Norian’s Gamble is Out!

By Roger Hyttinen / January 14, 2022

You’ve been hearing me talk about my werewolf novel for the past couple of months. Well, the wait is finally over. Norian’s Gamble is finally out! However, it’s available only on Amazon at the current time. I’m experimenting with their Kindle Unlimited feature, so for the next 90 days, it will be exclusive to Amazon. I’ll most likely publish wide after that — though if the Kindle Unlimited experiment is a success, then I may run it for another 90 days. We’ll see.

Anyway… Norian’s Gamble is the first book in the Wolves of Norbury series. There will not be a continuous plot thread like there was in my Ghost Oracle series. Every novel in the Wolves of Norbury series will stand alone, so you can read them in any order.

Below is the blurb for Norian’s Gamble:

Prince Norian spends his days training with the courtesans and studying his lessons, preparing for the day when he’ll eventually be king. But all that changes one evening when, in an act of spite by a vengeful sorcerer, he’s bitten by a werewolf. As a result, he now bears the curse of the wolf.

When he learns that there’s a haven for werewolves in a town called Norbury, Norian sets out, hoping to find a cure there. What he didn’t count on is the handsome and charismatic Kalen, the current leader of the Norbury pack. Both men are confused by their odd physical reaction to each other until they learn that they just might be each other’s one true mate.

But all thoughts are mating are pushed aside when the sorcerer makes another offensive move, leading Norian to have to make one of the most important decisions he’ll ever have to make — one that will affect Kalen, his kingdom, his new wolf pack, and his very life.

Note: This story contains explicit love scenes between adult males 18 years and older and is intended for mature audiences.

Norian’s Gamble is the first story in the Wolves of Norbury series, taking place in a fictional world where kings still rule, werewolves are real, and sorcerers run amok. Each book in this series is a standalone and will contain no cliffhangers.

Purchase Norian’s Gamble from Amazon (free with Kindle Unlimited)

My New Novella: Christmas Cookies That Sparkle

By Roger Hyttinen / November 28, 2021

I’ve always enjoyed Christmas romance stories and they tend to fill up pretty much my entire December reading list, both books and films which is kind of odd given that I’m not a huge “Christmas person.” So this year, I decided to write a M/M Christmas romance myself. The two main characters for my story, Matthew and Rory, have been bouncing in my head for awhile until I finally brought them to the page in my latest story “Christmas Cookies That Sparkle.”

This is a Christmas 43,000 word novella that follows Matthew who, after being shunned by his parents after he comes out to them and having his heart broken by the boy he loved, runs away from home. After being estranged from his family for four years, they finally find him online and reconnect. They invite him back home for Christmas, which, after a bit of deliberation, he accepts. Though he’s willing to make amends with his parents, he has no intention of ever seeing Rory — the boy who broke his heart— again or will he ever forgive Rory for the hurtful things Rory said to him on the day he broke Matthew’s heart. However, the universe, along with Matthew’s meddling parents and a mysterious older woman who keeps popping up, have different plans for Rory and Matt.

Christmas Cookies That Sparkle is about first love, redemption, second chances and finding your Christmas miracle. I had so much fun writing this story and I’m excited that it’s finally out in the world. It’s funny — I’ve wanted to write a Christmas romance for several years now and have never gotten around to it so I’m so happy I pulled it off this year. I think I may make this a yearly occurrence.

You can buy Christmas Cookies That Sparkle on Amazon — and it’s free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

I wrote a werewolf book!

By Roger Hyttinen / July 22, 2021

A few years ago, I did NaNoWriMo. For those of you who aren’t aware of what this is, it stands for National Novel Writing Month and takes place in November. During this time, people (anyone can join) try to write an entire novel of at least 50,000 words in 30 days. I participated in this a few years back, during which I wrote a gay-themed fantasy novel that follows a group of werewolves.

I set it aside for close to a year, and I finally got around to starting the editing process. I made an entire first pass through it and was quite pleased with the way it was coming along. Well, as luck would have it, I became ill for a bit shortly after that, which was followed by a flurry of doctor visits, hospital visits, medical tests, x-rays, and drastic lifestyle changes. I got so wrapped up in all this that I completely forgot about the novel.

I mean, who forgets that they wrote a book? Apparently, I do.

So there I was, combing through my hard drive in an attempt to do a bit of digital spring cleaning when I came across a Scrivener file entitled, “Werewolf.” I then gave myself a good old-fashioned palm slap to the forehead once I realized what it was. How could I have forgotten? I’d wanted to write a gay werewolf novel for ages, and I was so excited when I finally did it. And then…..it gathered dust in a forgotten computer folder.

Anyway, I read through it last week and really liked what I’d done so far. I was surprised at how far I’d gotten in the editing process. So I resurrected the book and am now once again editing my heart away. I decided to put my Ghost Oracle series (Book 5) aside for a brief moment and instead focus on my werewolves. So hopefully, you should see a new werewolf novel in the coming months, followed shortly thereafter with another Nick Michelson ghost story.

Ghost at the Prom is out!

By Roger Hyttinen / June 24, 2021

It’s Out!

Not to toot my own horn (but I will anyway), the fourth book in my Ghost Oracle Series is out. It’s entitled “Ghost at the Prom” and is available in ebook and paperback format. The blurb is as follows:

At the high school prom, sixteen-year-old psychic medium Nick Michelson notices a frightening ghost who seems to be haunting a boy from another school.
The spirit threatens Nick and warns Nick not to come near him or the boy again.

Nick does a little investigating and discovers that the boy, whose name is Tyler, lost his boyfriend in a drowning accident a year ago. Now Tyler is overcome by grief and apparently is also being haunted by his dead boyfriend.

Nick decides to try to help the two of them and, in the process, uncovers several secrets surrounding the ghost’s untimely demise.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Demon has come to Gallowspine Mountains and has made itself known to Nick. The question is, why?

If you’re not familiar with the series, it follows a sixteen-year-old high school boy named Nick Michelson who has the ability to see ghosts. Using his tarot cards and the assistance of his friends (and boyfriend), he helps the ghosts with their unfinished business and often gets in huge trouble in the process. The books can read as standalone, though this is a recurring plot thread that runs throughout them, which will be tied up in the sixth book.

You shouldn’t have to wait too long for the fifth book in the series as I already have it mostly written. Keep your eye out for it in the next couple of months.

New Book in Ghost Oracle Series

By Roger Hyttinen / January 5, 2018

I have just released Book 3 of the ghost oracle series entitled of “The Magician’s Secret”. The book is available on Amazon, Kobo, Apple iBooks and other online retailers. The book is also available in paperback from Amazon.

The blurb is as follows:

At a stage magic show, sixteen-year-old psychic medium Nick Michelson notices a frightening knife-wielding female ghost standing on stage watching the magician perform his act. Later, she disappears and Nick thinks he’s seen the last of her.

At the beach the next day, a strange girl runs up to Nick and asks him to help her before she is brusquely escorted away by her group leader. After she leaves, the same ghost from the previous night appears before Nick, claims her daughter is innocent and begs Nick to help her. She then vanishes.

Nick later discovers that the ghost’s daughter is accused of her mother’s brutal murder and is locked up at a psychiatric facility awaiting to be tried as an adult. After visiting the young girl at the facility, he reluctantly decides to help prove her innocence.

But why was the ghost at the magic show? And how is the magician tied to the murder of an innocent woman?

As Nick becomes more involved with the girl and her ghostly mother, things only get stranger in the coming days — and more dangerous for him, the magician and the magician’s son. When an attempt is made on Nick’s life, he vows to step away from the situation. But the ghost – and the murderer – aren’t so quick to let Nick get away.

Note: Though this book is part of the Ghost Oracle series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Ghost Oracle Series Book 2 is now available!

By Roger Hyttinen / February 5, 2015

The latest book in my Ghost Oracle series -Anaconda!” is now available on Amazon, iTunes, Nook and Kobo. The series follows the adventures of sixteen year old reluctant psychic Nick Michelson, who tries to assist the various ghosts who come to him for help. Things don’t always go smoothly for our young psychic however, and he oftentimes finds himself in hot water.

In Anaconda!, Nick encounters the frightening ghost of a dead Marine while at the same time trying to figure out if a serial killer is about to go on a rampage at his school.

Here is the blurb:

Just a few short weeks ago, sixteen-year old Nick Michelson discovered that he was a psychic medium destined to help restless spirits cross over to where they belong. One evening while working after-hours at his high school, an especially frightening ghost of a bloody soldier appears to Nick and attacks him. Nick sets out on a quest to learn who the ghost is and why he is haunting Nick’s high school. Using his deck of tarot cards as a tool, he gradually begins to unravels the mystery surrounding the ghost’s death.

Meanwhile, Nick is experiencing disturbing dreams and visions during which he witnesses, through the eyes of a killer, the brutal mass murder of several of his classmates at his high school. As Nick gets drawn deeper and deeper into a web of mysteries surrounding his nightmares and the ghost of the soldier, he begins to suspect that the two are related — and that the horrific scene from his nightmares is actually a premonition of events that may — or will — come to pass.

Nick must solve the riddle of his enigmatic premonitions and race against time to somehow prevent an unknown killer from shooting up his school — and not become the shooter’s first victim in the process.
