Fill the Empty Spaces
Everything was empty.
Not literally. My apartment was still filled with the remnants of my life with Austin. That was the problem.
The things were there. Austin wasn’t, and he never would be again.
Twenty years of love ended in an instant the night a drunk driver hit Del Nethercott’s partner Austin. In his grief, Del has pushed away most of his friends and is barely existing. Austin would want him to go on living, but how can he without the love of his life?
Over the next few months, Del finds his way into his new reality with the help of Austin’s drag sister Remy, a sweater-wearing cat named Charlie… and Lochlan, a man hiding a supernatural secret.
As Del works through his grief, he and Lochlan grow closer, until Del realizes he feels more than friendship for the other man. Only months after losing Austin, Del isn’t ready to love again. But maybe he’s ready to hope.
This book has a main character who has lost his life partner and depicts his grieving process. It includes discussions of child abuse and child death, suicide, and homophobia and transphobia. But it also includes an adorable cat who wears sweaters.
Available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback.

Hooch and Howls
In 1920, a werewolf attack changed Malachi Powers’s life forever. Now, a decade later, Malachi lives near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, as a lone wolf, avoiding humans and other werewolves alike.
Two young men, Roger and Jonathan, arrive on the beach below Malachi’s cottage with a boat full of illegal hooch. Captivated by his unexpected visitors, Malachi wants them to stay. But bringing the men into his life would mean letting them in on his secret—and endangering his heart.
Once again, Malachi’s life is changing. Forever.
This book includes a scene in which the main character spies, without consent, on two people having sex. It also contains references to past sexual assault and underage male prostitution.
Ulysses of QueeRomance Ink/Paranormal Romance Guild gives Hooch and Howls 4 stars and says, “The narrative style is awkward, but so tenderhearted as to make the reader embrace the narrator’s awkwardness.”

Ebb and Flow
The heart of the wolf yearns for his mate.
Only weeks after the massacre of half his pack, Quinn Boucher is finding his footing as a guard of the U.S. Anax, the ruler of all werewolves in the country. But something is missing: His mate Malachi. Despite whatever fate drew them together, Malachi won’t accept Quinn—and that hurts like hell.
Decades after losing his human lovers, lone wolf Malachi Powers still grieves. The last thing he needs is a mate, especially one over a century younger. But when Quinn returns to Nova Scotia to assist the Canadian Anax, they reconnect and Malachi can no longer deny their bond.
Together, Quinn and Malachi build their relationship. But there are those who want the Anax dead—and Quinn and Malachi are caught in the crossfire. Will they be torn apart before their life together can begin?
This book includes discussions of past sexual assault and depictions of grief and mourning. It also includes consensual commanding of a character and an adult character being called “boy.” This book is set in the Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat universe but is not a direct part of that series.
Linda Tonis of Paranormal Romance Guild gives Ebb and Flow 5 stars and says, “This was a beautiful story about loss and fighting for a new start. A young man turned and tortured and losing a loved one and half his pack. Quinn is not brave and is always apologizing for any misdeed he thinks he has made while Malachi tries to get him to see himself for what he is, a brave young man who has saved the life of both Anax he was assigned to protect.”
Camille of Joyfully Jay gives Ebb and Flow 4.5 stars and says, “If you’re a fan of fated mates (especially when said mates have a lot of emotional unpacking to do) or opposites attract, I highly recommend this book.”

Snow on Christmas Eve
For the first time in his life, Tag won’t be spending Christmas with his close-knit family. Rejected by them after he announced he was moving in with a man, Tag has had no contact with his parents or brothers. And his Christmas spirit has taken a major hit, much to the dismay of his partner Darion.
On Christmas Eve, a light snowstorm leads to Darion’s assertion that Christmas Eve snow is magical and wishes made in it will come true. Taken in by Darion’s childlike belief in magic, despite his own skepticism, Tag wishes he could have his family back.
But magic doesn’t exist, and wishes don’t come true… or do they?
