Happy Wednesday Scribblers, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are having a great week. Today I’m happy to share with you that for 2025 I currently have planned to release two short stories and one new novel. I’ll be sharing more information over the coming months and in the New Year, however today I wanted to offer you all a couple of teasers.
The Two Short Stories:
I’ve been invited again this year to participate in two different anthologies. The first one is Romance is a Drag. this anthology spotlights Drag Queens. I loved the idea of being in the anthology to help give some love to the drag community, especially given all the negative misinformation out there. This short story takes place in the world of Volaria, however, this is a much more fun and uplifting tale. Here is the Blurb:
Miss Vina Volaria - A Volaria Story
Being a renowned solar system Drag Queen is hard work and a great deal of travel. You’re always on the move performing and rarely get a break. Drag is made even more complicated when you’re a Lycan who can’t perform for three days every five weeks during your transition period. But that won’t slow you down, especially when you have to perform, not only on Earth, but on the Moon and Mars. So, when Miss Vina Volaria finally gets to come home to Volaria for a break, she is anxious to have some downtime and meet up with some friends. Finding romance wasn’t on her ‘Bingo’ card, especially when she meets Dura, an Environmental Services Engineer, who has a permascowl and recently relocated to the moon from Earth. Will these two make a connection, or will their differences be too much to overcome? Especially when Vina finds out that Dura apparently takes issue with not only Vampires and Arcaines but also Lycan.
The second short story coming out in 2025 will be in the anthology will be an Own Voices Gay Holiday Anthology. This short story will take place in my Golden Hills Haunting Universe, which I’m excited to explore again. As with Golden Hills Haunting, this short story will have a lot of adult content. Here is the blurb:
Whispers of the Crescent Moon
It’s the last weekend of Ramadan, and Reza wants to get away from his family while Kyle is looking for a relaxing few days with his boyfriend. These two college boys plan on a trip to a secluded cabin along the California Coast near Boulder Creek. However, when mysterious noises rumble through the house and items go missing only to reappear in strange locations, tensions flare, leading to confrontations and revelations that neither man initially had any intensions of exploring. Could these supernatural events bring Kyle and Reza closer or pull them apart? Find out in this sexy paranormal drama.
New Novel:
And last up is my next novel. I’ve been working on this novel for the last year and I’m happy to share that I’m now in the editing process. This coming novel is an alternate history story where giant airships travel our skies, taking guests to fantastic locations including the Hawaiian Islands. This is a lighthearted, fun romance story that I can’t wait for people to sink their teeth into. Here is the blur:
Hawaiian Sun:
In 1937, Fredrick Rudolf, a steward aboard the LZ 129 Hindenburg, planned to escape the German Reich with his boyfriend upon arriving in New Jersey. However, disaster struck, and as a fireball rushed towards him, Fredrick found himself transported to an alternate reality standing and waiting at the Moffett Field Airship Terminal in San Jose, California, in 2025.
In 2025, Leo Asher awaits his new butler, Fredrick Rudolf, at the Moffett Field Light Rail station. As the Concierge/Trainer for the Hawaiian Sun, one of the eleven zeppelins of the United AirShips Family, Leo is eager to finish his preparations for the eighth annual Queer Cruise. Despite a rocky start, Fredrick and Leo quickly hit it off.
As Leo gets Fredrick acclimated to the Hawaiian Sun and prepare for two hundred guests from the Queer Community, both men grapple with secrets that could impact not just their lives, but those on the cruise. With Fredrick's mysterious arrival and Leo's concealed medical condition, they must navigate their pasts to carve out a new future.
Will they each find love in the skies over the Pacific Ocean? Join the adventure aboard the Hawaiian Sun, where luxury and elegance go on holiday.
