I’m so honored and excited to announce that my book, the #1 bestselling Smoky Mountain Dreams, was a runner-up for Best Bisexual Romance and Best Bisexual Book in the 2015 Rainbow Awards hosted by the amazing Elisa Rolle. This judged annual awards competition not only help to promote LGBT books across all genres, but help to raise funds for LGBT charitable organizations. In 2015 the Rainbow Awards raised over $17,000, going to a variety of LGBT charities worldwide. I couldn’t be prouder to be associated with these awards and to have had Smoky Mountain Dreams do so well overall.
Thank you, Elisa and judges, for your efforts in the LGBT literary community!
Christopher Ryder and Jesse Birch are two men hanging on to the past. While Christopher has let go of his failure as a country singer in Nashville, he’s still trying to please his narrow-minded, non-accepting family. His beloved Gran loves him the way he is, but Christopher feels painfully invisible to everyone else. He’s happy enough performing at the Smoky Mountain Dreams theme park in Tennessee, but even when Christopher is center stage he aches for someone to see the real him.
There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to bisexual Jesse. He’s raising two kids and fighting with family after a tragic accident took his children’s mother. There’s no room in his life for dating, his kids are his priority, and he doesn’t want more than an occasional hook-up. He sure as hell doesn’t want to fall hard for his favorite local singer, but when Christopher walks into his jewelry studio, Jesse hears a new song in his heart.

Después de renunciar a su carrera como cantante de música country en Nashville, Christopher Ryder es feliz actuando en el parque temático Sueños en las Montañas Humeantes de Tennessee. Pero mientras que su querida Nana lo quiere tal y como es, Christopher se siente dolorosamente invisible para el resto del mundo. Incluso cuando está en el centro del escenario, anhela que alguien vea quién realmente es.
El joven bisexual Jesse Birch no tiene tiempo en su vida para salir con nadie. Centrado en la educación de dos niños y peleando constantemente con la familia después de que un trágico accidente le arrebatara a la madre de sus hijos, no siente interés por nada más allá de un polvo ocasional. Entre sus planes no se encuentra de ningún modo enamorarse de su cantante local favorito, pero cuando Christopher entra en su taller de joyería, Jesse escucha una nueva canción en su corazón.
