At the moment we have three new stories coming up (hopefully that number will be increasing quickly!) and we’d like to share a little about them, because each of them is rather unique for us.

Dandy’s Little Girl is a different sort of Valentine’s Day story from our last one, and includes an MC with a child, something we’ve not published before. It was very interesting writing Emily, and see how she effects the relationship between her father and the new man in his life. Children always make things more complicated, and Emily is no exception!

Call of the Night Singers is a Gothic horror story, written in first person with very Lovecraftian overtones. This is an established relationship piece, and we’re hoping to have conveyed the slowly mounting sense of horror and dread that H.P. Lovecraft did so masterfully.

Finally, for the moment, we have Herc’s Mercs: The Bigger They Come, a tale of a man who has everything, including a stalker. We’re hoping this will be a series, featuring important men in danger and the big, buff bodyguards who protect their lives. There is a lot of action in store, and we hope everyone enjoys it! 😀

Our our holiday romantic comedy, “Holiday Hootenanny”, is out today at Torquere Books! Josh and Clint are lovers thinking about taking their relationship to a new level, but that means meeting each others families – and Josh has a family that would try the patience of a saint! As crazy and weird as home life is, though, Josh adores his family, and he couldn’t bear it if Clint couldn’t get along with them. He reluctantly takes Clint home for Christmas, and chaos ensues. Will Clint be able to handle it, or will Josh lose the man he loves?

Check it out! 😀

As everyone knows, we have a “Coming Soon” widget on here to keep everyone apprised of what’s coming out in the near future. But I thought I’d give folks a little taste of what’s beyond that, things that we have in the works which haven’t been submitted yet but which we will (hopefully!) have accepted by our publishers. If anyone is excited about these, we’d love to hear from you! 🙂

The second Blood Bathory novel is completed and we’re doing our edits before submission. This one is pretty cool, featuring several new characters in addition to Will and Ian. Elizabeth isn’t out of the picture yet, and we reveal more of her backstory – as well as a new villain who is possibly even more frightening.

We’ve started the first of what we hope will end up being a new series of novellas, centered around men who served together in a paramilitary outfit and are now working together in civilian life. Dangerous situations and action are featured in addition to romance!

Speaking of novellas, we have plans for a few more stories in the Recipe for Romance series, so if you love Stephen, Robert, and some of their friends from Montgomery House, you haven’t seen the last of them! Stephen and Robert may have gotten their chance at happiness at last, but Stephen still has Things To Say about how other people should live their lives, and Robert is right there with him to try to smooth things over when the situation gets rough. Our snarky chef and ninja-cupid take to the road, and Mouth of the South starts its first season – but will disaster strike when the very first episode features rival cooks who have carried a grudge against each other since high school, and who both are determined to win the title of Best Barbecue in the South?

We also have a stand-alone novel in the works, where a gay man who is suddenly thrust into fatherhood finds that coping is tough – at least until a handsome pediatrician decides to step in and lend an unexpected hand.

Beyond those, we have Blood Bathory 3, which is shaping up to be a wild ride, and we’re currently tossing around ideas for another stand-alone novel, this one in an unusual setting. And of course we have a list of plot bunnies a mile long!

There is much more to come from Ari McKay in the future – and we hope everyone will be as happy to read our new works as we are to write them!
