    Blurb: 

    Stuart Jenner’s job is high stress, high stakes, and everything he’s strived for. So why, when the apex of his career is within reach, does he stumble? At his doctor’s insistence, he books a privately chartered yacht to sail around the Whitsundays for two weeks of sun, surf, and sex. When his friend-with-benefits bails on him at the last minute, Stuart decides to go alone.

    Foster Knight left the rat race behind six years ago, bought a yacht, and now calls the Great Barrier Reef his home. Sailing tourists around tropical waters is all in a day’s work, and he’s never been happier. When his next client arrives alone, the two-week charter will be the most private job he’s ever had.

    Foster can see how stressed and exhausted Stuart is, and he promises him extensive rest and relaxation. Stuart slowly realises his original plan for two weeks of sun, surf, and sex might not be lost yet. Confined to a yacht, isolated by aqua-coloured oceans and the sweltering sun, Stuart and Foster are about to find out just how hot the tropics can get.

    I’ll be deep in my writing cave for the next two weeks in some desperate bid to finish my current WIP before its deadline. Wish me luck!  It also looks like my state is headed back into lockdown (of some kind) and whether my daughter goes back to college this term will remain to be seen at this point. My son is supposed to be sitting his trial-HSC exams the week after next but they have been pushed back. I’m grateful these safety measures are in place and that my family is healthy. But having everyone home while I’m on a deadline is… not fun. LOL

    Take care, everyone! Until next time…

    Blurb for Reindeer Games:

    
Industrial-art student Leif Caldwell and his best friend win tickets to the hottest party in town, the annual masquerade Christmas gala at the upmarket nightclub, Evoque. Not a gig they could ever afford to attend or buy costumes for, so Leif makes their masks. Given the holiday theme and the play on words, he makes a set of striking reindeer antlers and intends to have the night of his life.

    Vintage Ridge’s resident millionaire and owner of Evoque, Russ Quarrington, hates the holiday season because it reminds him of everything he’s lost. All the money and success in the world can’t fill the void in his heart, and this year he’s particularly bereft. With the gala looming, his personal assistant insists Russ attends and that he wear a mask that offers anonymity, and hopefully find some festive cheer. Bored with the guys in town and tired of men only wanting him for his money, he reluctantly agrees.

    But when Russ sees a mysterious man with a magnificent reindeer antlers and mask, he’s instantly intrigued. Even when their masks are removed, Leif has no idea who Russ really is, and what Russ discovers is a man who understands him. And for the first time ever, a man who doesn’t want what Russ has. This time, it’s Russ who wants what Leif has, what money can’t buy.

    Russ and Leif are about to learn that sometimes Reindeer Games are the only games worth playing.

    ** Reindeer Games is a 42,000-word novella. This is a stand-alone book.

     

     

    I will have another book on sale next week so I’ll be back with the details then. Until then, stay safe… xx

  • Good Morning Monday ~ What’s New in February!

     

    Was January not the longest month everrrrrrr? But, by the gods, we made it! February is finally here!  I can finally say that my WIP is finished and currently in my editor’s inbox. It’s called Throwing Hearts, and it’s 54K words of fluff and romance. There’s zero angst, zero conflict, lots of sexual tension, and lots of touchy-feely feels and love. I’ll be sharing the cover next week, so stay tuned!

    This week my kids go back to school (after six weeks off omg) and so begins research for my new book. And guess what? I’m thinking it’s going to be a series!! A trilogy to be more exact. I’m still trying to work out details, and because I’m allergic to any kind of planning, this isn’t easy LOL  I’m keeping mum about it for now, until I get more fleshed out and actual words on paper. It will be set in Australia and it’s not a trope I’ve done before. It is a romance but there will be angst and heartbreak and… I’m pretty sure it will be all in one character’s POV.  Like my Red Dirt books, my Spencer Cohen books, and Thomas Elkin… all books are in the main character’s voice. UNLESS the characters decide to change that, idk. LOL

    I’m excited to get started on this project! There’s always something wonderful and exciting and daunting to begin new things!

    For the first 90 days of this title’s publication, all sales and page reads will be donated to Twenty10, Sydney.

    REINDEER GAMES is part of a multi-author series of books that take place in the same fictional town. Each story can be read in any order. The connecting element in the Ace’s Wild series is an adult store owned by Ace and Wilder. The main characters from each book will make at least one visit to Ace’s Wild, where they’ll buy a toy to use in their story! The only characters who crossover to each book are Ace and Wilder. And with various heat levels, there’s sure to be something for everyone!

    Still waiting on the audio of Upside Down to go live. We’ve had some issues but fingers crossed all is sorted out now and ACX will finally play nice. LOL

    Writing Update:

    Still not great, but the words are slooooooowly happening. My WIP is now at 32K words and they’re probably ALL utter crap, but I can’t fix ’em if I don’t write ’em first. I HAVE to have this manuscript done in the next three weeks. No excuses. <stern face>  So I’m hoping for a super productive week.

    Until then…

     

  • Good Morning Monday!

    I missed last week’s blog post, sorry if anyone was expecting it. To be honest, I was completely out of headspace and just didn’t have it in me to try and be cheerful and excited. I also didn’t really much to talk about. I’ve been struggling to write (still) and that always puts me in a funk. The words still haven’t really been flowing this week either but I do feel better about it so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a more productive week. Even though this week is busy with other stuff…

    On the 25th, Reindeer Games will have a cover reveal, and it will go up for pre-order!!

    Reindeer Games is part of the Ace’s Wild Series (each book is a stand-alone by a different author) and for the first 90 days of release, proceeds go to the author’s charity of choice.
    I’ll have more details on my LGBTQIA+ charity of choice at that time, but I’m super excited for everyone to meet my two main characters, Leif and Russ
