Beyond Romance

March 10, 2025

Hello all my peeps and pups.

Wow, yesterday was one heck of a great day. I went into it feeling fairly anxious about trying to do too much. It was the first of the monthly farm swap meet of the year. And I had some juvenile turkeys that have been eating their weight in feed weekly. They needed new homes and couldn't miss out on the chance to meet their new owners. But of course I was also invited to a craft and vendor event in the nearby mall. How could I make it work? Simple -- pack everything in the van, go to the swap from 8 am until noon and then head to the craft fair from noon until 5 pm.

Somehow it all worked out. Sold out at the swap early. All the bratty turkey babies found wonderful new homes. And met some wonderful new readers at the mall. Tammy, the book lover! And Norman, it was fun talking about local authors. Chatting with readers is always so much fun.

Hopefully I'll get to meet more of you at upcoming events. I can't wait.

Read more and meet someone new!

Thanks to life-long attention issues, I started my writer journey with exploring a lot of different short stories and novellas. This led to the completion of several novella collections. Since then I've added all these to kindle unlimited and made them available to purchase in both novella and collection form. Being a penny-pincher, I encourage my readers to skip right to the collection. Get the whole story for a little bit less.

ACACIA II: Blindsided

From savior to master. From desperation to lover.

Med. Blake

With our people driven to the brink of survival, all that can keep us alive is the blood supply grudgingly provided by the planet-side humans. I'm the one responsible for the care of people and supplies coming through the port of the Acacia moon colony. It's my duty to keep my vampire brethren safe and healthy. Not just the vampires but the humans among us too. Every life is precious.

What if the worst-case scenario comes to pass? What if the blood supply is tampered with, driving the rational vampires to the edge of blood starved madness?

Dash

He's my master, my owner and the only family I've ever known. Med. Blake holds every drop of my respect, and affection, but he's never once taken my blood. Or my body. Instead he's raised me like his child, treated me like his friend and respected me like a comrade.

And I want more.

None of my willful desires matter, until the day he consumes poisoned blood. Then there is only one truth. He has to live, even if it costs me everything.

Blindsided is the second story in the Acacia trilogy. This series has mixed pairing romances. Blindside is boylove, male/male. If you're looking for a no hold barred, violent exploration of eternal love, dive into this one. It's set on a futuristic moon colony, written in third person, duel POV. The romance is contained in this story but for the whole story read the trilogy in the ACACIA Collection.

Tropes: master and servant, first love, age-gap, self-sacrifice, found family.

Triggers: violence, biting, adult language, discussion of homicide and suicide.
