RELEASE DAY & FREE BOOK!

March 27, 2025

It's release day! SEASON OF THE WITCH is now available on Amazon on KU or for sale. The paperback will be up in a few days. I'm just waiting on the final cover art. FOR THE FREE BOOK PROMOTION, SCROLL DOWN.

Season of the Witch was inspired by a dream I had in September 2024. I dreamt I was in Amish country again and visited a house Keira Andrews had up for sale! (Keira Andrews is a fellow m/m romance writer who has also written a series with Amish protagonists). I found this quite curious when I woke up and decided it was a prompt for me to return to Lancaster County and write a new Amish-themed romance. Thank you, Dream Muses!

This story involves a bit of "woo woo" because the Amish MC is a braucher, a practitioner of Amish folk magic and healing. The details are based on real folk magic. :-) I hope you all enjoy it. The full blurb is below.

BLURB:

Elijah fled his grandfather's house one fateful night, choosing to leave the Amish order rather than submit to the old man's commands. He finds refuge at Pig bottom Farm, a rescue run by a fellow ex-Amish, Samuel, and his husband. Elijah prays Samuel never finds out who he really is--a brujah, or practitioner of Amish folk magic, and grandson of the most powerful brujah in Lancaster County. Such practice is forbidden among the Amish, and Samuel would surely want nothing to do with him.

Jon has been a farmhand at Pig Bottom Farm for two years, ever since he left his home in Louisiana and the tragedy that happened there. He doesn’t like people, and he resents having a homeless nineteen-year-old hanging around, no matter how beguiling and mysterious the 'kid' may be. When Jon begins to find signs around the farm that remind him of the folk magic he grew up with, he knows Elijah is not the innocent farm boy he pretends to be.

Elijah left the Amish, but he can't escape the spiritual gifts that are in his blood. Some will want to use his power, some will fear it, and one will be compelled to love and protect him. When bad brujah come, Elijah must risk everything to save the family that cast him out.

This story features faith healing, Amish folk magic, a feisty Cajun farmhand, lots of pigs and other rescued farm animals, enemies-to-lovers, found family, fate, and a happily ever after.

NOW OUT! Heaven Can't Wait

March 20, 2024

Heaven Can't Wait

This novella was released in 2014 with Dreamspinner Press. It's been out of print for about six years. I've had a lot of requests for it, so I'm thrilled to be able to get it back on the market. This is an updated second edition with a new cover and edited content.

Truly, this is one of my favorite Eli Easton stories. I have a fascination with philosophy, the metaphysical, and NDEs (Near Death Experiences). This story hits all my favorite subjects! It is not at all 'heavy' but a lighter, comic romance.

BLURB:

This college romance is a match made in heaven. Literally.

When Brian dies at nineteen, his less-than-stellar performance here on Earth puts his soul in limbo. He has one chance to redeem himself at the pearly gates. All Brian has to do is save the life of Kevin Anderson, a guy he and his friends teased for being gay.

Kevin had big dreams about life at college--friends, parties, acceptance for who he really is, maybe even a nice boyfriend. But his dorm roommate, Chuck, and his stupid friends, prove him wrong on day one with their casual homophobia. Now he can only wait for another room to open up—and try to keep his eyes off sexy, uber-straight Chuck.

Chuck is struggling to keep up the tough-guy façade everyone expects from him. But being trapped in a dorm room with the prettiest twink he’s ever seen isn’t helping.

If Brian can untangle this mess, he’ll deserve his wings.

Heaven Can't Wait is a tongue-in-cheek romance featuring college roommates secretly crushing on each other, a meddling angel wannabe, mishaps, temptation, and the meaning of life. No biggie.

NEW RELEASE: Zenith (A Lake Prophet Mystery #3)

January 20, 2024

The third (and final) Lake Prophet mystery is here! I've had so much fun writing this cozy mystery series with RJ Scott. I've always loved mysteries, and it's pure pleasure for me to plot them out. I also fell in love with the characters in this series. Those who have followed may know that I write Tiber Russo, the animal behaviorist, and RJ writes the hunky sheriff, Gabriel Thompson.

It's only natural that Tiber fell for the wounded, haunted Gabe. He's a rescuer thru and thru. But it's Gabriel that usually ends up saving Tiber when there's a killer on the loose. And that's been happening all too often in the sleepy small town of Prophet, Washington.

In this third installment, we see the solidity of the relationship that's developed between Tiber and Gabriel. But there's a whole lot coming against them this time around.

BLURB:

A killer haunts Prophet, and this time it’s personal

The discovery of a body at Thompson Cabins sets off a chain of events that hits too close to home for Sheriff Gabriel Thompson. When his brother Sam becomes a prime suspect in the murder investigation, Gabriel is forced to keep secrets from Tiber and call in outside help as he fights to prove Sam’s innocence. It’s a nightmare that becomes all consuming.

Tiber Russo, animal whisperer, is dealing with problems of his own. A stalker threatens him and his entire menagerie of pets. With Gabriel wrapped up in the new case, Tiber tries to solve the mystery on his own. Who in the sleepy town of Prophet wants to do him harm? But when the threats turn lethal, Tiber finds himself in over his head.

Tiber and Gabriel have solved two murders together and started a deep relationship. But this time the forces ranged against them are personal and the target is on them and on the backs of everyone they love. With each of them isolated trying to protect the other, their strength is diminished. Even with the love they share, can they make it out of this alive?

I hope you guys enjoy this one! Eli

NEW RELEASE: Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes

November 22, 2023

It’s that time of year! It’s become my holiday tradition to release a Christmas romance at Thanksgiving—a tradition as ingrained as putting up all our decorations that weekend.

This year’s story was so much fun to write! One of my husband’s favorites movies is I Know Where I’m Going (1945). We’ve watched it together many times, and I’ve always loved its romance structure, with a very proper young woman engaged to a wealthy man who has a clear-eyed and determined view of her future—until she gets stuck on an island on her way to the wedding and falls for a penniless but charming nobleman.

I always wanted to write a m/m romance version of the story, and this year it just fit as my Christmas novella. In Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes, Joe Blankenship is a young man who came from a very poor and unstable background. He’s worked his way up to be the right-hand guy in a big medical supply business, and he’s engaged to the boss’s daughter. His in-laws-to-be have everything he thought he ever wanted in life, and he’s on the verge of securing his future.

But then there’s this hurricane, see, and an unexpected passenger for the long drive from Miami to Manhattan, and what Joe thinks matters in life is about to face a sea change.

Now you may be thinking — hurricanes? For Christmas? Trust me, dear reader, I had the same thought when this idea came to me. But there is a ton of Christmas spirit in this book, I promise!

BLURB:

Joe knows where he is going in life. But one crazy road trip just might change everything.

Joe Blankenship knows where he’s going. He’s on track to marry the boss’s daughter and become heir apparent to a multi-million dollar medical supply business. The financial security he never had growing up is within his grasp along with a glitzy Manhattan lifestyle. All he has to do is get to New York by Christmas Eve for his engagement party.

Joe didn’t count on getting grounded in Florida thanks to a hurricane. He couldn’t have anticipated having to rent a broken-down car for the long drive north. And he certainly never foresaw being stuck with a passenger like Remy Guidry, a sweet-natured Cajun boy, social worker at a children’s home, and free spirit. Remy is the opposite of everything Joe has worked for. But he just might teach Joe, not only the spirit of Christmas, but what’s truly of value in life.

Planes, Trains, and Hurricanes is a Christmas road trip, forced proximity, opposites attract romance.

RELEASE DAY - Equinox: A Lake Prophet Mystery

September 29, 2023

EQUINOX is here! It seems like just a few days ago SOLSTICE, the first Lake Prophet Mystery, was released. RJ and I didn't start working on Equinox until Solstice was out, but it went so quickly. Tiber and Gabriel had a lot more to do and say, and the mystery plot came together like magic after figuring out it had to involve animals--of course--because Tiber needed to be front and center. And it probably should be something other than another dog-centric mystery like book 1.

This time the mystery involves wolves. Specifically a wolf pack that only recently moved into the Olympic National Park and which might, or might not, be responsible for a dead man. I've always been fascinated by wolves and even wrote a werewolf story that leaned heavily on the wolf side--in another life and under another nom de plume. It's hard not to root for the beautiful creatures, but Tiber will have to come further out of his hermit-crab shell if he's going to do anything to help them.

On the relationship side of the equation, Tiber and Gabriel make important strides in this book. Tiber doesn't like many humans, but he's starting to realize it's safe to make an exception for Sheriff Gabriel Thompson. And Gabriel? He's a patient man.

RJ and I hope you love Equinox as much as we do. Happy Fall, dear readers.

ALSO - Thank you sincerely to our reviewers. Your oh-so-positive reception of Solstice, and the Equinox ARC, truly give me the confidence and courage to keep writing.

BLURB:

The tranquility of Prophet is shattered when a horseback rider is killed on a popular trail and whispers spread of dangerous beasts roaming the woods.

Three months after the murder of Mike Bressett, the sleepy town of Prophet faces another tragedy—the death of Billy Odette, a well-liked Makah man who ran trail rides for the tourists. When Billy is discovered to have been the victim of a vicious animal attack, dragged right off a popular trail, angry locals are quick to blame a wolf pack that’s recently moved into the area. Sheriff Gabriel Thompson is the only authority standing between those who want to protect the wolves and those who want them hunted down—all while trying to keep people safe and get to the bottom of what happened.

Tiber Russo, local animal whisperer, is firmly on the side of the wolves. But when a figure from his past shows up in town, his own spiraling panic casts a shadow over his blossoming relationship with Gabriel and his ability to help the wolves.

To get to the truth, Gabriel and Tiber unravel a tangled web of deception, greed, curses, magic, and long-held grudges. But when Tiber’s life is threatened, they both just might lose everything.

RELEASE DAY: How to Love Thine Enemy

April 17, 2023

Look what’s here! HOW TO LOVE THINE ENEMY is now available on Amazon to purchase or borrow in Kindle Unlimited. I know it’s been a long wait for fans of the series, and I apologize for that. But this new book took quite a bit of research and was one I needed to write on my own instead of with my recent writing partner, Tara Lain. But it is finally here, and I hope it was worth the wait! I hope you enjoy being immersed in this fantasy universe and Romeo/Juliet trope story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

This isn’t the book I thought I’d write next in the Howl at the Moon series, but I really felt the separation of the Qimmiq and Inuit keenly, and I needed to resolve that! So here you go. :-)

CHAPTER 1

You can read the first chapter on this site here.

LINKS:

BLURB:

Can a forbidden love heal the rift between two enemy tribes?

Legend says that, centuries ago, the sled dogs and the Inuit were so deeply bonded that the dogs rose up on two legs and became men. The Qimmig and the People lived together happily until one of the Inuit betrayed the dog-men. The Qimmig fled, vowing never to return.

Taq figured that was just another story elders told around the campfire. But when he witnesses two guys survive a polar bear attack by shifting into dogs, he has to rethink everything. Could the Qimmig really exist? And could they have anything to do with the special, golden-eyed boy he’d played with as a child?

Cupun has missed his old friend, Taq. But it is forbidden for the Qimmig to have anything to do with one-skinned Inupiat. When a series of events brings Taq back into his life, the feelings of protectiveness and joy awakened in his dog’s heart tell him that Taq is his soul’s mate.

But neither the Qimmig nor the Inuit are prepared to accept this bond. Are the boys fated for tragedy? Or will their love find a way?

How to Love Thine Enemy is a star-crossed lovers/Romeo and Juliet trope set in Alaska. Friends-to-lovers, doggie shifters, and destined romance with a little wilderness adventure.

HOW TO LOVE THINE ENEMY - Cover Reveal & Pre-order link

March 9, 2023

How to Love Thine Enemy is the sixth book in my Howl at the Moon series. It features a new couple and can be read as a stand-alone, though reading the series in order is recommended. It is now up for pre-order with a pub date of April 7.

This tale was inspired by a movie I watched recently called Slash/Back, which is set in the small Inuit town of Pangnirtung and features contemporary Inuit girls fighting off an alien. :-) I loved the contemporary native tone of the film, and it reminded me that I had intended to write about the Inuit and the Qimmig (a pack of dog-shifters). So I was spurred to bump that book up in my tbw pile.

The Howl at the Moon world features dog shifters. You see, if a dog is bonded deeply enough with a human, they may "get the spark"--the ability to take on human form. Most of my series is set in a town called Mad Creek, California, where dogs who were born descended from dog shifters, and dogs that just recently "got the spark," all live. But in book 5, How to Run with the Wolves, one of them discovers a pack of wild dog shifters living in remote Alaska called the Qimmig. The Qimmig are descended from huskies, but their pack has nearly reverted to their wolf nature due to lack of human contact.

This book, How to Love Thine Enemy, is set entirely in Alaska and features a young Inuit man and one of the Qimmig pack.

Here's the blurb:

Can a forbidden love heal the rift between two enemy tribes?

FIRST CHAPTER PREVIEW:

You can read the first chapter here.

BLURB:

An avalanche, a quaint Christmas inn, and an assignment to sit on an infamous jewel thief until the cops can arrive. What could go wrong?

Felix can’t believe his luck when a perfect stranger offers him the use of a pre-paid cabin at a mountain inn. He’d planned to ignore Christmas this year, working through the holidays in his job as a nurse in a Denver maternity ward. After all, Christmas won’t be the same without his beloved mother, who recently passed. But the inn, decked out like a Hallmark movie set, is the perfect place to soothe his heart, rekindle his Christmas cheer, and maybe even find romance? When a gorgeous ex-Marine befriends him and sticks by his side through a whole day of Christmas activities, Felix thinks he’s found true love.

Riggs’s plans for a ski vacation are buried when an avalanche blocks off the mountain inn where he’s staying from the rest of the world. A midnight phone call enlists Rigg’s help watching a guy on the FBI’s Most Wanted list who is supposed to be staying at the inn. The FBI and the police can’t get through until the avalanche is cleared. Riggs steps up to do his duty one more time. But the man who is supposed to be The Falcon, an international thief, has one hell of a Clark Kent type alter ego, because he seems like the sweetest man Riggs has ever met. The more time they spend together, the more attracted Riggs becomes to him, and the more determined he is to make The Falcon reveal his true colors.

Will love prevail? Or will the law?

A Changeling Christmas is a mistaken identity, snowed in together, rom-com romance with all the Christmas feels. All the books in the Snowed Inn collection are standalone stories and can be read in any order.

Now up for pre-order: FANG (Gothika reunion)

September 28, 2022

Now up for pre-order! Just in time for the spooky season... FANG. This is a "Gothika reunion" volume. I loved writing the Gothika stories with Kim Fielding, Jamie Fessenden, Sue Brown, and BJ Thomas. We decided to do one more book. My novella in this volume of mm vampire tales is A DARK HEALING. It's a historical.

BLURB:

TRICKLE OF BLOOD
My vampire clan is dying. Human blood is too tainted to sustain us. On the brink of giving up, the last thing I expect to find is the saviour of my clan, a non-human. He is my mate.
I know I must ask the impossible of my mate. If he walks away my clan will die. I don’t know if I’ll be able to let him go if he says no. Do I give him that choice, or his body and blood mine to command?

A DARK HEALING
The life of a healer is a lonely one. Feared by the local villagers for being both a healer and an albino, Darian lives alone and spends his days picking herbs, making remedies, and talking to his dead teacher. Then one day he finds a mysterious man in the woods who’s been shot through with an arrow. Darian takes the man, Locke, back to his little hut and tends him as best he can.
Locke is a strange creature—at times imperious and at other times nearly feral. But he is stunningly beautiful, and, more importantly, he finds Darian beautiful and unique—like a white unicorn. The two lonely men take comfort in each other’s company, and they bond over the days of Locke’s healing. But when killings begin in the nearby village, Darian must face both the nature of the man he invited into his bed and the villager’s wrath.

THE QUARRY BOY
A visit from a fearful apparition has marked Josiah Crayne as the next to die. August Walker returns home to confront the ghosts of the past—not only his painful memories of a friend's death, but also his own sexuality.
As August investigates the tragedy that’s befallen the Craynes, it may turn out to be too much for him to bear—especially when he begins to suspect this man marked for death could return his affections.

FARKAS
Lee Harker has never fit in anywhere. Not with his immigrant family in rural Nebraska, not on a Navy ship during World War II, and not in Los Angeles as associate in a law firm. But when he’s sent to a remote mansion to complete some paperwork for the reclusive Vincent Farkas, Lee encounters the most unsettling circumstances yet. Caught in a place where things truly do go bump in the night, he must face his fears—and his desires—and acknowledge his true nature.

He’s happy being a “perpetual bachelor.” But when he’s partnered up with a too-attractive newbie detective, all the neat boxes in his life threaten to collapse. Because the one thing this detective never saw coming—falling in love.

John Rivera always wanted to be a detective. He’s determined to succeed despite his ex trying to make his life hell and his new partner—the gorgeous Rick Canali—making it clear he’s not wanted. As a former foster care kid, he’s used to fighting his own battles and depending on no one.

When a firefighter dies under suspicious circumstances, Rick and John’s new partnership is tested. It turns out, they’re a pretty good team. But can they crack the case while dancing around their mutual attraction, dodging John’s ex, and trying to keep the Canali firefighters safe from a potential killer in the Cal Fire ranks?

BLURB:

Wait. Can a Canali be gay?

Hero firefighter, youngest of six macho Italian brothers and—in love with Shane Bower, who never met a unicorn T-shirt he didn’t love? How does that even work?

When Mike Canali meets Shane Bower, his attraction to the guy is off the charts. But then his huge family and intense job full of rules and expectations intrude and he never calls.

Until they both get a medal—

and his mom falls in love with Shane at the ceremony—

and all of a sudden Shane’s all over his life, whether Mike likes it or not.

The butch Canali family face-to-face with sparkly Shane Bower? This is a wildfire of its own.

Shane worked damned hard to be who he is—fantastic, femme and in-your-face. He won’t compromise that, even to have the super-hot man of his dreams. But can he really ask Mike to give up his family and future just to have his fabulous self? Especially when he’s falling in love with the Canali family too?

HOT SEAT is a hot firefighter, big crazy family, coming out, opposites attract, forced proximity, romantic comedy—with all the feels.

READ CHAPTER 1 HERE

BLURB:

Greg Cabot is the third generation to run Cabot’s Christmas Wonderland and tree farm in rural Vermont. But this year will be his last. Since the death of his son, Sam, in Afghanistan, Greg no longer has the heart to run a business based on holiday cheer. When he picks up a hitchhiking soldier on a snowy night, he finds the help he needs to get his farm through the holidays—and maybe much more.

Sergeant Robbie Sparks doesn’t have much to be thankful for this holiday season. Badly wounded in Afghanistan, he’s spent the last eight months in recovery and was discharged after ten years of service. When fate lands him at Cabot’s tree farm, he feels like he’s fallen into a snow globe reality. Friendly people, gorgeous trees, lots of Christmas kitsch… and Greg Cabot. Robbie thinks he could love the handsome, kind Greg with all his heart. Greg believes he’s too heartbroken for romance, and that Robbie is too young.

But those we love never truly leave us. A little nudge from heaven can help build a bridge for this pair. If only they are willing to take that first step.

RELEASE DAY!! BETTING ON HIS BF

September 14, 2021

Look what’s out today! Tara Lain and I had so much fun writing this one. It practically wrote itself. PJ’’s scheming and Felix’s, er, assets, gave us so much to work with. The reviews on Goodreads are terrific so far—glad readers are having fun with it too! Here’s the deets:

BLURB

Big Bet. Big Trouble. Big Love.

When Felix the Quiz Bowl Champion reveals other oversized assets besides his brain, it takes PJ, the super-wheeler-dealer, to wangle maximum profits from it—in bets, wet jock strap contests, and Wang of the Week.

But winning money turns out to be second to falling in lust, and sexual escapades replace time at the poker tables as the number-one activity of their wicked week in Vegas.

Still, accepting the hospitality of PJ’s father’s client, the mobster Joey Oretano, proves a nearly fatal money-saving scheme, and brings Felix and PJ face-to-face with the serious side of life.
Very. Serious.

Will someone take the chance to be a hero?
Or will someone wind up dead?

BETTING ON HIS BF is a friends-to-lovers, bisexual awakening, what-happens-in-Vegas-can-win-you-money, dash-of-suspense, MM romance—with large assets.

New Release: One Trick Pony!

July 29, 2021

Look what’s out! ONE TRICK PONY is now available in ebook and in paperback.

I’ve been wanting to write Henry Atkins’ book ever since I wrote A Prairie Dog’s Love Song in 2013. Henry was the villain in that book, and he appears again in book 2 of the Clyde’s Corner series, A Stolen Suitor. But his book kept getting shoved back for other titles.

I’m so pleased to say it is now out! Here’s the blurb:

Forgiving yourself is the first step toward finding true love.

Henry Atkins is determined to turn around his sorry life and prove to the residents of Clyde’s Corner that he’s not the town bad boy anymore. But when every secret fantasy in his head walks appears at Muddy River Ranch, the straight and narrow path he’s on takes a wild detour.

Micah is one of the biggest porn stars, but he’s burned out. A month’s vacation with his old friend Ben in Clyde’s Corner, Montana is just what his jaded heart needs. He wants rest, fresh air, and to not be recognized by a living soul.

Both men are both a fresh start. Fly fishing lessons on the river uncover the surprising number of things they have in common and forms a heartfelt bond that might save their weary souls. Only Micah’s past isn’t through with him yet.

This is a story about two guys with troubled pasts who find a way to turn over a new leaf together. It has a lot of heart, and I hope you enjoy it!

The Clyde's Corner Series is here!

July 14, 2021

I’m excited to announce the publication of this old and new series! These three books are set in the small ranching town of Clyde’s Corner, Montana. The series has a folksy, Western, rom-com vibe.

Book 1 (A Prairie Dog’s Love Song) and book 2 (The Stolen Suitor) were originally published with Dreamspinner Press and are now being rereleased with a new series cover.

Book 3 (One Trick Pony) is a brand new novel in the Clyde’s Corner, Montana universe. I recently finished writing this book and it was a blast. It features Henry Atkins, the town villain in books 1 & 2 and Devon, a Boys 2 Boys porn star from book 1 (his real name is Micah). This story has themes of forgiveness and change and recognizing what’s not working for you anymore.

One Trick Pony is a 70K word novel coming out July 30, 2021. It’s now available for pre-order. The first two books are on Amazon in the new editions. You don’t need to read books 1 & 2 to enjoy One Trick Pony since it features a new couple, but you might get more out of the returning characters if you read the books in order.

ONE TRICK PONY - BLURB

Forgiving yourself is the first step toward finding true love.

Henry Atkins is determined to turn around his no-good, sorry life and prove to the residents of Clyde’s Corner that he’s not the town bad boy anymore. If going to church every Sunday with the Ladies Society is what it takes to polish his reputation, he’s all in. But when every secret fantasy in his head walks into the stables at Muddy River Ranch, the straight and narrow path he’s on takes a wild detour. It never felt so good to be so bad.

Micah has been one of the biggest porn stars in the world for five years, but he’s burned out. His body won’t cooperate to film even one more scene. A month’s vacation with his old friend Ben in Clyde’s Corner, Montana is just what his jaded heart needs. He wants rest, fresh air, and to not be recognized by a living soul. He sure as hell isn’t looking for a fling, and he wants nothing to do with Henry, the fanboy who works at Ben’s ranch.

The two men are both seeking a fresh start, an escape from the demons of their past. Fly fishing lessons on the river uncover the surprising number of things they have in common and forms a heartfelt bond that might save their weary souls. Only Micah’s past isn’t through with him yet.
