***********COMING SOON***********

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 2010

A Brush of Wings (an anthology in print and ebook)

At: Dreamspinner Press
Guardian spirits walk among us. They are heavenly beings who grant courage, unknown benefactors who offer help, best friends who lend their strength, and celestial beings who embody inspiration. You might not recognize these everyday angels, messengers of mercy or celestial beings, but their sacrifices benefit us all. In this anthology, we are looking for stories of men who are touched by purity and light and sometimes blessed by love.

My story: REDEMPTION

Excerpt - HERE

Blurb:

Ziba is a fallen Angel, working as a sponsor of lost men, helping them find genuine repentance after a life of sin. Banished to the Arrivals Hall between worlds, he offers them work during their journey back to a better afterlife. But for him, personally, that option is closed. His position was so exalted, and his sin so great, that he is imprisoned in Arrivals for ever. Until he meets Abdiel, a new arrival: an angel who was also exalted, and also fell from grace - but whose love and self-sacrifice offers both of them a new hope of redemption.

RELEASE DATE: MAY 2010

TOUCH (novella in ebook)

At: Dreamspinner Press

Excerpt - to come!

Blurb:

Chariz is bored of life, his privileged position as Chancellor, his plentiful lovers, his hatred of his royal Mother. When they bring the refugee Oriel to him, he doesn't believe the stories about the young man - that he can make wishes come true. He doesn't *want* to believe. But Oriel fascinates and enchants Chariz, until he believes their need and love for each other can overcome everything else. But he will find there are still shocking sacrifices to be made.

(previously published in a shorter form in the anthology Masquerade)

RELEASE DATE: JULY 2010

WHAT NOT TO WEAR (short in ebook)
At: Torquere Press.

Excerpt - to come!

Blurb: The working week may have started normally for Beckett, but combined with his lover Doug's outrageous choice of T-shirts and even more outrageous libido, their sexual adventures get increasingly risky - and more amusing!

TO BE SCHEDULED ~~

Sweet Summer Sweat (novel) IN EDITS Nov 2009

At: Aspen Mountain Press

Teaser excerpt: to come!

Blurb: Scot and Jerry are young runaways who think they're in love, escaping their home town and families and the persecution of their secret affair, hoping to leave prejudice behind them and find a new life together. Unprepared and naive, they're lost almost at once. Being stranded at a deserted motel is a cliché, but they find it strangely difficult to quit. To say nothing of the eccentric, intoxicating staff, who draw them quickly into a life of rich, easy sensuality. Jerry finds a freedom he hadn't known before - but Scot finds more with the enigmatic Conor, a man he hadn't known before. There are more kinds of heat than the sun; more kinds of pleasure than escape. And a destination that may or may not be their final one.

****SNEAK PREVIEW***

Watch out for my re-issue of the books The Gold Warrior and Twisted Brand in one single volume called BRANDED.
Re-edited and with a new cover! I'm VERY excited about it.

***********CURRENT PROJECTS***********

All subject to change and re-schedule
- my Muse is a volatile master!

True Colors
(shorts) A series of follow-up scenes to the novel.
Ambush and Payback: Miles and Zeke meet late at night in the office, ostensibly to sign the paper work for transferring the gallery back to Zeke. But as might be expected, they get distracted by their attraction to each other.
First Time: Miles wants to be closer than ever to Zeke - and wants to try something new in bed. Zeke is determined to make this first time something special for his lover.

Slow Burn
(novella) Sean Reilly and Joseph D'Marco are the perfect example of opposites attract. Both committed to hunting down a spy in the embassy, both fiercely protective of their professional reputation. But Reilly's a loose cannon, and D'Marco always follows the rules. Their attraction to each other grows slowly and reluctantly, but strongly. Can they work together and - more importantly - find common ground?

Dish of the Day
(novella) Richie's new restaurant is meant to open tonight but his staff are borderline homicidal, half the innovative dishes are ruined and there's no sign of his best friends Brandon and Craig to give support. It's all going to be a disaster. Then Brandon and Craig arrive and confess to Richie things aren't as they seem - both in the restaurant and between the three close friends.

Three Days
(novel) Neal Sutherland and Tanner Mackay had been lovers and fellow intelligence agents. When it all fell apart, both professionally and personally, Mackay took refuge in a trailer park, hiding from his failure and pain. But now his ex-boss Judith has found him. There's a new threat against the agents themselves, and she wants him back into the team. And she needs him to hide one of his colleagues in the meantime. Over the next three days, Tanner's going to have a twenty-four seven houseguest - Neal, the man he thought he'd never have to face again. The man he's sure feels exactly the same in return.

Acting the Part
(novel) Max Sullivan takes a supporting role in a historical romance movie set in England: Jason Rokeby is the English author of the novel it's based on. Max finds Jason cool and mercenary, where Jason finds Max careless and unambitious. They don't think they'll find anything in common but that doesn't stop them being drawn to each other. Besides, neither of them is exactly what they seem...

Fly Me
(novella) A chance accident at the airport brings Stephen and Nate together as friends. Nate envies Stephen his successful, high-flying life, while Stephen envies Nate's laid-back attitude, family life and the chance to date. Both of them treasure their friendship and won't do anything to jeopardise that. But as they support each other through career and relationship troubles, they find it's far more than that. They can't ignore their attraction to each other, or their growing commitment and emotional need for each other.

The Tourist
(novella) As a roaming spirit, Ace enjoys visiting young men to try out new lifestyles, new emotions, new intimacy. It's only unusual because he isn't invited, his hosts don't know he's there - and he doesn't stay around for long. When he jumps in on Dan and Ricky, he finds a relationship in trouble, two men who aren't being honest with each other, and an ex-lover who brings danger. Ace has to decide just how much to take from these men, and how much to give. Maybe this time he'll find a reward that's all his own.

Blinded by Our Eyes
(novel) A murder mystery, set in London's art world. Charles Garrett considers himself a modest gallery owner, sponsoring art - and artists - he admires. But when a shocking murder in his gallery drags him, his staff and and his ex-lover Joseph into its investigation, he discovers he's far more than just an observer. And his discreet personal life is affected, too, when he meets an aggressive, enigmatic sculptor Antony. Is Antony a suspect or a victim? Charles finds himself strongly - and maybe unwisely - attracted.

Just an Illusion
(novel) A paranormal romance. Jude has grown up in the gypsy camp, traveling around the country, putting on variety shows each week to earn their keep in the towns they visit. Abandoned as a child and aggressive, he hides his needs under swagger and casual sex. Then Arte joins the camp, a withdrawn, itinerant magician but with talents that seem to extend beyond stage magic. And Jude finds himself strangely and irrevocably attracted - to the extent that his own secret talents may be revealed.

Light the Fire
(novel sequel to Sparks Fly) Nic pursues new business ventures while Aidan struggles with settling into a relationship. They both have some issues still to work out, including where on earth they're going to live and how they'll deal with the new financial Director with the hots for Nic - and his disruptive nephew as Aidan's assistant.

The Ever-growing list of 'Progress Hopefully Soon' :
* fantasy novella: Tavey is the youngest prince, his family all lost in battle and the remaining soldiers looking to him to lead them. They bring the captured enemy leader to him for execution. Tavey isn't ready for such responsibility nor the surprisingly arrogant slave he inherits - but the world is about to be turned upside down for both of them.
* sequel to True Colors: Red continues to pursue Carter, who keeps him at arms length. But when Red contracts Carter's company to help out with fraudulent activity at his racetracks, they'll need to decide how far they're prepared to go together, personally. Carter will have to let go of the past and Red will have to stop hiding his real self in the present.
* Doubletake (novella): Marcus and Dex have a casual sexual encounter in a bar. But when they meet up again, they find more to attract them than the sex and begin a cautious but enjoyable relationship. It's just that they're both playing their cards so carefully, neither realises exactly what potential they've got for something more.
