Bi-Romance
Ex Boyfriend’s Brother
Daddy Kink
Grab it here: https://books2read.com/u/3LkP81
Working for my two married bosses was supposed to be simple—until they set their sights on me.
Ethan is warm and charming. Cole is intense and brooding, not to mention the big brother to my cheating ex.
Together, they’re magnetic—and completely off-limits.
I’m so close to rock bottom, and the last thing I need is a workplace crush. But every stolen glance and teasing remark wears me down, leaving me questioning everything.
They’re my bosses.
They’re married.
This is so wrong, it almost feels right.
But resisting them? That might just be the thing that breaks me.
Two irresistible men. One forbidden connection. And a love that’s anything but simple.

Monday Motivation 
As an author, I often doubt myself. Are my stories good enough? Am I using the right words to convey a scene? Are my characters interesting? Will readers hate my books? And lots of other similar questions that make me spiral into a dark state of mind.
But then there are moments when I read a positive review or comment, see my books climbing a chart, or get a touching email from a reader. And it fills my heart with courage, gratitude and excitement.
Such small things mean the world to me when I doubt myself. Even if my books won't be liked by everyone, I start believing in myself again, and I chase my writing dreams one step at a time. Word by word, chapter by chapter, book by book.
Yeah, there are still days when I wanna give up on writing. But if I'd done it, I never would have gotten so many amazing opportunities.
The most recent of which is being featured in a book box - a dream I've been chasing for a while without getting much traction, but now it is finally becoming a reality.
Thank you to the Midnight Tales Book Box team for featuring my romantasy book Secret Shadows this April. If you want to get it, along with a signed bookplate and some awesome reader swag, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA
Don't ever give up on your dreams, even when it seems like it's pointless. Believe me, I know the feeling. But don't give up! Good things will come if you fight for them. Trust your instincts and believe in your worth.

“People disappear all the time in Germany. We are almost as famous for that as we are for strudel.”
The audio was utterly gripping to me. I think WWII is a common setting in historical fiction but this book focusing on the Olympics and the lead up was refreshing. 
The ending was kind of weird. I can’t say much without spoilers but it just kinda lingered

IT HAPPENED Sorry for shouting, but oh, wow, I'm lost for words to tell you how excited I am about this!
I've been dreaming of being featured in a book box for so long, and when I finally got an offer last year, I had to do my best to keep the secret (which was HARD, I swear
). But now I can finally share that I'm one of the featured authors in the Midnight Tales Book Box this April. Woohoo! 
The book is my romantasy novel Secret Shadows (a retelling of the Ancient Greek Hades & Persephone myth and the legend of how The Underworld was formed). So if you haven't read it yet or you want to get a paperback copy + some awesome swag and a
signed bookplate, now is the perfect chance to get it:https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA
A huge THANK YOU to the Midnight Tales Book Box team and also to my readers. THANK YOU for supporting me and my books through the years and helping me make my writing dreams come true.

thebookcommentary.comThe Book Commentary: Sandusky BurningIn Sandusky Burning, Bryan
W. Conway crafts a tale of unseen chaos amidst the tranquil facade of a
lakeside campground. The narrative follows multiple characters, unraveling the
intermingled lives of seasonal workers and campers at Sandusky Shores. Central
to the plot is Brady Sullivan, a remote worker facing marital issues, who
becomes entangled in a series of escalating incidents ranging from petty theft
to drunken escapades. As the story unfolds, it reveals the darker undercurrents
of addiction, manipulation, and desperation, culminating in a suspenseful
crescendo involving a mysterious fire and a train disaster that force the
characters to confront their fates. Brady just wants to get home to his wife
and kids but is lured into a compromising position; the army vet is blackmailed
with photographs of him and a prostitute. Will he give up government secrets to
save himself and his family as pressure mounts? The characterization in Sandusky Burning is deeply
nuanced. Conway presents a diverse cast, from the beleaguered Brady, struggling
with his identity and marital strife, to Chuck, whose blend of charm and
manipulation reveals a darker side fueled by substance abuse. Conway contrasts
their existential dilemmas with humor and moments of raw vulnerability. Characters
like Viktor and Daniela, the Romanian workers, are layered and intriguing.
The world-building is impeccable, with the campgrounds set
against the train tracks constantly reminding us of underlying tensions and
impending disasters. The contrast between the idyllic summer retreat and the
threat of chaos through the train’s passage heightens the suspense. The
community is characterized by neglect, and the various conflicts
simmer beneath the surface. Personal struggles manifest in communal crises,
highlighting the interconnectedness of the characters’ actions. The external
pressures from their socioeconomic realities amplify their internal struggles,
ultimately leading to a collision of chaos and resolution in a very literal
sense. Bryan W. Conway succeeds in creating vivid characters with weaknesses
that make them authentic and credible. The tension is gripping, and the prose
is exquisite in this suspenseful thriller.

Another book edge painting foray! This one was a lot of fun, but I did learn that it is possible for the gouache to be too thick. Some of it flaked off when I went to go break part the pages and trying to touch it up was NOT fun
