Summary: Sebbie Life’s pretty good. I love my job, I feed the crows in my yard, and I have some awesome friends. Sure, I was kidnapped by a cult recently, but my friends rescued me, so no harm done. And, okay, people do tend to die around me, but I work in a hospital. That’s normal… right? Death isn’t scary anyway—it’s just another beginning. Unfortunately, most guys I date don’t see it that way. My love life has been pretty empty, but I just met someone new. He’s ridiculously cute and even likes crows. I just hope he’s not scared off when he learns about my job. Corbin I take great satisfaction in removing hellbound souls from the world—especially the ones who prey on the weak. With my pack and my familiar, Crow, at my side, life is steady and peaceful. At least, it was until Sebbie. The cute, bubbly man is far more than he realizes, and he’s about to turn everything upside down. There’s just one little problem: he doesn’t know the supernatural exists… or that he’s a supernatural being. I want to help him harness his powers, but there’s a catch—if I’m not careful, Sebbie might end up killing me in the process. Tags: Crows hold grudges; Death is actually cheerful; Corbin’s as obsessed with shiny things as his birds; The pack shows up to create chaos; Thea is determined to be Sebbie’s new bestie; Jude doesn’t get arrested (or maybe he does?); there’s torture and death (but only of really bad people); hellhounds have tails, and they know how to use them.

Summary: Author’s Note: Next Man Up was written before the tragic and senseless deaths of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. Out of respect for their memory and for the family, publication was delayed, and the book was revised to minimize some unfortunate and highly coincidental similarities to reality. 30% of the author’s royalties will be donated to the John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation, an organization started by the brothers’ family to support causes that were near and dear to their hearts. ---------- When tragedy strikes the Pittsburgh Whiskey Rebels, winger Avery Caldwell loses more than his longtime linemate. Without warning, his best friend in the world is just… gone. There’s no time for grief, though. The season is starting, and now Avery is captain of his devastated team. He’s determined to be strong for them and lead them by example—putting aside his emotions and focusing on hockey. But he can only pretend he’s okay for so long. Peyton Hall was looking forward to a new start on a new team. He’d expected to land a place on the second line and play among men he’s been admiring for years… including a winger he’s been crushing on since forever. Now he’s suddenly centering the top line and trying to fill the skates of a beloved star who’s gone too soon. Avery is determined to ignore his heartache and carry his devastated team. Peyton is determined to find his place among grieving teammates. But can the new guy stop Avery from self-destructing beneath his grief and the pressure of the captaincy? And is there any room for the crackling chemistry they’re both trying desperately to ignore? Next Man Up is a standalone M/M hockey romance. TW: Off-page death, grief, self-medicating, self-destructive behavior, addiction. Also mentions of pregnancy loss/infertility.

Summary: Gabriel: Gabriel is the Divine Herald, the messenger of the Lord, the Angel of Revelation… and he's currently losing ground to social media. (Really, how is he supposed to compete with that ticking app?) When the afterlife’s management team forces him into a “professional development partnership” with a demon, Gabriel is horrified—until he meets Leviathan, a sea monster with tattoos, tentacles, and a knack for helping him connect with mortals. Levi: Leviathan has no interest in going back to the underworld. He’d much rather spend his time topside with his octopus sidekick and now, apparently, one very uptight angel. Teaching Gabriel about mortal pleasures—food, coffee, books, and other things (that require less clothes)—is the best adventure Levi’s had in centuries. But as they both start to enjoy their unexpected partnership, one problem remains: what happens when the leadership team decides the partnership is over? Levi isn’t about to give up his angel, and Gabriel isn’t sure he wants to return to Heaven without his demon. Tags: Featuring one grumpy angel and one cheery sea monster demon; accidental stroke of genius from the leadership team (very accidental); Mt. Everest is overrated, but mortal coffee is divine; even angels enjoy a good book; Gabriel discovers the joys of food, and other mortal pleasures (wink, wink); Levi has tentacles, and Gabriel definitely approves.

Summary: About the Texas Sterling Collection Originally written as four separate books comprising a continuing story featuring the same two main characters, Wyl Sterling and Rod Bonner, it is now available as a collection. This enables readers to flow smoothly from one story to another. Many clues are dropped in the first two stories that lead to events in the second two stories. Those connections existed in the separately published stories but will be easier to follow in this collection. The four stories have been completely re-edited and revised. The story lines themselves remain untouched, but wording is clarified and any errors have been eliminated. Book One: Unexpected Retired Marine Wyl Sterling runs the family ranch with his brother. To better manage the business side, his brother encourages Wyl to get a college degree. But returning to college at 40 has Wyl filled with uncertainty. Then he walks into his first class and meets Dr. Rod Sterling. The attraction is immediate and mutual. Neither man can deny the spark between them, but numerous hurdles block their way, leaving friendship as the best route until a kiss ignites desire for more. But tragedy strikes and triggers challenges that test their resolve. They must face a past and a present that threatens to derail their future. Only one thing is certain, they want that future and want it together. Book Two: The Outing In the arid expanse of Blackfield, Texas, ex-marine turned rancher Wyl Sterling and retired college professor Rod Bonner Sterling find solace in their marriage and peaceful ranch life. Tranquility takes a turn when Mitzi, Wyl’s greedy sister-in-law, reappears, wielding threats to out them in a way that would harm their reputation, relationship, and sense of security. Now, Rod and Wyl must grapple with Mitzi’s relentless pursuit. Will they survive the prejudice, harassment, and eventual confrontation in the City Council Chambers? How can they outsmart Mitzi at her own game? Book Three: Emerald Mission The general’s voice on the answering machine means only one thing: Wyl was being called back into the Marines. When a cybercriminal in Ireland developed a scheme that could cripple the world’s finances, Wyl’s cybersecurity skills are needed. Under the guise of an extended honeymoon, he and Rod must ferret out the criminal and stop him before he succeeds. While Ireland, they discover there is more to it than a simple crime. Their lives are in danger, and stopping the criminal will take more than they expected. Wyl promised they would celebrate their first Thanksgiving together on Sterling Ranch in Texas, but first they need to make it out of Ireland alive. Book Four: Love on the Prairie Cleaning out the historic Bonner home in preparation for selling, Rod and Wyl come across an old trunk hidden in a dark corner of the full basement. Inside the trunk are items of clothing, and an old journal written in the late 1800s. In the journal, they find the histories of both the Sterling family and the Bonner family. They learn how their two great uncles connected in a way that was forbidden in that period, how they survived, and how they faced a threat neither wanted. They also discover modern day remnants neither expected. More Sterling stories are planned. Look for releases in 2026.

Summary: Evil that lurks will never stay hidden for long… Genie had witnessed much over the tenuous centuries he’d roamed the earth. Blood, feast, famine, plagues. None of which affected him, yet by the same token, it had. If that made any sense… Lovers had come and gone just as master’s had, but never had his heart been involved. Until now. Why fate chose this point in his life to grant another access to it would remain a mystery. The Maharajah’s public execution of his parents, done as a warning to the commoners not to take money from his hand, left Raj to fend for himself at a young age. The meager loaf of bread his parents stole to feed their starving family was nowhere near the value of the lives he took that day. After that, Raj was shunned by the town. Never had he been so alone… Over the years, Raj never went without. Food, clothing, everything he required was always there, as if magicked. Cupboards once bare now filled to the brim. How could this be? Will Genie and Raj’s forbidden relationship survive the Maharajah’s greed, or will they meet the same fate as Raj’s parents had for defying his tyrannical rule? ***A portion of this story was in the Twisted Pride 2024 Anthology***
