There’s This Guy by Rhys Ford,
How do you save a drowning man when that drowning man is you?

Jake Moore’s world fits too tightly around him. Every penny he makes as a welder goes to care for his dying father, an abusive, controlling man who’s the only family Jake has left. Because of a promise to his dead mother, Jake resists his desire for other men, but it leaves him consumed by darkness.

It takes all of Dallas Yates’s imagination to see the possibilities in the fatigued Art Deco building on the WeHo’s outskirts, but what seals the deal is a shy smile from the handsome metal worker across the street. Their friendship deepens while Dallas peels back the hardened layers strangling Jake’s soul. It’s easy to love the artistic, sweet man hidden behind Jake’s shattered exterior, but Dallas knows Jake needs to first learn to love himself.

When Jake’s world crumbles, he reaches for Dallas, the man he’s learned to lean on. It’s only a matter of time before he’s left to drift in a life he never wanted to lead and while he wants more, Jake’s past haunts him, making him doubt he’s worth the love Dallas is so desperate to give him.

Announcing the There’s This Guy Blog Tour! Starting March 14th!

On By Rhys FordIn Bloggy Stuff, Good News, Guest Blog

Tour! A tour! As some of you know, I’ve got a book out on March 17th called There’s This Guy which is my take on a romantic contemporary. I wanted to write a book about Jake, a man who finds his balance and joy in life by discovering he is worthy of being loved and Dallas, the man who falls in love with him. The book is about digging through the darkness inside of you and finding the vibrancy buried within your soul.

So for this tour, I’m giving each blog two or three black and white mandala illustrations to colour in anyway you as the reader would like…and a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the e-tailer of your choice (hopefully for crayons or books :D).

But there’s a $50 gift certificate bonus prize! Three easy steps:

Link to Audiobook on Audible. Probably take a bit for others but it’ll come along.

Morning!

On By Rhys FordIn Bloggy Stuff, Good News

Not much is going on. It’s a bit nippy here in SoCal… yes, I know… it’s colder elsewhere but nippy here means going from mid-thirties in the dead of the morning to high-60s in a few hours. It’s like you’ve got to dress for the beach under a heavy coat.

Nothing much is going on. Just writing. And well writing.

If you’re in or near Lexington, Kentucky, please join Mary Calmes and I for coffee on the 29th. We’ve got a few people coming already but the more the merrier.
