Tuesday Update!

Hi everyone! The last two Foggy Basin books will be released this week. I can’t believe it’s over so soon. We really have had a lot of fun working as a group and next year we’ll be back! Maybe with some new authors and with totally new projects in the Foggy Basin world. Right now Guy Veryzer is working on the audiobook of Herds and Hooves so hopefully it’ll be out soon!

Anyone here from York UK that’s going to Rainbow Bookfest? If you are and you don’t have your ticket yet, email me. I have two tickets that I would love to give to someone attending.

I think I mentioned I had gotten rights back to The Valley Ghosts Series in German. Well I have republished Ghost Hunted and hope to get the others up soon! I’ll link it below.

Here’s the good stuff!

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. 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/GhostHuntedGerman

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.
Ein paranormaler, romantischer friends-to-lovers Thriller.

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.

After years away, Spencer is rejoining Black Shadows—but only by working with the two bandmates who once nearly wrecked everything. Old grudges and buried betrayals threaten the reunion before it starts.

Jamie thought life with Spencer was steady—UCLA classes, a future he’s fighting for, and a relationship he trusts. Then he learns Spencer will be performing with the ex who left deep scars, and suddenly running feels safer than staying.

Now Spencer is torn between the band that built him and the boy who became his home. If he can’t keep the past from tearing them apart, he risks losing both.

Weekend Update!

Hi everyone! Hopefully this works. I tried to work on my website so its a HUGE mess. I am not meant to program in ANY way and it shows. So hopefully this will give me the push I need to finally figure it out and fix it up. We’re going to my parents again on Saturday and HOPEFULLY only one more time and it’ll be done. We’re selling it as is so no remodeling but it’s a very nice piece of property it’s just very remote.

The first of our Foggy Basin series is LIVE on August 2!! Brina Brady’s Boss and Brat is ready to go and we’re all ready to share this season with you. I will attempt to send a Newsletter for every release so hopefully it all works!

If you get an email thanking you for subscribing AGAIN, I apologize. I tried to turn it off so it only sends to new subscribers, but as you know I have no clue what I’m doing. So I really hope you only get this and not multiples.

After quitting his job, Billie Watts hits all the food festivals he can as he drives across the country. When he finally reaches Stoney Brook, Maine, he’s excited to find he’s there just in time to try one of the lobster rolls he’s heard so much about. The bright neon yellow food truck with a giant red lobster on top looks like the perfect place to try it.

Lance Karl is as ready as he can be for the start of the three-day Tall Ships Festival and hopes to sell enough lobster rolls out of his food truck to make a good start towards owning a restaurant. The day begins cold and misty, and a text from his nephew saying he can’t help him is not the perfect start he’d hoped for.

When a green-eyed stranger interrupts his frantic morning, Lance doesn’t realize meeting Billie will not only change his day, but maybe even the rest of his life. Two strangers, drawn together over their work ethic, and sealing the deal over delicious lobster rolls. They could just be the perfect match. A small-town MM Vacation romance.

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.
