Happy Release Day to Evan and Gavriil!

 It's very exciting to share my 2023 Holiday Release - Evan Versus the Sharlotka! This short, sweet, holiday mm romance is now available from JMS Books, LLC and Amazon. 

Every relationship has a defining moment. Will this be Evan’s?

Gentle giant Evan Carmichael dreams of making a grand, romantic gesture to win the heart of his office crush, precise programmer Gavriil Cottan. He wants the moment to be perfect, but how can it when Evan himself is a rumpled mess? With the office holiday potluck fast approaching, Evan decides to go all out and make Gavriil’s favorite dessert, an apple sharlotka just like Gavriil’s mother used to make.

The problem? Evan is a disaster in both life and the kitchen and time is running out. Can he learn to master the mysteries of the sharlotka and win Gavriil’s heart or will his dreams of a future with Gavriil go up in flames?

Happy Release Day to Me...

 … Happy Release Day to me! Happy Release Day, A Halloween Tail. Happy Release Day to me.

There were thoughts about sharing an mp3 of my singing, but nah, nobody needs that. What we do need is some love for my latest short story, released by JMS Books, LLC.

Good things come in strange packages.

Lionel Baker knows his life is heavy on the crazy. With an unused degree in IT, student loan debt his job as waiter barely covers, and a history of unfortunate dating choices, he pushes back with all the sass and snark he can muster. With the dreaded, family gathering season approaching, Halloween is the perfect time to find his next, new boyfriend before his dragon of an aunt decides to play matchmaker.

But when his older sister guilts him into taking his niece Trick-or-Treating rather than heading to the bar, and insists he wears her idea of a family-friendly costume, Lionel is sure he’s lost his window of opportunity. Then he meets Kyle. Kyle’s looking for his nephew who has run off in the crowd but finds Lionel instead. Does fate have a trick or a treat in store for them?

Release Day! Everything I Need

 Release days always make me smile!

It's release day for my short story, Everything I Need. Grab your copy from JMS Books, LLC or Amazon.

Frosting and fertility are Fiorillo family traditions. Joshua and Michael are trying to uphold at least one of the two.

When EMT Joshua Lawton left both his family and church behind, he never thought he’d live with anyone, much less get married. But here he is, facing carb-deprivation (because wedding photos are forever) and a cake tasting, all in the same month. He worries about his lack of family and relationship skills because family means everything to his fiancé. If Joshua can’t do better with Michael's traditions than he did with his own, will Michael come to his senses and call off the wedding?

Michael Fiorillo is the both the youngest and the only male out of ten siblings. He’s juggling all the expectations involved in a traditional Fiorillo family wedding and a fiancé who’d be just as happy if they ran off to Vegas.

When plans for their wedding cake are derailed by an unexpected religious objection, will the resulting fallout drive them apart or bring them even closer together?
