Summer is here!!!

Sunflowers

…if you’re in the northern hemisphere like I am.

Back in the spring, I wrote a post about the books I’ve written that takes place during the spring, so I figured I’d do the same now that we’re entering the summer months.

I was afraid I wouldn’t have any LOL. While I love being in the garden, sowing and planting things, summer is probably the season I like the least. I don’t like the heat, and I definitely don’t like the bugs. That being said, all seasons have their charm.

I tend to write less during the summer than I do the other seasons, autumn probably is the season when I’m most productive. I love autumn! If we’re talking about favourite seasons, that’s it! And it shows in my books. When I went through my stories now, I have eleven autumn stories and only five that take place during summer, two of them written fairly recently. While writing Nine Stones, I realised just how few summer books I’ve written, so I wrote Cup o’ Sugar while I was at it.

And I’m almost done with another summer story, yay! See, I’m working on it LOL.

OK, so my summer stories are:

Silent Woods – This is the first story I write that wasn’t part of the DRitC event. It’s a tale about a married couple with two kids going camping. When the wood goes silent, strange things happen. If you like Scandinavian folklore, you should have a look at this one (and Pine Tree Mary).

Dazzle Me – This story is part of the Summer Bigger Than Others Anthology and it’s about Tom and Santino’s one year anniversary. Tom has planned to propose, but things don’t go as he’d thought they would. It’s a sparkly little tale that had me laughing while writing.

Happy Endings (Nortown 3.5) – A short little Tristan and Aiden story with lost of massage oils and slippery fun.

Nine Stones – Next month is the one year anniversary for this book. JMS-Books turned nine (Which means we have a ten year anniversary this summer!) and, to celebrate, those who wanted wrote a story that had something to do with the number nine. In my case, that was nine gravestones in Felix’s garden. Poor Felix LOL

Cup o’ Sugar – last and shortest is Cup o’ Sugar! JMS has a series called Hot Flashes where all stories have one of four covers and all are under 5k long. Cup o’ Sugar is about 4.3k and it’s about Roarak Halfhide a werewolf who hates coffee but finds his mate in a coffee shop.

If you click the title link you’ll get to a page about the story in question where you’ll find blurbs, excerpts, and links.

Have a lovely summer!

 

 

A – Z |Set Up

~ Ofelia Gränd ~ 11 Comments

For my S, I read Set Up (On Call) by P.D. Singer that I picked up for free through Smashwords Authors Give Back sale.

It’s short and sweet and just right for what my poor brain can handle right now – cute and funny. It’s about cars and a dentist LOL. I know absolutely nothing about cars. I don’t have a drivers license and I can at the most tell you what colour our car is, and maybe the colour of the cars of some of the people closest to me, but far from all. And I’d rather go to the gynaecologist than the dentist if I had to pick one right now.

But despite cars and dentists, I enjoyed this is a sweet romcom, and if that’s what you’re in the mood for, you should check it out. It’s only 31 pages long, but Terry manages to embarrass himself quite a few times during that short time and still get the guy. Cute!

Watch out for coleslaw and tinfoil, though.

Set Up

“Say hi to Doug at the car show.” Just because Keith is a good pal, has good intentions and has great taste in men doesn’t mean Terry wants his own personal matchmaker. With his luck and past experience, he and the man Keith set him up with would hate each other on sight. Besides, Terry can’t look for the elusive Doug: he’s too busy ogling a certain gorgeous 1949 MG TC.

The sleek roadster stands out even among a field of classic beauties, and so does the driver. Is it too much to ask that the guy forget about Terry making a fool of himself over the right hand drive and sexy red fenders? Not likely he’ll forget Terry accidentally flinging a bowl of coleslaw at his chest.

If terminal embarrassment isn’t bad enough, now Terry’s had a dental disaster, leaving him with two choices: stay in agony for days, or see the new man in the practice.

Terry’s at the office by one thirty sharp. And he’s parked next to a red MG.

Memorial Day Weekend Sale

Memorial Day weekend sale

On Monday, it’s Memorial Day, and to celebrate JMS-Books is having a weekend sale where all ebooks are 40% off. The cool thing – there are a lot of cool things, but from an egocentric perspective – both Elevator Pitch and Crazy Joe are up for pre-order!

My release schedule is pretty full (not that I’m complaining) the coming weeks, and I’m a little behind on posting about the coming stories since Black Bird just was published. But, today I’ve made pages for both Elevator Pitch and Crazy Joe where you can read a little excerpt, and here you can see the covers and blurbs.

All my books published through JMS-Books are 40% off until Monday.

elevator pitch

Bjorn Ritter only wants one thing – to live his life away from nosey, demanding bears. That’s easier said than done when you’re the son of the female running the Bayside Bear Community. Cecil Baxter might be a bat, but he grew up away from shifter communities and he’s doing his best to continue to keep his distance. Shifters aren’t an accepting bunch and Cecil has never fit the norm.

Already facing a dreaded meeting with his mother, the last thing Bjorn needs is a stranger using his elevator to escape a pack of werewolves. And Cecil, whose day just seems to be getting worse and worse, could really do without the added stress of finding himself trapped in an elevator with a huge bear shifter.

Still, what could go wrong in three minutes?

Crazy Joe

Abe Cooper is starting over. For fifteen years he’s lived the life that was expected of him, but not anymore. He’s packed up his things, bought himself a cabin in Northfield, and managed to secure a job at the local high school teaching gym and coaching the football team. But his new beginning didn’t include running into Crazy Joe on his first trip to the grocery store.

Jonas Raghnall has everything he needs—good friends and a job he loves. He’s worked hard to get over what happened sixteen years ago, but one run-in with his past and all the memories come flooding back. Seeing Abe Cooper, The Abe Cooper, sets everything out of balance.

Abe had pictured a fresh start with no ties to his past, but now that Jonas is there, he wants nothing more than to be close to the man who had butterflies filling his belly when he was in high school. Jonas doesn’t want to come face to face with his past, but if he sees Abe every day, it’s not really meeting up with your past, is it? It’s more like a date with your future.
