Something Like Lightning is now out!

October 9th, 2014 | Books, Something Like Lightning, Storms Series

Book Five of the Something Like… saga is here! Or should we say Book One of the Storms series? Although really, this new release is Book Two of a story that has already begun. Ugh. Give me a moment to collect my thoughts and I’ll try to explain. Okay. I think we can all agree...

Zippity-zap! Lightning’s cover art revealed!

September 21st, 2014 | Books, Something Like Lightning, Storms Series

I love this stage of a book release. Everything still feels so innocent and unexplored. You guys are excited to read the new story. I’m excited to get it out there. I can show off the art and strut around all proud of my husband instead of the humbler approach I take with the text...

Something Like Lightning release date and preorder

September 4th, 2014 | Books, Something Like Lightning, Storms Series

[caption id="attachment_3720" align="alignleft" width="155"] Placeholder image is *not* an early draft of the cover art.[/caption] I have a date! And no, I don’t mean a date with a hunky Swedish guy who takes me out on his fishing boat so he can take me on his fishing boat. Instead I have a date for Something...

Autumn on Audio, Summer in French and German

August 17th, 2014 | Books, Gay, Seasons Series, Something Like Autumn

Tongues and ears. That’s the news of the day. The tongue part is pretty exciting, because Something Like Summer can now be read in German and French, in addition to the English and Italian versions already out there. I’ve set up a new page on my site right here where you can see the different...

In the Meantime… Recommended Reads

August 14th, 2014 | Books, Gay

My next book isn’t out! But you know what is? All sorts of exciting stories featuring characters you’re bound to fall in love with and plots that will drive you bonkers in the best way possible. Confession time: I don’t read a lot in the gay romance genre. It’s not that I don’t love it,...

YouTube crush! New audio book available.

July 2nd, 2014 | Books, Gay, Random

Like and Subscribe is now available as an audio book. Or perhaps "audio short story" is more apt, since this a quick and easy tale about a guy who has a crush on a hot YouTuber. They say you should never meet your heroes, but our main character does and his life is better because...

Something Like Thunder and Lightning

June 4th, 2014 | Books, Something Like Lightning, Something Like Thunder, Storms Series

Thunder and Lightning are the next two entries in the Something Like… saga. What do you think? Feels a little strange moving on from the seasons theme, eh? It does to me, although when originally trying to find the right title for Something Like Summer, the word thunder kept popping up. I've always felt it’s...

Something Like Winter audio book

May 8th, 2014 | Books, Something Like Winter

While at a concert last night, it struck me just how gripping music can be. All the trappings of storytelling are there in the lyrics, but there’s another element too, an extra edge. A book has to talk you into feeling emotional, but audio can instantly transport you to anywhere in the emotional spectrum. What...

Ben and Jace return to Italy

April 9th, 2014 | Books, Something Like Summer

Something Like Summer is now available in Italian! How appropriate, since our favorite flight attendant was nearly fluent in this language. Italy is also the first international trip Jace takes Ben on. That’s no coincidence, since Rome just happens to be one of my favorite places in the world. Some years back, my parents invited...

Can you smell the freshly-bloomed flowers? Feel the sun warming your cheeks? Well you should, because Something Like Spring has arrived! I could give you guys a big sales pitch, but really, if you’re here and have read the other three books, hopefully you don’t need any convincing. Those that do can check out the...
