DůO Release Day - OUT NOW!

 


DůO ’ OUT NOW!

This MM Speculative Fiction Novella is a standalone prequel to the ‘ROAM’ series. You do not need to have read the series to enjoy this story.

Blurb:

In the 1980s, two hitmen from Earth are transported to Planet Demonot to work for a secret society of occultists known as the Order of Azoth. Deadly partners, Doyle and Oscar, typically take out targets in the demonic world without questioning their directives, until the night they receive an out-of-the-ordinary mission that opens them up to a multitude of questions and, surprisingly, the multiverse itself. The pair fight demons and their growing feelings for each other as a sinister scheme shakes up the life they’ve grown accustomed to. Will they survive rebelling against an entire clandestine organization or die on the altar of the Order as two dangerous humans the world will never miss?


💫 MM Spec Fic
🌕 Friends to Lovers
💫 Hitmen vs Demons
🌕 Obsessed x Oblivious


Hello, my wonderful reader friends!

I'm so excited to finally release this novella to the world. I previously released this as a Ko-fi serial during 2020 as a way to keep myself and others entertained during that very difficult year. Things are still difficult now in similar and different ways, so I figured the time was right to share this fast-paced MM sci-fi romance with a broader audience.

I hope you all enjoy it! And keep checking back here and on Instagram and Facebook for more updates on projects and releases.

Thank you so much for all of your continued support.

Happy Reading!

❤ Dez

The Dead Oaks: Cursed Asylum - COVER REVEAL!




The title and Cover Reveal for the final book in my YA M/M Paranormal novella series, The Dead Oaks, is here!! Cursed Asylum is now available to add to your TBR list on Goodreads!


In the final installment of the series, The Dead Oaks Paranormal Society is offered the opportunity of a lifetime to compete against several other teams of paranormal investigators on Fright Team TV, a reality television special, for the chance to win a show of their own!

The production takes them on location to one of the most haunted asylums in North America. But even if they survive the horrors of the night, will the temptation of fame and a curse from beyond end up disbanding the Dead Oaks Paranormal Society for good?


I'm doing my best to get this book out to you by mid-Autumn (2020 willing! *fingers crossed*). As always, you can keep up with me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook for updates. Or, join my newsletter to make sure you're always the first to know as soon as a book is released!

The Dead Oaks Series 101


***SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*** The first three books in The Dead Oaks are now 99 cents each! This sale is good through February 5, 2020. However, I am planning on making this the permanent price for all Dead Oaks books soon.

Hi, friends!

If you're new here or haven't had a chance to check out my YA M/M Paranormal series, The Dead Oaks, then you'll find everything you need to get you started in this post. If you're already current on the series and just waiting for the next book then I have good news for you. The fourth, and final, book in the series will be out sometime at the end of 2020!


The Dead Oaks takes place in small-town Connecticut and follows the ghostly adventures of new friends, Jasper Jelinek and Wesley Shain. As they dive into the dark world of paranormal investigation and begin a friends-to-lovers romance, they befriend snarky skeptic, Liv Robles, and eventually adopt more people into their ragtag monster-hunting crew.

Here's what you can expect from each book:


GHOST STORIES
Jasper Jelinek believes in ghosts. Probably more than he believes in himself. After living a life of relative solitude and misanthropy, he suddenly becomes saddled with some unexpected new friends. Their obsession with the paranormal forces them to face the thing they've been avoiding most: Life. Together they learn that there's more to being haunted than just ghost stories.


MIDNIGHT MONSTERS
The Dead Oaks Paranormal Society finds themselves on their first official case. A haunted house seems like a promising place to capture conclusive evidence that the paranormal is real; but like all plans, nothing goes the way that they intend.

Unwanted tagalongs, misunderstandings, and a malicious not-so-ghostly entity all collide to put the strength of Jasper and Wesley's bond to the test. This monster hunting sleepover could end their team, and possibly their lives, faster than they'd come together.


HAUNTED ROAD TRIP
Wesley Shain is college-bound for a life in the theater, just as everyone always expected. Lately, though, he's been thinking paranormal investigation is a better career path. He just needs one weekend to prove it.

A haunted road trip wasn't exactly the romantic getaway Jasper Jelinek had hoped for but with a few friends, ghostly frights, and one steamy summer night, it might turn out to be precisely what his relationship needed.

Haunted Road Trip Release & FAQ

Haunted Road Trip releases tomorrow!


I hope you're excited to rejoin Jasper and Wesley for more haunting adventures with the Dead Oaks Paranormal Society!  There are colonial ghosts, high-stakes auditions, frights, and maybe even a hell hound.




Haunted Road Trip is available in e-book format on Amazon!  You can also add it to your Goodreads reading list.



Here are the answers to some common reader questions so far:

Is this the last book in the Dead Oaks series?

No.  The Dead Oaks will continue with at least one more book after this one!

Will it be available in print?

For now, no.  I have this series enrolled in KDP on Amazon and since they are novellas, I'm planning to wait until the series is complete and then create an omnibus of all of them in print format.  Please don't wait around for that, though.  It will probably be a couple of years before I'm able to put that together.

What are you working on next?

DREAM WEAVER (the final book in the ROAM series) is releasing through NineStar Press on March 9, 2020!  I'm currently in the development process for my next book which I will be referring to as "Secret Novel Project" for the time being.  Be sure to visit my website and sign up for the newsletter to receive updates!

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy Haunted Road Trip!
