The start of a new year brings feelings of excitement and renewal. Unfortunately, these are tempered by two things:

1 — I’m old enough to know that New Years doesn’t actually change anything automatically.

2 — The world is still kinda fucked.

The new year is a time to make plans, revitalize intention, and refocus on positivity, though, so that’s what I’m going to do. I hope everyone out there can do a bit of that for themselves, too. Protect and nurture yourself. Get rid of toxic situations and people as much as you can. Take time for yourself.

What are my plans for the year?

I’m not quite done with “Tales From Revere’s” yet. Paul and Houston still want to expand the bar so even more LGBTQ+ folks can come inside and find their second home there. Max and Emmitt’s wedding is coming up, and I can’t miss that. Some very deserving men haven’t found their forever love yet!

The next book coming out at the end of January is “Mine to Serve,” which sees Giovanni and Viktor getting their happily ever after.

The three remaining books include and “Extra Dry and Dirty,” “With a Twist,” and “Straight Up Proof.” Then, it will be time to leave Revere’s alone and move on to the next project. More details about those will come in the future.

Do you have favorite characters who you think deserve a story? Let me know in the comments.

What’s next?

I have multiple series ideas already bouncing around in my head. I’m never short on ideas.

Options include:

1 — Shifter paranormal romance with lots of steam

2 — Gritty realism, hurt/comfort in a beautiful and unique setting

3 — Spin-off series at the Halcyon Inn (Finn and Carter’s luxury LGBTQ-friendly B&B) a few years down the road

Decisions! Decisions!

Whatever the new year holds, it should be interesting. At least in fiction we can escape the crap going on in the real world for a while.
