I didn’t think a workaholic monster like me had any time for relationships. The handsome marine biologist has me wanting to put my heart on the line. I only care about two my job, and raising my nephew. That last one is no easy feat; just because we’re both kraken shifters doesn’t mean I can always connect to him. Sure, the kid looks like me; our population became monsters decades ago, but I don’t exactly wear that part of my life on my tentacle. Taking him to the Maritime Monsters Institute is my best option. And it certainly has nothing to do with the handsome researcher I meet there. There’s no way an openly gay, smart, hardworking, sexy fellow like Skyler has my pulse racing. I was never a good liar. Between my job and raising a teenager, I couldn’t be a proper boyfriend. I’m no one’s mate. Still, Skyler fits into my life so well. The way he looks at me makes me think he could be interested in a sea monster like me. I was never prepared to be a dad. But dating this gorgeous human could be the biggest change in my monstrous life. Are my tentacles ready for fall for Skyler? “Sea Monster Single Dad” is a spicy male/male monster romance novel. Expect to read about shifter family dynamics, dancing dates, and yes, tentacle intimacy. Part of the Tinsel and Tentacles 3.0 collab series, this novel is also part of the Maritime Monsters series, but can be read on its own, HEA included.

CD Rachels has been coming up with stories since he was little. At first it was all about superheroes and pocket monsters, but his genre of choice has expanded since puberty. He’s been consuming young adult gay fiction since he was a teen, but within the past five years moved up to the big leagues of gay adult romance. In 2020 during quarantine, he burned through more male/male romance books than he ever had in the previous 29 years combined. He lives in New York City with the love of his life and works in health insurance. When he’s not reading and writing, he’s playing board games and practicing music. He is honored to become a self-published author, and if you’re reading this, your support means so much to him that it’s giving him a tingly feeling (in a good way).
