A Sweet, Happy Ending + Lots of Dirty Talk – The Handyman and The Drama Queen is Now Available on Amazon

Are you ready for some ghostly drama?

The Handyman and The Drama Queen is live on Amazon, and my drama queen and his Dom are very excited to show you how cute they are.

(Stone would also like you to know that he really enjoys getting Ezra wound up and he hopes you enjoy it too.)

Ezra is a drama llama and Stone is the Dom that loves making Ezra even more nuts than he already is. If it distracts his sexy new friend from his worries, well, that’s just a bonus. Another bonus is how much Ezra loves any excuse to complain and rant.

So he’s really doing Ezra a favor.

(That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.)

The Handyman and The Drama Queen is the start to a new paranormal series that’s going to have lots of fun people and interesting relationships. The town is wonderfully nosy and I’m having so much fun getting to know all of them.

Ezra is wonderful but he’s also snarky and dead. This isn’t taken too seriously and they both have questionable sense of humors, so if death jokes and an entire town not taking death that seriously bothers you, then it’s okay to skip this one.

I think they’re cute and I think the book is fluffy with lots of dirty talk…but me and Stone kind of share a sense of humor.

Don’t worry, though, this has a sweet, happy ending and it was so perfect for them that they made me cry. (They’re not supposed to do that. It’s against the rules.)

So have fun with my drama llama and his brat Dom.

I can’t wait to see what you think and see who you think should get a book. I’m kind of curious about the grocery guy myself but I could be talked into learning more about the librarian.

The Handyman and the Drama Queen by Shaw Montgomery

Buy on Amazon

Ezra
Being dead sucks…but it starts looking up when a handsome handyman shows up and can actually see Ezra. Of course, he has to put up with the ridiculous handyman’s teasing and terrible jokes, but Ezra knows dead beggars can’t be choosers. He also knows there’s no way the captivating man is actually interested in a bored dead guy with an attitude problem.

Stone
Being newly dead is probably always difficult…but Stone doesn’t mind helping out the grumpy ghost with a drama problem. Ezra is cute when he’s being ridiculous and there’s just something about the man that pulls Stone in. Sure, they’ve got a few things to work out, but being dead isn’t a deal-breaker. They have enough interesting things in common that Stone knows they can work anything out…even a little problem like death.

When a happy handyman meets a dead drama llama, it’s combustible and complicated, but since love conquers all, they aren’t going to let a little thing like death stand in their way.

Author’s Note: The Handyman and The Drama Queen has one live, slightly take-charge (we know what that means) handyman and one not-so-live drama queen who is very curious about his new friend. This is an irreverent, medium-steam HEA with a new ghost who’s still slightly frustrated by the way he passed on. See the author’s site for more details on the content.

When A Cover Comes First and A Side Character Get Their Story (March 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!

—————

March- 11 total books have been published in March since 2016! Below is the full list by year, click on each title to check out it’s full blurb, keywords, tags, preview the first chapter, and links to purchase. In 2024, I added 1 book to this list!

Submissive Defiance (2016)
Almost Strangers (2017)
Too Close to Hide (2017)
Untouched (2019)
The Only Way To Live (2020)
Wesley (2020)
Bound With You (2021)
His To Dare (2023)
His To Use (2023)
Our Boy (2023)
Daddy’s Little Sunshine (2024)

Let’s take a closer look at 2 of the titles released in the past. Click here to view all Past Pages posts.

His to Dare

The photo on this cover was originally posted by a book cover designer and she was frustrated that she couldn’t do a cover with it because Amazon would never let it up on their site.

I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and quickly said I didn’t need to put it up on Amazon.

Well, one cover turned into a series and then I had to figure out what was going on with the character on the cover.

That was fun lol.

He liked ignoring the obvious in his life and he was definitely kinkier than he was trying to appear.

I love characters like that lol.

I had every intention of finishing this series quickly but life got in the way in several different ways. But I promise I have not forgotten them and I’ve been poking away at their last book.
The big problem now is that Smashwords was sold and is now owned by a new company that says the middle cover is too sexy for Smashwords.

Yep, you read that right. Tushies are too naughty for Smashwords. This timeline is getting weird.

But what do you think? Should the second book have a big censored label down the middle of his butt or should I do a very plain cover for Smashwords and then the sexy one on my site? I’m conflicted and that’s part of what’s distracting me from finishing the third book. Sorry about that.

Answer in the comments: Do you have any questions for me about His to Dare?

—————

Our Boy

This is the second book in the Our Love series and this was an interesting series and release. The jumping off point for this series was Bishop (one of Ian’s partners) when he was a side character in one of the L&L books.

But it took me a while to figure out what was going on with Bishop and who he was meant to be with. Honestly, it wasn’t until some of you guys started telling me about what you thought about him that I realized Bishop needed to partners and Ian would be one of them.

He’s a cute little and has the funniest friends. If you like the drunk nights that the omegas have and that were in some of the L&L books then you’ll love slushy nights with Ian and his friends. In fact, Kenton (one of his friends) is getting his own book and that will be out in April.

So, if you’re looking for a series to dive into that has side characters with their own books these guys would be a good place to start.

Answer in the comments: What was your favorite part about this series? Mine was Bishop and Cohen getting to drive Eli and Roman nuts. Every good sub needs a pony, right? Do you have any questions for me about Our Boy?

BDSM, Dirty Talk, an a Casual, Cheeky Take on Death – Pre-Order The Handyman and The Drama Queen Now

My ghost book…I’ve been calling it that for so long now I have to keep reminding myself it has a real title:

The Handyman and The Drama Queen

It’s now available on preorder and is almost ready to go. It’s part of a new series Myths, Legends, and Southern Charm and I’m so excited to finally show you guys what I’ve been working on.
Ezra is a newly turned ghost who’s just a bit dramatic, cranky, and frustrated at being dead and the way he became dead. He’s also more than a little interested in the new handyman who has been sent around to fix his disaster of a house.

And he’s still claiming the house as his even though he’s dead.

Stone is a handyman with an irreverent sense of humor and a thing for drama queens (and poking at drama queens). So he’s head over heels for the dead cutie with an attitude. He’s also very confused about how Ezra’s house turned out to be so dangerous, but he’s not worried. They can figure it out…while flirting and explaining the birds and the bees of BDSM to Ezra.

This has mild BDSM and lots of dirty talk…it’s also got a very…let’s call it cheeky take on death. I know that isn’t for some of you, but I think it’s fluffy and I think Stone’s death jokes are funny. (They’re also to make Ezra just a little bit nuts because he’s cute when he’s wound up.) But if talking about death and not taking it too seriously is a trigger for you then skip this one.

But don’t worry…this has an HEA even if it’s slightly unconventional and they’re stupidly happy at the end. (It made me cry…several times…stupid characters shouldn’t do that.)

I’m very confused about what triggers to list out, but primarily what I can think of is the Ezra being dead thing and no one taking that as seriously as it should be. He does not die on page. He’s dramatic on page. He’s also very curious about all the crazy in town and all the people he didn’t know were so interesting…like the ladies at the post office and the guy who runs the grocery store…oh and the librarian.

I like the librarian.

But not to fear, Stone’s mother is one of the biggest gossips I’ve ever met and he knows all the good stories around town.

I can’t wait to show you how this turned out and introduce you to Stone and Ezra if you haven’t met them yet on Patreon with the work-in-progress chapters I post there.

Here’s the first chapter of The Handyman and The Drama Queen. Have fun with my dramatic ghost and his cheeky new Dom.

Early Access will go live on March 16th and it will go live on Amazon on the 21st.

Let’s take a closer look at 2 of the titles released in the past. Click here to view all Past Pages posts.

Untouched

Oh, Jay. Jay. Jay.

He was…he was hard to read from the start. I knew there was something different about him but he was standoffish and didn’t answer any questions. (Picture him with his arms folded frowning and almost pouting.)

But that turned out to be because he was really confused about a lot of things. Anything to do with people, really.

The other students on campus were a mystery to him and even in my head he was constantly confused.

I loved writing this series but Jay came from an interesting background. His picture was in the dictionary beside the word “sheltered”.

If you like cuties who are confused by the real world this is your guy. He’s also awkward and kind of nosy and kinkier than he realized. (This one is puppy play.)

This was fun and I think I’m going to have to go back and reread this one soon. I’m curious to poke at him and see what he’s up to.

Answer in the comments: What do you think? Should we get him a bonus chapter? A fun scene to see what he’s up to? If you’re read this one, what would you like to see? Do you have any questions for me about Untouched?

—————

Almost Strangers

I wrote this one with R. Phoenix and that’s always a different process than when I’m writing on my own. My imagination always leans toward sweet and dirty but her imagination is a much more interesting place, and I think the combination always turns out great.

Almost Strangers is about two brothers who are basically strangers to one another. They don’t seem to have anything in common and from the outside looking in it doesn’t seem like they even like one another.

But as the book goes on, we see that they have more in common than they think.

Puppy play and kink.

Two fun things to have in common lol.

Part of the idea for this came from a Human Sexuality class I took in college lol so it was fun to be able to use that in a story.

Answer in the comments: Have you guys read this one? Any questions on what co-writing is like?

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.

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.
