Road Trip Blog Tour and Giveaway

Congratulations to Sherry Strode!

Sherry, you’re the winner of the Let’s Take a Road Trip giveaway!

Road Trip made its debut on February 11th, and to get the word out, I contacted some amazing sites to help share in the celebration. We took a virtual road trip and checked out some of the places/activities that the boys got up to in the novel.

What’s “Road Trip”?

Road Trip is a gay contemporary romance that follows my character, Boyd Matthis, as he travels across the USA in his brand new ’69 Road Runner with a young man, Oliver, who he meets in Vegas.

Road Trip

by A.F. Henley

For as long as Boyd can remember, he’s been pushing pins into a map. Carson City, Las Vegas, Albuquerque—all places he wants to see, for a dozen different reasons that wouldn’t mean a thing to anyone else. When he finally gets a chance to purchase the ’69 Road Runner of his dreams, at a price that even he can manage, Boyd jumps at the opportunity.

Oliver seems like just another kid with a broken dream when their paths cross in Vegas. Against Boyd’s better judgment, he offers to let Oliver hitch along for the ride when Oliver confides the need to get out and get gone.

But it’s not long before Boyd realizes Oliver’s reasons for running are more complicated—and more dangerous—than Oliver let on. But Boyd doesn’t like people who play hardball, and he definitely doesn’t like people messing with a man who’s managed to light a fuse that Boyd forgot he had.

Road Trip – Upcoming Blog Tour

Road Trip, my upcoming novel, will be released by Less Than Three Press on February 11, 2015. And that means… blog tour time. So I turn to you, my awesome friends, to see if there’s anything you’d like to know about the book, the research, the characters, or the plot.

Feel free to ask me a question and (if I’m able) I’ll answer it in a blog post during the tour.

Look forward to hearing from you!

AF Henley ❤

So, what’s new with you?

I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe it’s October already. What happened to the summer?!

The nights are getting cold, the sun is already starting to hide its face for more hours than it shows it, and I’m not looking forward to what’s about to come my way.

Let’s just say this image —————————–>

is one that I can relate to on spiritual levels.

As much as I love hugs, a happy snowman I am not.

However!

There ARE things to look forward to and that actually is what this post is all about. Though I do appreciate you reading through my mini rant. Thank you. ❤

So, what’s on the horizon? So, so many things, let me tell you what:

OCTOBER:

As some of you are already aware, I’ve started doing month guest posts at Love Bytes Reviews — last month’s post HERE — so, Lord willing and the creek don’t rise (for those that know me, I’ll give you two guesses on where I got *that* gem from) I’ll be back on October 20th with my newest blog, answering a friend’s question on “where I get the ideas for my characters.”

Also — breaking news!! — within the next little while there should be some up and coming information about a joint author chat that I’ll be attending with a certain good friend of mine, for a certain amazing website, on October 31st from 11 pm to midnight… *ghost noises here*. Stay tuned!

NOVEMBER:

The Chase and The Catch releases November 19th (just in time for Christmas presents, folks). I’ve been looking forward to this one making its debut for some time now. The official blurb, purchasing link, and content notes can be found HERE, but for those that don’t want to click through, here’s the ten word summary: An author with nightmares and an actor with an agenda…

Go ahead, click through. After all, The Chase and The Catch is still available with a pre-order discount of 15% until the day before its release. Who doesn’t like to ‘save, save, save’, am I right?

Finally, keep your eyes open for a quick little free read that may or may not be on its way November 1st . (Spoiler: It is.)

DECEMBER:

On December 17th my short story A Beautiful Thing will release in Less Than Three Press’s anthology A Touch of Mistletoe.

It’s a collection about people brought together by the magic of mistletoe, and includes stories from E.E. Ottoman, J.K. Pendragon, Megan Derr, Talya Andor,  and myself. Check out all the details HERE and, once again, save 15% if you pre-order now.

Sounds like a great way to hide from enjoy the holidays to their fullest. 😉

AND FINALLY… 2015:

Road Trip will be released sometime during the first quarter of the new year. It’s a story about a young man with a secret, and a ’69 RoadRunner driven by a closet dreamer. It’s fun, sexy, and surprisingly angst-free. All right, all right, stop dropping to the ground in mock-shock. Yes, I CAN occasionally write without the use of excessive drama. 😉

And NOW… here… the news I’ve been dying to share all along… just because OMG the pretties! Less Than Three Press has accepted my newest manuscript, Baby’s on Fire. It’s a novel about a glam rock star and his fan in 1974. Or is it a novel about a rock star and his not-so-fan in 1994? I’ll let you decide.

Baby’s on Fire was an absolute thrill to write. The words seemed to just fall off my fingers, my beta reader couldn’t say enough about it, and I got to listen to way too much Bowie and Venus in Furs. Speaking of my beta reader… *drum roll*

You know how when you’re reading a thing, and that thing ends up inspiring another thing, and before you know it there are things everywhere? Yeah, that. Hence this bit of beauty right here ———————————————————->>

Is that… why, yes, it is! The official cover for Baby’s on Fire by the talented Raphael! Thank you, buddy. As you already know, I’m in love with what you’ve done with this. <3<3<3

Huge thanks to Less Than Three Press for going above and beyond the call of duty with this cover. <3<3<3

And finally, I’m about 70% through another work in progress,but alas I have this crazy belief about not sharing spoilers for fear of jinxing the story. Okay, I’ll give you one. Spoiler: *growls*

That’s it for now, everyone! Hope you enjoy, and my thanks for your time! 😀

AFH ❤
