Isaac gathered the cards at the center of the table. “So, you and me, and Karlsson and Sidorov—Sido?” I’d never seen Elias roll his eyes quite so hard. “It’s Elias, or Karly.” Isaac’s sheepish grin was lovely. “Okay.” Nikki leveled another glare at me before shifting his attention to Isaac. “You can call me Nisha here.” He gestured to the four of us. So, one thing about hockey is that…
My mornings now consist of an 18.5 pound cat chasing a 15.5 pound cat through the house.
Get a Maine Coon, they said. It'll be fun, they said!
So, yes, hockey. Also writing.
This spring, @gallagherwitt and I put out a hockey romance. It's basically a 150,000-word high heat m/m original fic between a rookie forward not quite sure of himself and a veteran defenseman who buries his trauma with meaningless hookups. It's an exploration of them dating, building a relationship, and dealing with said trauma.
Big CW for past abuse and sexual assault. All other content notes are in the preview.
I’m reactivating this, since: 1) Twitter may go poof 2) I got into hockey so I should start following hockey tumblrs for all my hockey needs. And I have many hockey needs. I’m still writing, yeah.
New Book Coming Soon: Rookie Mistake
So, I unexpectedly co-authored a book with L.A. Witt at the end of last year/beginning of this year. Wasn’t planned at all. She moved it Pittsburgh recently, and we started going to hockey games together. She got an idea, I got an idea, we mashed them together, and Rookie Mistake came about. It was not the book we expected to write when we started, but Isaac and Julien had their own plans.…
Re-release of the Takeover Series
The entire Takeover series has been re-released, with beautiful new covers by Cate Ashwood, and a very light edit. If you already own these ebooks, there’s no need to buy them again. The first book, Takeover, also contains the short story A Private Merger, which can also be found here. Currently, the ebooks are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, so they’re only available at Amazon. I’ll take them…
Update on the Takeover Series
A quick note to state that the Takeover series is temporarily unavailable as ebooks. I received my rights back and will be republishing ebooks of these titles, as well as publishing paperback versions (for the first time ever in English). Audiobook versions and translations are unaffected. It’s taking a little bit to reformat the books, but I’ll have them up as soon as I can. I also intend to…
Coming Soon: Cinnamon Roll and the Bold Brew Series
The news is out! I’m part of a multi-author kinky m/m series called Bold Brew, which is set around the Bold Brew coffeeshop, in a small fictional town in western Pennsylvania. Each book in the series intersects in some way with this LGBTQ+ inclusive coffeehouse that serves as a gathering spot for the community and is especially kink-friendly. For more information about the series as a whole and…
There’s just a few more weeks until Reverb releases! And today, I have a little sneak peek!

So www.26shirts.com contacted me this morning and wanted to know if my daughter would be interested in selling her design on their T-shirts. After much internal screaming, we accepted, signed the contract, and the preorder link went live. Proceeds go to Pittsburgh Food Bank, so you can get this adorable derpy penguin and know you’re helping out others. Win/win!
From the organizer: “we use Next Level for the unisex and youth, Anvil for the ladies, and Jerzees for the hoodies. These will be screen printed. High quality garments with ink that will last. These will be the same quality you’d buy from a team store.”
This will be available until February 3. A reblog of this would be greatly appreciated to help spread the word!
As I walked to work today after voting, I ended up thinking about the singular they, since I was thinking about how the outcome of this US election will impact me as a non-binary person.
This is how my brain works sometimes. Tangents. I use they/them pronouns most of the time. The thing with the singular they is that there are folks who say its incorrect. That it’s two hard. That they don’t know…
Classic and modern at the same time. First details from my new @dalvey Hunter pocket watch in blue mother of pearl. Just the one piece of accessory I needed to complete my three piece suit look. Full outfit tomorrow.

I haven’t done a post on books I’ve read and loved in a while. Last one was… wow. Almost a year ago!
So let’s dive in, shall we?
Romantic Suspense
I’ve read a lot of romantic suspense lately. I completely blame Layla Reyne for hooking me on that subgenre!
I really enjoyed the Bad Behaviorseries by Cari Z and LA Witt. The third book GUTTED ME in places, but the fourth book was a lovely epilogue…

I mentioned a bit ago that I received back the rights for my short story CTRL Me from Riptide publishing. It had been in the anthology Rules to Live By.
I gave the book a quick edit and updated a few things (like the Consol Energy center is not called that anymore…), added some more explicit consent, and took out some gender binary language, and released it on Amazon.
It also has a lovely cover by
