Announcing the June 1st release of Love's Legacy, 

the First Book of the Big Bend Series

The Big Bend Series is a Ghost Story - Paranormal - Millennial Cowboy Romance

Exhausted after a lengthy court battle against his aunt, Flex officially inherited his grandparents’ West Texas ranch. Tired and convinced his best choice is to sell, Flex goes to sign the paperwork and runs into sexy motel owner Mitch Armstrong.

Mitch loved running the motel his grandfather left him, but as soon as guest Flex Henry turned up, everything starts to go wrong.

Despite his concerns, Flex decides not to sell and moves to West Texas to live on his ranch. 

Now plagued with nightmares, Flex is alarmed when one of the dreams comes true and a barn is burned on the ranch by an arsonist. More alarming still is the dreams he’s having now are of his own demise.

As their safety becomes more tenuous, will Flex’s prophetic dreams save him and can the love blooming between Flex and Mitch survive amidst the increasing danger?

Would you like to beta (proof) read Love's Legacy to ensure I haven't left errors and typos?

Nothing frustrates me more than to spend months. if not years, working on a book then releasing it and finding out I've left errors and typos in the manuscript. If you'd like to help me proofread one last time before releasing, I'll be giving five people that opportunity this week. Please do not apply for this if you aren't good at finding typos and mistakes.   Scroll down to the next section if you would like to be an ARC reviewer.

If you'd like to be one of the beta (proof) readers for this book, send me an email at blake@blakeallwood.com with 'beta reader' in the subject line.

What's Happening With Me?

I'll be turning fifty this year. OMG... where has the time gone?

To escape the heat, we are taking the RV up into the New Mexico mountains and exploring an area we've never been to.

Santa Fe is our final destination, but we'll be stopping at Pie Town, a tiny little place known for, you guessed it, pies. I'll fill you in on the experience in my next newsletter.

Winter MM Romance Cruise

So, I’m just a little bit off my rocker, as my granny used to say. But, I got this really hare-brained idea of how fun it would be to do a cruise with a bunch of authors and our fans. So, I mentioned it to my friend/fan John Gilchrist who happens to be a travel agent and well… it’s happening!!  He was able to get us some great discounts, and you can sign up on my website but y’all this is going to be ridiculously fun! Thank goodness John is helping and Lisa Klein has agreed to be our personal assistant! It’d be impossible for me to do this on my own!   (More details below)

Works in Progress...

Big Bend Series – While exploring the Big Bend National Park, I was utterly amazed at how beautiful that part of the world is. The Rio Grande River is a paradise. I mean who would’ve ever guessed that? Anyway, over three months starting in June, I will release each of the three Big Bend books. I call them, tongue in cheek, my millennial cowboy paranormal ghost mystery romance series. Don't wait to pre-order book one now. The ghost story gathers momentum as the series goes on, but Flex and Mitch's book (Love's Legacy) sets the stage.

Coming Home Series – When I was eighteen I left Tennessee, where I grew up, for good. (Mostly because I was an out gay kid in the early 1990's). Looking back, I’ve missed a lot of things I normally wouldn't have...like getting to know the kids of my classmates, family, and friends from high school. Being with family and friends, although it sometimes drives me nuts, still holds a special place in my heart. So now, thirty some odd years later, I began writing about going home. This series is based in a small town just east of Nashville. It’s everything you’d want in a small town including extremely accepting and loving neighbors, great friends, and beautiful architecture. Stay tuned to learn more about these books as they progress through my editing process.

Romantic Rescue – I didn’t intend to turn Romantic Renovations into a series, but often I’m just the vessel and these stories do as they wish. I’m working to finish the final draft on this novel and hope to have it ready to release by fall. FYI, there’s probably a book three ruminating in my brain as well!!

Superhero Romance – I know this is NOTHING like what I usually write, however, I was talked into it by Alex Silver. I started it and just couldn’t stop. So, the first draft is done. Warning: this one’s gonna be significantly darker than most of my other novels.

Christmas Romance – I can’t say much about this one yet, but if it works out, I will be writing one of several "shared world" books by many authors about a Ski-Lodge in Colorado. So, looking forward to this project and collaborating with other authors.

Cinderella Story – I was inspired last year, while watching a Christmas Cinderella story how fun it’d be to do a gay/MM version of the story. It’s one of my favorite stories I’ve written thus far. It will come out this fall as well. Stay tuned for more information.

That’s all I’ve got going on for now.
