No, not the plant… and can I tell you, those are a bitch and a half to try to get out. The root system is invasive.

These are the birds. And man, they are gorgeous. The “vantablack” one is incredible.

Seriously. Where the heck did the time go? I blinked and all of a sudden, I’m sitting on the edge of 2018 and waiting for a new book to come out.

Insane.

If I don’t speak you all again in the next couple of days, please take with you my best wishes for a fantastic holiday season… no matter what you celebrate. Gus Gus the Cairn Terrorist is right now thankful none of the cats are in the living room and the mail deliveries seem to have stopped. Delivery people are evil. Deliver Gus from Evil today is the motto.

Much love to all of you and… hey, 415 Ink: Rebel is out in SIX days.

Rebel: 415 Ink, Book One
The hardest thing a rebel can do isn’t standing up for something — it’s standing up for himself.

Life takes delight in stabbing Gus Scott in the back when he least expects it. After years of running from his past, present and the dismal future every social worker predicted for him, Karma delivers the one thing Gus could never—would never—turn his back on; a son from a one-night stand he’d had after a devastating break-up three years ago.

Returning to San Francisco and to 415 Ink, his family’s tattoo shop, gave him the perfect shelter to battle his personal demons and get himself together… until the firefighter who’d broken him walked back into Gus’s life.

For Rey Montenegro, tattoo artist Gus Scott was an elusive brass ring, a glittering prize he hadn’t the strength or flexibility to hold onto. Severing his relationship with the mercurial tattoo artist hurt but Gus hadn’t wanted the kind of domestic life Rey craved, leaving Rey with an aching chasm in his soul.

When Gus’s life and world starts to unravel, Rey helps him pick up the pieces, and Gus wonders if that forever Rey wants is more than just a dream.

I am honoured to be nominated in the following categories on Goodreads M/M Romance Group and am delighted you are finding enjoyment in the books. Seriously, you all rock and I am beyond grateful for your support.

I don’t know when final voting is (soon) but honestly, I am just delighted to be thought of in nominations. If you can vote, go vote. If you’re not a part of the group, it’s highly entertaining and they have a lot of fun. It’s also a good place to talk about books.

First off, to everyone’s who has asked, the fires are pretty far away from me and I’m safe…

However, one of the main problems SoCal wild fires bring is poor air quality (well and destruction but the air right now is a key point) because combined with the ash / soot in the region, it’s also bone dry and man, it does a number on everyone’s sinuses, mine included. Sudafed and I are friends.

Quick update because well, I need coffee…. I’m hammering away at blog posts for 415 Ink: Rebel’s release on December 29 and then I’m going to be working in some edits for the two books I’ve got in rotation… one of which is Sin and Tonic, the last Sinners book. THEN it is off to plotting 415 Ink: Savior. Oh and writing it. Very busy. All the words.

Hope you guys are doing well. And most of all, are taking some time for yourselves. 😀

I’d try the mild but man, I know my limits. 😀

Seriously…. cannot wait to see this.

You’ve seen the shirts!

You’re waiting fo the book!
(hopefully because man, Gus and Rey fall in love again…)

NOW own your own piece of the 415 Ink shop!

Gus’s tattoo shirt is now live and the other brothers’ tats will be added as the series goes along BUT each brother has his own “title” shirt if you don’t want to wait.

If you grab one, share on social media and tag me! I’d love to see it.
