Author Update

On Patreon in March!

I just realized I haven’t talked about my Patreon here! Oops!

So… I have a Patreon account.

There is a free tier, so you can check it out and see how it works. And there are three paid tiers: Pack Members, Supe Crew, and the ‘INN’ Group.

I have a couple of new bonus scenes for Willow Lake Supernaturals, that you currently can’t find anywhere else. Plus my Patreon gets first looks at artwork and Levi & Parker’s story.

The artwork this month: Hayden and Ryley at the pub

The bonus scenes: (1) Ash & Dillon when Dillon tries on his uniform for the first time and (2) Simon & Ogden doing their first walk through of their new home.

Audiobook Update! Preorder now!

A few more retailers have preorder links available for the Willow Lake Supernaturals audiobooks! Yay!

Here is the list I have now:

Hellhounds Never Lie: April 15, 2025 – AMAZON | GOOGLE

Wolves Always Bite: May 27, 2025 – AMAZON | KOBO | GOOGLE

Oracles Always Win: June 24, 2025 – AMAZON | KOBO | GOOGLE

Cats Never Fly: July 22, 2025 – AMAZON | KOBO | BARNES & NOBLE | AUDIOBOOKS.COM | GOOGLE

Preorder Moody as a Minotaur

The preorder is live for Moody as a Minotaur!

This is the first book in the new Willow Lake Pack series, because the quirky supernatural small town of Willow Lake needs more happily-ever-afters! Everything kicks off with Levi and Parker’s story (aka our favorite minotaur and his favorite human)! Yay! They’ve waited so long!

Blurb and cover to come.

Note: This is a fun paranormal romance spin-off from the Willow Lake Supernaturals series. In it, you’ll find a lot of familiar characters but you do not need to read that series before you dive into this one. If you are curious about what happens in Willow Lake Supernaturals, you can start with Hellhounds Never Lie (Book 1).

Characters: Levi and Park

Release date: February 5, 2026 (but this book is expected to release earlier than this!)

Guess what’s happened! Audiobooks!

The first four Willow Lake Supernaturals audiobooks up for preorder! Yay! This is so freaking exciting!

Kirt Graves is narrating all the books.

ARCs available soon!

Hayden’s book (Willow Lake Supernaturals #5) is with my editor now and I should have ARCs available soon! As always, they will be available in a few places. You can sign up for those places now, so that you are ready when the book is posted.

  1. Through Gay Romance Reviews (find it here). You have to apply to be a reviewer.
  2. On Booksprout (find it here). You can follow my profile there and they’ll let you know when the ARC is available.

Find me in more places!

I have been looking into more places to connect with people on the internet. And I’ve been watching to see where the people who are leaving FB end up…

I’m going to be honest, I won’t be able to keep up with all the places on the internet. My brain just isn’t wired that way. And, at the moment, I have no intention of leaving FB because this is where I’ve made the best connections… with you (my readers) and with other authors. I haven’t seen any other app that comes close to that yet.

But I have signed up for a few new apps.

First is MM Wire. It is specifically built as a free place for MM authors and readers to hang out on the Circle app.
It is pretty new and you can find it here: https://themmwire.circle.so/c/mm-romance/
I have a brand new author spot there too: https://themmwire.circle.so/c/lori-ames/
~~~

I also have a new BlueSky profile here: https://bsky.app/profile/loriames.bsky.social

If you know of another fabulous place, let me know. Is it Discord? Something else?

Willow Lake Merch!

I have a store! It has stickers and other fun things! Yay!

You can find it here: https://loriames.myshopify.com/ (or through the link on the navigation bar above)

(Only available in Canada and the US)

There is a 15% off sale until February 15, 2025, if you use the discount code: FunThingsDiscount

I will continue to add to the store, but if you would like something that I currently don’t offer, let me know! The items are through a print-on-demand store, so I am limited by what they have a available. But if it is feasible, I will see what I can do to add it!
