Three (or Four, depending on how one counts) Cool Things to share today, and a lot of excitement!

First, a free book! JMS Books is doing a free ebook per day Advent Calendar this month, and mine’s today – and it’s Seaworthy (Character Bleed book 1)!

Actors filming a Napoleonic Wars drama & falling in love! Terrible bread puns! A Good Sex Awards runner-up for Sexiest Consent! Come grab it now!

Next, I’m over on Ofelia Grand’s blog today, chatting about my new short story release! “December with Peppermint” is a short fluffy holiday follow-up to “October by Candlelight,” and it’s all about handmade decorations, terrible puns about mint, and definitely no one making a holiday-themed sex tape, no matter what Finn’s agent suggests! Come read about it – and the Colby from Character Bleed cameo! – over here at Ofelia’s!

“December with Peppermint” is a 5k short, a holiday follow-up for Finn and Wes from “October by Candlelight,” my autumn-themed moving-in-together story—here, they’re getting ready for their first Christmas in their home together! Which comes with families wanting to visit, and Finn wanting to decorate everything in sight, and Wes needing to grade papers…and, on top of that, Finn’s agent worrying that he’s not visible enough, not memorable enough, not someone casting directors think of, these days…in need of something drastic, perhaps, to get people talking. (The sex tape suggestion isn’t entirely serious. Though…if Finn and Finn’s boyfriend might be willing to go along with it…) (Wes: “Not in this or any other universe, as much as I love you.”)

And look at the adorable cover! You can get it at Amazon here, or at JMS Books here, or all the places you like to buy books!

And…finally…the big news!

So… Frost & Raine, my little paranormal m/m romance novella about a Cupid & his Frost spirit, just won the 2020-2021 Rainbow Award for Bisexual Fantasy & Paranormal Romance – and was a Runner-Up in overall Best Bisexual Book!

The other two I submitted – Seaworthy (Character Bleed book one) & Cadence and the Pearl – also received Honorable Mentions! And I pretty much haven’t stopped smiling about it since yesterday! So many fabulous authors – it’s such an honor, and such a good cause, with over $10k raised for various charities! And now I suppose I should properly get back to work on the Frost & Raine spin-off, which is Luke’s story, and his own magical happy ending…
