A new story coming for Ukraine charity

Hey folks – bad news, good news 🙂 You may remember that I was talking about writing a story for a Ukraine charity anthology that was being organized by another author. That anthology was rather unceremoniously dropped at a very late stage, which means we all had our stories ready to go. I’m really sad not to see it come to fruition, since we had both M/M and M/F stories in it.

But on the plus side, she had asked for brand new novellas. So I now have one of those ready for release. And many of us will be putting our stories up for charity individually – I’ll donate my royalties from Cowboy Dreams through December to Nova Ukraine.

BTW –
Gabbi Grey also has her M/M from the planned anthology up in a box set of two novellas and a short, with the first release month of royalties from Love in Mission City: The Boyfriend Gamble going to The Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

I’ll let you know if I see where the others go with theirs (I got shut out of the group so I may or may not find out.)

Mine is now up for preorder too – if you are in my “Kaje’s Conversation Corner” Facebook group, you may recognize the beginning of it. Remember Cowboy Dreams? The 9,000 word (ahem) “short” story I posted one Sunday a few years ago, that FB pulled down as “spam” for being too long? Well, the guys wanted more, so I added 27K and it is now a 36,000 word novella. Those who did read the short story will recognize the first chapter, but stick with it, lots more to follow.

This WILL BE WIDE but the preorder is Amazon only

because the preorder time frame is tight.

The book will release on May 22.

Cowboy Dreams

The right man for a longtime cowboy might be a city slicker.

Joe

I’ve been going into Max’s Place for twenty years, but tonight’s different. There’s a stranger at the bar with city-fancy clothes, wide shoulders, and the face of a fallen angel. I’m just an ordinary cowhand. Being gay’s the most noteworthy thing about me, so I don’t expect much. But when his eyes light on mine and he invites me to ride in his classic ’67 Mustang, I figure what the hell. If he’s a serial killer, what a way to go. And if he’s not, then a couple of my cowboy dreams might finally come true.

Sylvester

I grew up here in these Colorado foothills, but I haven’t been back since I was ten. Now I’ve inherited my grandfather’s neglected ranch, and I can’t decide whether to sell it or stay. I stop in at the only gay bar in fifty miles, wondering if I can have a decent life as an out gay man in this county. And there coming in the door is the kind of tall, lean, working cowboy who pushes all my buttons. I don’t know if Joe will be a reason to stay or a one night stand, but I’m going to have fun tonight.

Cowboy Dreams is a 36,000 word novella about two solitary men in their 40s figuring out how unexpectedly well they fit together, in bed and out of it.
