Coffee, Cats and Murder

I have hit New Mexico after many days of driving. The knee had to be babied all the way over so it was short spurts across the desert and then staying at hotels. We finally made it. Checked in and had food. Then collapsed for a bit. Hooked up with Hawk and Beth for dinner… and chatting. Then more chatting then collapsing again.
We are gearing up for GRL and I’ll be posting photos and all of that in the coming week! Watch this space!
Come find me and take some swag home! Really, I don’t wanna bring it back. The cat’s gonna divorce me because it’s taken over the guest room. He wants his space back! *grins* Hope to see you there!
Actually today’s been a pretty lazy morning except for coffee and writing. It rained a bit which is always welcome in San Diego because dudes, we need rain.
Tammy’s here from Belfast. I have to take her someplace other than the living room but circumstances have led us to be housebound for a bit. But today might be a drive or something outside. It depends on how I feel and well, how many words I get going today.
GRL is on the horizon and I’ve got a bit of swag left to pull together but we can do that quickly. Maybe tonight. 😀 Or at least get a start on things. I have promised to try to get the buttons into the cafepress shop so… that’s a thing that needs to happen 😀
I have plastic food ramen bowls with tags on it for Ramen Assassin that need to be assembled and that’ll be something good to do while I’m watching Drag Queen or we might watch the Boys or Derry Girls. Depends on how much brain we have. We also have a SHIT TON of ice cream that needs to be eaten.
So that’s where I’m at. Going to drop into a call with the Five and then… back to Kai!
I know… it’s a strange topic but I prefer brownies that are very crispy. I also like cookies that way. No idea why. It’s just how it is.
I’m five days out from Hellion’s release and things are settling down with regards to all of that but that also means it is time to ramp up writing. Since TA Moore arrives here on Tuesday Night, I need to get into the habit of writing at least a little bit every day so we both can get our books finished.
I think that’s the worst part of being a writer… gotta sit down and get this done.
We also need to organize our swag for GRL and well, I’ve ordered all of the gluten free donuts in San Diego for Tammy. Because one needs donuts.
I’ll also plan on feeding her a lot of Mexican food.
I’m working on Kai… and well after that will probably be Luke because his story is burning in the back of my head. Kai’s a rough one this time but that’s on me. Not on the plot or the characters. I’d been dictating but sometimes the story itself needs just loud music and a keyboard. The new TOOL album has been great and well, there’s always Metallica to keep me going.
So that’s what’s on my plate this week. I hope you all are doing well. Oh… and there’s so much planned for 2020. Can’t wait to get the clearance to share!

Hellion by Rhys Ford
From the moment SFPD Detective Ruan Nicholls meets Ivo Rogers, he knows the tattoo artist is going to bring chaos to his neat, orderly life. A hellion down to the bone, Ivo is someone Ruan not only doesn’t understand, he’s not even sure he needs to. Everything about Ivo is vibrant, brash, cocky, and arrogant, and Ruan wants no part of him.
Or at least that’s the lie he tells himself when he damps down his desire for the social wild child life tosses into his path.
For Ivo Rogers, life revolves around two things—his family and 415 Ink, the tattoo shop he co-owns with his four brothers. His family might be stitched together by their battle scars from growing up in foster care, but their brotherhood is tight—and strong enough to hold Ivo together during the times when he falls apart.
Now Ivo faces a new challenge when he falls for a cop with an old-school mentality on how a man looks and acts. Ruan is the promise of a life Ivo thought he’d never have, but their clashing perspectives threaten any chance of a relationship. Being the family’s hellion makes it easy to be misunderstood, yet Ivo has faith Ruan will not only embrace who he is but love him as well.
