My Gift To You

I wanted to do something special for my fans this holiday season and the thing that came to mind was expanding on one of the worlds I created in 2021.

Taking a Chance for Love was one of my most popular books this year, so I decided that was the world to expand on. You’ll meet two new characters in this book, but you’ll get to spend a little time with your favorite characters from Taking a Chance for Love as well.

Of course, it’s all set not far from Clay and Joshua’s orange grove.

Moon's Place

Keaton Newhart is stuck in a dead end job, hates his apartment, and feels bullied by his overbearing parents. His life changes quickly, however, when he is bowled over by a very rambunctious and large puppy that escaped from his owner then extremely sexy local baseball star, Matthew Sexton.

Matthew knows his time to retire from baseball is just around the corner. After four years with his minor league team, The Firebirds, there's little chance of advancing to the majors; especially now that he had come out as gay. The only problem is, what was he going to do with his life now.

In this instant attraction romance, will Keaton and Matthew be able to navigate all the curve balls life throws at them, or will they let the currents of change keep them apart forever?

While meeting the realtor, Flex happens upon sexy motel owner Mitch. As sparks fly between the two, Flex decides selling his family’s legacy may not be the right thing to do.

However, ownership of the ranch seems to have initiated sinister nightmares for Flex. Stranger still, these dreams somehow involve Mitch. When the nightmares begin coming true, their concerns deepen. Especially when Flex’s latest vision predicts his own demise.

As darkness closes in around them, will Mitch and Flex’s love be enough to ensure their survival? Or will their hopes for a future together go up in smoke?

What's Happening With Me?

December with Family!

The hubby is still working in Oregon as a critical care nurse, but we've been given a brief respite and are now at my brother's house in Seattle visiting with family.

Covid did a number on us, like it did everyone all over the world. I've not seen my family in years. So, now that we are all vaccinated and boostered on top of that, we came together to celebrate an early Christmas together.

The picture above is of two Christmases ago, but I was able to decorate a lot more that year than this one. We've just done too much traveling and I thought that pic really made the RV look good.

For those of you following our travels, I'm not sure where we'll be after the first of the year, but I'm sure it'll be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. I'll let you know in January's newsletter.

Works in Progress...

Coming Home Series:

This is my first sweet (no sex scenes) series. Why would I do that you ask? Well, to be honest I wrote this when Hallmark said they were looking for gay romance stories to turn into film. Of course I wasn't able to write them quite that sweet, so Hallmark is probably off the table but I'm now obsessed with making this into a mini series. Anyone know a producer? (laughing but not joking...)

Finding Home: The first book of the series is set to be released on Valentine's Day. Barring any issues, that'll be the plan. If that's how this works out, I'll introduce the cover of the book and give you all a link to prepurchase in my January newsletter.

Coming Home Series Description:

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. 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.

Series Synopsis

For most of us, coming home simply means going back to your place of birth for the holidays. For others, it’s something a bit more – meaningful.

In the upcoming (January 2022) Coming Home Series, Blake Allwood explores what it means for a gay man to come home after years of being away.

Crawford City, located not far from Nashville and in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is in every way a small rural Tennessee community. Just like all small towns, Crawford City is faced with what it means to exist in an ever-changing world.

These novels focus on the lives of six people who have either grown up in or around this small town and left or have discovered this small town and made it their own.

These uplifting love stories show their unique approach to rethinking home and embracing quirky southern ways.

The Coming Home Series uplifts and promotes the idea of family, relationships, and community while demonstrating how beautiful it is when someone finds their way back home.
