In all the madness of the world I forgot to mention that Bowerbirds has been re-released. It has an extra epilogue of about a thousand words.  If you bought the first edition send me a copy of the receipt and I’ll send you an updated copy. 

It’s been a strange project going back and reworking these books.  It’s been like looking into amber and seeing a frozen piece of who I was and what my world was like when I was writing.  The me scribbling in a notebook with time to kill on the nightshift seems a million years away from the me trying to find a few minutes of privacy while climbing the walls six weeks into lockdown.

Anyway, I hope you get a chance to either read Empty Nests and Bowerbirds for the first time or enjoy it as a comfort read in these trying times.

Two very different men have a chance at happiness, but only if they can let go of their painful pasts and allow love to take precedence. After spending his teens and twenties raising his son, James Maron is now dating Gabriel Juarez, the wealthy and sophisticated CFO of the TechPrim technology empire. But after a life of proudly holding his head above the poverty line with the ethos of work, priorities, responsibility, and thrift, he is not looking for a Sugar Daddy, he does not need to be rescued, and Gabe’s wealth is as terrifying as feeling love for the first time. Gabe has never been good at balancing his high-pressure job with his relationships. Money usually clears most of the bumps, and when a boyfriend walks away, Gabe figures it’s for a good reason. But James isn’t like other boyfriends. He doesn’t want Gabe’s money for one, and if Gabe wants to keep his relationship together, he will have to finally face the ghosts of his own past and reconsider his priorities.
