back to it.

This week the first Foggy Basin books were released. I am SO excited for this year. I know I keep saying that but it really has been a good one. I’m going to do a special section to share them each week so you won’t miss any. We’re already planning next season, and of course there will be the holiday shorts.

I’m off to my parents again tomorrow for what we all hope is the last time we need to go for a while. There is still furniture and other crap to haul off but by tomorrow the house should FINALLY be clean. It’s been nearly every weekend since March and I cannot believe it’s taken this long. We’ve managed to sell a few things and hoping to sell a bit more. Some things we have no clue what they even are. The amount of Tupperware was craaaazy but like I said it’s nearly done!

This week I managed to watch the first new Ted Lasso episode. This is such a good series and just what I need right now. My son made me watch Backrooms last week and I don’t remember if I mentioned it, but it wasn’t for me. Too much unexplained, and so many spots in the story where nothing happened. I’m catching up with the new season of Silo and hope we get more answers from it.

Now for the good stuff!

FREE!

You can get Nuts and Bolts FOR FREE From August 8-12. There will also be a big freebie event on the 10th and I’ll send out a separate email for it.

Avery

One night with a handsome ex-bodyguard was all it took. Five months later, and I’m still burning for him. Moving to a small town to chase my dream of becoming a designer was supposed to be strictly professional, but the moment I lock eyes with Gideon again, my career isn’t the only thing constantly on my mind. He’s incredibly sweet, fiercely protective, and dedicated to his work, but can I convince him that what we have is the real deal?

Gideon

A gorgeous, passionate fashion designer and a quiet beekeeper don’t belong together. We’re complete opposites. I’m thirty-eight and ready to settle down. Meanwhile, Avery is living life and chasing his dream. He’s meant for bright runway lights, not to be tangled in my sheets. But when a cruel critic threatens his future, my protective instincts take over. I promised myself I wouldn’t catch feelings for him. Unfortunately, I think I’m already too late.

Ethan Evans has spent his whole life doing what everyone else wants; working the ranch, pretending he’s straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he’s stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss… a man he can’t stop noticing.

🏳️‍🌈 ⋰🐎⋱🧡⋰☀️⋱🏳️‍🌈⋰♥️⋱📗⋰☀️⋱💜⋰🐎⋱🏳️‍🌈

Carter Higgins shows up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying the quiet authority that makes people straighten up without being asked. He’s got a past he doesn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he does have is discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.

Ethan’s trouble. Carter sees it instantly. But he also sees the fear, the longing, and the spark Ethan tries so hard to hide. Carter knows that look—he’s worn it himself.

As the two of them clash, circle, and collide in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blur fast. Ethan wants freedom. Carter wants peace. Neither expects to want the other.

Nathan leaves behind his life in a small town in Pennsylvania to move to London for a man he’s never seen. After months of chatting online with the mysterious Charles, who promises the world, Nathan agrees to be the man’s sub with the hope his life will change. So, the big problem is Nathan’s a virgin and has zero real-life relationship experience.

When Nathan arrives in London, Charles is nowhere in sight, only a limo driver with mysterious instructions. He drives Nathan to a hotel where he stays overnight, then delivers him to the address of Lawrence, the handsome man, who he sat next to on the plane to London.

Both of them have told so many lies and half-truths. When all the dark lies threaten to come between them, is it too late for Charles and Nathan to come clean with each other?

** New Release ***Working as a bouncer at his family’s strip club allows Phoenix to keep the dancers safe, even if that means he’s the one who winds up scarred. Fierce, protective, he’s a pup more used to being a handler and seeing to everyone else’s needs but his own.

Enter Parker and Aspen. Older. Sophisticated. Nurturing. Falling for them wouldn’t have been in his five-year plan, if he had one, but now that they’re a part of his life, hanging on to them is all Phoenix can think about.

Whether it’s nights spent at a drag show together or afternoons sprawled across them on the couch, lazily drinking all the milk they produce, Phoenix can’t get enough. But will the differences between them create a gap to big to bridge, or will the clever pup find a way to have everything he’s never dared to dream of?

Their Pup to Tame is the third book in The Lactin Brotherhood series written by Layla Dorine about men who naturally lactate and the guys who need them. In this standalone, you’ll get a sweet and sexy story that brings together at least one loving Daddy and an adorable Pup.

Avery

One night with a handsome ex-bodyguard was all it took. Five months later, and I’m still burning for him. Moving to a small town to chase my dream of becoming a designer was supposed to be strictly professional, but the moment I lock eyes with Gideon again, my career isn’t the only thing constantly on my mind. He’s incredibly sweet, fiercely protective, and dedicated to his work, but can I convince him that what we have is the real deal?

Gideon

A gorgeous, passionate fashion designer and a quiet beekeeper don’t belong together. We’re complete opposites. I’m thirty-eight and ready to settle down. Meanwhile, Avery is living life and chasing his dream. He’s meant for bright runway lights, not to be tangled in my sheets. But when a cruel critic threatens his future, my protective instincts take over. I promised myself I wouldn’t catch feelings for him. Unfortunately, I think I’m already too late.

Tuesday Update! (Fingers Crossed)

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your patience. I HOPEFULLY have it worked out now. I had to change my server, my website had a critical error and then my links were dead! WordPress has helped me to get it all together so I’m hopeful this newsletter goes a little smoother.

As you know the first Foggy Basin book, Boss and Brat, released and later this week there will be two more! This is just such a fun series. It feels at times like we all know each other in this fictional town.

I’m still working on Herds and Hooves. I really hate writing last minute but sometimes it cannot be helped, and this year has really been nuts! But even if I haven’t had time to write as much as I’d like, I’ve written down lots of ideas so hopefully before I’m 90 I’ll get some of them done LOL. AND hopefully I have my website up and running again soon. I have to totally rebuild it so at least it’ll be what I want. Thanks again!

Here’s all the good stuff!

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

Freezing Aversion on Sale! $2.99

Ends August 9

The cold isn’t the only killer in the wilderness.

Benjamin Coulton is a tracker employed by the Consortium, the ruling counsel of vampires. When he’s sent to investigate a rogue vampire killing indiscriminately in a remote region of Alaska. Bad weather hampers his effort and he loses the vampire he’s been tasked to find.

Leon Davis and his friend Trevor agreed to be winter caretakers for several cabins and a fishing lodge, thinking it would be easy money. They settle into their daily routine of checking the cabins for animal break-ins, or broken water pipes, and prepare for a long winter.

Until a run in with a vampire changes everything.

Ben finds a newly turned vampire left for dead by the rogue vampire, and suddenly Ben’s mission changes course. In the freezing wilderness of Alaska, he uncovers more truths and the mate he’d always longed for… and now the vampire he was tasked to find is hunting them. #MMParanormalRomance#vampire#fatedmate#thriller

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.

When Ryan Stone’s aunt asks for help with her bookstore, he leaves the city and moves to the small town of Grace, at least temporarily. He’s so busy cleaning and restocking the store he almost doesn’t notice the handsome mechanic that always seems to show up at the park at the same time he has his lunch.

Every day for the past few weeks, Charlie Castle has been going to the park across the street from the auto shop, hoping for a chance to meet the new guy from the bookstore with the shock of red hair and a penchant for pink sugar cookies.

Ryan wasn’t looking for love when he met Charlie, but meeting Charlie might just give him everything he never knew he needed. MM Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Found Family

Boss and Brat

Brina Brady

https://books2read.com/bossandbrat

Series: https://mybook.to/FoggyBasin3

Ethan Evans has spent his whole life doing what everyone else wants; working the ranch, pretending he’s straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he’s stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss… a man he can’t stop noticing.

🏳️‍🌈 ⋰🐎⋱🧡⋰☀️⋱🏳️‍🌈⋰♥️⋱📗⋰☀️⋱💜⋰🐎⋱🏳️‍🌈

Carter Higgins shows up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying the quiet authority that makes people straighten up without being asked. He’s got a past he doesn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he does have is discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.

Ethan’s trouble. Carter sees it instantly. But he also sees the fear, the longing, and the spark Ethan tries so hard to hide. Carter knows that look—he’s worn it himself.

As the two of them clash, circle, and collide in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blur fast. Ethan wants freedom. Carter wants peace. Neither expects to want the other.
