I was delighted and encouraged by the reception Mac and Tony received. I have a weakness for closeted cops with honest hearts, and teachers who speak their minds, and I had fun writing four novels and three freebie short stories in that series.

My first professionally published book, Life Lessons, came out from MLR Press in May 2011. My husband finally convinced me that after all the years of writing for fun, I really should submit something, somewhere. I’ve been writing far longer than I care to admit (*whispers – fifty years*), mostly for my own entertainment, usually M/M romance (with added mystery, fantasy, historical, SciFi…) I also have a few Young Adult stories (some released under the pen name Kira Harp.) Minnesota’s a kind, quiet (if sometimes chilly) place and it’s home. I was born in Montreal but have lived for 30 years in Minnesota, where the two seasons are Snow-removal and Road-repair, where the mosquito is the state bird, and where winter can be breathtakingly beautiful. “Kaje” is pronounced just like “cage” – it’s an old nickname, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. It's a summer of risks and challenges, and working together is the only way they'll make it through.I get asked about my name a lot. He's determined to solve the murder, and still take care of his men on the home front. But when the new sheriff is murdered- and Casey's one of the few with a watertight alibi- he's asked to investigate, and he can't resist.


But good fences won't be enough to keep trouble off the ranch.Ĭasey Barlow left the Sheriff's Department on his own terms, out and proud. He's hired a couple of young ranch hands, and finally feels ready to give back some of the mentoring that turned his life around decades ago. Will Rice was looking forward to a quiet summer, sharing the work with his guys and giving Scott a refuge from the spotlight. But as his men and his hockey team deal with the fallout from fans and paparazzi, moving forward isn't as easy as he'd hoped. There's a reason Scott Edison came out as gay and poly on national TV- now no one can try to push him back into the closet. Three men, one summer of media, mentorship, and murder.
