And the nominees are...


Yes, I am excited, and honored, and would have to figure out how to do a backflip if either of my little books get voted into the top three. A huge and heartfelt thank you to those who nominated me. I know who you are... oh, that sounded kind of menacing didn't it?

You're Always in the Last Place You Look

YAITLPYL is a YA book, previously titled; The Pastor's Son. This will be my first release of 2014. Over half done, I am planning on a February release. I combined my knowledge and love of rodeo with a sweet romance in this book. The main character, Gabriel, is the town Pastor's son and competes as a header in high school rodeo. Life is copacetic, that is until Zane Z. Zimmerman arrives, stirring feelings in him he never thought he'd find. As the book progresses, he learns half the town knew he was gay before he did. This is a coming out story but not typical. Gabe has only ever wanted to feel, so when he finally does, he embraces his sexuality with everything he is. Now he just has to tell his parents, and hope he doesn't become the center of one of his father's sermons. Set in small town Idaho, the story is as languid and sweet as small town life should be. The story contains minor alcohol and drug use, as well as some swearing and age appropriate sexual situations.

Trey Grey; Out of the Dark

I need some inspiration to get back into Trey's head, and finish he and Justin's story. A few hard hits to my soul over the first book have me in a funk. If you love him and his story, please vote for him on the goodreads lists and the MM Romance Readers Choice awards. Thank you so much to those who nominated both The Darker Side of Trey Grey and Six in several catagories. I am about 30K into the second book, but I stagnated due to just a few saying my book is all over the place and unrealistic, that Trey's OCD is ill formed, Trey's mind and mental issues are ill founded. I'd really like to finish their story. I have a third book, a novella, that shows us their life together ten years later already outlined. So show Trey your love and hopefully he will open up to me again.
