Thank
you for inviting me to your blog with new release, MM romance,
Snowflake Wine.
The
story is contemporary gay romance with an edge of fantasy, especially
written as a sweet but sexy Christmas treat.
Jamie
Snow and Nathan Bloom, my characters are as usual, dear to me.
Jamie
has battled all his life with his strange, fantastic gift. His is the
character that brings the element of fantasy to the story. The
inspiration behind the creation of this character came, weirdly
enough, in the summer, when I visited a ruined abbey. In the grounds
were flowering shrubs that I’d never encountered before. From a
distance, the flowers looked like frost, and as I drew close, into my
mind came the idea of Jamie, a sprite who loves cold, ice, frost, and
to comfort himself in the warm weather, he decorated the shrubs with
frost flowers.
Nathan
Bloom is the perfect partner for Jamie—gorgeous, calm, loving and
open. He’s looking for love. He’s onto Jamie’s gifts long
before he lets Jamie know it. This is a love story—romantic, sexy,
hopeful.
Blurb
Hunky
Nathan Bloom works late for the company putting up the town Christmas
lights and decorations.
Gorgeous,
enigmatic, Jamie Snow works late forecasting the weather from his
desk in the meteorology office.
Nathan
sighs over the prospect of a holiday season with no one to love.
Jamie
wonders if he’ll ever find a man to love who will accept his
mysterious origins and talents.
One
cold night, as Nathan finishes hoisting the wreath lights up the
building where Jamie works, they meet.
The
brilliant festive lights aren’t the only things to sparkle as the
two men connect on a deep level.
Be
delighted by a delicious, contemporary, gay romance with an edge of
fantasy this season.
Sometimes
being different is awesome.

a teaser:
Jamie
Snow sat alongside Nathan. He glanced across at the man who stirred
his frosty heart. He’s so attractive. Jamie hadn’t loved
in a long time. He felt more than ready for it—longed for it on
lonely nights. He wasn’t about to give up on the chance that this
man might want a lover, that he was gay wasn’t in question. No
straight guy looked the way he had at another man.
“My
name’s Jamie, Jamie Snow.” He softened his voice as he spoke. The
man beside him inspired tenderness and he felt a little prick of
guilt. Using the weather to flirt with him had been inspired but
maybe a little naughty.
Nathan
drove the truck into a wide car lot that Jamie hadn’t known existed
behind the furniture store on the end of the main street. “Here we
are. The store allows us to leave the bigger rigs here every year.
Jamie Snow—that’s an interesting name for a meteorologist—mine’s
Nathan Bloom.”
Jamie’s
smile infused his tone. “Yes. People tease me sometimes at work,
they’ll know we’ve forecast it and as I walk by they’ll say,
‘here comes the snow,’ but I don’t mind. I like this name.”
“You’ve
had others?” Nathan asked with a laugh.
Jamie
didn’t want to reply. He waited. I won’t be lying to this
lovely guy if I don’t answer.
Nathan
turned off the truck engine and twisted to talk to Jamie. “It’s a
cool name. Where do you live?”
It
appeared he’d forgotten his question.
Happiness
trickled into Jamie’s soul that the attractive man beside him liked
his name, and used the word, cool. Eagerly, Jamie told Nathan
his address on the outskirts of the town.
Nathan
grinned, his eyes reflecting Jamie’s emotion. “I know it well. I
live a couple of streets south from there.”
