Now that the Autism Auction has ended, it's time to start the TTC AOTM feature once again.
This month I'm thrilled to have Brandon Witt sharing all his great stories with us!
I believe Brandon was a Movie Star in another life, his alter ego is ten kinds of fabulous.
{click here to go to "The Witty Hour" on youtube and meet said alter ego}
This week I'm spotlighting Then the Stars Fall and Under A Sky of Ash.
These are two different stand alone stories, not a series, both are Contemporary MM Romance, one with a Gay for You twist, the other deals with abuse...

The death of his wife four years earlier left Travis Bennett a shell of the man he used to be. With his dog by his side, Travis raises his three children, manages his business, and works as a ranch hand. But every day, every minute, is an aching emptiness.
Wesley Ryan has fond memories of the small Ozark town of El Dorado Springs. Seeing it as a safe place to put his failed relationships behind him, Wesley moves into his grandparents’ old home and takes over the local veterinary clinic. An early morning visit from Travis and his dog stirs feelings that Wesley seeks to push away—the last thing he needs is to fall for a man with baggage and three kids as part of the package.
Life, it seems, has other plans.

More than a decade after leaving Colorado to attend college and escape his past, Isaiah Greene moves back and builds a life in Denver as a special education teacher. When he meets Ben Woods, the mentor of one of his students, the attraction is immediate. The revelations that they’ve both suffered traumatic childhoods form a bond between them.
Raised by an abusive grandmother, Ben is a recovering addict who has made a family with his construction worker boss, Hershel, and Hershel’s husband, Daniel—drag queen ManDonna. Adding Isaiah to his life gives Ben a glimpse of a future he’d never dreamed possible for himself.
Both Isaiah and Ben are survivors, but when guilt drives a wedge between them, the past threatens to end their relationship.
Ben and Isaiah embark on journeys of self-discovery. Though their path will be difficult at times, humor and love find a way to bring light to the darkness.
Author Q&A Part III -
Describe the perfect writing space.
Quite, bright with natural
light from lots of windows. Warm, earthy, rich tones and wood. Lamps and candles. My Harry Potter collection
nearby and my My Little Ponies arranged by my computer. Fish tank, plants, and
my puppy.
Do you do research for your books? If so, what does
that entail?
Most of the time I
do. For my latest release, Under a Sky
of Ash, I didn’t. It was all things I
know through my daily life. However,
with The Imperfection of Swans, which came right before Ash, I had to do a
ton. That story is about a wedding dress
shop and an eating/anxiety disorder. I
spent a couple of days a high-end wedding dress shop and then hours and hours
interviewing about the eating/anxiety disorder.
How many books have you written? Which is your
favorite?
I’ve written nine, but
only seven are published at the moment.
The other two will be out this year.
Of the ones that I have published, I’m most proud of Under a Sky of Ash. They are all very dear to my heart, but that
one poured forth so easily. I’ve never
experienced such ease in story telling before.
Do you hear from your readers much? What do they say?
I do! All of the
time! I love that. They’re always telling me about certain
characters they loved, or chiding me for making them cry, or laughing at
something stupid I did on The Witty Hour.
My readers are amazing. They tell
others about my books and take the time to write reviews on Goodreads and
Amazon. I used to dream about people
reading my books. I can’t believe the
day is finally here!

I just got Under a Sky of Ash and have it queued to read after I finish the book I am currently reading. Had to laugh at the "hates bleu cheese" in Wesley's list...my son is not a picky eater at all, but he detests bleu cheese.
