Actually I think the title kind of says it all. My brains are gone. I’m writing blog posts for the Hanging The Stars blog tour and I’m in England. I also forgot to put a hoodie on when I went to the guest laundry which is by the barn at the Cottages. It’s a bit cold and wet.

So…. yeah. Way too early for an ice bath.

I’ve got all of the Neko pix I believe. I’ll be sorting through the 40 or so entries I got and select one for most creative. Which is gonna be kind of hard. I might have the Five do it. Because that way it’s impartial.

Time for coffee and more blog posts.

Don’t forget Hanging The Stars (Half Moon Bay #2)  is now up for pre-order on Dreamspinner, Amazon, and ARe .

Available for download on Dreamspinner at midnight EST on Dec 5 so you pretty much get it a bit earlier from DSP. Available for download at Dec 5 midnight your time on all third party vendors.

Hanging The Stars
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.

Wanna see West Harris get what’s coming to him? The second Half Moon Bay, Hanging the Stars, is now up for pre-order. Release date is December 5th! Preorder Link Here

I have a special love for Chicago. Weird huh? Makes no sense. I’m from Hawai‘i but there’s always been something about that city that, despite the fuckery of its underground roads with their demon summoning portal-exit ramps, I adore. Could have started with the Blues Brothers or just simply the blues itself. It’s an honest city with a bit of a sense of humour and a love of good food.

I love Chicago enough to make it the hometown of Cole McGinnis, the lead character in the Dirty Series. So if you want to take a moment to imagine what Jae’s going through right now in the McGinnis-Kim household, by all means, please do so.

So congrats to the Cubs and after such a long damned fight to get that win, Chicago really deserves a day off. Maybe even two. Or at least all the aspirin.

I’m heading to the UK in a changed world. A century-plus losing streak has ended but I am still on the road. Well on a plane, then on the road. I’ll be posting updates and probably pictures of food. We’re going to a few fairs or such but mostly it will be writing, Penn, Lea and Tamm who are beloved sisters from other mothers and a little bit of a cairn named Halle. Oh and a long-suffering Englishman named Steve who carts us around and shows us the best of pubs to eat at.

One last bit… don’t forget to vote. And eat your veggies.

Go Cubs Go! But most of all, congratulations. Now go get some sleep.
