<\/p>\nHey folks – bad news, good news \ud83d\ude42 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. <\/p>\n
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<\/i> through December to Nova Ukraine. <\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BTW – Mine is now up for preorder too – if you are in my “Kaje’s Conversation Corner<\/a>” Facebook group, you may recognize the beginning of it. Remember Cowboy Dreams<\/i>? 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. <\/p>\n This WILL BE WIDE but the preorder is Amazon only <\/b> The book will release on May 22.<\/b><\/p>\n Cowboy Dreams<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n The right man for a longtime cowboy might be a city slicker.<\/p>\n Joe<\/i><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Sylvester<\/i><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/i><\/p>\n Amazon preorder : https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cowboy-Dreams-Kaje-Harper-ebook\/dp\/B0F7GTV7NK\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey folks – bad news, good news \ud83d\ude42 You may remember that I was talking about writing a story for a Ukraine charity anthology that was being organized by another author.
