I love the Olympics! Winter, summer…they’re both so fun to watch. I have vivid memories of watching Nadia Comaneci win gold in gymnastics in 1976 and Eric Heiden winning four years later for speed skating on ice. I’m in awe of these athletes doing things I wouldn’t dream of even trying for fear of breaking a necessary body part. LOL
If I had to name a favorite winter event, I’d go with figure skating… and hockey. Something about lithe, willowy skaters spinning in tight circles and tough, muscular athletes chasing a tiny puck with surprising grace that gets me. The last time I was on skates was ten years ago at Rockefeller Center with my family and though it was fun, I was as far from graceful on ice as it gets!
I’ll leave the hard stuff to the experts. I’m looking forward to cuddling up with a blanket and a cup of tea, and happily watching the Olympics from my sofa.
Out on the Ice
Two jocks, one secret…
Colby-
I’ve always loved hockey. My childhood dreams of becoming a legend on the ice might not be on track, but that doesn’t mean I want to be an accountant. I don’t. Nor do I want to train the new intern at my stepdad’s firm, who also happens to be in my econ class. That dude is trouble. But trouble shouldn’t look so good…
Sky-
Closet cases are a pain. I should know—I am one. But coming out isn’t an easy option. I’ve burned a lot of bridges during college and I’m not sure I can fix them, but my new job should keep me busy until baseball season starts. Bonus…the hockey jock training me is hot. And supposedly straight. Or is he in the closet too?
Out on the Ice is a low-angst MM romance, bisexual coming out story. When so much more than the final season hangs in the balance, it may be time to risk it all and come out on the ice.

Book of choice from my backlist
In Out on the Ice, Colby and Sky bond by trying to teach each other their respective sports, ice hockey and baseball. Dream time! Which famous athlete would you love to “coach” you in your favorite sport?
Closes February 21st, 7am LONDON
David Beckham
Cristiano Ronaldo
Barry Bonds
Kurt Warner or Tim Tebow. I have so much respect for these 2 men.
I am not good with real athletes, but from your books, I would pick Tennant Rowe.
Kerri Walsh Jennings! It would be amazing to listen to all her experiences. What a fantastic volleyball player and Olympian.
Torrey Mitchell and Scott Hannan—that way I can figure out if I’d be better as a hockey forward or defender…
Max Whitlock 😍
David Beckham. Not that I want to play soccer but…..maybe he could coach me in something lol
Since I’m not into sports at all, unless it’s in a romance book, I’ll say any of the fictional characters in a Lane Hayes or RJ Scott book with sports in it. 🥰
Simone Billes. Not that I could ever be a gymnast but hearing directly from her about her life. All she overcame to make it to the Olympics and discuss her courageous decision in the latest Olympics to step aside for her mental health. Fabulous young lady.
