Need More Dragons? Check out this bonus shorts!

Are you all caught up with my Dragons? Myths and Shifts just came out last week, you can grab it on Amazon and free in KU.

Lucky for you this nosy mountain town and kinky group of friends don’t always want to shut up after their stories. Which means I often write bonus content about them. There’s currently 1 free short available for you to read in the Blue Ridge Magic series on my Patreon.

BRM bonus short- free on patreon

Daddies to the Rescue

This short involves most of the subs, plus Fraser and Talon.

Sometimes it’s helpful to have such a nosy, close knit town. Like when Fraser’s aunt hears the subs getting up to something weird in the library and gives him a call.

Click here to see what the subs are up to this time!

While I do already have a list of bonus content ideas from readers about the Blue Ridge Magic series, I’d love to know if there are any specific bonuses you would like to see. Let me know in the comments what the dragon shifters and mages should get up to in a bonus short next time.

Pierce and Merritt are finally here!

My dragons are back in Myths and Shifts, and I can’t wait to show you what they’ve been up to.

Shenanigans…That’s basically what they’ve been up to.

We’ve got naughty little old ladies, a Florida man with some questionable suggestions, and lots of new mates. But we’ve also got sweet mates getting to know each other, lots of little time, and Kenzie being the logical one in the group.

(I know…it’s shocking.)

I was thinking this would be the last book in this series but that didn’t turn out like I expected. (Not a surprise with these guys) We’ve made good progress on a lot of things, though, and they’re all very happy where we’ve left off the issue with the portal.

I’m incredibly excited to see what you think about this book and about the next couple because they’re going to be fun to write about. Feel free to comment here on the site or let me know in an email what you think. You guys always have fun ideas and I’m very curious.

Have fun with Myths and Shifts. Click here if you want to read chapter 1 before you dive in.

Myths and Shifts by MA Innes- Gay Romance Book Cover

Merritt

Chaos. Merritt isn’t sure how the locals have survived without killing themselves, but he’s starting to understand why the fates decided he needed to help with the portal. He’s a nurse. Yes, fate was brilliant with pairing mates and keeping excitable dragons from killing themselves on a regular basis. Luckily for fate and his newfound mate, Merritt is ready for a few changes in his life.

Pierce

Chaos. Pierce isn’t sure how anyone in town survives the chaos they create on a regular basis. As a lawyer nothing should surprise him, but he’s doing his best not to pull his hair out when the fates decide to reward his patience with a precious gift. His mate. His adorable little mate, who luckily for all involved, has fallen in love with the craziness.

When a frustrated lawyer meets a little whose job in life is to save his Daddy from bad manners, two lonely lives will never be the same…and neither will the portal.

Everything is Going Wrong and Translations are Hard (February Past Pages Pt2)

In 2024, I ran a series called ‘Past Pages’ in my reader group. Each month, I’d spotlight past books published during that month – sharing writing secrets, character insights, and the stories behind them. I even opened the floor for questions and comments. This year, I’m bringing ‘Past Pages’ to my blog! Feel free to join the conversation, whether you participated last year, or not. I’m excited to revisit these books with you!

A Whipped Cream Kind of Day- One of Those Days Series Book 5 by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

A Whipped Cream Kind of Day

Remy!

This series was so much fun to write, in general, but I love how Remy finds himself and doesn’t let a bit of drama slow him down.

The One of Those Days series has the best coffee shop with the craziest people in it and that was just so much fun to write about.

This series is about people having just one of those days where everything is going wrong and it’s got a mix of littles and middles, cuties and troublemakers.

All my favorite things lol.

What kind of go to pick me up do you think should’ve gone in this series? We’ve got umbrella drinks, whipped cream, milkshakes, rubber ducks, and dino nuggets.

Oh another question…if I were to go back and do a bonus chapter or short for this series which couple should get a bonus?

Answer in the comments: Do you have any questions for me about A Whipped Cream Kind of Day?

Garrett by Shaw Montgomery - Gay Romance Italian Book Cover

Garrett (Italian edition)

Most authors complain about writing the blurb for a book or picking out the model who should go on the cover. I’ve done that too but I think the biggest pain in the butt is translations.
I love this series in general, but man, going through the process of getting books translated was harder than I imagined.

I’m at the point where I’ve finally found GREAT people to work with but it was a long road to get there.

My starting point with Garrett (and this whole series) was with a publishing company and that was odd. I’m a control freak and not knowing what the cover would look like or when the book would even come out made me just a bit insane.

At one point I said I wasn’t going to do anymore translations because I hated not knowing what was going on, but Nora Phoenix talked me down from the ledge and gave me a lot of good advice. We were at an author convention a couple of years ago and she walked me through self-publishing translations and started me off on a whole new journey.

That was slightly bumpy too but I love where I’ve ended up and this year is packed with new Italian and German translations and I’m so excited for all of them.

Answer in the Comments: If you read in another language other than just English I’d love for you to comment below or feel free to ask questions about the process if you’re curious. Do you have any questions for me about Garrett or translations in general?

My dragons are back.

It took me a while to figure out what they were going to do, but that was mostly because they didn’t know what they were going to do either.

We got lots of ridiculous options and a few highly impractical ones, but Pierce has finally conceded that he’ll need to take control, so we’re making progress.

He’s also making progress because he’s found his sweet little mage mate, Merritt.

These two are so cute together. Pierce is a grumpy lawyer with no patience for shenanigans and Merritt is a nurse who’s thoroughly enjoying the locals’ particular brand of interesting.

I can’t wait to show you what everyone has been up to and how Pierce and Merritt’s relationship progresses.

Myths and Shifts will be live on February 28th and it’s available on preorder now on Amazon and here on my site for early access.

Chaos. Merritt isn’t sure how the locals have survived without killing themselves, but he’s starting to understand why the fates decided he needed to help with the portal. He’s a nurse. Yes, fate was brilliant with pairing mates and keeping excitable dragons from killing themselves on a regular basis.

Naughty Shenanigans and Long Conversations – His to Love Now Available

They’re back!

His to Love is live and I can’t wait to show you what Perry and TC have been up to. Naughty shenanigans and long conversations mostly, but there are a few surprises, and I can’t wait for you to see the ending.

This is technically their last book but I think they’re in a place where we’ll finally see them pop up in other books now. They didn’t really feel ready for that before, at least to me, but I’m curious to see what you think of them now (especially the ending).

So if you have ideas about what kind of stories they’d show up in, or if you have some bonus chapter ideas, let me know.

Have fun with my cuties, and I can’t wait to see what you think, so leave a comment or a review and let me know what they should get up to next.

His to Love by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

Perry knows he can’t avoid his parents’ calls forever, but they keep asking difficult things like what’s he doing and if he’s happy. When their questions are that loaded, is it any wonder he’s avoiding the phone? Unfortunately, TC isn’t seeing it the same way and he’s being just as difficult because he wants to know if Perry’s happy too.

Being happy should not be this stressful.

TC knows he’s got to get Perry functional enough to answer the phone and a few basic questions like if he’s happy and what he sees for their future. Little things like that. Little things that TC thinks he knows the answers to, but if he’s wrong, his life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Being happy should definitely not be this stressful.

Discovering Domination by Shaw Montgomery- FemDom MF Romance Book Cover

Discovering Domination

When I first started writing, I remember pacing around my tiny apartment kitchen and talking to myself. I was listing off all the random things I liked to read that I thought I could come up with ideas for.

Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of kink lol.

Yep, not shocking at all.

Now keep in mind, the only FB account I had back then just had about 5 friends and they were all family. I hardly ever posted on it much less followed anyone. I didn’t even realize people followed authors and talked to them online. I also didn’t know any other authors and didn’t realize until after I’d been writing for a few months that there were groups online where I could meet other authors.

So my list had things like femdom romance ideas and a variety of different kinds of kinks and things like MM and MMF ideas. But I hadn’t seen any MM books on Amazon that were like the books in my head so I started with my femdom ideas.

Yes, I was still learning when I wrote these but I was soooo proud of myself. Discovering Domination wasn’t my first femdom book but I love this cover and these characters. I still get emails every few months from readers who’ve found these books and I keep thinking about going back and writing more books in this genre.

Answer in the Comments: What other genres do you like to read? What questions do you have for me about Discovering Domination?

Bashful - Love and Secrets book 1 by MA Innes - Gay Romance Book Cover

Bashful

My omegas.

I love all these guys but Cutie the Cop is one my favorites. He’s an unconventional alpha and doesn’t really fit in where people want to put him.

Until he meets Austin.

I love how Gideon (Cutie’s real name lol) let’s himself get swept away in Austin’s shenanigans and I love how he’s painfully shy about what makes him special but he doesn’t let that hold him back forever.

Sometimes it’s hard to know when to stop a series or stop writing in a world, but you guys were amazing and made sure I knew you weren’t done with the omegas when the first series came to a stopping point.

If you haven’t read about the omegas start with the Romance and Revolution series (there’s a free prequel on my site) and then come over to this series. It’ll make the most sense that way.

Answer in the Comments: If you have read this series, what kind of character do you want to see next? Any of the side characters who’ve been mentioned catch your eye? Do you have any questions for me about Bashful?
