Red Letter Day

One rainy day, Chris takes a spur of the moment trip to the city zoo, because even walking around in the rain looking at damp animals is better than going back to the office. The animals are cute, especially Lucky, the red panda. But Lucky’s keeper Joel is even cuter and accepts Chris’s invitation to go for a drink that evening. This impulsive trip to the zoo was a good idea, but Chris still has to go back to work tomorrow.

One date leads to more. On their dates, Chris loves to hear Joel’s stories of crazy zookeeping and animal misadventures, and can’t help contrasting Joel’s job with his own. The one that’s slowly driving him around the bend with the mundane pettiness of it all. When Joel has an opportunity that will take him to the other side of the world, can Chris find the courage to leave his BS job behind and take a new path?

Mid Year Reading Review

Image
It's been a good reading year so far. I've finished 40 books, which according to The Storygraph is 9,606 pages read and 203 hours listened. Hours listened might be slightly off, as I have done a couple on 1.1 or 1.2 speed. (Oh god, I'm turning into one of those people. I'll keep nudging it up and then be on 2x speed before you know it!) I've now completed my read of the Iain M. Banks' Culture series, which I began last year. Loved pretty much every one of those. One was a bit of a slog in the middle, but it picked up by the end. I've also started and finished a read of the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons. I have in fact been totally derailed this year by the Hyperion Cantos (a series of four books, structured as 2 duologies.)

The dragons have returned! Well the first one anyway. The first book of the Red Dragon series, an M/M space opera series, following Alyn Evans and Jarvez Kashari is out again now. Watch this space for the rest of the series to follow soon. Red Dragon 1: The Company Man The Red Dragon is a ship in trouble.

He’s determined to make a name as the company’s best trader and thinks reviving the fortunes of the Red Dragon is the perfect opportunit...

Coming Soon - Chasing Ghosts and the Backlist Bonanza is over!

Image
 My next release comes out next weekend! It's another story in the same series as Palace Ghosts and Memory's Ghosts. If you read Memory's Ghosts you already met Captain Petra Hawkins, and this book is hers.  Chasing Ghosts Bad choices by overconfident maverick, Dani Novak, left a fellow marine dead and Dani cooling her heels in jail for five years. Now she’s out, with few prospects and fewer friends. Dani’s ex-commanding officer, Petra Hawkins, leader of the military contractor the Hawkins Free Company, offers Dani a job on her ship, the Persephone, after a chance meeting on the Red Palace space station. Petra still believes Dani has the potential to regain some of what she lost, still believes she let Dani down before, and now believes she has a duty to help her. As the lowest ranking crewperson on the Persephone, with her history of a court-martial and jail, Dani faces distrust and suspicion from the company’s squad of marines and the ship’s officers. But after seeing the...
