April Writing Update

Spring has sprung -- partially.  I'm really ready to bitch-slap Mother Nature at the moment.  It could also be that I'm missing the balmy weather down south.

But if you're looking for heat, look no farther than the stories right here.

March saw the release of Taking Kye, book 2 of the Alaxian Heirs, and Colt's story -- Plumbing His Depths, the third Three Bears tale.

   

Rode Hard will be coming April 8, 2015 -- the first of a new series, it will center around the cowboys working the Triple M Ranch.  I've never written cowboys before, but I couldn't ignore the call of those wildmen.  Hopefully I've done the ranch hands justice.  Most of the guys are just out for a good time, sharing bodies and loving sex -- but here and there some emotion creeps in and some of them find some happiness. This series will be a collection of various pairings -- Rode Hard is a MM with multiple MMMM scenes.  Others in the series will have the men enjoying all kinds of menage action.  Look for the cover reveal later this week -- it's gorgeous!

Mating Jasek - the third and final story in the Alaxian Heirs trilogy will come later in April.  This story will tie up all the loose ends and finally get our guys to planet Tyri to meet their true parents.  I can't go into much more detail after that -- you'll have to read it to find out!

Coming down the road will be a return of the dragons, a dip back into the Bound BDSM club, potentially a fourth story in the Three Bears storyline to let us see Jax and Golden's wedding (and the bachelor party beforehand!), and then I have another secret project in the works.

So, whether or not Mother Nature brings us any heat -- no worries, I'll make sure these stories are on fire!

NEW RELEASE: Plumbing His Depths

Plumbing His Depths is Colt's story.  If you've been reading the Three Bears stories, then you know who this is.  While the stories don't have to be read in order, I recommend the are.  The first is Golden and the Three Bears, then we have Linc's Little Piggy.

Plumber Ryan Fleming is working hard to get his fledgling business off the ground, harder still when his old boss starts spreading lies about Ryan’s skill and work ethic.  When a job offer comes from Colt of JLC Construction, Ryan can’t ignore the potential to grow his company, even if he has a few qualms about working with the man.

Colt Ferguson hasn’t exactly made it a secret that he wants Ryan.  He’s never come out and officially made a pass, but the vibe is there and Ryan senses it.  While he ignores the heated glances Colt sends his way, he can’t ignore the confusing feelings those glances cause.

Ryan is straight.  At least he’s fairly sure he is, but when he sees Colt, he’s not so sure about anything.  Working one on one with the man will test his desire and when they’re alone on the job, boundaries will be crossed.

If Ryan can overcome his fears, he might get more than he’s bargained for.

Like the predecessors, Plumbing His Depths is available exclusively on Amazon. KU users can download the tale for free!

NEW RELEASE: Taking Kye, Alaxian Heirs, 2

Escaping a violent world, Prince Kye of Goa seeks passage to the Alaxian planet of Goa against his “uncle’s” wishes. After years of abuse, he can no longer be the victim of Eurulian bullies who don’t want him there, even if it means sneaking from his home and hopping the next freighter off-world. He has no true home, especially after his best friend Tylien died ten years before, but any world has to be better than the one he’d suffered on.
When Tylien hears the prince has escaped, he rushes to find the male, knowing his mate is in danger. For Kye doesn’t know he’s a prince, or that he’s been in hiding all these years—nor does he know Tylien is alive and well, and ready to finally claim Kye as a mate. Tylien’s lack of control when it came to his mate forced him off-world in shame. Now he has to prove he’s worthy of his prince’s love and surrender.
But Kye is too infatuated by his newfound freedom to accept the shackles of matehood. He’ll fight it every step of the way, and force Tylien to take what’s his.

Excerpt:

“They were assigned to you because of me… because you are mine. The Emperor knew they would protect you because of me. They are just as much your family now as they were before.”

“Because I am yours.”

“Exactly.”

Kye’s head spun. “And if I don’t wish to be yours?”

Silence reined, but the tension mounted to an almost unbearable level.

“Regardless of what you wish… you belong to me.” Tylien’s voice shook with what sounded much like anger.

“You show up, back from the dead, claiming to be my long, lost mate, and I’m supposed to simply believe your tale and accept I am yours?”

“Do you not feel the connection? Tell me you don’t. Tell me you never felt it in all the years we knew one another, even before we were old enough to know what the ties were. Tell me your body doesn’t want me even now.”

Kye stared out the window, trying to find the words to deny Tylien, but he couldn’t. Tylien was right, about it all.

“Go ahead. Tell me!”

“I can’t,” Kye said, his voice low.

March Writing Update

March is almost here -- and hopefully will be bringing some warmer temps along with it.  I really picked the wrong year to move north!

But all that cabin fever has allowed me extra time to write.

February was busy.  Claiming Callum came out early in the month, the first of a new Sci-Fi series, The Alaxian Heirs.  My football series just concluded with the release of Receive, and then following quickly on it's heels, my short along with April Andrews for Bound By Him, just came out this week.  That's three releases in February!  I'm exhausted!

Things will be slowing down a bit this month and next as I work on a new project.  My typical every two week release may slow a bit to every three weeks in the near future... and then down to once per month.  I've got other projects on the board and need to devote some time there.

But the books will still come!

The next Alaxian Heirs book is up next.  Taking Kye will continue the story started in Claiming Callum.

After Kye's story, we'll return to my Twisted Fairy Tale and get Colt his happily ever... well, at least his happy for now.  I'm not exactly a believer in happily ever after.  It's not realistic and hey, we can all enjoy a HFN with a bright forecast.

Colt and his straight plumber will struggle a bit, but in the end, all will be fine.

Of course, I still have the final Barbarian story on the schedule, but Dayn is being a tricky bitch and just not telling me his tale.

Coming up is a secret project, another Alaxian Heir, and I am seriously considering more from the world of Bound.  I loved that story so much, I just can't see not taking it further.  The wheels are turning, trust me -- which is why some of you noticed the ? after The End.

New Release: Bound By Him by Kelex and April Andrews

That's right -- April and I have joined forces to bring you into the world of the member-only BDSM club, Bound.

April Andrews and Kelex join forces to bring you two scintillating short gay BDSM tales…

Straight Outta Bumfuck, by Kelex

Texan transplant Levi is desperate for a job, and walks into the door of Bound, a BDSM member-only club, when he sees the help wanted sign in the window—without realizing where he is. Once he learns the truth, he figures bartending is bartending, no matter where, as long as the money is green.

Only Bound’s owner, Alex, wants to ensure Levi knows what he’s in for. He introduces Levi to the world of submission and nearly loses himself in Levi’s naivety and raw lust.


Nicky’s Bear, by April Andrews

Jasper has always found the submissives he desires at Bound, but this time it is not a submissive he finds at all. Nicky the delivery driver is completely unschooled in the ways of BDSM, but he makes Jasper's heart thump and his head spin.

Jasper is going to teach Nicky all he knows, but before the night's through, it might be Jasper who learns a lesson in loving and Nicky the one who gives it to him.

Welcome to the world of Bound.

And don't forget -- Receive -- the final book in the Men's League Trilogy just dropped last week!  So, two weeks and two new releases -- don't miss any of the heat.

Quarterback Nash Carter has been at war, fighting to keep his space on The Rockets arena team. Using the only weapon he knows, his body, he gives himself over to the team owner, Bailey Thompson, in hopes of keeping his career alive. Too bad his wannabe replacement has done the same, pitting the two men against one another on and off the field—and Nash soon realizes he’s the loser.

Marcus Samuels is Bailey’s best friend and financial advisor. He wanted Nash before Bailey ever laid hands on the man, but had to crush his lust as he watched the two self-destruct. Once the smoke clears, he’s ready to take what he sees as his, and only Nash’s full surrender will do.

Cocky Nash has a reputation for self-destructing and pushing away anything good in his life. Can Marcus show Nash how deserving he is before it’s too late?  

Monday Mancraving

Monday is a tough day of the week -- especially those who were up late watching the late-late Oscars runover show.

So I figured I'd help make your Monday a little better.

You're welcome.

NEW RELEASE: Receive, Men's League 3

The final book in the trilogy is here and it's the hottest one yet!

Did you feel like Nash was being left out in the cold?  I sure did. Now he gets his chance at happiness with Marcus!  Did you see that one coming?

“I’ll get something for you to wear,” Marcus said, passing by Nash to get to his bedroom. The last thing he wanted was to hand Nash anything to cover up with, but Nash had seemed quite adamant that nothing would happen.

Marcus’ natural dominant tendencies were screaming in his head. There was a closet full of leather cuffs and harnesses, which would look better on Nash than anything in his drawer. He ignored them and dug through for an old pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Marcus was larger than Nash’s slim QB body, but the items would do temporarily. Before heading back out into the living room, he took a deep breath and tried to get ahold of himself. He needed to respect Nash’s comment about no sex. The guy was apparently dealing with something, and Marcus wasn’t going to overstep his bounds. He should want to overstep them.

He headed back into the living room and handed the clothing to Nash.

“Thanks,” Nash said before shoving one leg into a pants leg. “I appreciate the help.”

Marcus shrugged. “No problem.” He sat down on his leather couch and watched Nash dress, aggravated it was dressing in the wrong direction. Marcus wanted to watch the athlete strip, not cover up. “Mind telling me what just happened downstairs?”

Nash tied off the drawstring of the pants to help keep them from falling down his narrow hips. Marcus’ gaze drifted over the deep cuts at Nash’s hips, knowing they’d be a perfect spot to hold on to the man as he drove deep into Nash’s ass. He took a deep breath and glanced up at Marcus. “I was done being treated like shit.”

“What took you so long?” Marcus asked.

One of Nash’s eyebrows rose. “I had my reasons for doing what I did.”
