We have a cover!!! I was about to say that’s the first time this year I’ve written those words here, but then I realized The Magic of Shoes was released this year. Funny, feels like ages ago.
Anyway, remember last year’s Advent Calendar over at JMS Books? My contribution then was Frostbite. I had so much fun writing it that I decided it needed a sequel. I wasn’t ready to let go of Noel and his trusty companion, Fluffers the fish LOL.
This year’s contribution is called Cold Room, and Noel is in a spot of trouble. Again. If anything, this story will teach you to stay away from Christmas parties. They’re never a good idea.
Cold Room will be free on December 18, so mark the date! There won’t be any preorder links or anything like that. It’ll be free in the JMS shop on the 18th, and then on the 19th, it’ll be available in the shops. If you miss the free day, you’ve missed it.

Cold Room
Kidnapping isn’t as exciting as it’s made out to be—especially not when your unhinged ex is doing the kidnapping.
All Noel Chance wanted was to leave the boring Christmas party he was attending and go home to pet his Siamese fighting fish, Fluffers, and cuddle up in bed with his overprotective boyfriend, Detective Bo Nicholas. Waking up tied to a chair in a cold room was never part of the plan.
What does his ex want? For them to stage a rescue and for Noel to turn him into a hero via Noel’s true crime podcast. Noel doesn’t see another way out, so he plays along while plotting his escape.
Luck is on Noel’s side, and he manages to escape, only to realize he’s in the middle of nowhere, running on his socks in the snow, and his ex has not only stolen his shoes but also the key to his apartment. Fluffers is in danger, Noel can feel it in his too-cold bones. Will he make it back into town in time to save his fish?
