Cover Reveal | Turning Wood

turning woodGuess what I have… This is the cover of Turning Wood a short little Christmas story that will be released on the 14th of December.

Have you read my Nortown stories? This isn’t a Nortown story, but some things mentioned in the Nortown stories are present here as well. I thought I’d be fun to write something similar to Nortown and the more I wrote the more I slipped into that familiar world. I have yet to decide if I should make a series or not, for now, it’s just this one story.

Pretty cover, isn’t it? I’m in love at least LOL.

For Otho Newcomer, the small village of Snowmelt is a haven from his old life. If he’s not exactly a changed man, he at least hopes to keep his distance from all those easy romances, and the inevitable heartache and disappointment that have always followed.

Mason Dager is an idiot. His ex has cleared out his bank account, sold his car and gotten him thrown out of his apartment. And he has no one to blame but himself. But what better way to celebrate a new chapter in his life—one that includes homelessness and the humiliation of telling his family they were right all along—than to spend Christmas at a swanky winter resort like River Cove? It’s already paid for after all.

When a very drunk Mason makes yet another dumb decision, Otho comes to the rescue, throwing the two men together during the most magical time of the year.

What should be the wrong choice for both of them, might be exactly what they need. They’ll just have to survive a nosy best friend, an asshole of an ex, and the scars of their pasts.

The Gravedigger’s Brawl

~ Ofelia Gränd ~ Leave a comment

I’ve always liked Abigail Roux’s books, some more than others of course, and I always intend to read her books when they come out and then I never do, not when they’re shiny and new LOL.

The Gravedigger’s Brawl has been on my to-read list for years, many years. Why didn’t anyone tell me it was this awesome?! I fell head over heels for Ash and I never wanted to let him go.

This book had me at the edge of my seat, and I’m not easily spooked (unless you have character sneaking around in the dark in big creaky houses, that has my heart trying to escape my ribcage). Here I was thinking ‘now it’s gonna happen, now it’s gonna happen, now it’s gonna happen’ and it didn’t. Then we went on to the next scene and I was back to telling myself it (whatever it was gonna be) was going to happen.

I loved the characters, loved the atmosphere, the details, and the ghost stories. This story can be read at any time of year, but since it takes place in October and is creepy as f*ck, I’d say it’s a perfect Halloween read *shivers*

The Gravedigger's BrawlWhen the past comes back to haunt you, order a double.

Dr. Wyatt Case is never happier than when he’s walking the halls of his history museum. Playing wingman for his best friend at Gravedigger’s Tavern throws him way out of his comfort zone, but not as much as the eccentric man behind the bar, Ash Lucroix.

Ash is everything Wyatt doesn’t understand: exuberant, quirky, and elbow deep in a Gaslight lifestyle that weaves history into everyday life. He coordinates his suspenders with his tongue rings. Within hours, Wyatt and Ash are hooked.

But strange things are afoot at Gravedigger’s, and after a knock to the head, Ash starts seeing things that can’t be explained by old appliances or faulty wiring. Soon everyone at Gravedigger’s is wondering if they’re seeing ghosts, or just going crazy. The answer to that question could end more than just Wyatt and Ash’s fragile relationship—it might also end their lives.

Winter – The Haunted Heart

~ Ofelia Gränd ~ 1 Comment

For years my reader friends have been raving about Josh Lanyon, read every book she’s released and so on, and I’ve never understood the frenzy. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed the Lanyon books I’ve read, but they haven’t turned into a squealing fangirl. I’ve picked up a few books here and there, done a few buddy reads, and her writing is good, the mysteries entertaining, but when I’ve closed the book I’ve forgotten about it.

But I get it now... Winter is freaking fabulous! I loved this story so much.

Here we have a creepy old house, a main character who is so lost in his grief he is beginning to fade from the world, and a haunted mirror. The story might not be filled with surprises but damn it sent shivers down my spine LOL.

I’m so glad this is the first book in a series because I want more of Flynn and Kirk…and I want to know more about all the stuff hidden away in the basement…and Kirk, of course. There is definitely something tragic in Kirk’s past. Plus any story mentioning shrunken heads is awesome, it’s just the way it is.

If you haven’t read this is looking for something to get you in the mood for Halloween, pick this up!  You won’t be disappointed.

The Haunted Heart Winter First in a NEW series!
Still grieving over the sudden death of his lover, antiques dealer Flynn Ambrose moves to the ramshackle old house on Pitch Pine Lane to catalog and sell the large inventory of arcane and oddball items that once filled his late uncle’s mysterious museum.

But not all the items are that easy to catalog. Or get rid of…

The Haunted Heart series. Four seasons. Four ghosts. Two hearts.

Winter.

Since Alan died, Flynn isn’t eating, isn’t sleeping, and isn’t spending a lot of time looking in mirrors. But maybe he should pay a little more attention. Because something in that 18th Century mirror is looking at him.
