My fun and sexy Hoale Construction Series is based on a sexy, thirty-something, gay construction company owner with the unfortunate name of Adam Hoale and his mostly gay group of professional associates. Adam’s business partner, Maddy, is a lesbian, his realtor, Mink, is gay, and his big, loveable but angst-ridden dog, Walter, is…well…neutered. The mysteries in the series are tied to the places Adam and his gang flip or rehabilitate and Adam does a fairly decent job both of solving the mysteries and getting on the admittedly twitchy nerves of their friend and hetro cop with a stick up his ass, Detective Craig Clandestine. CC for short. The mysteries are fun, fast paced, and anchored by the on again, off again romance of Adam and his secretly gay lover, Dirk Williams, who is a B-level Hollywood actor.
DeleteIn the freshly released, Oh! Hoaley Night!, Adam goes home for Christmas and finds himself bombarded by a lifetime of insecurities, while having to cope with a spanking new corpse that has his dad’s virtual fingerprints all over it! In addition to the mystery of how the corpse ended up in a manger with a hole in his forehead, the reader gets a glimpse into Adam's life and the things that shaped him into the man he is today, and subsequently has a front row seat to watch Adam grow as a person, a lover, and a son. We also get to witness Adam and Dirk's relationship deepening, as they return to the place where it all began for them and face old insecurities and new revelations. It was an enlightening book to write and I hope it will be a fascinating book to read.
Congratulations Mary Preston! You won the signed copy of A Hoale Lot of Trouble and goodie box. Happy reading!
DeleteThanks everybody for coming out and making the cyber release of this fun new book such a success!
I LOVE THIS SERIES! Please tell me Adam and the gang have more adventures to come.
ReplyDeleteHey Donna! I'll let you in on a little secret...Adam and the gang will be taking on another project soon! The next book, tentatively entitled, By All That’s Hoaley – will release in the first quarter 2014.
DeleteThanks for reading!
This sounds great. What made you decide to center your series around a construction company?
ReplyDeleteHey Sara! A LOT of m/m romances have a cop as one of the heroes, cowboys, billionaires, and school teachers are also big. I wanted to do something different and, let's face it, a guy wearing a tool belt and not much else can be really sexy! LOL The other thing was, when you have an amateur sleuth, he/she has to have a lifestyle that is conducive to stumbling over mysteries. Flipping old houses and rehabbing old buildings is rife with opportunities to find trouble. So Adam Hoale and his construction company were born!
DeleteFun book title. Does it take you long to come up with titles?
ReplyDeletebn100candg at hotmail dot com
Sometimes it does. But the Hoale name really lends itself to fun titles so I haven't had to work very hard to come up with some good ones! #:0)
DeleteCongratulations on your new release!!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to this series, but it sounds fabulous. I agree about the titles. I love the idea of construction. Do you have a real person image of Adam to inspire as you write?
marypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Hey Mary! Great question. There is no real person, but there's definitely a type. I picture a man of average height, well built but not overly muscular, with dark brown, almost black hair and pretty blue eyes surrounded by thick, dark lashes. Adam's a real cutie!
DeletePersonality-wise, Adam's very comfortable with himself, I love that, and he manages stress through humor. He and his friends can get a bit snarky at times. Adam is very loyal to his friends and has a big heart, but he can be a bit of a sap sometimes. LOL I'm so glad you stopped by!
Congrats on your latest release Declan! I'm just realizing I'm a book behind. You already said you already have plans for the next book. Do you have a set number of books you plan for this series or is the number up in the air?

Hey JoAnna!
DeleteI don't have a set number of books in mind, though I don't like to drone on and on in a series. 8 books is the longest series I've ever planned and I could see the Hoale books going to 6 or 8.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
thanks for the fun excerpts and intro to some steamy new books!
