New audiobook!

Breaking Bonds is now available as an audiobook!

From the frying pan into the fire.

After a critic’s review attacks both Chef Liam Walker’s culinary skills and his personal life, Liam can no longer take the heat of the cutthroat New York City restaurant scene. He needs to get out of the kitchen – at least long enough to cool down and regroup.

At the Overlook Resort in North Carolina, Liam meets owner Carter Galloway. Carter has a passion for the hospitality business to rival Liam’s own, and it’s not hard to see where their shared interests – and attraction – could lead. But Carter has no interest in a fling, and Liam has no intention of walking away from the career he fought so hard for. If they want a taste of happiness together, they’ll have to find the courage to break the bonds threatening to pull them apart.

Available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes

The first book in the Walker Boys series, Striking Sparks, is also available as an audiobook, as is the first holiday advent story we wrote for Dreamspinner Press, “On the Rocks.” Purchase links are available on our audiobooks page.

Breaking Bonds book tour!

Ari and I have been busy writing guest posts for our Breaking Bonds book tour, which is currently underway. Our first two guest posts are now available!

The first is at MM Good Book Reviews; I wrote a post about setting and how we used it in Breaking Bonds.

The second is at Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words and features an exclusive excerpt from the book.

And if you’re interested in listening to us rather than reading us, we have a fun video podcast interview with Jeff and Will for their Big Gay Fiction Podcast. This was the first time we’ve been interviewed like this, but it was a really good experience. Chatting with Jeff and Will felt for me (McKay) like having a conversation with friends rather than like I was being interviewed. There’s some bonus footage as well, so if you get a chance, give us a listen!

Two books available for preorder

W’ve got two books available at Dreamspinner Press! One is a 2nd edition and the other is brand new.

The 2nd edition of A Taste of Honey is available for preorder now and will be released on May 17.

Boone Phillips needs a girlfriend—now! If he shows up to the family reunion alone, his mother will throw every woman in sight at him. But the only “woman” Boone trusts enough to ask is Honey, the drag queen alter ego of his best friend, Rob. It’s a crazy idea, but Boone is desperate.

Boone wins Rob over to the idea after first going on a “date” with him as Honey, but everything feels different once the plan is set in motion. Between nosy relatives, illegal moonshine, and the sight of Rob in white lace panties, Boone starts to wonder if he’s as straight as he thought. When an earth-shattering kiss sends Rob running, however, Boone learns some surprising things about both his family and himself. Now he needs to convince Rob to give him another chance, or his first taste of Honey might also be his last.

Breaking Bonds is also now available for preorder and will be released on June 1.

Up-coming Releases

As Ari knows, I’m never happier than when we have at least three works listed in our “Coming Soon!” box in the sidebar of our website, so as you can imagine, I’m thrilled that we now have nine works listed!

Dreamspinner has picked up several of our previously published works and will be re-releasing them in 2017, and we’ve gotten a contract and some estimated dates so they’ll be mixed in with our new releases.

I’m happy to say we’ll have something — new or repub — coming out almost every month in 2017, and that’s just with Dreamspinner. We’ve decided to self-publish some of the works that Dreamspinner didn’t pick up, and we’ve set a goal of getting at least one or two out before the end of 2016.

Our main goal is getting the Herc’s Mercs series out, including the 6th book, which hasn’t been published anywhere before. We did a pretty thorough revision of book 1, so our readers will see some significant differences between the repub and the original release. The main thing we changed is Jude’s characterization and his relationship with his grandmother, and we developed the antagonist’s character and presence in the story a little more.

We haven’t decided how much we’ll tweak the other books in the series; right now, our focus is on finishing a couple of new works, one of which has a looming deadline. But we’re looking forward to making the entire series available again soon!

Pulling all those works from our back catalog was ouchy, so I’m pleased so many of them found a new home with Dreamspinner, and I look forward to them being available to our readers again. We’re going to rebuild our catalog slowly but surely, and we’ve already taken the first steps toward making that happen!
