Kindred Spirits is available for Pre-Order!

Kindred Spirits is now available for pre-order on Amazon! Elijah's story will drop into your Kindle in less than two weeks, on October 12th. 

Here's the US link  and the UK link.  Below is the blurb. I'm so excited to bring you this book! :)

Elijah Everett knows he should feel good about the progress he’s made over the last four years, ever since he ran away from a terrible situation at age sixteen. With the support of his loving, adopted family, he recently graduated from college and has a good job and an exciting new life waiting for him on Catalina Island. But his past has left him with little confidence and a list of fears a mile long, and Elijah wonders if he’ll ever fully heal. 

Cassidy Juric doesn’t talk about his past. He doesn’t talk about much at all, actually. And yet, Elijah thinks he recognizes a kindred spirit in the gorgeous young ranch hand. The two are undeniably drawn to each other, and a tentative relationship starts to develop. But when the devastating truth about Cassidy’s past is revealed, Elijah wonders if asking Cassidy to trust him might be asking the impossible.

Can two broken men learn to open their hearts and take a chance on love? Or will the ghosts of their past prevent them from building a future together?

Kindred Spirits bridges Alexa Land’s best-selling Firsts and Forever Series and its all-new spinoff, The Castaways Series. Long-time readers will recognize some familiar faces, along with a new setting and several new characters. This book can be read as a stand-alone.

Pre-Order Going Live This Weekend!

I'm on the final stretch of Kindred Spirits! Elijah's book begins the Castaways Series, which is a spin-off from my Firsts & Forever Series.

I'd been shooting for the end of September to publish this book, and I'm not too far off. Kindred Spirits will be available on Amazon October 12th. For the first time ever, I'll be offering a book on pre-order! That link will be going live sometime this weekend, and I'll post it here as soon as I have it.

The release date got pushed back a few days because I made a commitment to contribute a short story to a charity anthology (Heart2Heart volume 2). I was able to get that done this month as well as completing the first draft of Elijah's book, but it did take some time. Since 100% of the proceeds of that anthology will be going to LGBTQ charities, I felt it was important to be a part of that!

So, the short story is done, and Elijah's book is coming soon. Progress! Next week, I'll be participating in a blog hop as I get ready for GRL, so keep watching this page. :)

Cover Reveal!

The cover, title, and series name reveal of my upcoming book is up on Love Bytes Reviews. You can check it out here!

Checking In Once Again

Well, this summer has certainly flown by! Since my hometown has been plagued with smoke from several (not particularly close) forest fires, that's actually a relief. The cooler, smoke-free days of fall are going to be most welcome.

I've been making slow but steady progress on Elijah's book, and in the next week or so, I'll be doing the cover reveal, title reveal, and series name reveal. Barring any unforeseen catastrophes, I should be on track to release the book at the end of September.

I also recently completed a short story that will be part of a charity anthology, which should be released in November. More on that as it gets closer, but here's the list of authors who will be a part of that fun book for a great cause!

Checking In

It's hard to believe it's been a month since The Rest of Forever was released! Since then, my son finished 9th grade and I started working on my next book. It feels like June absolutely flew by!

I'm currently about 20K into Elijah's story, which will kick off the new, still-untitled spin-off series. This will be set at Seahorse Ranch, which was introduced in the last book.

If you happen to be on Pinterest, here's a link to my boards, including the one for the new series. It'll give you a feel for the characters, as well as the gorgeous setting of Catalina Island, off the coast of southern California.

Sometime in the late summer, I'll be doing a series name and cover reveal for Elijah's book. Between now and then, I'll be putting in a lot of hours in the writing cave! This will include participating in Camp NaNoWriMo during the month of July. If you're an author or aspiring writer, I encourage you to give National Novel Writing Month a try. The camp version is especially forgiving, since you get to set your own word count goals, and I've found it's a good motivator. The sense of community is nice, too!

Alright, I'm heading back to my work in progress. I hope your summer is off to a great start!

It's live!!!

The Rest of Forever just went live on Amazon, two days early! You can find it here. It's also up on Smashwords, and the paperback should go live sometime this upcoming week.

I'm so happy with the way this book came together, and I sincerely hope you enjoy Mike and Yoshi's story!
