dirty_bites_coverNow I was going to keep this under wraps for a little while longer but since there was a bit of a URL leak this morning, I want to tell you guys what’s going on. Well, actually, I want to announce an anthology and audiobook album that will be out in a little bit. We’re just shaking down the last of the files but this is a holiday gift from me, Greg Tremblay and Dreamspinner Press.
 
It’s called Dirty Bites and is an ebook and audiobook collection of the free short stories I’ve written for the Cole McGinnis series as well as an exclusive short called Dirty Love written expressly for this release.
 
This will be FREE for download at Dreamspinner Press. I will share the URLs as soon as the content goes live.
 
Happy Holidays and we hope you enjoy Dirty Bites.
 
Dirty Bites by Rhys Ford
 Audiobook Narrated by Greg Tremblay.
Hosted by Dreamspinner Press.
 
Danger. Desire. Loss. Love.
 
In every story, there are a thousand more bound up and waiting to be told; here are just a few from the Cole McGinnis Mysteries.
 
As a heartfelt thank you to the readers who fell in love with Cole McGinnis, Kim Jae-Min and the rest of the cast, Rhys Ford takes us on an adventure in this collection of stories and vignettes. In this ebook and audiobook set, Jae shares his heart as he learns to see, to love, and to accept Cole and the way life changes, sisters of the heart look on the boys they love, and key players in Cole’s life are interviewed about the man who brings mayhem and love into their world. This collection features special notes from Rhys Ford as well as Greg Tremblay, the narrator of the series, previously shared stories from blog tours, holiday posts, and spotlights an all-new story written exclusively for the celebratory collection.
So, sit back and enjoy a taste of Cole, Jae and everyone else in Dirty Bites, a Cole McGinnis Special Collection.

(Half Moon Bay: Book Two)

Angel Daniels grew up hard, one step ahead of the law and always looking over his shoulder. A grifter’s son, he’d learned every con and trick in the book but ached for a normal life. Once out on his own, Angel returns to Half Moon Bay where he once found… and then lost… love.

Now, Angel’s life is a frantic mess of schedules and chaos. Between running his bakery and raising his troubled eleven-year-old half brother, Roman, Angel has a hectic but happy life. Then West Harris returns to Half Moon Bay and threatens to break Angel all over again by taking away the only home he and Rome ever had.

When they were young, Angel taught West how to love and laugh, but when Angel moved on, West locked his heart up and threw away the key. Older and hardened, West returns to Half Moon Bay and finds himself face-to-face with the man he’d lost. Now West is torn between killing Angel or holding him tight.

But rekindling their passionate relationship is jeopardized as someone wants one or both of them dead, and as the terrifying danger mounts, neither man knows if the menace will bring them together or forever tear them apart.

Ah… Home.

On By Rhys FordIn Bloggy Stuff4 Comments

I am back home and trying to catch up on everything I’ve let slide a bit. And well some things that I’ve been working on since forever it seems.

1. Hanging the Stars Blog Posts
I’m doing a seven stop blog tour. A short one because I’m kind of to the wall with a deadline…more on that later. But it will be a Christmas thingie with Deacon, Lang, Zig, West and a few other people from the Half Moon Bay series. Maybe a cat will make an appearance. BUT there is unique content on each blog stop so please stop by each to read. There’s also gift certificates to give away. On each stop. Have to enter to win. So stop by and enter as well. Because gift certificates can also go to someone else’s holiday present or… you can save them up to get that gold-plated snorklewhacker you’ve always wanted.

2. Dim Sum Asylum
The project I’m hammering at. This one is oddly harder to work on because I’m having to disassemble what I’ve written and fill in the blanks I’m creating. It’s an odd exercise in brainwork. I don’t recommend writing this way. But then some people do. I’m more linear. Point A to Chalk Line.

3. There’s This Guy
I’ve talked a bit about this contemporary I’ve written. Contemporary has to be used loosely here. I’ve gotten this feedback…

  • This is the sweetest thing you’ve ever written.
  • It’s sweet for…you.
  • Really? A dead body? You just had to.

Take that as you will. The blurb is final and I’ll probably drop the information on this shortly. Mostly figuring out when and where I’m going on the next couple of weeks. It’s been insane.

4. I still haven’t seen Dr. Strange but I HAVE seen Fantastic Beasts. I am not a Potterhead but I know quite a few and support their fandom. I’m not so sure about my Benedict Cumberbatch name though.

Saying goodbye to the UK and heading back to California. I’ll have to get back into the groove of my day. And well, I miss drive thru Starbucks. Much love to Three of the Five for hosting me and kisses to Steve who graciously carted us everywhere.

HallePepper of course was as awesome as ever.
