Author
Bio:
Called "Queen of the Sweetness" (well, two
or three people said it anyway!) Raine O'Tierney loves writing sweet stories
about first loves, first times, fidelity, forever-endings and...friskiness?
Raine O'Tierney lives outside of Kansas City with
her husband, fellow Dreamspinner Press author, Siôn O'Tierney. When she's not
writing, she's either asleep, or fighting the good fight for intellectual
freedom at her library day job. Raine believes the best thing we can do in life
is be kind to one another, and she enjoys encouraging fellow writers. Writing
for 20+ years (with the last 10 spent on M/M) Raine changes sub-genres to suit
her mood and believes all good stories end sweetly. Contact her if you're
interested in talking about point-and-click adventure games or about which
dachshunds are the best kinds of dachshunds!

Blurb(s):
Twelve-year-old Autumn's world is shattered when her
beloved Great-Pop, Tommy Johnson, suffers a stroke that leaves him comatose.
With everyone around her resigning themselves to the inevitable, Autumn is the
only one not willing to give up. She and Great-Pop have more secret stories to
share with each other, after all. More stories about Roy McMillan—the great
love of Tommy's life whom he lost fifty years ago.
Autumn struggles to keep Great-Pop on this side of
death's door. But how can she compete with the beautiful and mysterious
Valley—a place of surreal magic where the sun never fully sets? Especially when
there's someone familiar in the Valley who will do everything he can to keep
Great-Pop from returning to her.
Excerpt:
But Rook had no interest in waiting for permission.
He’d come forward, snaking his arms around Toren’s sheet-covered waist and
pulling him hard against his body. “It’s just a kiss,” Rook breathed before he
put his lips against Toren’s. Should he protest? Had he protested? Toren couldn’t remember. In that moment there was
nothing but Rook’s firm lips, gently teasing his own apart. Toren kissed back,
tasting the other man, sucking at his bottom lip. Rook’s mouth was
intoxicating, and quite suddenly, Toren forgot why he’d ever resisted. He liked kissing Rook. But after only an
appetizer’s worth of his mouth, Rook pulled away. The sensation of their mouths
pressed together lingered, and Toren was dumb with the moment. Lost on it.
Uncertain what they’d even been talking about.
“Do you remember me now?” Rook asked.
“Mmn,” Toren agreed, warmth lingering on his lips.
“Rook.”
Silence was his reply. The arms around his waist
fell away, leaving him feeling cold.
Toren slowly opened his eyes to find he was standing
alone, clutching his sheet, as Rook walked away from him toward the staircase.
