Release - Blame The Fireworks - Novella

Hello Everyone ♪♫♬

My third novella Blame the Fireworks is finally out ! :)

And I'm beyond thrilled to share it with you!

If you'd like to join Harlie and Tabby on a short road trip and find out how two young men find their way to each other you're welcome to read Blame The Fireworks  online or download the free e-versions here :)

Meet Harlie. He thinks he’s too damn awkward to live, maybe a little too shy and, very much to his frustration, simply ‘all knees and elbows’. A walking disaster zone. Tripping up stairs or running into glass doors, that kinda thing. And he’s got the biggest crush on his roommate’s older brother, Tabby, who seems to be completely out of his league. Not only is Tabby beautiful, he’s also elegant and confident, kindhearted and sort of just ‘perfect’.

Tabby knows what he wants out of life, always had, and much to his parents disappointment, he continues pursuing the things that make him happy instead of pleasing them. He lives by mottos such as:
‘Choose kindness and laugh often’, and ‘Do small things with great love’.

When a tragedy strikes, Tabby realizes that life is more fragile than he ever wanted to admit. While he knows what he wants, Tabby isn’t fearless. The thought of losing his friendship with Harlie terrifies him, but imagining all the wonderful things he’s missing out on, if he keeps chickening out, is even more painful.
Perhaps he could talk Harlie into a spontaneous road trip… See if he can overcome his fears?

And if fate is kind enough, he might get a chance at something very, very special.

The story was written for this years Don’t Read in the Closet Event

Love is an Open Road over at the M/M Romance group on the Goodreads website.

I would like to thank everyone for spending time with Tabby and Harlie :)

I hope you had fun hanging out with the boys. Being able to share their story with you guys honestly means the world to me.

I LOVE to hear from you, so don't hesitate to drop me a line!

Happy reading :)

Hugs!

What is Blame The Fireworks about?

Meet Harlie. He thinks he’s too damn awkward to live, maybe a little too shy and, very much to his frustration, simply ‘all knees and elbows’. A walking disaster zone. Tripping up stairs or running into glass doors, that kinda thing. And he’s got the biggest crush on his roommate’s older brother, Tabby, who seems to be completely out of his league. Not only is Tabby beautiful, he’s also elegant and confident, kindhearted and sort of just ‘perfect’.

Tabby knows what he wants out of life, always had, and much to his parents disappointment, he continues pursuing the things that make him happy instead of pleasing them. He lives by mottos such as: 

‘Choose kindness and laugh often’, and ‘Do small things with great love’.

When a tragedy strikes, Tabby realizes that life is more fragile than he ever wanted to admit. While he knows what he wants, Tabby isn’t fearless. The thought of losing his friendship with Harlie terrifies him, but imagining all the wonderful things he’s missing out on, if he keeps chickening out, is even more painful.

I had an amazing time with Harlie and Tabby, and since I didn’t get the chance to explore Tabby’s life much, I would really enjoy doing just that in a sequel. Perhaps with a bit more drama this time. I think, there’s still a lot left to discover for Harlie and Tab :)

I particularly avoided big misunderstandings and drama, because ‘Blame The Fireworks’ 

is supposed to be a sweet, romantic ℒℴѵℯ story for Jessa! 

Simply something to make her smile :) 

The story was written for this years Don’t Read in the Closet Event ➡ Love is an Open Road over at the M/M Romance group on Goodreads.

Inspiration and prompt for Missing Piece

My Pinterest Gallery (Inspiration)

   

And that's what got me started...

Dear Author,

He’d lost everything dear to him in one devastating moment. His family turned their backs on him; his friends no longer took his calls. It was the one moment that he was totally true to himself, the moment he told them that he was in love with another man.

With all of that loss you’d think the universe would be at least a little nice to him… no, the man he loved so dearly and risked everything for was on his couch with the twink from downstairs.

Is it bad that I had a hard time holding in my elation? I have wanted him from the moment I saw him. Could it finally be my time? Could he ever really want me?

Please give us our HEA.

I LOVE to hear from you, so don't hesitate to drop me a line!
