July Author of the Month here at TTC Books is VL Locey!

This week the spotlight is on a couple of Locey's Stand Alone stories, Shutdown Pair and Long Change. Hmmmm, I see more sexy mens with Hockey Sticks!

Shutdown Pair - Amazon

Slinging burgers in Minnesota in the dead of winter isn’t exactly the Hemingway lifestyle aspiring writer Heath has dreamed of. About the only thing the quick-witted wordsmith has going for him is his pick-up hockey league games every Saturday. Now it looks like even that’s gone south, along with the team’s AWOL goalie.

That is until mysterious Wyatt Dickenson skates into town and announces that he can tend net. Heath isn’t the type to turn down such a generous offer from a Greek god with impressive equipment and all the right moves.

Heath offers to share his rented room with the enigmatic drifter, and soon begins to suspect that Wyatt is harboring a secret. Can Heath get Wyatt to open up about his dark past? Is there a dark past? Or is Heath’s writer’s mind just spinning sexy, shadowy scenarios about the mystery man who has him so infatuated?

Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here!

Long Change - Amazon

Collegiate superstar goalie Boone Crockett seems to have the world at his feet. He’s rich, handsome, attends an elite college and is a hot prospect for the pros. Pity all that is a front for a deeply closeted and troubled young man.

All Boone’s life plans are shattered when flamboyant ex-figure skater Preston Gordon, an orange-haired twink, shows up to audition for the team’s mascot position wearing sequins, scarves and toe picks. His moves on the ice send Boone into his own pirouette of frustrated and reluctant desire.

As senior year progresses Boone slides deeper and deeper into a dangerous depression, Preston’s sensual strength the only thing he has to hold on to. If Boone can’t keep from plunging through the thin ice he’s skating on, it could take a twink to make the big save.

I'm very intrigued now, and off to add a couple more books to my enormous TBR list. But hey, when you're already in the triple digits, what is 2 more in the big scheme of things?!

V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, belly laughs, yoga, reading and writing lusty tales, walking, Greek mythology, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.)

She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, two Jersey steers, and a flock of assorted domestic fowl.

When not writing lusty tales, she can be found enjoying her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, fresh cup of java in hand.

Q&A with VL Locey Part IIII

How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

I think I counted 14 books on my backlist before July of 2016. Probably the Point Shot Trilogy books because Victor is so different from most of the romance heroes out there.

Do you hear from your readers much? What do they say?

Yes, I do. That's one of the best things about the internet! Generally, most of them are extremely kind and complimentary. It's a pure joy to touch base with readers and hear that they loved your latest book.

Are you working on anything at the present you would like to tell us about?

At the moment I'm probably working on a hockey romance novella and more than likely it's LGBTQ. =D
