Love & Strength Excerpt</h2>
<div>
I’ve been up all night, waiting out in front of Jason and Teresa’s apartment ever since I got off work around midnight. Frank, the owner of the College Deli where Teresa works, gave me their address only because I lied and said I was supposed to pick Skylar up but misplaced the directions I had written down. If it had been anyone else, I know he wouldn’t have given that information so freely. Thank God he knows me.<br />
<br />
Last night was such a blur, but when I start to put the pieces back together in my mind, I feel horrible for what poor Skylar must have felt. I’ve texted him on and off since last night and have not gotten a single reply. I’m worried and scared because I know I’ve hurt him deeply. As his husband, I should <i>always</i> be his first source of comfort, instead, I’m the one who's caused him so much pain.<br />

Hip hop dancer, Skylar, is excited about a new job he’s gotten for the summer at a theme park near his home. This is his chance to show his family that he can make money doing what he loves. Skylar wasn’t counting on falling for Ryan, the hot, Australian dancer that he is paired up with, but the pull is too strong for him to fight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ryan is set to go back home to Australia after the park closes at the end of the summer. He didn’t plan on falling in love with his gorgeous dancing partner, but his heart had other ideas. As he and Skylar get closer, their impending separation starts to affect the both of them. </div>

When I'm not writing I like going to concerts. Music is a big part of my life, I've played bass guitar since I was a teen. I love nature and enjoy hiking and working with causes that help protect our planet and wild animals.<br />
<br />
I have loved books all of my life and have always enjoyed escaping the ordinary world by getting lost in a good book. I read a lot of different genres of books but have fallen in love with MM. I support the gay community and hope one day people will see that love is love and that it is a beautiful thing no matter your gender, race or religion.<br />

I am an avid animal lover and have quite a collection of pets in my home. I love ancient history and have studied Alexander the Great as well as Egypt and it’s pharaohs. I also am very interested in angels and have researched them and will put that to use in future books.<br />
<br />
I hope that my readers continue to fall in love with my characters and that my stories touch their lives and bring them happiness.<br />

<span style="color: #990000;">What Christmas means to me by Maggie Lane</span></h2>
<br />
When I was a child we always received most things, we asked for when it was Christmas. When I became a parent, I tended to spoil my children and give them everything I possibly could. But I loved watching them open their presents.<br />
<br />
As they got older and moved out of home, they still came back for Christmas day as I did to my parents. And I still got such a thrill to watch them open their gifts even when they where adults.<br />
<br />
When they moved out of State and Overseas, I stopped enjoying Christmas unless they made it back home with their children and my grandchildren.<br />
<br />
Now I have moved to another Country to be near my Daughter and grandson and closer to my other daughter and 2 granddaughters. Christmas has again become joyful as I have my beautiful family around me.<br />
<br />
So for me Christmas means family and giving. I try to put the toys under the trees in the big shopping malls for those less fortunate than myself and my family, hoping it will bring a small joy and comfort to them.<br />

<br />
· 1 tsp <a href="http://adayincandiland.com/diy-vanilla-extract/">vanilla extract</a><br />
<br />
· 1½ tsp red food coloring<br />
<br />
· ⅔ cup all purpose flour<br />
<br />
· ¼ tsp salt<br />
<br />
· 8-oz cream cheese, room temperature<br />
<br />

<h3>
<b><span style="color: #660000;">Instructions</span></b></h3>
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan or an individual square baking tray with aluminum foil and lightly grease.<br />
<br />
2. In a small, heatproof bowl, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir with a fork until very smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.<br />
<br />
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1½ teasoon vanilla extract and red food coloring. Add in the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth.<br />
<br />
4. Batter should be red. Add flour and salt into the bowl and stir until everything is just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Pour into prepared pan and spread into an even layer.<br />
<br />
5. Prepare cheesecake mixture. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Drop in dollops onto prepared brownie batter. Gently swirl two batters with a butter knife.<br />
<br />
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until brownies and cheesecake are set. A brownie knife inserted into the cheesecake mixture should come out clean and the edges will be lightly browned.<br />
<br />
7. Cool in the pan completely before slicing and decorating. Whip cream to a stiff consistency, place a dollop on top and finish off with a fresh raspberry You may want to put some aside as once they are placed out on the table, thy will be devoured in no time at all.<br />

<br />What inspired me to write Braeton & Drew?</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Braeton was a character in Bryan & Jase. When I first wrote him, his story wasn’t in my mind. But, I fell in love with him, and so did my readers, so I knew I had to tell Braeton’s story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have various friends who have been treated poorly or labeled or what not because people view them as “too gay” or “not gay enough.” I wanted to take Braeton and Drew’s stories and bring them together so that neither man could feel like too much or not enough. Braeton and Drew are definitely opposites in many ways. But their differences work for them. They truly do balance each other very well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of the stories in the Something About Him series have been inspired by or based on real-life people or events. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The free short story, The Beginning, was written for my friend. The story was simply meant to give him a different outcome to an unrequited crush, but he and I both loved the story so much and felt like it could be made into something bigger, so I published The Beginning and got to work on the full-length story Bryan & Jase. (Fans of Bryan and Jase will be thrilled to catch up with the two men in Braeton and Drew’s story).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Brody & Nick was a story that stemmed from a crazy plan a friend had. In reality, the plan wasn’t well thought out and had the potential to crash and burn before it even got off the ground. However, certain parts of the plan and his relationship with his friend made for a great story plot. I took his ill-conceived plan and built it into a great story about love and friendship.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Barrett & Ivan is a story that explores true love beating the odds. The seed for this story came from me wondering about a man (Barrett) who was living with his best friend (Lexie) and loving her brother (Ivan). The differences between Barrett and Ivan are great and, in reality, no one would have guessed they’d end up together. But, over the course of ten years, one kiss Barrett & Ivan shared so long ago keeps them both wondering if there could be more than friendship between them. Ivan has a lot to overcome and he needs Lexie and Barrett to help him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I’m currently working on a story titled Ryker & Gavin. This story is still in its infancy, but beta readers have really enjoyed it so far. Fourteen year age difference, one man is best friends with the other man’s mother, and Mom isn’t exactly on board with the men having a relationship. I’m really enjoying this story so far!</div>

<h2>
Excerpt</h2>
</div>
I noticed there was no list of services with prices like at my comfy little barber shop, which meant I would be paying a pretty penny for this posh-ification. But, if it brought me bigger clients, then it was worth it.<br />
<br />
An attractive, tall, lithe man sauntered toward the front working his electric blue button-up and stylish jeans like a fashion model. Eyeing me from head to toe, he smiled flirtatiously. “Hi there. What can I do for you today?”<br />
<br />
Finding myself mesmerized by his beautiful brown eyes for a moment too long, I stumbled over my words a bit, “Oh, um, hi. I’m supposed to have an appointment with Braeton?”<br />
<br />
“Oh, honey, I’m sure you’d <i>love</i> to have an appointment with me, but I can assure you I’d remember putting <i>you</i> on my schedule. And, sadly, you aren’t there.” He winked. The man was gay, no question about it. I was usually put off by guys who were so much more <i>out there</i> than me, but Braeton was hot and beyond intriguing. I was drawn to him. The last time a guy had made my stomach flutter was in gym class my junior year, but Braeton definitely brought out the butterflies.<br />
<br />
“Well, I spoke to Jodie and she specifically said that Braeton, I mean you, could take care of me.” I felt like I was begging the man to style me, fix me up, polish me. Leaning forward to eye the computer screen, I added, “Could you just check? Humor me a bit? Name’s Andrew Hines.”<br />
<br />
“Believe me, I’d love to take care of you, but like I said…,” Braeton clicked a few times on the keyboard before his mouth opened in disbelief, “how the hell are you on my schedule?”<br />
<br />
“Like I said, Jodie took care of it for me.” I shrugged apologetically.<br />
<br />
“Today just got much better for me. I was expecting someone much less attractive than you, so I’ll have to thank Jodie.” Braeton winked again.</div>

Review</h2>
<div>
<div>
<br />
This is a love story that is so sweet and poignant about two gorgeous guys who are polar opposites. Braeton is flamboyant and outgoing where Drew is more conservative and quiet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was very easy to develop strong bonds with these two characters as each were so sweet in their own ways. I was delighted that the Author brought Bry and Jase into the story as it was great to catch up with what has been happening in their lives.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The story also brought insight into the fact there is still a fair amount of bigotry where same sex couples are concerned. Braeton and Drew are both out and proud and wont let anyone make them feel less than the beautiful people they are.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This love story is well written and the dialogue flows and the plot doesn’t jump all over the place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I would highly recommend this book for any easy read. </div>
</div>

<div>
<div>
<br />
A.D. Ellis spends the majority of her days loving and wrangling two school-aged children and a husband before heading to the inner city of Indiana to teach a challenging group of alternative education students in grades third through sixth. Most days she hits the gym after school in hopes of running and lifting away the stress and headaches of the day before picking up her children and squeezing a whole day’s worth of loving and living into the too-short hours before bed. It’s no wonder Ms. Ellis lives for the slower, easier days she gets to enjoy on breaks from school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Growing up in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. is grateful to her mother for passing along the love of reading. With her nose constantly stuck in a book, Ms. Ellis became accustomed to friends and acquaintances snickering and shaking their heads at her love of reading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A.D. never dreamed of being anything but a teacher, although there are certain times of the year when she laments her career choice. Ms. Ellis had a story idea floating in her head for about a year. After persistent prodding from a friend, A.D. put pen to paper and began writing her first story in October 2013. From that moment on, she was hooked. Taking the people and stories from her head and sharing them with readers is a scary, exhausting, rewarding, and fulfilling experience which A.D. plans to continue until there are no more stories banging around in her mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A.D. Ellis’ work can be found on both iBooks and Amazon. Please contact her on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.</div>

Braeton Reed left his small-minded hometown and disapproving family long ago and never looked back.</div>
<br />
Andrew Hines has nothing against a solid, loving relationship; he just isn’t sure he’ll ever find one.<br />
<br />
Braeton has been told he’s a bit of a diva. Andrew has heard he’s not flashy enough. Can their differences pull them together? Or will these polar opposites allow society to dictate who they are and who they love?<br />
<br />

<div>
<div>
<br />
A.D. Ellis spends the majority of her days loving and wrangling two school-aged children and a husband before heading to the inner city of Indiana to teach a challenging group of alternative education students in grades third through sixth. Most days she hits the gym after school in hopes of running and lifting away the stress and headaches of the day before picking up her children and squeezing a whole day’s worth of loving and living into the too-short hours before bed. It’s no wonder Ms. Ellis lives for the slower, easier days she gets to enjoy on breaks from school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Growing up in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. is grateful to her mother for passing along the love of reading. With her nose constantly stuck in a book, Ms. Ellis became accustomed to friends and acquaintances snickering and shaking their heads at her love of reading.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A.D. never dreamed of being anything but a teacher, although there are certain times of the year when she laments her career choice. Ms. Ellis had a story idea floating in her head for about a year. After persistent prodding from a friend, A.D. put pen to paper and began writing her first story in October 2013. From that moment on, she was hooked. Taking the people and stories from her head and sharing them with readers is a scary, exhausting, rewarding, and fulfilling experience which A.D. plans to continue until there are no more stories banging around in her mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A.D. Ellis’ work can be found on both iBooks and Amazon. Please contact her on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.</div>

Exclusive Guest Post</h2>
<br />
I answered the knock at my dorm room in the late night, pulling open the spring-loaded door. There in an empty hallway stood Andy with his blond hair buzzed tight on the sides and spiked on top. He wore soft flannel pajama bottoms and a loose t-shirt, well, as loose as it could drape on his athletic build. <br />
<br />
“Andy?” I said confused by the late hour and knowing he resided on the floor above. <br />
<br />
He stepped in directly, forcing me back as the door shut behind him. He never laid a hand on me. Never touched me. He just continued to step into my space until I was up against a wall and his face mere inches from mine. <br />
<br />
“Is everything alright?” There was definitely something wrong. <br />
<br />
His pale blue eyes blinked at me with a purpose. He stood his ground. Our eyes locked. He nudged his face at mine stopping short as our noses grazed. <br />
<br />
I gulped. He didn’t speak. He didn’t move. “What’s wrong?” I nervously stroked the spikes of his hair. I didn’t know why. Actually, I did. His hair was soft. I liked it. I had curly and frizzed hair and I envied his was straight and could spike. And how could it be spiked and soft at the same time? So jealous. It wasn’t the first time I touched his hair like that. I had done it before while we hung out, realizing it only too late and how gay that came off. But Andy never said anything and he never pulled away. Just like now. He let me stroke it. He still hadn’t spoken. Didn’t answer any of my questions. He just penetrated me with those baby blues. My heart zigged and zagged. I was completely confused. Then it hit me. The only thing that made sense. I concluded the only reason an attractive guy came to my room in the night in his sleepwear on the weekend my roommate was out of town. I took a sidestep to regain my space and focus. “Are you sleepwalking?” <br />
<br />
He shifted those fierce blues to me and kept them drilling me for a while longer. Then they flushed with exasperation. He turned and left without ever uttering a word or touching me. <br />
<br />
DAMN! <br />
<br />
This scene seems like gold for a romance or erotic novel. Yet, this was the angst and confusion that marred my adolescence and college years. This was a true event in my life. I believe it was the first, but it was definitely not the last, although they all ended the same—me missing a sex session with a hot guy! All of the scenes practically presented like those cheesy situations you see in scripted porn and say, “That would never happen in real life.” <br />
<br />
DAMN DAMN!! <br />
<br />
How could I be so oblivious? Especially, since I had watched plenty of porn. I had shifted from watching straight porn, to bi, to gay. But the difference between the scenarios that unfolded on video and in real life was that the incidents on screen happened between two (or more) hot guys. I never thought of myself as attractive so how could a guy be hitting on me. You see, I was so naive I didn’t even figure out I was gay until after college. All the clues had been there even when I was a kid. I was a comic book fanatic growing up and loved pretty male heroes in skintight costumes. <br />
<br />
DAMN DAMN DAMN!!! <br />
<br />
I also have been a paranormal fanatic since I was a kid. Every show or movie I watched required a monster, alien, or something supernatural. Every Saturday I’d go to the Library (what are those?) and check out books about unexplained mysteries that included: UFO encounters, ghosts, psychic phenomena, bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, and a slew of other cryptids. Since then, my fascination into the unexplained has not altered or wavered. All of this contributed to my self-image of a geek. And this was before being a nerd was considered hot or sexy. I had low self-esteem and confidence so it wasn’t too shocking really that a guy flirting eluded me completely. <br />
<br />
When I decided to write seriously, of course, I chose to write about the supernatural, monsters, and sci-fi! I did write several sex scenes into my stories but cut them later because I felt they were too graphic for the general public. But I really wanted to keep them in the story, but ultimately went with the cut and in the end felt I betrayed myself, my characters, and my story. <br />
<br />
I had heard of romance and erotic novels but writing that was just as taboo as watching or starring in porn. I knew it was looked down upon. Despite that taboo and negativity with the genre it still itched at my brain for years. Then with the advent of the internet it became easier to track trends, and whether the romance/erotica genre gained in popularity or merely continued its reign, it was definitely easier to see now. For the first time, I entertained there could very well be an audience for my stories with sex included. <br />
<br />
Apprehension still gripped me of course. First, really pulling the trigger on putting out an erotic novel knowing that it still isn’t openly well received. Second, doing so in the gay genre. I only really knew of M/F stories. As I explored I did find M/M romance stories that included all the angst I was too familiar with. Albeit, not exactly for the same reasons. But I found myself craving something more. I yearned to combine my two favorite subjects: Porn & Paranormal! And then I discovered the M/M Paranormal Genre filled with shifters: Vampires, Werewolves, Demons & Dragons. <br />
<br />
Eureka! Yet, as fast as I discovered this genre I was struck with another obstacle. I write my stories because I believe I have something new or a unique twist to offer a subject or genre. Most of what I was reading was already done so well by a bunch of fantastic authors. I honestly didn’t think there was anything I could offer better in this shifter arena. There were plenty of amazing dark supernatural sex stories. I put my dilemma on the backburner of my brain and just indulged in these sexy dark stories filled with creatures of the night. The more I read, the more the dark, tortuous elements became more pronounced to me. All filled with shifters. And that’s when it hit me. Something new I could offer the M/M Paranormal Genre. FUN! These stories are excellent, don’t get me wrong. But I missed some of the humor mixed in from shows like Kolchak: The Night Stalker. The relationship and banter between Carl Kolchak and Tony Vincenzo were priceless. Also, I saw an opportunity to present the paranormal to readers that didn’t have to be focused around a vampire or werewolf. And what better way to do it than a group of paranormal investigators that get laid during the quest for answers to unexplained mysteries.<br />
<br />
Thus, The Hard Boys were born. They go on rip-roaring adventures on cases much like the mysteries I grew up reading about in books and in a TV episodic format. I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to revisit the frustrations of my past and repaint them how things could and most likely should have been. As writers, we not only get to relive history but every now and then we get a chance to rewrite it with an opportunity to turn those DAMNs in our life into a HOT DAMN!<br />

Excerpt </h2>
<br />
Ethan Hard and Justin Hard shared the same job.<br />
<br />
They were both fitness models. They were also the nude spokesmodels for the cologne Shred (The fragrance so stimulating people will want to Shred your clothes off).<br />
<br />
Ethan and Justin Hard also shared the same surname. However, they were not related.<br />
<br />
They were both not only dedicated to their hard bodies, but to the hard physiques and cocks of other guys. It would be too easy to predict that Ethan and Justin would shred their clothes for each other and hook-up. Nonetheless, they decided their friendship was more like brothers rather than partners, lovers, or fuck-buddies. So they agreed they would absolutely not have sex with one another. Well, it wasn’t until Justin’s silky cock pulsed out its third load into Ethan’s bare ass that they started to feel more of a kinship than boyfriends.<br />
<br />
Ethan ruffled Justin’s crow-black hair as he plopped down on his chest in exhaustion. “I love your hair, it’s cute.” And it remained soft despite all the hair product forced into it for their photoshoots.<br />
<br />
“Just my hair?”<br />
<br />
“No,” Ethan gave a short laugh. “Of course all of you, duh, we’re models.” He appreciated Justin’s close-cut faded haircut that complimented his strong jaw lines and square chin. “But, no, I love your dick,” he saw in Justin’s dark chocolate eyes this was the compliment he fished for and he could not help but indulge Justin in all things. Ethan did admire Justin’s clean shaven eight-inch cock. Cocks were just cocks for the most part. Ethan had been with plenty of guys for comparison, but Justin’s was definitely pretty. Just like the rest of him. They both had athletic toned bodies with a large vein running the crest of their hard biceps, but Ethan thought that Justin had a more cut chest and abs. Although, his chiseled torso could merely have been augmented by his shiny olive form. He shaved everything. The only hair on his body was on top of his head. His crack was even smooth. Ethan’s butt was smooth as well, but his ass globes were definitely more grabbable and lickable than Justin’s…in his humble opinion. He wished he could lick his own hole. That would be hot!<br />
<br />
Justin pushed himself up so he could stare into Ethan’s blue eyes that had a perpetual smile baked within. They had been best friends since they were kids, and he never grew tired of looking into those baby blues. They were like a warm welcome home. He adored how Ethan looked a little lost without his glasses. He grabbed his onyx square designer frames from the pillow top and put them back on Ethan’s aquiline nose, framing his wide-set eyes. “It was fun fucking those right off. You sure you didn’t feel anything?” Justin’s cock still throbbed inside Ethan.<br />
<br />
“Well, I didn’t cum,” Ethan said more nonchalant than disappointed; his muscular blond peach fuzzed swimmer’s legs swung over Justin’s shoulders. He evaded the question. That was no easy task staring into Justin’s strong brow with thick plucked flat eyebrows. Floating below that strong brow were his deep warm brown eyes that melted his core. And he saw in Justin’s eyes that they searched inside him for something more. This is why they had agreed to be just friends. And they had agreed when one would get weak the other had to be strong. Instead of being in a committed relationship they decided to be committed to having fun, enjoying each other’s company and any other guys that came along for the ride. They were a team.<br />
<br />
Justin’s eyes panned from Ethan’s thin tanned face down that pointed chin he had sucked on. His eyes drifted over his naturally smooth chest he envied with those perked nipples that his fingers never tired of fondling, along his cut torso—he would shower with gentle kisses—that tapered into his lean waist that only made his bubble-butt that more round and full. He traced a peach fuzz line from his belly button—past the veins skimming the surface of his pelvis that he enjoyed running the flat of his tongue along—to Ethan’s semi-hard dick. He’d seen him hard before to know he wasn’t sporting his full six-inches. He also noticed the small golden pubes above his dick were absent of goo. “No, you sure didn’t,” Justin agreed. “But I meant feelings,” he rested on his elbows with his hands cupped at the sides of Ethan’s face, stroking his brilliant round eyebrows that tapered at the end. “Nothing?”<br />
<br />
“No,” he replied not harsh and not truthful. The fact being—even in Ethan’s current helpless position with his ass up and legs dangling in the air—he felt completely safe wrapped in the cocoon of Justin’s muscled body. “But, that doesn’t mean I don’t like you.”<br />
<br />
“Uh huh, well then,” Justin’s dark eyes flashed mischief. “I want my loads back,” he flipped Ethan’s legs off him. He yanked his dick out with a grunt. “Damn, your hole is tight.”<br />
<br />
“Your dick is thick.”<br />
<br />
Justin spun him into doggy-style position. He slapped those beautiful peach colored ass cheeks. He took a firm grip and spread ‘em wide, exposing his swollen pucker from the pounding he gave it along with the three loads he emptied inside without a break. They were both at that age of peak sexual performance, but Justin had always been a spunk blowing machine. Ethan’s leaking ass was proof of that. Justin savored that inflamed billowing winker, it looked like puffy pursed lips puckering up for a kiss, and he loved sucking on guy’s thick lips. He ran his tongue up from Ethan’s smooth ball sac where his cum trickled down. He loved the taste of boy juice, and he loved the taste of his own even more, especially when served on a plate of warm scrotum. He only wished he could suck his own dick. He’d seen plenty of guys on the internet that could do it, and despite being in gymnastics not that long ago in high school, he wasn’t quite able to pull it off. He followed his cum trail up to Ethan’s distended hole. He was loose now. He sucked on his entrance and lapped at it. Pushing his tongue in was no problem as Ethan eagerly shoved back into his mouth. Justin spread him wider and mumbled, “Mmmkay,” in his hole and patted his ass letting Ethan know it was okay to give him the loads back.<br />
<br />
Ethan’s cock was revived with Justin’s chiseled face and strong angled cheek bones buried between his meaty glutes probing and licking his channel. When Justin gave the okay, he was glad he always cleaned himself out before having sex. He pushed hard. He knew there was no shit, but he couldn’t help but cringe a little as he felt Ethan’s massive loads squirt out his hole. The harder he pushed the harder Justin sucked. He heard him gulp and choke on all the cum. Justin continued sucking down the remainder of his loads and tongue fucked Ethan’s pulsing hole, his tongue entering and retreating from Ethan’s anal ring. He let go of one ass cheek and started jerking Ethan’s cock in a fury.<br />
<br />
“Ohhhh,” Ethan moaned. “I can’t take it, put your cock back in me. I’m getting close.”<br />
<br />
“Nuhhhuhhh,” Justin said again from inside his anus. He yanked his face away from his ass, jamming his finger in as a replacement. He positioned his head on the bed under Ethan’s cock and started sucking on his mushroom head as his fist pumped his now fully erect shaft and his other hand pushed up into his prostate.<br />
<br />
Justin’s hot mouth on his cock with his hands working his stick and butt-button shot Ethan’s brain into spasms along with his legs. He couldn’t hold his load anymore. His fingers gripped the sheets, his glasses fogged up, his pelvis hammered Justin’s face, and a gratifying yell exploded from his mouth as his load shot down into Justin’s throat with his balls slapping his square chin. Justin nursed the fresh delivery.<br />
<br />
Okay, so it wasn’t the first time they fucked, but starting now, they would absolutely not have sex with one another.<br />
<br />
The doorbell rang.<br />

<h2>
Excerpt</h2>
<br />
Torrential rain swept across the roof of the house.<br />
<br />
Thunder shook the neighborhood. Lightning fragmented the night sky. The lights of the house flickered. Bolts of electric current oscillated and jumped inside.<br />
<br />
Ethan’s eyeglasses were on the bathroom counter. He stood in the large enclosed stone shower—that spiraled out like a seashell—with his arms up against the tile high above his head, his legs and arms both spread wide forming an X. It looked as though he were getting frisked. And if so, it was a strip search and Justin performed the cavity search.<br />
<br />
Ethan’s naked body quaked from electric surges coursing through his toned body and from Justin’s chiseled form pounding him from behind. Ethan’s ten-inch erection crackled from the little cum that spritzed from his throbbing crown with every thrust of Justin’s thick long member that bore into him. He was just about dry. He stood in a puddle of his previous loads. Justin gyrated his nipples between his thumbs and fingers which drove his ass that much harder onto Justin’s boner. Not that he could have stopped if he wanted to with their alien altered electric cocks.<br />
<br />
That was the point of this fun exercise to begin with. Each time, they tested to see how long they could go. The voltage running through them prevented them both from controlling their muscles. They just fucked relentlessly. The surges kept their cocks feeling between the edge of orgasm and just at the beginning of climax. It was not only a physical test but a mental one as their brains became engulfed in euphoric bliss and was almost impossible to have a rational or clear thought. They gave up doing these lengthy sessions in the bedroom to save laundry and clean-up time, hence the shower scene.<br />
<br />
The fuck frenzy experience wasn’t just beyond pleasurable, but also a game to see who would tap-out first. And that too, was a game within itself. Because once one of them yielded, there was the challenge of actually being able to end it. In order to do that, they had to get to the jar of Brandon’s cum and apply it to their dicks, mainly the one who was plugged in. Right now, that would be Justin. It was usually Justin.<br />
<br />
Justin’s hips flew back and forth in Ethan’s bubbly butt uncontrollably, every muscle popped from his back and backside. Even though he was taller than Ethan he still stood on the balls of his feet driving his fourteen-inch cock (thank you alien abductors) into Ethan’s fluttering velvet hole. Justin’s continuous orgasm drove him delirious. His loads had long filled Ethan and now splattered down his plunging shaft; strings of cum pulled back and forth between his thighs and Ethan’s ass cheeks churning into foam.<br />
<br />
Ethan’s feet came off the tile as Justin raised him up, impaled on the end of his long pulsating cock. Ethan’s pucker kissed Justin’s smooth balls—his feet several inches off the floor. His hands supported the weight of his torso on the stone tile. The lights in the house went out; the bathroom now illuminated by flames from candles (they learned that solution). He slapped his hand against the wall.<br />
<br />
Ethan tapped out.<br />
<br />
Justin heard the slap. He didn’t see because his eyes were squeezed shut in rabid strain and jubilation, his fingers nimbly playing Ethan’s nipples. There were three square cutaway openings at the top of the shower that overlooked the bathroom. In each opening was a jar of Brandon’s insulating juice.<br />
<br />
The key to freedom.<br />
<br />
Ethan’s hand inched up the wall. He couldn’t speak anything audible, not that he could even think of a complete sentence. He just knew he had to get to one of the jars without Justin’s bucking making him miss or push the jar off on the other side (he had three chances to get it right). His feet still dangled in the air, but Justin’s impaling thrusts actually pushed him higher up the wall. Maybe he was helping in his own maddened way. Ethan’s cock jiggled in the air from Justin’s pounding and relentless dry orgasm. Ethan’s hand fumbled the jar; Justin’s throbbing flesh shocking his prostate. His toes curled, his hand tumbled the jar forward toward the bathroom side. Just as it toppled, he slapped it back, sending Brandon’s jarred load down his back. His back muscles directed the cum along his spine, flowing down his V-shape above his muscled buttocks, his glutes ushering the load between his cheeks and into his crack. The jar wedged between Justin’s clenched abs and the top of Ethan’s meaty rump—top down—dripping the remaining contents onto Justin’s pistoning member.<br />
<br />
Justin’s cock slowed inside Ethan as he lowered him back to the ground. Justin finally popped his dick out of Ethan with a long satisfied groan, grabbing the empty jar. His legs wobbled as though he had just finished running a marathon and he collapsed onto the shower floor.<br />
<br />
Ethan’s hole stayed opened on Justin’s departure and deposited the remainder of Justin’s creamy treasure down his leg and to the stone tile. He massaged his sphincter, feeling it close. He took the two remaining jars of essence of Brandon and plopped down next to Justin.<br />
<br />
Ethan Hard and Justin Hard were great friends (not related). They were fitness models and spokesmodels for the most popular selling cologne on the market—Shred. Despite working in New York City they insisted on living in Mysteria, Connecticut so they could pursue another passion of theirs—paranormal research. They set up Enigma Investigations for just that purpose with the help of their best friend Tim Spark whom they lovingly referred to as Sparky. They were eager for another case, but as often happened they were eager to get off too. Which is what brought them to the shower floor and brings us to their next passion—getting laid with hot guys in as many unique ways as possible.<br />
<br />
For them, the spark into supernatural phenomena was delivered by a young couple they brought home one night. The Hard boys insist to this day they were werewolves, or some kind of shifting paranormal entity. Ethan swore he saw one of them change for a moment. Although, it was difficult to get a definite look from over his shoulder as he got hammered on all fours. Justin had asked if he felt the teenager perhaps change inside him. Again, Ethan couldn’t swear since Chance had a big dick to begin with and could only attest to how amazing his flesh felt inside him…and that Chance pounded more than one orgasm out of him. Ethan asked Justin if he noticed any evidence of a transformation in Derek (the ginger he plowed on his back). Justin didn’t observe anything visual other than Derek being a voracious bottom (no complaints). His ass just about fractured his nuts and he left claw marks on his back, which they showed to Sparky later, to which he merely congratulated him on a fantastic fuck job saying they were from fingernails. Yay, Justin! They didn’t even bother mentioning to Sparky about the guttural growls that came out of the couple. Although, truth be told, all four of them let those fly that October night.<br />

Ian Cadena is a native Texan. He splits his time between Austin, TX, and marveling at the Milky Way off-grid from his property in Big Bend, TX.<br />
<div>
<br />
When not concocting fiendish plots or wild adventures for his characters he is most likely throwing his Chihuahua’s ball (Nacho is relentless). When Nacho allows, Ian spends time with his husband, James. He enjoys working out, running, wine, and is something of a foodie.</div>

1. The School of Second Chances</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
One Banshee. One Vampire. One Selkie. And a whole lot of trouble.</h3>
<br />
When a group of mishaps are drawn together at the most prestigious magical school in Scotland, vampires meet banshees, witches meet wolves, and things begin to happen that haven’t happened for an age. For these eight teenagers, turning sixteen has never seemed so terrifying. To learn how to hone their skills, they will discover more secrets lurking behind the shadows of their mythical lives than they ever realised existed. How they survive the school is one thing. How they survive each other will be quite another.<br />

<h2>
<br />Excerpt</h2>
<br />
When Miss Faversham left, they had a few minutes to laugh about Addleberry forest and some of the more obvious rules. No one could understand why anyone would approach a werewolf in full transformation. Even Lane knew it was tantamount to suicide.<br />
<br />
Payson smiled when he saw Lane offering to carry Felicity’s bags to her dormitory room. All their luggage had been taken to their dormitories already. But it seemed Lane had forgotten, because he was smitten with Felicity, or he was smitten and wanted any excuse to spend a little more time with her. Either way, he approved.<br />
<br />
It was nice to see everyone getting along, and the faint blush that came to Felicity’s cheeks. She looked like a girl who had never been appreciated before. After her story of how she’d been bullied, Payson hoped that he and Lane could befriend her and show her that not everyone was a jerk.<br />
<br />
<br />
He was only marginally surprised when he noticed Riley lingering. He stretched and stared enigmatically. Payson almost wondered if he had drifted off into one of his premonitions, until Estelle said goodnight and Riley returned the sentiment.<br />
<br />
Payson decided to stay back to see what was going on, nodding to the twins as they passed, chatting amongst themselves. Then he noticed that Diantha was standing right in front of him, waiting for his attention. When had his instincts been so low as to not notice that sort of approach?<br />
<br />
Before he could answer his own question, he caught Riley’s movement out the corner of his eye, perching on the arm of a sofa as if waiting for him. Then he realised he was almost fixating on Riley. It didn’t make any sense.<br />
<br />
Seeing the future was incredible, but with a bit of a violent streak in his own nature, Payson loved the ability Riley had of using just his voice as a weapon. It was something he envied. All he had were fangs. Nothing new or interesting there.<br />
<br />
But admiration for his gift couldn’t be the only thing drawing him to the boy, could it?<br />
<br />
“Well, we’re here. I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Do you fancy going for a walk with me and exploring a little?” Diantha wondered.<br />
<br />
“That sounds good,” he lied, sensing an ulterior motive. He was far too busy trying to figure out Riley, so he said whatever he had to say to get rid of her.<br />
<br />
To his relief, Diantha smiled and said goodnight before heading off down the corridor that led to the dormitories.<br />
<br />
Now that he was completely alone with Riley, Payson could feel his heart racing and his fangs desperate to make an appearance. He was suddenly starving; like he had never fed before.<br />
<br />
“Thanks for earlier. For taking the heat off me,” he said to the banshee. He couldn’t think properly, but it seemed the right thing to say, and Riley smiled, which sent his stomach into somersaults.<br />
<br />
“I know what it’s like to be different.” Riley shrugged it off, while admitting to a truth that neither of them wanted to face.<br />
<br />
The mix of sensations running through Payson died on impact with those words. Suddenly, his life seemed a whole lot more complicated than it had ever been before. “Yeah, but we’re all different. I hardly thought not dating my best friend would be an issue. And now they all know I’m gay, which I wasn’t planning to broadcast,” he admitted with a sigh of disapproval.<br />
<br />
It was difficult enough being gay at all, at an age when it seemed like the entire high school was dating. Acceptance was more widespread, but there were still the usual bigots and homophobic jibes to face at school. It was the whole reason he hadn’t come out yet and let it be known that his ‘dating’ life was private. That and his ‘tough guy’ manner, thanks to his secret vampire nature, kept them quiet. But now he’d just outed himself and didn’t know why.<br />
<br />
“You would think that, considering I’m a vampire, you’re a banshee, and they’re wizards, it wouldn’t make an ounce of difference who I dated or when.” He sighed, disapproving of the way the world worked.<br />
<br />
Why was it so hard, and why did no one understand? The heart chose who the heart chose, timing be damned. No one could choose who they loved.<br />
<br />
He had tried once to convince himself to love a girl—another vampire; even Diantha—but it was no use. He had always known the truth, and denying it just to be what everyone else thought was normal was stupid. He just hadn’t ever been that interested in anyone. At least, not before Riley. And it had physically hurt him trying to convince himself otherwise. He would never do that again.<br />
<br />
“But it does,” Riley disagreed, much to his surprise. “Being a different magical creature is one thing; it’s something we all share with each other, against the world. But being sixteen and not dating? Even worse, being sixteen and wanting to date other boys? It’s like a crime to the twins.” He shrugged. “I don’t know why they make such a big deal of it, since they’re not dating either and neither of them have to broadcast their interest. But for you and me, it’s different … dating is dangerous to us. Even in our world.”<br />
<br />
He rose from his perch on the sofa arm and stretched again.<br />
<br />
Payson was shocked to sense a bone-weary exhaustion in him. That shouldn’t happen; they hadn’t exchanged blood, so why could he sense Riley’s emotions?<br />
<br />
“Yeah, well, the first one who comments on it is going to get decked,” Payson said, trying to distract himself.<br />
<br />
He didn’t care what anyone thought about him, but if they started having a go, just because he was friends with a girl he didn’t fancy or because he was gay, he would do some damage.<br />

1.5 The Lost and Lonely</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
One orphan boy. One new family. One big secret.</h3>
<br />
Phil always thought his life was going to be chaotic. Orphaned as a child and having grown up in foster care, his boyfriend Logan is the only shining light in his world, along with Phil’s two foster sisters, Ella and Estelle. But when Estelle goes off to a fancy new boarding school, suddenly everything changes. His life won’t always be dark and lonely, but it will no longer be simple, either. When the Sutherland’s enter his life, Phil has to question what secrets he’s willing to keep and where the word ‘magical’ fits into his normal, human life.<br />

<h2>
Excerpt</h2>
<br />
Phil nearly choked on the drag from his cigarette when his phone rang, flashing the Martins’ name on the screen.<br />
<br />
Logan turned from where he was choosing a movie with a look of concern.<br />
<br />
No one ever called him; the only reason he had the phone was so that he could contact Logan and Estelle, now that she was away at boarding school.<br />
<br />
Phil took a deep breath and placed his cigarette on the ashtray on the coffee table. They were downstairs, since Logan’s parents were away on a weekend sailing trip. They wouldn’t be back for two days, so he could leave the confines of Logan’s bedroom and wander the house freely.<br />
<br />
He lifted his mobile carefully. It was the only luxury he’d been allowed, so that his foster parents could get in touch with him if he was supposed to return home for a surprise inspection. Even then, they would send a brief, demanding text. Never a phone call. Yelling at him was fine, apparently, but God forbid his foster folks actually had to talk to him.<br />
<br />
“Hello?” he answered, nervous about what was going to happen.<br />
<br />
“Phil, get home now. The social worker’s coming by in two hours. You have ten minutes to get on the bus. Text us when you do, so we know when to expect you,” his foster father explained before hanging up.<br />
<br />
It gave him no time to argue.<br />
<br />
Phil looked up at Logan, disappointed and upset that their time together was being cut short. “I’m sorry. I have to go,” he apologised, explaining the phone call as he got to his feet and approached his boyfriend on the other side of the room.<br />
<br />
Logan sighed and turned away, looking as disappointed as he felt.<br />
<br />
Phil cupped his face in his hands, not sure there was anything he could say to make it better. “I’ll call as soon as they’ve left. I might be able to get back here tonight,” he said, giving him what little hope he could.<br />
<br />
Logan looked doubtful, but nodded. “I’ll be sitting here, staring at my phone.”<br />
<br />
Phil believed him. He ducked in for a quick kiss, before backing away again. “I better go.”<br />
<br />
Ten minutes after a difficult goodbye, he sat on the bus, texting his foster parents that he was on his way back. Not home. No. That was Logan. Logan was his home, and he was leaving him behind to go somewhere he didn’t want to be. But at least his foster father had sounded angrier with the social worker for the surprise visit than with him for taking off in the dead of night, again.<br />
<br />
Phil walked into the house and went straight up to his room to hide his overnight bag under his bed. He didn’t want anyone finding it if they did a search of his room. It was usually just a cursory check from the doorway, but it wouldn’t look good to have what might look like a runaway bag already packed.<br />
<br />
He headed downstairs after giving his room a quick clean, hiding the cigarettes and ashtray he wasn’t supposed to have. He’d even hidden his art work, just to be extra careful.<br />
<br />
“What’s going on?” Phil wondered as he walked into the living room to find Ella playing with her doll on the sofa. He sat beside her, unsurprised that she snuggled in.<br />
<br />
It had barely been a few days since Estelle had left them for her posh school in Glencoe, so he had no hopes that he and Ella were about to join her.<br />
<br />
“No idea. Just sprang it on us, as if we don’t have other things to do,” his foster mother said.<br />
<br />
The poor excuse for a father patted her shoulder and actually explained. “She called ten minutes before we called you to say that she was coming over. No explanations, no reason. I asked if it had anything to do with Estelle, but she said no. It’s about you two,” he said, actually sounding confused.<br />
<br />
Phil had to admit, he was, too. As far as he could remember, he hadn’t done anything wrong, lately. He had his agreement with his foster parents, so they couldn’t have ratted on him to the social worker, unless they found out some other way.<br />
<br />
“I asked you to come right home because I need your help,” Mister Martin said. “She said you were both to pack your belongings. Everything you have. And anything Estelle might have left behind,” he continued, frowning to himself.<br />
<br />
Immediately, Phil began to panic. Logan was only an hour away, but if he moved or was moved against his will, who knew if he would even get to see him again. And he couldn’t explain that to his foster parents, because they were homophobic.<br />
<br />
With his heart thudding inside his chest, he made his way upstairs and began to pack everything he and Ella owned into two rucksacks that his foster father provided. They were worn and battered, so he guessed they were old junk from the attic. As long as they held his stuff, he didn’t care.<br />
<br />
Phil pulled out his phone while he packed, dialling out to Logan. It was only fair to give him warning.<br />
<br />
“Hey, gorgeous. Are you calling to say you got home? Or, please say that she cancelled?” he answered hopefully.<br />
<br />
“No such luck. Logan…” He sighed and wet his lips, not sure how to say it. “Logan, we’ve been told to pack,” he explained briefly, sure that was all it needed.<br />
<br />
There was silence on the other end, before his boyfriend spoke to fill it. “By who?”<br />
<br />
“My foster dad,” Phil replied, calmly. “He said that’s why we were given two hours’ notice. The social worker told him that Ella and I are to be packed and, if Estelle’s left anything, we’re to take that, too. I don’t know what it means,” he confessed, feeling as if his whole world was falling apart.<br />
<br />
“All I can think is that we’re being moved on,” Phil explained. “Maybe they know the Martins don’t really like us or they’re only after the money, or maybe it’s something I’ve done … I don’t know. I just…” He rubbed his forehead, worried that his life was going to break into pieces.<br />
<br />
“I know, babe,” Logan replied with a deep sigh. “You want me to know that you love me. I know that. And I love you.” He could almost hear Logan’s smile as he talked; probably sad and sweet, with a little pout. “No matter what happens, that won’t change,” he promised.<br />
<br />
“I’ll call you again, if I can, once I know what’s happening,” he vowed in return.<br />
<br />
“Yes. And Phil?” He sounded unsure, so he hummed to let him know he was listening. “If you can, I want to see you tonight. Only if it won’t get you in trouble,” he asked softly.<br />
<br />
“I know. I love you.”<br />
<br />
“Don’t say goodbye,” Logan whispered.<br />
<br />
“I wasn’t planning on it.” Phil hung up before he could start crying.<br />
<br />
He hated living in foster care. If he had a normal family, things like that wouldn’t happen. But he didn’t and he had to get over that.<br />
<br />
With a sigh, he switched off his phone. Some social workers didn’t like getting interrupted by phones, and others thought them a luxury he shouldn’t have. But he’d bought it with money the Martins had given him, and they told him it was his forever, as long as he did chores to earn his monthly bill tariff of only ten quid. It wasn’t a lot, but it was enough to keep in touch with Logan.<br />
<br />
But, if he moved, he would lose even that small luxury.<br />
<br />
Phil slammed his fist into the wall in frustration.<br />
<br />
Life just wasn’t fair.<br />
<br />
<br />

Hi, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My name is Grein Murray and I’m an MM romance writer. I have written the Joshua series as well as the His Fallen Angel and Dancer’s series. I also have a stand alone book called, Capturing Oliver. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I’ve always been intrigued by angels and had done some research about the archangels and fallen angels throughout my life. I added my own twist when my mind started forming the character of Alexander who is a “New Angel. New Angels are angels that were created after the fall of Lucifer/Apollyon. The New Angels work to help humanity as much as they can, but are up against the Fallen Angels. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In the first book, His Fallen Angel, Alexander is captured by a high ranking Fallen Angel but is surprisingly rescued by one of the Fallen, Roman. As Roman does his best to keep Alexander safe, they fall in love. They face a lot of challenges in book one, but even more in Roman’s Vengeance. Alexander is driven to prove his worth and that he can take care of himself, but he and the rest of the New Angels and Elder’s are up against very powerful Fallen. There is an interesting twist that is revealed about the Elder’s and New Angels in Roman’s Vengeance. I hope everyone that reads my books, enjoys them and falls in love with my characters. </div>

Continued unrest with the Fallen means that The Elders and New Angels can never let their guard down. The Fallen are up to something bigger than they were led to believe.<br />
<br />
Roman and Alexander’s bond has grown, but that bond is threatened by Roman’s duties as an Elder. Each time Roman is called away, Alexander experiences nightmares that seem more a reality than just a dream, leaving him on edge around Roman. Are these dreams really an omen of things to come?<br />
<br />
An impending battle looms over The Elders and the New Angels, can they pull together in their first battle together to defeat the Fallen? Can Alexander and Roman overcome the new challenges they face together?<br />

Excerpt</h2>
<br />
“Alexander, you know that’s not true and that I love you, don’t you?” Roman dropped his head down so he was eye level with me.<br />
<br />
I turned my head closer to his chest so I didn’t have to look into his eyes.<br />
<br />
“He also has a nickname for you, Romano.” I closed my eyes tight, hoping to wash away the images that were haunting my mind.<br />
<br />
I felt Roman’s body instantly stiffen under mine.<br />
<br />
His strong arms pulled me away from his warmth. The expression on his face was of terror and anger combined.<br />
<br />
“Alexander, I don’t think these are just random dreams. Corvin used to call me Romano. I never told you that before. I wonder if...” Roman’s words drifted as he worked to put the pieces together of this newfound information I just handed him.<br />
<br />
Roman slid me off of his lap and jumped up from the sofa. He paced back and forth in front of me, running his hands through his hair then stopped and looked down at me. I was sitting with my legs pulled up to my chin, because I felt like collapsing in on myself.<br />
<br />
“Corvin has invaded your dreams.<br />

New Angels are created to protect mankind on Earth but the Fallen are making this task quite difficult. New Angel, Alexander, is assigned to a rapidly declining area to find out what the Fallen are up to—only he lands in the clutches of a beautiful, yet powerful, Fallen Angel. As help comes from an unlikely ally, Alexander isn’t sure if he should trust Roman or not—but what choice does he have? </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
When I'm not writing I like going to concerts. Music is a big part of my life, I've played bass guitar since I was a teen. I love nature and enjoy hiking and working with causes that help protect our planet and wild animals. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have loved books all of my life and have always enjoyed escaping the ordinary world by getting lost in a good book. I read a lot of different genres of books but have fallen in love with MM. I support the gay community and hope one day people will see that love is love and that it is a beautiful thing no matter your gender, race or religion. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am an avid animal lover and have quite a collection of pets in my home. I love ancient history and have studied Alexander the Great as well as Egypt and it’s pharaohs. I also am very interested in angels and have researched them and will put that to use in future books. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope that my readers continue to fall in love with my characters and that my stories touch their lives and bring them happiness.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
“Julio, don’t you want to go out on the boat to fish with Dad and me?” His mom slapped mayo on a tuna salad sandwich and packed it in the cooler.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio stood in the kitchen with his hands on his hips. “I don’t like fishing, it’s yucky. I want to go to Richard’s house and play his new video game.”</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It’s the last day of Dad’s vacation. He wants to spend some time with you before he has to go back to work tomorrow.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He rolled his eyes. Julio knew his mother was trying to use guilt so he would go fishing with them. “I’ve spent time with you and Dad for the whole week of spring break. Why do I have to go today? I’ll see Dad tonight when he comes home and every night after that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Richard’s only going to be here two more weeks.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Julio, you’re fourteen years old, don’t you think it’s time youstopped whining? All right, you can go to Richard’s house and play the new game. Come kiss me good-bye. Dad’s in the garage. Say good-bye to him, and we’ll pick you up at Richard’s house at four.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
His mother continued to make sandwiches.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Thanks, Mom, you’re the best.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She wiped her hands on a kitchen towel. “Does Richard’s mother know you’re coming?” she asked over her shoulder as she put a container of her homemade potato salad into the cooler with the sandwiches.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Yes, she’s making lunch.” He ran over to the counter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Okay, dear.” Julio gave his mother a kiss and a hug and ran out to the garage.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio stood in front of his dad with his hands in the pockets of his jeans. “I’m going to Richard’s. Mom said it was okay.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
His father smiled. “I can’t say I’m not disappointed, but I know I can’t compete against Tomb Raider.” His father was straightening the tackle and packing the fi shing rods in the rear of the Highlander.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio kissed his dad and jogged around the corner to Richard’s.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Richard Kerrigan was Julio’s best friend and the only other gay kid in their school. Naturally, they had gravitated toward one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio and Richard were best buddies. Once, they tried to kiss but they decided that they weren’t that kind of friends. Richard was moving from Oswego to Chicago in two weeks. Julio would lose his best friend. It was the most traumatic event in his young life and made his stomach hurt. After Richard left, Richard promised to call and e-mail. They might connect for a while, but their own lives would get in the way, and their long-distance friendship would disappear. Julio shrugged—What is, is was his motto. But he’d miss Richard. It was going to be lonely being the only gay kid at school. A lot of bullying might come his way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio walked up the path to the yellow house with green shutters and knocked on the door. Mrs. Kerrigan answered, her hair hung partially out of her ponytail, her face appeared flushed, and a sheen</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
of perspiration dripped from her forehead. She wiped her forearm across her brow. “I hope you’re not expecting more than PB&J for lunch today. I’m packing.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“No, Mrs. Kerrigan, PB&J is fi ne. I want to see Richard. We don’t have much time left.” She swept her hand over her forehead again, to brush her red bangs out of her eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“We’ll have you out to Chicago, and Richard can come back tovisit.” She kept glancing at the boxes in the kitchen. She didn’t have time to talk to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Where’s Richard?”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“In the den. I’ll make sandwiches at noon. Julio walked down the stairs to the lower floor of the split- level. Richard remained focused on the TV screen, playing Tomb Raider.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Hey, Julio, check this out.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mrs. Kerrigan served their PB&J and a glass of cold milk in the kitchen. Richard waited for his mom to go back to her packing and whispered to Julio, “If we were at your house, we could play Tomb</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Raider while we ate.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It’s nicer eating at a table. And this way you don’t spill milk on the game controller.” Julio teased Richard about last year’s mishap.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By the end of the afternoon Richard won seven times and he had come close only once. “Score,” Richard said as Julio went down for the last time.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Richard, you’re such a geek.” Julio pouted.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Richard looked up at Julio and said, “Yep.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At four o’clock, Richard’s mother came downstairs and asked Julio, “Could you wait for your mom out on the step? I have to pick up Richard’s dad from work and then we’re going out to dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your mom and dad should be here in a few minutes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“No problem, Mrs. Kerrigan, my parents will be here any minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They’re never late. I have no problem waiting on the step.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Well, good-bye, dear, I’m sure we’ll see you tomorrow. Richard will want to play his new game again.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio walked halfway up the stairs and turned shouting down to the den, “See you tomorrow, Richard.” There was no answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Richard was immersed in the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Of all the things we have to do as a cop, this is the worst,”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Officer Joe Pennetta told his partner, Mike Dolan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dolan straightened his holster.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Yeah. I spoke to the neighbors when we stopped at their house after we tried to make the notifi cation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The neighbors said there was no other family. He’s at the Kerrigan’s house around the corner. The one in the house on the right told me in confidence that the poor kid is gay. There are no foster homes that want to take gay kids around here so he’s headed for the group home over in Fulton. He won’t even be able to stay in the same town, never mind the same school.” Dolan sighed. “Maybe his friend’s parents will take him in.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta turned on to Clover Street. “Maybe…” He doubted that they would get anyone to take the kid except for the County group home. A social worker waited at the stationhouse for Julio. Their job</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
was to notify the survivor and bring the kid in, that was it. But he hated the looks on the people’s faces when he had to break the news.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta and Dolan pulled up to Number Twenty-two Clover Street. A kid sat on the step, crying. The offi cers got out of their vehicle and walked toward the concrete steps that led to the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta, as the senior partner took the lead. “I’m looking for Julio Reyes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The kid sniffled. “That’s me.”</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Had someone else told him about his folks?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Why are you crying?” Dolan wasn’t the most sensitive of men.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“My parents said they’d come for me at four. The Kerrigans had to leave. I think my parents are mad at me because I didn’t want to go fishing today.” Julio wiped his nose with a tissue.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Kid, your parents aren’t coming.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta kicked Dolan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Why? All I did was ask them not to take me fishing. They couldn’t leave me because of that. I kissed them both good-bye.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They didn’t look angry.” Tears poured down Julio’s cheeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Your parents weren’t angry at you.” Pennetta sat down next to him on the step. “There was an accident…”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Are they okay? When can I see them?”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The kid panicked and now he was about to deliver the killing blow.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“They drowned in Lake Ontario in the wake of a fishing trawler.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We sent divers down, but we couldn’t recover the bodies. Do you have anyone you can stay with?” Dolan asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta kicked Dolan again and hissed, “Give the kid a chance to process what we told him.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I should have gone with them. They should have made me go,” Julio shouted in rage, almost hysterical. “Then I’d be with them.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Calm down, kid. There’s nothing you could have done. They’re gone. You have to deal.” Dolan turned toward the squad car.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta scowled at Dolan then turned to the boy. “Your name is Julio, right? We have to take you down to the station house. A social worker will be waiting there, and they’ll help you decide what</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
to do next. It won’t be too bad.” They walked to the squad car, Julio trailing behind them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dolan muttered, “At least I didn’t lie to him. Fulton is going to be awful for a kid like that.” Julio sobbed behind them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pennetta elbowed Dolan. “Give the kid a break. At least let him grieve before he knows what’s in store for him.” He shook his head.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Can I at least pack a bag?” Julio asked amidst his sobs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Yeah, we’ll take you over to your house to get some of your things. Social services will help you deal with the rest of it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
§ § §</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio got into the patrol car and never saw the Kerrigans again.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By the time they held a service for his mom and dad, Richard was in Chicago with his parents, and he was in a home where the boys referred to him as fresh meat. Had the Kerrigans known where they took him? If so, Richard would have at least called. With both his parents and Richard gone, he had no one.<br />

<br />
<b>DISCLAIMER:</b> This is the first book in this series that I've read.<br />
<br />
This book had some good potential, but it fell seriously short. I can see where it was going, somewhere along the lines of Kelly Clemmons Druid's Lodge and Liv Olteano's Leader Murders series. However, it was full of issues that I just couldn't look past. My three rating is for the potential, but if I was judging based on a one off experience, I'd lower that to 2 stars.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I've read A.C. Katt and I can't say I'm inspired to read more. To be honest, it's a personal clash, which is part of why I gave it 3 stars. Her writing style just isn't something that works for me.<br />
<br />
I was told that this story could be read as a standalone. But, that wasn't true. I was lost from page one. A whole page mentioned events that I had no clue about, mentioned people I'd never read/heard about and indicated that the MC Julio has had a huge part in someone else's story. Even the end read as though this was one of those series where you have to follow each book onto the next. There is no way this could be read out of sequence and be understood.<br />
<br />
Perhaps because of this, I was unable to connect with the characters or the story the way I should have.<br />
<br />
For me, there was no chemistry between the MC's, which was disappointing. They never got to know each other or attempted to understand who they were, and I had trouble with Julio's dark past, which was often ignored and minimalised within the plot and the impact that it should have had on him. What I can say is that I did eventually grow to semi-like and become interested in Julio's story. I thought of DNF'ing it at one point around the 20% mark, but after 50% the story took off and began to form something more along the lines of the paranormal world I'd been expecting. That side was a little too thin because it meant there were no physical wolves or transformation.<br />
<br />
In the end, nearly the 70% mark, it began to feel more like Julio felt true affection for Etienne, beyond the whole Mate thing. His feelings for Etienne became more obvious, but it still felt so much like Etienne's only real affection for Julio stemmed from the Mate bond. The fact that we were told that they had been reincarnated countless times to fall in love with each other was more of a “tell” than a “show”. There was no recognition from either of them that these feelings existed between soul to soul.<br />
<br />
The editing needed some work. There were numerous issues, from spelling/grammar, plot gaps and issues with continuity and consistency. There are a whole heck of a lot of info dumps. Unfortunately, just because they're in dialogue form doesn't negate the fact that they are in fact info dumps. This happened continuously throughout the novel – things that we didn't need to know were given paragraphs of explanation, things that were important were ignored or glossed over in little more than a sentence and there were several instances of “explanations” being given in paragraph form, with the amount of detail that makes your head spin.<br />
<br />
There are multiple POV, which didn't work because they didn't really make sense. I understand the importance of having the dual POV of Etienne and Julio – our MC's – but I don't understand the need for the two police officers in the Prologue, or in the many POV of various wolves throughout the story. Not even one of them reads as necessary because they don't tell us anything that we aren't told in the dialogue anyway.<br />
<br />
The writing itself is very choppy. Short, to the point sentences that tell you nothing in any sort of emotive, contemplative, detailed way, in amongst the long, drawn out sentences within the info dumps. It felt so much like the beginning of the story wasn't important, because the author wanted to get straight into the “I have a mate” part.<br />
<br />
There were a lot of issues within the plot, things that made it impossible to understand the story, the characters and the direction the overall series arc was taking. This was mostly because it was impossible to understand what the “world” of these Werewolves of Manhattan were really like, without having experienced the first five books.<br />
<br />
The medical aspects were limited and misinformed in places (as I feel I can say, having spent the majority of my life in hospital). Although, I know how the author did their research since I had hyperlinks to WebMD within my book. A lot of the misinformation or wrong information came from the fact that, as Alpha's, they got special treatment, but it was still frustrating since it wasn't necessary in the first place.<br />
<br />
When it comes to Julio, I found him as our only source of information. Some of that, however, was in the wrong place or already spoiled. The “big secret” that Julio kept for 49% of the story was given away in the blurb. Just...out there, already. It made the final big reveal really disappointing. No one EVER asked for Julio's opinion, compliance or agreement. Ever. Not when planning a wedding, not about where he was going to college, not on where he lived.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The wolf world didn't make sense. If wolves don't have kids naturally, because the majority of them are gay, then that Alpha Bitch – and isn't that just lovely? – is logically the only one who has kids. Sure, let's go with that for now. But if that's true and all she has are girls, then where do all the men come from? How do so many gay male wolves exist? After 36% of everyone being human, we get one sentence of transformation. It just happened in a shimmer and Etienne was a wolf for two seconds! The only other wolf action was a head transformation for less than a page.<br />
~<br />
<br />
Overall, I would have enjoyed the story more if it had been entirely focused on Julio and we were given more of an insight into his life, thoughts, and feelings. He was the only relatable character, though I did feel a small affection for Donal, who was his best friend. I was disappointed that we didn't get to explore his character further or in more detail, as he was a real star.<br />
<br />
I felt like the Mate/Wolf aspect was used to limit the need for a lot of details and explanation. Because the author perhaps thought it was unnecessary, due to it being book 6. Regardless, because I haven't read those previous 5 books, I was left completely in the dark about a lot of the important details.</div>

<br /></div>
The story could have been fantastic – the plot was good, could have gone in a really incredible direction and, with some real attention to the characters, it could have been a tear-jerker, a heart-tugger and a really emotional read that inspired me to care enough to read the next book and go back to read the previous five. Without that detail, there was nothing to make me connect to the characters or the story. For being a werewolf story, we see a wolf once, for two seconds. There is very little real exploration of the “wolf” aspect of the story and I needed more of that.<br />
<br />
So although the potential was huge, the multitude of things that frustrated me and were lacking were even greater. I can see other people enjoying this, as I could have with a little more understanding and description provided for both characters and the world building, but I needed that extra connection. I needed detail, romance, and chemistry. I didn't get that, in the end.</div>

<h2>
<b>Blurb</b></h2>
<br />
Eli is an ancient vampire with an ego the size of a planet and a sex drive to match, but his tumultuous past left him broken, so he hides from humanity and cowers from love, left to endure the crushing guilt that haunts his every waking moment. Even his best friend, Malachi, a ghost who is hopelessly in love with Eli, remains unaware of all that transpired in London. Malachi can never know the truth.<br />
When the Angel Daniyyel pays an unwelcome visit, Eli must face his secrets, secrets that he has tried so long to hide. To make matters worse, a chance encounter with the most beautiful man he has ever seen shatters his beloved isolation, pushing him into the world of the living once more. Something about this strange man seems so familiar, but Eli can’t even remember who he was before he became a vampire, never mind explain the unwanted emotions the enigmatic stranger ignites in his dead heart. So Eli has a choice – return to the world that ruined him, or continue his self-imposed exile with no hope of salvation.<br />

<span lang="EN-GB">Dead Camp Book 1 Excerpt</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
With a sickening wet sound, his body finally broke free of the earth. A cry of agony burst from between his perfect lips and his head fell back against my shoulder. I felt his long eyelashes brush against my neck as his eyes flickered in defiance of the blackness trying to consume him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Stay with me fella, stay with me, we’ll be home in a jiffy.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Home, back to my castle, what the fuck was I thinking? I was out of my little fucking mind. I didn’t know the man. I owed him nothing. I had an Angel in my dining room and a German soldier in my dungeon and to top things off, I lived with a ghost. Yet I still wanted to take him home? No, I was intent on taking him home, I had decided that the moment I saw him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">But why, why should I get involved, why should I tread that path again, the path that could only lead to pain. It always did. And yet, as I held him in my arms I felt it, something inescapable, something that I could not understand, a stirring, a feeling, like something found when all hope of ever finding it had been forgotten. Something complicated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">A tingle of warning trickled up and down my spine making my hair stand on end. I lowered the hunk to the ground, slowly, carefully and whispered into his perfectly shaped ear. “Remain quiet.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">In a flash of lightning speed, I leapt into a tree, clinging with one hand to a thick branch while my legs wrapped around its thick girth. Someone was out there and not just <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mr Fuck Me He’s Perfect</i>. The smell of human, living heart pumping human was unmistakable, that incomparable odour carried on the wind to entice my nostrils and excite my senses, and I was dutifully excited. But there was something else there too, a feint undercurrent, an elusive aftertaste that went beyond sweat and skid-marks, an elusive scent that pricked at my memory, the smell of Demon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I saw him then, a German soldier winding his way through the field of corpses. His uniform, a grey green <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">feldbluse</i> replete with bottle green collar and shoulder straps, made him almost invisible amongst the branches and the sludge. I could not see his face beneath his field cap but I could easily make out the eagle and swastika emblem embroidered on the bottle green cloth and I noted with disgust the Sturmgewehr semi-automatic rifle hanging loosely from his shoulder.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The Nazi stood barely six metres away from my injured future husband. Do not move lovely man, I said to myself, do not move and don’t make a sound and if you can, be still your beating heart, because to me it sounded like a jackhammer pounding through the forest. He was frightened and in pain. His eyes darted everywhere looking for me, desperate for me, pleading for me to drag him out of that Hell.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I saw the agony flash across his face before the sound escaped his lips. My entire body tensed. Too late, the soldier heard his pain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">He was running then, running towards my Adonis in the pit. Without hesitation, I soared through the air and landed with feline grace before him. The soldier fell backwards with a bloodcurdling scream. The rifle landed at my feet and I picked it up, rising to my full magnificent height, slowly and with purpose, relishing every moment of fear that blossomed across the soldiers white features. I snapped the weapon as easily as though it were a twig and threw the shattered weapon at his feet, watching with satisfied relish as he scrabbled backwards in the mud, his mouth curling away from his face as his terror burst from his throat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">“Demon! You are not from the camp. What are you?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">My teeth extended and my eyes flashed black. My Vampire was out. In one swift movement, barely visible to the human eye, I leapt at him, pulling him off the floor with effortless ease, lifting his flailing body high above my head. I threw him with all my might at the nearest tree. His spine snapped with an audible bang as his fragile body wrapped itself backwards around the trunk of the trembling pine, his lifeless body sliding to the ground and my stomach rumbled. Dinner was served.</span></div>

The world is at war, a war determined to involve Eli, whether he likes it or not. Hitler, his dark army of feral vampires, and even the Devil himself, all conspire against Eli, leaving him no choice but to fight back, risking Malachi’s soul in the process.</div>
<div>
Eli is determined to find Ethan’s father, no matter the cost to himself or Malachi, and in a place filled with death and unending cruelty, Eli realizes that some truths should remain buried, and some truths are just too terrible to bear. When the old enemy, demons from Eli’s dark past, find him once more, they reveal a secret so impossible, so terrible, that it pushes Eli to the very edge of his endurance. They took his boyfriend from him once, and the secrets that they reveal about the man he once loved threaten to strip Eli of everything that he holds dear, pushing him to the edge of his sanity.</div>
<div>
Eli thought that he had nothing left to lose, but at Welwelsburg Concentration Camp, he realizes that he was very wrong.<br />

<br />
Three prisoners had died in my block that night, two elderly and one young man not old enough to grow pubes. It sickened me. Never, in all my years, had I witnessed such a callous waste of human life. And then to see my fellow prisoners undressing the dead, striping their cold stiff bodies before my unbelieving eyes horrified me even more, and I clung onto Jakob’s broken body for dear life. All around me the clunk of bodies against wood and concrete. My eyes tried not to see and my ears tried not to hear.</div>
<span lang="EN-GB"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">A cold clammy hand gently caressed my arm and I nearly shot off my shelf in shock. I didn’t scream. I refused to scream.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">“My friend, I’m sorry, my friend, but you must undress him. The rubbish men will be here soon and you must strip him of all clothing before they take him. Please, you must do this for him—they will be less kind than you. Do you understand?”</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">“You don’t want to know, my friend.” His whispered words made every hair on my body stand on end. A sound outside caused him to return to his unsavoury task with renewed urgency. “Quickly, they are here.”</span></span></div>

Already poor Jakob stiffened, and it pained me to hear and feel his bones crack as I gently prised his pale thin body from the clothes. I whispered my apologies into his unhearing ears and I hated my eyes for glancing across his pale dead flesh.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">I lifted his dead naked body into my arms. Emotion, so alien to me, invaded the shrivelled blackness that was my soul, and I knew my eyes betrayed my grief. Emotions made you weak. Emotions made you vulnerable, emotions hurt. And I was hurting. The passing of that human, that mortal man I had known for less than a day, had brought back that affliction from which I had been running from for so very long.</span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">I had only opened my heart to the world again but for the briefest of moments. And already I felt pain.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">Gideon hurt me. He made me feel unloved, unwanted, he made me feel ugly. How I would crave for his touch, how desperate I was for his love, to feel the thrill of his fingers upon my bare flesh, to feel his attraction to me, to feel wanted. But all he ever did was refuse me. Every time I tried to touch him, he turned me away. He was not in the mood, he told me to come back later.</span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Come back later.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">But later never came.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I carried that pale body into the grey wet misery of morning. The sun was trying desperately to penetrate the thick layers of brooding clouds that clung stubbornly over the camp, but the sun was losing. Rain dripped incessantly from the skies, melting the remaining snow into a muddy slush. Grey skies, grey ground, grey people. The camp drained the colour out of everything. Welwelsburg was like me, a vampire, sucking the life out of everything it encountered, sucking away hope and dignity, leaving nothing but pale grey husks clinging to the brink of existence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Two men stood next to a large flatbed trolley. Dead, naked bodies lay crumpled in a pile on top of the trolley, legs and arms sticking out at all angles like some grotesque starfish. I saw children amongst the corpses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Pale white flickering figures surrounded the trolley. Insubstantial wisps of lives spent before their time. The rubbish men looked at me expectantly but I could not move for the sight of those spectral beings and I clutched Jakob’s dead body tightly to my chest, unwilling to relinquish my charge. If I put him on that trolley then he would be dead, another lump of cold meat on the pile. He deserved more than that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The ghostly figures turned to look at me, each one knowing me, seeing me, seeing me see them. And they smiled at me. Cold shivering prickles erupted across my skin as their eyes took me in and they were such kind eyes, such trusting eyes. A figure pushed its way between them, its shadowy form brushing gently against the others as it came to stand before me.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB">As Wewelsburg castle burns, Eli carries Isaiah to safety. So much is lost, Malachi is gone, the Demon from Eli’s terrible past is reborn into a world already at war, and to make matters worse, Gideon is back. Yet, before Eli can even reach the sanctuary of his home, he learns a painful truth about Gideon, the truth of why he left him, and Eli can barely hold onto his own sanity. Eli quickly understands that not everything in life, or death, is black and white, and sometimes to protect the ones we love, we have to make the greatest sacrifice of all.</span></div>

But the road to the truth is paved with the pain of a story that he has to hear, a story that will change his perception of history forever, a story of great love, and a story of two lovers who died to change the world. He does not want to hear it, he does not want to believe it, but if he is to understand who he was, if he is to understand why he was made Vampire, he has no choice but to listen as history unfolds before him.</span></div>

Dead Camp book 3 took me six months to write. It was a tough one to balance, dealing as it is with a particularly contentious period of history. I nearly chickened out. It terrified me. Even though, two years ago when I sat down and planned out the books, it was always there, this idea, this key concept that connects the entire series through to the end. Dare I do it? Dare I connect the dots? I asked so many questions during the first two books, always with the intention of answering them on book three before hurtling you through to the last two books. As I started to write it, I knew that the original concept, the original idea I had for these characters had to follow through, so with a lot of coffee and chocolate, I stuck to my guns and wrote the book that will break open this entire series.<br />
<br />
Am I frightened of the reaction to this book? Hell yes! Many may see this as controversial, but that is not the reason I wrote it. Dead Camp 3 is about love, it’s all about love and the lengths we will go to protect and cherish that love. As the pages of this latest volume in the Dead Saga turn, I will ask you another question. What would you do for love?<br />
<br />
It is my pleasure to present to you an exclusive excerpt from Dead Camp 3 which is only available for Divine Promotions and my wonderful friends Anders, Maggie and Ronni, who have helped me so very much to realise this tour.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Excerpt</span></h2>
<br />
When we first built the Apostolic Palace, the Cappella Magna stood an unassuming chapel of unremarkable stone and marble, but Pope Sixtus IV had a profound love for the renaissance movement, and his restoration work saw the chapel transformed with paintings of the most exquisite beauty. Botticelli, Perugini, Roselli, I met them all. Such was the profound impact of that Pope’s unrelenting search for artistic perfection that the faithful renamed the chapel in his honour, and history would forever know it as the Sistine Chapel.<br />
<br />
Nothing, however, could compare to the genius of its most famed artist, brought to add his unique touch to the chapel in 1508 by the then Pope, Pope Julius II.<br />
<br />
Michelangelo had a knack for making me laugh, and he turned out to be one hell of a good lover, passionate when I needed him to be, rough when I demanded it. He called me his muse, and there is much of me, or at least parts of me, scattered throughout his work. I used to stand and watch him paint for hours. I never tired of the sight of his muscles twitching beneath the fine olive skin of his arms as his brush danced across a canvas or caressed stone. He was a true Master, in every way that I needed him to be, but as with all those who crossed my path and dared to love me, I broke his heart, too.<br />
<br />
I walked into the Sistine Chapel—the last time I would do so for many years—to the sound of whistling from the top of the huge scaffolding standing in the middle of the space. My Maestro lay up there, painting his magic onto the ceiling, creating a blaze of exquisite colour with every stroke of his brush. I smiled and climbed up the wooden structure with ease.<br />
<br />
Michelangelo lay flat on his back, brush in one hand, and a wooden palette in the other.<br />
<br />
“What are you so fucking cheerful about painter man?” He liked it when I called him that. It never failed to make him smirk, and he really did have one hell of a sexy smirk.<br />
<br />
“I’m doing it, Gideon, I said I would.”<br />
<br />
“You little fucking shit, let me see.” I crawled onto the platform and shimmied over to lie beside him. Above me, flesh already vividly realised, I saw two fingers painted with such perfection, two fingers reaching out across the void with the germ of a spark between them.<br />
<br />
“The creation of Adam.”<br />
<br />
I started to laugh—I really couldn’t help myself. That’s what I loved about him the most, his insane ability to make me laugh, a pleasure long forgotten in my bitter past.<br />
<br />
“You fucking shit, why would you paint that cunt on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?”<br />
<br />
“Language, Gideon, what would God say?”<br />
<br />
“Fuck God, he’s fucked me over enough, thank you very much.”<br />
<br />
Michelangelo laughed, and I turned over and rammed my tongue down his throat, pushing my length into his open mouth until his own wet organ embraced my tongue.<br />
<br />
“Do you kiss God with that foul mouth of yours?”<br />
<br />
“Shut the fuck up, painter man, and answer my question.”<br />
<br />
“Well, you see that finger there? Well that’s my finger, and originally the other finger was going to be your ass hole, but somehow I didn’t think his Holiness would approve.”<br />
<br />
My laughter shook the platform, and I couldn’t help slapping the wood surface with my hand, it made me laugh so hard.<br />
<br />
“Hey, muscles, do you mind? You might be immortal, but if this bloody thing collapses I’m screwed.”<br />
<br />
I turned to face him, my handsome, rugged painter.<br />
<br />
“Then I would have to turn you.”<br />
<br />
“Hey, the only thing I want to see turned is your ass. Stay still, I want to try something.”<br />
<br />
Before I could say anything, Michelangelo shimmed down the deck and started to pull my already stiffening cock from my bulging linen trousers.<br />
<br />
“What the fuck…ahh!”<br />
<br />
His mouth wrapped around the girth of my cock, and his tongue flicked across its throbbing head, and I brought both of my hands to grip the top of his head, ramming my length deep into his throat.<br />
<br />
Michelangelo took my hands away from the top of his head, holding them either side of my waist as he continued to swallow me, his warm, wet mouth moving up and down my shaft in long, deliberate strokes that made me gasp. His movement began to gain momentum, his tongue frantic against my head, licking, sucking, spit running thick down my cock, but he didn’t relent as I felt my balls tighten. I tried to move my hands, to stop him from bringing me to a climax, but he held my arms firm. I could have stopped him, easily, but already I felt my cock swell, and I gave in to his insatiable hunger. With a cry, I felt my spunk shoot from my cock, filling his throat and his mouth in great pumping waves of passion until I emptied myself completely into him.<br />
<br />
“Fuck in hell, someone was keen.”<br />
<br />
Michelangelo shimmied back up the platform, his mouth tightly closed, and then he spat my load onto his wooden palette and began to mix it into his oil pigments. As I watched, he coated his brush and continued to paint the fresco with the spunk and paint concoction.<br />
<br />
“What the fuck are you doing?”<br />
<br />
“Adding you to my masterpiece, of course. Now you will forever be a part of this space! If I can’t have your asshole up here, I can have your semen. Now, when I am long gone, every time you walk in here, you will think of me and this moment.”<br />
<br />
“You are off your fucking head.”<br />
<br />
“Yeah, maybe, but you love me anyway.”<br />
<br />
Clapping echoed around the chapel, and then a voice bellowed upwards towards me, one that I had hoped never to hear again.<br />
<br />
“Bravo, Barbarian, nice to see that you can still entertain.”<br />
<br />
Before the last syllable left his filthy fucking lips, I fell from the top of the platform to land at his feet.<br />
<br />
The bastard looked good, standing there in tightly fitted black leather pants that clung to his bulge and a white see through shirt that accentuated his erect nipples. He wore thigh length black boots, and his black hair lay slicked back across his magnificent head. I never thought to see those eyes again, to feel their yellow fire burning into my soul, but there they were, fucking me over yet again.<br />
<br />
“I must say, Gaius, eternity suits you. Looking good!”<br />
<br />
“It’s Gideon, you prick, what the fuck are you doing here? How did you find me?” I glanced up towards the platform and saw Michelangelo looking down on us. I shook my head at him, an urgent little gesture, praying that he would stay out of the way.<br />
<br />
“Oh don’t stress out, Gideon, your little play thing means nothing to me, though I must admit, I have always fancied having my portrait done. What do you think? My left side? I always fancied that my left side is best, don’t you?”<br />
<br />
“How did you find me, Melek?”<br />
<br />
“Oh please, have you forgotten who I am? Really, dear heart, you’re not exactly discreet, are you?” He brushed the side of my face with a long index finger, and I could not help but shiver at his touch. “Don’t trouble yourself, Barbarian, I’m not here for the spear, not yet.”<br />
<br />
“Then what the fuck do you want?”<br />
<br />
“Something has…come up, something that I thought you should see. Come with me, there is someone I would like you to meet.”<br />
<br />
Melek led the way, and the last I saw of Michelangelo was his confused face hanging over the edge of the platform. Yet another regret to add to my long, long list. I never said goodbye.<br />
<br />
As we walked through the marble halls of the Vatican, I felt the chill of the stone permeate my hard flesh, or it may have been the presence of that creature walking next to me.<br />
<br />
“What the fuck is all this about Melek? Where are you taking me?”<br />
<br />
“Somewhere where Angels fear to tread, my strapping Barbarian, to meet an old friend.”<br />
<br />
“I’m surprised you don’t wither away in here, or that God doesn’t shit on your head from a great height.”<br />
<br />
Melek skidded to a stop, his yellow eyes blazing into my cold flesh. That had touched a nerve.<br />
<br />
“Have you forgotten who I was? I was an Angel once, remember?”<br />
<br />
“Thrown out by your own father.”<br />
<br />
“Yes,” he boomed as he stormed ahead. “And I wasn’t the only one. Keep up, Barbarian.”<br />
<br />
I had to wonder why he chose that direction. Every bit of stone, every step, every piece of marble ransacked from Rome, I knew them all, I had helped build it, so I knew exactly where his footsteps led, towards the Apostolic Palace.<br />
<br />
“Why are you taking me to the Stanze?”<br />
<br />
“Patience, dear heart. I must say, it’s so nice to be back. You know, I could tell you a story or two about this place. My, the Borgia’s knew how to party! The things that went on in that…”<br />
<br />
“Raphael is working up there.”<br />
<br />
Melek turned and grinned. “I gave him the day off. Come on.”<br />

<b>WARNINGS</b>: a little bit of gore, on page; implied rape; heartbreak; cheating; historical events that may be upsetting for some readers: Holocaust. <br />
<br />
I am stunned. This is the author's DEBUT work and it was enchanting. From the entertainment factor of Mal and Eli bickering like an old married couple, the intensity of the mystery surrounding Eli's past as well as Ethan's father, and the incredible historical detail, there wasn't anything I didn't love about this book. <br />
<br />
Oh, and editing? Normally, if a book has less than five notes from me about editing issues, I don't mention them unless they hugely impact my reading. This book had ONE. One tiny little slip of a comma (which are the bane of my existence, so I get it!) and that was it. I never saw anything that could count as a spelling, grammar, editing or plot mistake, slip up or accident. In a debut novel. <br />
<br />
When it comes to POV, 1st person has never been a friend of mine. There are few books that actually write it the way that I can read it – which is falling into the story and never having a million unanswered questions about who “I” as the character am supposed to be. Because, the trap with 1st is that it's written where you're supposed to know who you are already, so there's no real introduction. <br />
<br />
There was no need for an introduction here. Eli is perfectly clear and brilliant as a main character. Sarcastic, but deeply troubled, he's the quintessential tortured soul, with a difference. He feels sorry for himself, but only rarely; he tries not to let his failings, past or fears distract him and tries not to let anyone else see them, either. His ego is incredible; he's the kind of man who loves himself deeply and isn't ashamed of his vanity. But, at the same time, he uses it as a shield to prevent anyone from seeing the dark side of him. He's far from your typical hero. But, then, maybe he's not a hero? Maybe he's just a regular guy (vampire) who has a job to do? <br />
<br />
Similarly, I love Malachi. He's a ghost, but he's hilarious, camp and all the other things Eli claims he is. Utilizing some seriously eloquent snark and unabashed campness, the pair together are a riot, but Malachi himself is just so adorable. I spent half the book shipping Maleli and the other half shipping Elian. Now I can't decide what I want or if I really want Gideli back. (Not that I ever saw the together, to begin with, but you know what I mean.) <br />
<br />
The way the POV was used – primarily in Eli's 1st person, but also with extracts of Ethan, Daniyyel's POV and diary entries for Isaiah, Ethan's day – meant that we got to find out all the important things, as and when we needed to know them. Eli wasn't there for the big events, but through the eyes of other people's memories and accounts – told in 1st person, which is much less draining and less complicated than having a long explanation from them during a conversation – we get to experience them with all our senses, to make sure we don't miss the important details. <br />
<br />
Ethan is an enigma. I know there's a big secret in his past – as there is for all the main characters, Malachi and Eli alike – but I can't wait to see how it will be discovered. Knowing that all three have huge secrets, but that Ethan is the only one opening up about his past so far, would normally have me desperate for information. But, I'm enjoying the journey and the way that the secrets are revealed too much to demand that they're spilled in a quick, unsatisfactory manner. I want to juice, the detail, the gore and the excitement. So I'll patiently wait. <br />
<br />
For me, the genius of this book is in it's detail. From characterisation – slowly explored, with hints and suggestions or more, as well as all the characters being nicely transparent or confusing as hell – to the detail of the locations, the historical facts, the emotions and the way that the characters all interact with each other. Not only is there a lot in this book, but it all comes together seamlessly, because of the detail binding it all together in a believable way. Characters like Eddie, Vicky and Adi were an interesting twist, allowing us readers to ponder and wonder, only for the big secret to be revealed when it was all beginning to come together. <br />
<br />
The story covers a lot of historical incidents – Queen Victoria, her grandson Prince Albert Victor, Jack the Ripper, Nazis, Jeiwsh Concentration Camps, Adolf Hitler – but it never once feels disjointed, ridiculous or fanciful. The way the events are linked, how and the way they're interlinked is the interesting part. And the bit that is so clever. <br />
<br />
And let's not forget the most important player of all – The Devil, AKA Melek. <br />
<br />
~ <br />
<br />
For me, there was so much depth to this story that I can't believe it was contained within less than 250 pages. <br />
<br />
It tackles some seriously hardcore issues – there is nothing light and fluffy about it. With a strong theme of the Nazis and Hitler's prejudice against the Jewish people, told through Ethan's story, and historical events that Eli has personal experience of – Jack the Ripper and Queen Victoria's reign – intense, upsetting historical crimes are explored in a way that is readable, but has the emotional impact of reverence towards the subject. Adding in Eli and Mal's naturally humour natures, these events offer a darker side to their lives and shows the horrors they've endured or are yet to endure. <br />
<br />
Beneath the intensity, is a beautifully explored journey of self-discovery, themes of resilience and love in the face of adversity and the overwhelming need to see these characters rise from the ashes that other people have made of their lives. Somewhere along the way, I know hearts are going to be broken, but then again, this isn't the type of book (series) where everyone will get their happily ever after. It's more realistic than that. <br />
<br />
When I read this part of the author's biography, I just knew that it was perfect. Basically, this one sentence can describe me to a tee. “My fascination with History, Religion and Conspiracy theories have, in this instance, gone hand-in-hand with my love of all things vampire, fantasy, sci-fi and horror.” Me too, Sean. Your books and I are going to be spending a lot of time together in the future. <br />
<br />
All I can say is bravo. Bravo, Sean. You're onto a winner and I can't wait to see what else you write. Whatever it is, I'll be waiting with impatient grabby hands to get my copy. <br />

<br />
<br />
Oh, Eli!<br />
<br />
Oh, Mal!<br />
<br />
Gideon, you rat!<br />
<br />
This, pretty much sums up my thoughts of book 2. I needed to read it so badly that I didn't finish until 2.30am. And then I had a total book hangover for half an hour, unable to even attempt to sleep, while wishing book 3 was available already. Because then I'd have bought it and stayed up until 6am if that was what it took to read it and find out what happens next.<br />
<br />
And the annoying thing is that I can't tell you anything about the plot! Because it's all spoilers. Secrets, man. So, so many secrets!! And we finally get to learn some, in the heartbreaking, perfect way I imagined.<br />
<br />
To try to articulate how I felt reading this installment of the saga that is Dead Camp, I spent half of the book crying. Poor Eli, for being so tormented and so evil that he couldn't make up his mind whether to love the humans of the world or hate them. And poor Mal, for trusting so unconditionally, when he really should have questioned everything.<br />
<br />
Again, Melek was a troublesome, sneaky one, but I only fell more in love with him. I now very firmly ship Melmal. To the end! The way he dealt with things, carefully manipulating a really, really long game, was just genius.<br />
<br />
The world building, once more, was spectacular. Not only did it use real events in history, but it wove them into this paranormal tale seamlessly. I cried so hard for Joseph and celebrated with even more tears when the prisoners from the camp fought back against the Nazis. Ugh. The way Sean Kerr can write emotion, can tug at your heart strings within a brutal, bloody battle scene, is just beautiful. Then I cried for Eli, because Gideon is a rat bastard.<br />
<br />
It was a shame not to see Ethan, but I also think it was important. He wasn't strictly needed right now, though I don't doubt that he'll have a very important part to play in part 3. Daniyyel, similarly, is only in the story very shortly, but Wowee does he have a huge part!<br />
<br />
~<br />
<br />
In the end, this is the story of Eli, Malachi and Gideon, and how all three are intermingled in a war between Heaven and Hell, God and Melek. And how, ultimately, there are no heroes in the world. There is a world full of hatred, horror, death, lies and secrets. And there are humans, vampires, Menarche and more. But, in the end, there are only the monsters within us all.<br />
<br />
All I can say is that I NEED book 3. NOW! Please and thank you.<br />

Hi everyone, my name is Sean Kerr, and I am a 46-year-old gay man living in Cardiff, Wales, with my husband of 28 years, Derek. We have two cats, Rita and Harry, and a host of tropical fish.</div>

By day, I am an Interior designer, and I have had a shop, Home Zone, in Cardiff with my amazing business partner Jayne, for eleven and a half years. It has, and continues to be a struggle, the recession hit a few years after we opened, and it has been challenging to say the least. I consider myself to be lucky though, because the shop pays me a wage, and I have been lucky enough to furnish my house with lovely thigs because of it, and I really do have some spectacular curtains lol.</div>

I worked on building sites for years, and I used the money earned from that to put myself through college, specialist paint techniques etc. I trained in fine art, and then I went out and painted murals on client’s walls, and created Roman Bathrooms and fantasy, hand painted bedrooms, all the rage back in the late eighties and nineties. I then became the Interior Designer for a large DIY chain, and that is where I met Jayne, my business partner, and the rest is history.</div>

By night I am an Author, and I am proud to be an author for Extasy Books. I currently have three books under my belt, with extasy about to release Dead Camp 3. I am also working on a secret project at the moment, something between book 3 coming out, and starting book 4 in the Dead Camp series. I love writing, so very much. It has always been my dream, and the wonderful Extasy Books has made my dream come true, and it is a world that I am totally in love with, and I hope to be a part of for a very long time to come.</div>

<i>Can an independent, stubborn human beta make room in his life and heart for a hard-headed Alpha?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Julio Reyes has had a hard life. Orphaned at fourteen, he ran away from a group home to avoid rape but wound up being an independent prostitute in NYC. He has a life plan—go to school, become a stylist and open his own salon.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Etienne Daurensbourg is one-hundred and thirty-nine years old and fears he’ll never find his Mate until his friend Alexei introduces him to Julio. Julio is Etienne’s Mate but before he has a chance to court Julio, who is a human high beta and therefore stubborn and independent, Julio gets knifed and is forced to let Etienne provide him with a home and help to recover.<br />
<br />
Pack problems arise that may force Etienne into the pit. Will Julio be able to love Etienne despite the fact he is a loup garou?</div>

The Harbinger was born, in part, from growing up in the 1980's. At that time, our culture was plagued by fear. It was everywhere--on the news, in conversations, in nightmares... As I think back, nuclear war was often presented by the media as a likely event. In retrospect, I now see it for what it was... Reagan-Era propaganda that was meant to keep everyone scared shitless. Unfortunately, things haven't changed too much... But it wasn't just the media. Every other movie out there, it seemed, were full of slashers and killers, wars and disasters, and the end of the world. My favorites of these movies were always the huge Hollywood disaster flicks with fabulous all-star casts. Gloom and doom and the fantasy of starting over are common themes that endlessly fascinate us. And, of course, we're still in the grips of our zombie obsession.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My background is in gay romance and erotica. As a fan of post-apocalyptic and Sci-Fi fiction, I've noticed the glaring absence of major gay characters. Usually, they're resigned to be comic sidekicks, minor characters with occasional one-liners, or characters unable to defend themselves. Two of the four major characters in The Harbinger are gay and are portrayed in a realistic light, as flawed people who are just like anyone else--fighting to survive. Of course, there are some zombie-type creatures, but my "creepers" aren't like anything I've read before. It would be incorrect to categorize this as a "gay" or "zombie" book because there's much more going on... I wanted to express a different point of view that is lacking in most post-apocalyptic books. Instead of jumping into the middle of the story and telling how the world fell apart in a flashback, lasting for maybe a page and a half, which is fine for some writers and fans, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to examine and watch the world fall apart through the eyes of the characters and attempt to convey the emotions they experience. So The Harbinger begins with these characters living their lives with their own sets of issues and problems. Before they know it, their worlds have been annihilated and they face these extraordinary circumstances. </div>

It starts as a whisper, barely audible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Rumors. Paranoia. Conspiracy theories. Subterfuge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Like lightning, the plague moves across the globe, spreading out in all directions. When the naysayers can no longer ignore the wails and moans of the dying, the Harbinger will already have them by their throats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But the end is only the beginning… </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Discovered in the Alaskan permafrost, the ancient virus was reanimated and genetically-altered. The new strain showed great promise in curing many of mankind’s afflictions. When the specimen fell into the hands of the Russian theocracy, their inept scientists attempted to create a biological weapon—a weapon that outsmarted them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now, the androvirus is a deadly airborne plague, conquering the world in a matter of days. With a communicability of 100% and a mortality rate of over 90%, there is no immunity. For the survivors, who can suppress the virus, there is only change. A few adapt, but most become walking, talking gray horrors with an appetite for flesh. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Primarily set in the American city of Memphis, four loosely-connected strangers, caught up in their lives, find their worlds annihilated by the swiftly-moving plague. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Alex Connelly is a wealthy, young executive, living an idyllic life with his pregnant wife, Madison. Kirk Foster is a self-absorbed aging gay man, desperate to hang onto his youth and sex appeal. Meredith Brinkley’s on-going war with breast cancer takes a turn for the worse, and she faces an impending double mastectomy. Logan King is a closeted baseball jock, playing for a minor league team while coming to terms with his true identity. And only together will they survive...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>In the wee hours of the morning of July 29th, Grigori Yeltsin passed a huge commotion as he walked into Pulkovo-St. Petersburg Airport. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The commotion was none other than a moaning obese man with a beard, Vitaly Milonov, being loaded into an ambulance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Grigori had barely given the scene a second look, but the pathogen had noticed him, latching onto the tall, dark-haired man in his forties for a lethal piggyback ride. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He was running late, so after going through the security checkpoints, Yeltsin passed the viral taint to all the ticket agents, security, and incoming passengers that Milonov hadn’t infected on his way out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Rushing through the terminal, the handsome, athletic man passed hundreds of people—some already infected with the virus and the others Grigori infected unwittingly. Those that Yeltsin and Milonov infected with the pathogen became clueless carriers of the swiftly-moving plague.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On the flight from St. Petersburg to Brussels, Yeltsin infected all four hundred and nineteen persons. By the time the plane landed, Yeltsin felt a bit tired, but aside from that, he was fine. Waiting for his connecting flight to New York, Grigori had a breakfast of Chinese food while texting his wife. By the time that he called his mistress, the red-haired Illia, who lived in an apartment that he paid for, the reception on his phone was choppy, but he didn’t dwell on it. After speaking to Illia, Grigori called the thirteen-year-old boy that he was also fucking. The boy, Jaska, a pretty youth with blond hair, who could actually be called the wealthy man’s second mistress, also resided in a luxury apartment that Yeltsin paid for. By the conclusion of his second call, his phone was cutting out to the point of annoyance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He sat at the gate for his flight to New York City and attempted to check the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on his phone, but oddly, he couldn’t connect to the Internet. Frustrated, he gave up. As Grigori boarded the large jet to New York, he was energized. He was excited about the new construction project that his company was about to undertake. Unlike many business trips, this one was personal. The amphitheater that he was to build had been a long-time dream. The concert hall was to be named after his mother, Oksana. She had died of whooping cough when he was a boy. After spending hundreds of millions of rubles to bribe all the right officials, Yeltsin expected his mother’s name would now live on forever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The firm that he was partnering with was a company called Hollister Engineering. They had a prestigious reputation and were known for their incredible feats of construction and engineering. The company was even flying up one of their bests from Memphis, Tennessee. The only thing Yeltsin knew about Memphis was that Elvis Presley had lived there. He hoped the young man, who was making the presentation on the following day, Alexander Connelly, would tell him much more about the Land of Elvis—Elvis Presley being Yeltsin’s all-time favorite singer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Although the virus had shifted, taking longer to show its first symptoms post infection, the airborne plague was no less virulent or deadly. In fact, during his layover, Yeltsin had passed the sickness on to thousands, who boarded flights to Rome, Atlanta, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aries, Madrid, Paris, Dublin, Tel Aviv, Johannesburg, Casablanca, Reykjavik, Toronto, Montreal, Tokyo, Shanghai, Sydney, Melbourne, and Washington DC. </div>

<b>How long have you been writing? What inspired you to start writing? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I’ve been making up stories for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would make up these insane little books featuring a few of my friends. Over the years it bloomed. What started my career as an erotica writer was a very toxic relationship that was very sexually frustrating, back in 2010 or so. And Keegan Kennedy was born. </div>

<b>What advice would you give a new writer just starting out?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Be true to your vision. Don’t let a publishing house tell you what you have to write or that your book must have a happy ending. Almost no one in my life reads my writing, so don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. On a more practical note, edit, read, edit, read, edit, read. Plot your book, tighten it, make it pack a punch. Give them something they’ve never seen before. If you see a glaring ommision in a genre, set out to conquer it. Invest in grammar software, a thesarus, and a stock photo website to find covers. </div>

<b>Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
No. On the otherhand, I often suffer from writer’s exhaustion. Several ideas for different works will be creeping in my head at once, so I have to make myself focus. </div>

<b>Tell us something about your newest release that is NOT in the blurb.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I actively challenge stereotypes of women, racial minorities, and gay people. One of the toughest characters turns out to be gay. Also, The Harbinger highlights the incredible diversity of the city of Memphis. </div>

<b>Tell us something about your work in progress. What is it about?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I’m starting a new series about two men, who aren’t completely likable, who are star-crossed lovers. I wanted to challenge the romance novel genre—one that i truly love. At this time, I can’t use the character names or the title of the series as sometimes, the name of the work and the characters have been known to suddenly turn up in a hastily written project. I’ve found as an indie author that the element of surprise is paramount. </div>

<strong><br /></strong> <strong>Can two very different men find the love they need to survive?</strong></div>
<div>
<br />
Remi Ginn’s an easygoing werecat with a love of snarky T-shirts who would be perfectly happy with a human mate. Is that what the goddess Bast gives him? Of course not. Instead she gifts him with Marshell, a Vetala: a snakelike nonshifter who drinks blood to survive. A man who’s just as toppy as Remi—and even more powerful than the West Falls Clowder’s Alpha and heir apparent.</div>
<div>
<br />
While Remi decides whether he can handle the fates’ choice, hunters attack Marshell. In an explosion of passion, Remi and Marshell mate and Remi declares Marshell his. Now they have to figure out how to make their relationship work as they dance around each other.</div>
<div>
<br />
The clowder is in turmoil, and Remi’s acceptance of Marshell rocks the very foundation of the insular group. The consequences will be far-reaching. And if that isn’t problem enough, the situation with the hunters is far from resolved… as the appearance of an Alpha werewolf proves.<br />

<b>How long have you been writing? What inspired you to start writing?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Actually, not very long. Hmmm, maybe a couple of years? I got my start back in 2010. I was surfing the net and was looking for free short stories to read. I ran across this site called Literotica and stumbled across the Gay Male section. I was hooked, lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Somehow I’d missed all this. And boy, did I scrounge around there, reading every single story! There were some very good ones, and some very, very bad ones, lol. After reading there for half a year, I decided to try my hand at writing a story.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What finally pushed me into pubbing was winning a winter-themed contest on Literotica several years ago. I’d been writing The Harvest series there. So I wrote a Christmas story having to do with the characters from Harvest and entered it. *laugh* It won first place. What’s significant about that was this was *not* a M/M contest. Most of the entries were M/F actually. That helped make my mind up. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It’s like approaching a good-looking person at a bar. You make eye contact—there’s a spark. You check each other for a little while then… you meet. Talk. Flirt. Cop a feel or two and see if that spark turns into a blazing fire, lol. A time or two I’ve had to walk away and find another title to eye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I’ve been lucky. Titles have never been um, hard, for me to ah, come, up with. *laugh* Okay, I’ll stop now.</div>

Well, lol, it depends on where I end up. Some days the laptop and I are on the couch in the den. There are a *lot* of windows in there, and I can see the pond from the couch. It’s bright and sunny. Usually Kitty curls up on a pillow next to me while I write.</div>

Other times I’m in the bedroom. The hubby works nights two weeks out of four. Normally, he falls asleep in the bedroom because it’s dark in there. But there are times the Outdoor Channel grabs him and he falls asleep on the couch. Those days I end up in the bedroom. I sit on the bed with Kitty curled up at the end of the bed, lol.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I’ve never truly struggled with writer’s block, except for one time. For a good six to eight months after the stroke I had in 2012, I struggled. So… I don’t know if you would really call that writers block. Regardless of whatever you’d call it I struggled getting my thoughts on the page. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know now part of the problem had to do with the medications I was on. Once that was straightened out, things got better. Even though the stroke wasn’t as bad as it could have been, I still needed time to recuperate. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For me, the plot comes first. I have to have some working idea of what I’m writing, lol. Before I ever put pen to paper, so to speak, I have a beginning, middle, and end. *laugh* I guess it’s the teacher in me. I can’t help it, lol. Now, that’s not to say there isn’t room for change. Hell, there’s even been a time or two I threw the plot out the window and started completely over. Talk about stressing me out, though, so that doesn’t happen often.</div>

<b>What advice would you give a new writer just starting out?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first thing would be to research the publisher you’re looking at. Google them. Go look at their website. What kind of covers do they have? Do you like them? Go on places like ARe and check out the bestseller list. What publishers are there? Ask around. Talk to others. Listen to what’s being talked about on social media and blogs. I hate to say it, but if there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other thing I’d say is don’t give up, and please, don’t take rejection to heart. This is a business. Publishers want to make money. If they don’t think something will work for them, they’ll give it a pass. That doesn’t mean they think the story sucks. So, okay then, it’s been rejected. Send that story off to another publisher. </div>

<strong><br /></strong> <strong>Chapter One—Remi</strong></div>
<div>
<br />
Fuck my life.</div>
<div>
I’d have to check, but I was pretty sure I had a shirt that said that somewhere in my closet. If I didn’t, it was next on the list of things to get. Because it fit—my life <em>was</em> fucked.</div>
<div>
Sighing, I turned the radio up in an effort to drown out my thoughts. I rattled down the road in my old beat-up work truck—which was another thing I needed to take care of. I’d owned a sweet ’69 Ford Mustang. <em>Had </em>being the key word. It went up in flames not long ago… with the mate of Dolf, our heir apparent and head beta, inside.</div>
<div>
Kirk made it out alive. My baby wasn’t so lucky, and I hadn’t replaced her yet. Yes, I was mourning a car. I <em>loved</em> her. Ugh. So much for drowning out my thoughts. I turned on my blinker and made the turn onto Alpha Armonty’s street for an emergency meeting he’d called.</div>
<div>
Bad enough this was Monday, but it was what humans called Cyber Monday, goddess help us. I turned the heat up a little more. December had arrived with what the South considered abnormally cold temperatures. Frankly I liked the cold—liked the snow, as long as we weren’t buried under a mountain of the stuff.</div>
<div>
As I pulled up in front of his house, I saw Dolf’s truck was already there. Dolf, our head beta, was the Alpha’s son and heir apparent. The other three betas—Heller, Aidric, and Brier—had arrived too. That left me. I was also a beta for the West Falls Clowder.</div>
<div>
I parked behind Heller and sat in my truck, staring sightlessly at the house. One of the reasons we were meeting was because I met my mate, Marshell Foles, a few days ago. Good news, right? Cue the canned audience applause.</div>
<div>
Now the bad news. My mate was possibly stronger than my Alpha and the heir apparent together. Okay, now cue the canned boos and hisses. Maybe I should’ve said life was fucked with a capital F.</div>
<div>
I flashed back to the night I found out he was mine and the heavy petting session we had on his couch. Now my cock was hard. Wonderful. Just what I needed—an erection right before I met with my Alpha.</div>
<div>
I pushed at the bulge, frowning. “Down, boy. I’m afraid you’re barking up the wrong tree.”</div>
<div>
In order for a shifter to mate, we had to share come and blood during sex—which involved bottoming. For my mate I could bottom. The thing was, I didn’t see myself doing it on a regular basis. I was a top—which was not that big of a deal, except so was Marshell.</div>
<div>
Somehow I didn’t see Marshell bottoming any more than I wanted to. The man screamed Alpha male. That was another can of worms, and not the only one by any means. And sitting here analyzing this was useless. I got out and walked toward the front door before one of them noticed me sitting out here in my truck like a dummy.</div>
<div>
Just as I got to the door, Dolf opened it, read my shirt, and promptly burst out laughing. “You have <em>got </em>to tell me where you get those.”</div>
<div>
Smirking, I shook my head. “It’s a well-guarded secret.”</div>
<div>
Today I wore a black shirt with white writing: <em>Be careful when you follow the masses…. Sometimes the M is silent.</em> “Masses” was in light blue, as was the letter M, to draw attention to the play on words. I’d been known to follow an ass or two in my day. Those days were over now.</div>
<div>
Dolf nodded at my truck. “I was wondering if I was going to have to come out there.”</div>
<div>
“I had a feeling you’d be tapping on the driver’s window if I didn’t get out soon,” I said as Dolf moved out of the way so I could enter the Alpha’s home.</div>
<div>
“I was counting down. Dad and the rest are already in his office.”</div>
<div>
“That’s where the food is, right? I just got off work, so I haven’t eaten.”</div>
<div>
Dolf clapped me on the shoulder as he shut the front door. “Of course. Come on back before they eat it all—damn bunch of vultures.”</div>
<div>
I followed Dolf. The smells coming from Alpha Armonty’s office made my mouth water. “Something smells good.”</div>
<div>
“Mom got hot wings. There are fries, coleslaw, and potato salad to go with it. And rolls too.”</div>
<div>
“Your mom rocks.”</div>
<div>
We entered the office. Everyone was still standing around helping themselves. Good. That meant there was still food, and I made a beeline for it.</div>
<div>
“Hey! Look what the cat finally dragged in.” Aidric shoulder-bumped me.</div>
<div>
“Oh, such sharp wit. It cuts like a dull knife.” I rolled my eyes. “And don’t think I didn’t notice you bumping me away from the table, you hog.”</div>
<div>
“Hot wings, man.” Aidric winked at me. “Food of the gods and hungry werecat shifters.”</div>
<div>
“You’re always hungry,” I griped, shoving Aidric out of my way. “Stop blocking the table, dude.”</div>
<div>
“Hey, Remi,” Brier greeted me.</div>
<div>
“Hey, how’s it going?”</div>
<div>
“Good, good. Just got through helping my sister, Breanna, move into her new apartment here in town. I swear, how does one person accumulate that much stuff?” Brier complained.</div>
<div>
“Oh that’s right. I forgot she was back,” I said. “Where was she living before?”</div>
<div>
“Philadelphia. She moved up there for her job, but she couldn’t stand the cold weather and endless snow. All she did was gripe, gripe, gripe. I finally got tired of hearing it and told her if she was <em>that</em> unhappy, then she should move back home. I was kidding, but I don’t think she got that. Next thing I know I’m getting a phone call and a due date for her to move.” Brier scowled at a chip on his plate. “Should’ve kept my mouth shut.”</div>
<div>
“What did you tell me she did?” I asked.</div>
<div>
“She’s an accountant. Now that she’s settled into her new place, she’s started job hunting. She’s got some savings, but that won’t last forever.”</div>
<div>
“Is she still unmated?” I asked.</div>
<div>
“Yep. She had a boyfriend, but they weren’t mates. And speaking of mates, I heard you found yours. Man, sorry I couldn’t attend the dinner. Congrats.” Brier sat down at the round table we always used for meetings.</div>
<div>
“Yeah, you should’ve seen his face.” Aidric chuckled.</div>
<div>
“Thanks,” I said, unsure if I should say more. Did Brier know the situation? Aidric did. He was there that night.</div>
<div>
“Welcome, Remi.” Alpha Armonty pointed at the side table where the drinks were set. “There’s several different sodas to pick from, and tea. Get yourself a plate and grab a seat.”</div>
<div>
“Yes, Alpha.” I filled a plate and got a drink. After we were settled, Alpha Armonty cleared his throat. All talking ceased.</div>
<div>
“We’re meeting for several reasons. First let me congratulate Remi. As I understand it, Remi met his mate during Heller’s Thanksgiving dinner, which I wish now the wife and I had attended.”</div>
<div>
“Yeah, you never know what kind of trouble Heller’s going to stir up,” Aidric joked.</div>
<div>
“Again, let me remind everyone Lawson’s to blame for the whole Thanksgiving deal. That’s my story, and I’m sticking with it.” Heller nodded as though that was the end of the subject.</div>
<div>
“You chickenshit.” Aidric poked Heller in the ribs. “Look at you trying to throw it off on your mate, and the guy isn’t even here to defend himself.”</div>
<div>
“I’ll tell him,” I volunteered, flashing Heller an evil grin. “Knowing Lawson, he’ll hide Heller’s hair-styling stuff as revenge. Hmm, I might even have to suggest that. Just in case, you know.”</div>
<div>
“He’d need a storage unit for all of it,” Brier added and then took a drink of his soda.</div>
<div>
“And a forklift to <em>get</em> it to the storage unit.” Dolf snickered, licking the sauce from the hot wings off his fingers.</div>
<div>
“Just a damn minute here.” Heller threw his napkin at me. “How’d this discussion get off onto me anyhow? And Remi? You might want to remember Lawson’s like a brother to <em>your</em> mate. Maybe I’ll tell Lawson to tell Marshell how you picked on me… and I’ll have you in the doghouse, man.”</div>
<div>
“<em>Dog</em>house? Really?” Dolf hooted.</div>
<div>
“Sounds better than cathouse.” Heller shrugged and then bit into a wing.<br />
<br />

Fur and Fangs with a Twist </h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
I shall begin by saying I do not recommend reading this book without having read the first two, [book:Trouble Comes in Threes|23631202] (Trouble Comes in Threes) and [book:Behind the Eight Ball|27153448] (Behind the Eight Ball). There are multiple references to these books that play into this one, and having not read them myself, I felt I missed fully understanding the multitude of storylines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That said, this was my first novel by this author, and I really enjoyed it, even if I didn’t get all the subtleties. Told in first person from the alternating points of view of Remi and Marshell, you really get the opportunity to see inside their heads and hearts. Remi is a werecat, but his mate is something entirely different – a non-shifting paranormal called a Vetala. While he remains human, he has enhanced senses, and when his preternatural traits come forward, his eyes glow blue and his venemous fangs drop. Incredibly powerful, the clowder isn’t certain precisely what to do with Marshell as the mate of the top beta werecat after the heir apparent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I liked that as a cat, Remi wasn’t one of the top predator large cats, but an actual CAT cat. Only slightly larger than an average cat, he enjoys playing with cat toys, climbing everything in the house, and snuggling in Marshell’s lap. It really was a nice change of pace. Marshell’s discomfort with “talking to a cat” cracked me up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While the pacing was steady, the plots were kind of all over the place. There were multiple things happening at once, not all of which involved the main characters, and some of them would be mentioned, then not heard about for a hundred pages before popping up and being quickly resolved almost as an afterthought. However, the storylines were interesting and did keep my attention.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The peripheral characters are *many* and varied. From other cats to wolves to humans in the clowder to human hunters of the paranormals, there is a lot to keep up with. This is done quite well, and these characters really enriched the book overall. Quick wit and excellent dialogue is part and parcel with this book. I found myself turning the pages looking forward to finding out what outrageous shirt Remi was going to wear next!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The chemistry between Remi and Marshell is striking hot! Watching these two tops dance around each other and eventually give in to the inevitable is highly entertaining, and the sexy times are sizzling. Remi’s past makes a return, and Marshell’s handling of this delicate issue is beautiful. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There was a clear setup for another book in this one, which is great if you like that, or not so great if you prefer to be surprised at the matches. There ended up being multiple discussions about this pair, which disappointed me a little bit. My preference is to let that book be revealed *in* the book, not to belabor the point in someone else’s.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the end, though, I spent several happy hours reading this book, fell hard for these main characters, and I will be reading both the previous two as well as any future books as they are released. If you’re a fan of shifters, I most definitely recommend checking out Ms. Church’s Fur, Fangs, and Felines series!</div>

M.A. Church is a true Southern belle who spent many years in the elementary education sector. Now she spends her days lost in fantasy worlds, arguing with hardheaded aliens on far-off planets, herding her numerous shifters, or trying to tempt her country boys away from their fishing poles. It’s a full time job, but hey, someone’s gotta do it!</div>
<div>
When not writing, she’s on the back porch tending to the demanding wildlife around the pond in the backyard. The ducks are very outspoken. She’s married to her high school sweetheart, and they have two grown children.</div>
<div>
She was a finalist in the 2013 Rainbow Awards, runner up in the 2015 Rainbow Awards, and is a member of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.</div>

<strong>Sometimes you need to go back to your past, in order to move on to your future.</strong><br />
<br />
Jax Hunter has spent the last ten years trying to forget his first love Nathan Steele—and the brutal betrayal that derailed everything he’d worked so hard for. Jax has finally gotten his life back together, when Nathan returns to deliver another blow – his company is set to bulldoze the bar he’s built from nothing.<br />
<br />
Ever since that summer in high school, Nathan has been denying his feelings for Jax—the only person he’s ever loved. Nathan knows Jax might never forgive him, but when Nathan’s uncle is murdered and Nathan might be next on the hit-list, Jax is the only one he can turn to.<br />
<br />
Jax still doesn’t trust Nathan—not with his bar, and for damn sure, not with his heart. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist the undeniable passion between them. Can they overcome their past hurts and learn to trust each other again? Or will another betrayal tear them apart forever?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I’m pleased to welcome my friend, Cali Mackay, and her writing partner – and my new friend - Julie Farrell. Cali and I have known each other for a few years now, and I get to beta her traditional MF romances, but she and Julie are now branching into MM romance and boy what fun I had reading Taken Back (out 27th July 2016)! Cali’s American, a mum of two (not counting pets!) and married to an Irishman, and Julie comes from Good Old England, but is currently living in Spain in the sunshine. Let’s get to know them without further ado.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> Cali and Julie, thank you for agreeing to being grilled interviewed by yours truly. So, please tell us all about yourselves and how your writing collaboration started. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cali and Julie:</b> We first met online via a good friend and fellow romance writer, and clicked straight away. We’re part of a small group of writers that meets daily online, so we’ve gotten to know each other very well. We decided to start collaborating only in February of this year, and we’ve had so much fun working together, especially when we met up for a writers’ retreat in Maine. We laughed so much it hurt but were able to get lots of Taken Back written. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum: </b>And ladies, how easy was it going from writing MF to writing MM? And, why the change to MM? What do you consider the main writing differences…apart, obviously, from the down and dirty stuff? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cali and Julie:</b> Julie was actually already writing MM when she first met Cali, and she loves it. And Cali had done some erotica that involved MFF, MMF, and anything goes! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We both enjoy reading MM and figured it was a natural progression for our writing. The main differences are trying to wrangle all the masculine pronouns (he, his, him, etc.) without confusing the reader or sounding repetitive. Also, the tension and conflict is oftentimes coming from a different place, for example dealing with issues of homophobia in society. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> Julie, name 3 things you couldn’t live without, and 3 things you wish would just bog off and leave you alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Julie:</b> Tea, yoga, and books are a must. Things I’d like to do without are sunburn, homophobia, and spiders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> Cali, you also design your own book covers - what side of your book activities do you enjoy more – the writing or the book covers? If you weren’t writing and designing covers, what would your days consist of? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cali:</b> I love writing. That said, sometimes it’s fun to take a break and play around on Photoshop. As for career choices, if I wasn’t writing, I’d probably be working in some biotech lab. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum: </b>How long did it take you to plan and write Taken Back, and how did you write the tale with the Atlantic dividing you? Did you each write a character/a chapter/did one concentrate on dialogue and the other storyline? I mean, it’s a story set in the US, with US leads, written by a British author and an American one…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cali and Julie:</b> It only took four months to write, and planning was done over a very excited Skype call. At the beginning we each took a character and wrote their chapter (Cali wrote Jax, Julie wrote Nate). But when we were in Maine, we discovered that it was so much easier to write together, while sitting side-by-side, so we decided to use Skype and ‘share screen’ to emulate that experience. Which means we can write even faster! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"> A Divine Exclusive Excerpt from Book 2</span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Carter</strong> </h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was almost as if the air in the bar shifted around me. Despite it being a packed Friday night, I immediately spotted him and my heart dropped, years of anger and betrayal surging through my soul. <em>“Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck are you doing here?”</em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I growled out the words, grabbing the baseball bat from behind the bar. I needed him gone. Needed him out of my life once and for all. Riding on a wave of fury, I stalked towards the guy who’d shattered my heart and abandoned me. I shoved Seth, my hands connecting hard with his muscular chest. <em>“You fucking asshole. Get the fuck out of my bar.”</em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Carter… just hear me out.” Seth did nothing to defend himself, an exhausted look of apology on his face, his soulful brown eyes pleading with me to listen. “Please… can we talk? This is important.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I don’t fucking care. You lost the right to my help when you chose your lies over me.” Emotions I had longed buried assaulted me, ripping open wounds that had never fully healed, even if I’d somehow mustered the strength to keep moving forward with my life, though he’d always haunted my thoughts, making it impossible to truly move on. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before Seth could argue with me, Jackson was at my side, stepping between us and taking up my fight, though I was happy to deal with himself. “Sorry, but you need to take your ass out of here, before this gets ugly.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Honestly, I didn’t come here looking for trouble. I just need to talk to Carter—and it can’t wait.” Seth sounded rattled and desperate enough to have me wondering what the hell was going on, since he’d never been anything but cool and calm, unwilling to waiver from his rockstar image—not that I cared. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I put a hand on Jackson’s arm to let him know I was okay, and had this under control. If anyone was going to throw Seth out, it’d be me. “I’ve got this. He’s leaving The Goat—either under his own steam, or with my help.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
” Jackson stepped aside, though he didn’t go far, nor did he take his eyes off Seth as I stepped forward and grabbed him by his worn leather jacket, and hauled towards the door, the patrons of The Goat all clearing the way. I ignored his pleas as I dragged him outside into the cold night and rid myself of him with a hard shove. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He spun to face me, still looking devastatingly handsome with his tousled dark hair, deep brown eyes, and new tats peeking from his T-shirt onto his neck. “Someone knows, Carter. Please… I’m not asking for a lot. I just need to talk to you.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Yeah, well, I’m fucking busy working for a living.” And just like that, I turned around and walked back into The Goat, leaving him on the sidewalk as he called my name. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not that he was going anywhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the end of the night, I found him leaning against my car, his long legs stretched out in front of him. I waved off Jackson and Nate, knowing they wouldn’t be happy that Seth was still lingering, and though they got in their car, they didn’t leave. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I shook my head and unlocked my car, pulling the door open. “You’re like a bad fucking penny, Seth.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“For fuck’s sake… I just want to talk to you.” His London accent had yet to fade, despite his years of living in the States—and fuck, but it still made my cock go hard, even he was a bastard. “Just let me buy you a midnight breakfast. There’s got to be some twenty-four-hour place around here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
” I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but if it was related to his secret, then I’d be a real asshole if I walked away without at least hearing him out. “Get in the fucking car then. Pain in the ass.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
” His expression relaxed with relief, as he climbed into my car, and I gave the boys a wave to let them know it was okay, so they wouldn’t be waiting around and worrying. I drove us out of town, towards the only diner still open this late at night. Tension hung in the air between us, our past issues too big to ignore, despite the years apart. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I’m sorry, you know… I never meant to hurt you.” The sincerity in his voice caught me off guard, though it did little to temper my hurt and anger with him. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Well that’s just fucking brilliant then. I guess that makes it all better.” I forced myself to focus on the road, my hands tight on the steering wheel as I gripped it to keep from throttling him. “Because you’re clearly here to apologize, rather than because you need something. Fucking manipulative bastard.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“It’s not as if you’d accept my apology anyway, if I’d come here out of the blue—and you sure as shit don’t want to see me, so why would I have come here to stir things up other than because I need your help and my life is on the line.” He let an exasperated sigh and ran a rough hand through his hair, the action at once so familiar. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ignoring him, I pulled into the parking lot and walked towards the diner, leaving him to follow, without so much as a glance in his direction. Because he might be in trouble, but he was still an asshole. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, I should have known better than to go anywhere in public with him. We’d barely been shown to our table when heads began to turn in our direction, and a rumble of whispers started. I groaned, hating this, knowing exactly how it would play out, his adoring fans swarming him for autographs and pictures. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>And I was in no fucking mood</em>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As Seth’s fans found the courage to approach him, I bit back my frustration, and waited it out, grateful that it was two in the morning and most his fans were in bed. And being the constant performer that he was, his mood shifted to a carefree smile that lit up his eyes with a sultry soulfulness that even I had a hard time ignoring, which was exactly why Seth Black was so fucking dangerous to be around. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To his credit, he did his best to wrap things up quickly, before turning back to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Sorry about that. You know what it’s like.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Yeah… all too well, which is why you’re no longer in my life.” That wasn’t exactly the truth since we’d broken up for completely different reasons, but at the moment, I didn’t give a shit about the details. “What the fuck do you want, Seth? Because my patience with you was razor thin to begin with.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
His mood was now dead serious, and the genuine fear in his eyes was a rare thing, which only spoke to how dire things were for him. “Did you tell anyone?” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My rage returned at the implied accusation. “You’re a fucking asshole. How could you think I’d do something like that? I’m not the one who betrays people in this relationship—that honor is all yours.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
” He pulled out a letter and slid it across the table at me. “Well, someone found out, and you’re the only other person who knows the truth.</div>

” I opened the letter to a mostly blank page, with just a single line typed across it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>I know what you did at Clearwater Lake.</em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I could see why Seth was so freaked out now. “Is that it? They didn’t send anything else?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
” Seth leaned forward across the table, keeping his voice to a whisper as I folded the paper back up again. “No… nothing. I don’t even know what they fucking want with me. I don’t know who they are… what they know... They’ve asked for no money, and the cops haven’t arrested me.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“And you don’t have any clue as to who’s behind this?” Because by the looks of it, Seth was screwed. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“No… no clue at all. And that’s why I need your help. I’m begging you, if you ever felt anything for me, you won’t let me deal with this on my own.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And yet, that was exactly what I was going to do.<br />

<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> Do you read reviews of your books? If yes and it comes to your attention that a reader/reviewer didn’t get the ending he/she wanted from your book, how would that make you feel? Would it make you sad/irritated/a little dejected, or would you try to see through the comments and realise that you’ve touched a person’s life? Would it make you feel as if you had to write more, give readers what they want/need?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cali and Julie:</b> We both realize that you can’t make everyone happy, and different people want different things from a book. That said, if multiple reviewers say the same thing, then it’s something we’ll definitely look into and might consider changing. As for feeling sad or irritated, not at all. We’ve both been writing long enough to have pretty thick skin and not take reviews personally. When it comes to giving readers what they want, we definitely want them to be happy, but we also try to maintain a balance of telling the story that we want to tell. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> What’s your secret super power (well, not so secret once you answer this)? And what’s your Kryptonite?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cali:</b> Mine is both. It’s that I’m ADD, which helps me because I tend to have a lot of energy to get stuff done, but I also get easily distracted so I have a hard time focusing for any length of time on what I’m working on. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Julie: </b>This isn’t my experience of Cali at all! I feel like she’s SO focused she’d have us working twenty-four hours a day, and I’d have to sneak out to go to the bathroom and grab some tea. ;) But this is obviously great for our working partnership. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> Do your friends and family know you write gay romance? Are you open about it, or is it a secret entrusted to a few? Have you encountered any incomprehension/questions/strange looks/disapproval/the third degree? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cali and Julie:</b> We’re both open about it. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> What kind of research did you do you do for your guys, plot and theme? Do you know many MM couples IRL that you draw inspiration from? Do you have a…ahem…purely for research purposes only (yeah…right!) Grindr profile? Do you subscribe to any…sites where you can do visual research? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cali and Julie:</b> For research, we use Tumblr extensively for – ahem – visual research, and we read a lot of other MM romance books.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Roroblu’s Mum:</b> And finally, ladies, the quick fire round: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>What’s your favourite song?</b> Our song is There She Goes by the LAs, which we both love. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>What can you be bribed with?</b> Ice cream for Cali. Tea and cake for Julie. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>What about the UK/US makes you proudest?</b> Cali: I live in a very liberal state, and I’m proud of that. Julie: That we have freedom, democracy, and tea. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Tom Hiddleston or Matt Bomer? (Er, you’re allowed extra time to ogle, drool…research and compare. </b>We both love Matt! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Describe yourself in one word.</b> Cali: Amazing Julie: Lovely. (We’re doing each other, yeah baby!) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Next holiday destination?</b> Cali: Greece. Julie: Actually, it’ll be the UK! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Italian, Greek, English or French (can refer to food, drink and/or guys, lol – you choose!)</b>. Julie: All of the above. Cali: That works for me too. Just throw a Scotsman in wearing a kilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Favourite scent on a guy?</b> Cali: Mont Blanc, Legend. Julie: Just good old fashioned manly sweat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Slave to cats, BFF to a dog or something else entirely?</b> Cali: I’m a sucker for all animals, my husband is the only one keeping me from opening a zoo. Julie: I love cats. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>The weirdest bit of fan mail you’ve had is….?</b> Cali: I had a stalker sending me pictures of dead deer, while he held a rifle. Julie: Luckily I’ve so far escaped the weirdos. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Plotter or pantser?</b> Cali: Total pantser. Julie loves to plot. But we find our balance together. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Who would play Jax and Nate if the guys made it to screen? </b>Jensen Ackles for Jax, and Nate would be played by Theo James. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b> <b>Last one, I promise – what’s your guilty pleasure? </b>Julie: Brad Pitt smeared in chocolate sauce. Cali: Binge-watching series on Netflix. </div>

Sometimes love sneaks up when you’re least looking for it…. Zeke Bandy, owner of Bandy’s Finest Hotel in Old Town Stone Acres, California, is too busy for love. Not only does he oversee the operations of the historic hotel and uphold his family’s tradition of offering refuge to strays and runaways, Zeke also sings and plays down-home music two nights a week at the Stonewall Saloon and for occasional celebrations. Then Zeke meets Victor Longbow, the man of his dreams. Vic isn’t looking for love either. In fact, because of his upbringing in a strict, white foster family, Vic’s not sure he believes in love. He’s in Stone Acres to open a branch office of a national brokerage firm. He’s also hoping to find a vintage photo of what might be his Native American ancestor. After their paths cross, they become friends, then more. Connected by their experiences as orphans raised by flawed fathers, Zeke and Vic realize that some men must find love, hone it, and create families for themselves.<br />

“I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight. You’ve been a great audience.” The couple at the center table looked up at me with almost identical grins. Despite this being an extra gig in a very busy week, I’d enjoyed playing for their bachelor party—even if it made me feel my loneliness more sharply. “I’ll leave the happy couple with these words from an old Native American chief who, if he was smart, said them to his other half: ‘I will fight no more forever.’” I raised my glass of water and shouted over the noisy crowd, “To Sammy and Ned—may they have a long, happy, peaceful life together!” The raucous audience at Stonewall Saloon whooped and hollered through my words and got even louder after my last sentence. Rising from their seats, Sammy and Ned raised their clasped hands like boxers who’d won a particularly hard bout but now were on their way to a great wedding. As they gushed about how happy they were that everybody could make it to their wedding, I started to pack up my banjo and guitars. Tonight I’d left the fiddle backstage because I was so tired. I’d been burning too many candles from both ends. After locking away the instruments in the storeroom and breaking down the mic and the amps, I caught the end of Sammy’s speech. “If you enjoyed Zeke Bandy’s guitar and banjo playing, remember he’s here at Stonewall Thursday and Friday nights. We’re honored to have him play at our wedding.” When the crowd cheered, I stood, turned, and waved to the fifty or sixty bobbing heads on the other side of the stage. Whistles and catcalls joined the shouts and cheers. I had my fans and a lot of regulars in the audience. “See ya tomorrow, Red! I love you!” some drunk yelled, and the crowd cheered louder. “Oh, cut it out, guys! You’re making me blush.” And they were, with all their yells and waves and hoots and hollers. A cry went up about more beer from one side of the room, and the night proceeded like all the others when I played. Attention spans flew out the window as the beer and hard drinks flowed. Completely sober, I put away the rest of the equipment and shut off the power on the platform that bar owner Guy Stone had designated as a stage. Jimmy Patterson, Stone’s significant other and owner of Penny’s coffee shops here in Stone Acres, California, waved at me as I returned to the barroom from the storage area in the back. “I got a table!” He was trying to shout over the noise. As I limped toward him, men slapped me on the back and told me how much they enjoyed my playing. I kept moving, even though guys tried to stop me and give me requests for Thursday night. One guy even grabbed my face and kissed me, which would have been really flattering, even hot, if he hadn’t stopped, stared at me, and said, “You’re not Tom.” I turned to walk away, only to hear him shout, “Red, you’re cuter than Tom.” I didn’t turn back but heard him yelp like he’d been hit. I ended up sitting at a big table in the corner of the drinking area with a decent view of the tiny new dance floor. At the table with Jimmy sat four guys—flamboyant designer Fredi Zimmer and his husband, staid, reliable Max Greene, both of whom I knew fairly well, and two guys I didn’t know. My eyes were drawn to the one who had strong cheekbones, long blue-black hair, and vibrant adobe-colored skin. He could easily have been a poster boy for the California Native American Heritage Commission. If I could pick a guy to kiss me unexpectedly, he’d be my choice. The libido I thought dead from overwork rose from its grave. While the guys wrangled over who was paying for the next round, I took in the other man to the left of my preferred eye candy. This guy flaunted nearly white-blond hair, startling blue eyes, and a California tan, like the ultimate surfer dude. He did nothing for me, but I appreciated the effect he’d probably have on a lot of other guys here tonight. I could easily see the humor in the three of us sitting at the same table, though. Considering I’ve got bright red hair, porcelain white skin with a thick spattering of freckles, and cornflower blue eyes, this table covered a large portion of the rainbow. Jimmy introduced us while he partially stood to get Stone’s attention. “Zeke, these are two of the groomsmen, Vic Longbow and Hayden Weller. Zeke Bandy.” Both of them nodded, a nod I returned. “Hey, man. Nice pickin’ up there.” Hayden, the beach god, waved his nearly empty glass of beer at me. “Thanks.” I never knew what to say when someone complimented me after a performance. While part of me was floating on the post-performance high, the rest of me was critiquing what I’d done and what I’d like to do over. “Are you recorded?” Vic’s voice was low and soothing, the kind of sound that oddly created a center of calm in the middle of the barroom noise. I gladly stepped into the peace and took a deep breath. I looked down, fleetingly taking in the scarred tabletop, and balanced momentarily on the pinpoint of serenity Vic had presented me. “No, no recordings. I haven’t ever had the time or energy.” I shrugged. I owned and ran the historical hotel in downtown Stone Acres. When was there time to record? “Where do you get the songs? Are they yours?” Vic was focused on me so much that the rest of the table dimmed. “No. God, no. They’re all old tunes that have been knocking around forever, mostly by bluegrass and folk groups. I take it you don’t listen to this kind of sound?” He smiled. “You’ve opened up a whole new door for me, and I can’t wait to explore what’s inside this new music room.” His look caressed me enough that my dick perked, and suddenly I dared to believe my dream of finding a boyfriend and possibly a husband wasn’t as nebulous as I’d always thought. If someone this fine could look at my skinny ginger self and respond even half as much as he was, I was on the right path. I grinned at him and he at me. Yeah, he was too hot for me with his high cheekbones and exotic hair, but I could practice on him and dream, right?<br />

** I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK, BY DREAMSPINNER PRESS, IN RETURN FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sadly, I have to say that book 5, for me, is my least favorite. There were many reasons for this, but first, let's get the usual problems out of the way. The only thing lacking from this story, that was in every previous story, was the homophobic hate crime element, which was transitioned to a homophobic hate crime of family proportions, not work related. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>There was still:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• insta-love</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• everyone connected to everyone else</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
• slipping into present tense and talking to the reader</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The insta-love in this book, for me, was just far too surreal. I tolerated most of the previous insta-love stories, because they had a week or two to pretend they'd gotten to know each other off page, but this one happened over night. Literally. There was one particular quote I highlighted that really irked me. I could have believed it if they had known each other more than two days, or rather one night and a half day, and if they'd actually talked to each other about each other, but none of that is true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“I knew we'd taken a huge step, Vic and me. This wasn't just a random one-night stand.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Oh, and after a week of separation, there are tears. I just couldn't deal with that. This is the first time that the romance has been wholly, 100% unrealistic and forced for the sake of the length of the story. In the others, there was an attempt to make it look real, but this was too focused on the dilemma with Calvin, not to mention that it too 30% for one evening scene to play out, before they two MC's got into bed, on their second night of knowing each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm also sad to say that the Native American element didn't sit well with me, either. I got sick of reading about his “adobe-colored” skin, which was the only term, other than 'red clay' used to describe it. There were also instances that came across as very rude, condescending and racist. In particular, I'm thinking about the talk Vic and Zeke had about his heritage:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“You don't act very Native American, considering how you look.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“Until I started going to a few casinos in the area, I don't think I'd ever met a Native American. So any hocus-pocus and astute Native lore or sayings? You better ask someone else.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm sorry, but having a Native American character saying this stuff doesn't make it sound any less racist or stereotypical.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also didn't really like the way the two transgender characters were described. Mostly it was about the pronouns used to describe them, but the way they were described here makes it sound like a magical trick rather than the extremely difficult mental and physical transition that it is. This makes it sound much more flip than it needs to be:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
“While I was growing up, I'd basically had three granddads until two of them had transformed into women.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
There were a few spelling and grammar mistakes in this one, but I'm letting that pass since it's an ARC.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Overall, however, I just can't really enjoy this story. It's got all the elements that have frustrated me in all previous four books as well as some new ones. The characters are also much more loosely connected to the previous characters, so that I don't even get to see the likes of Jimmy or Fredi that much, to make up for it. For me, this one fell short on too many things, not least of which were uninspiring main characters and an underwhelming plot arc.</div>

Pat Henshaw, author of the Foothills Pride Stories, was born and raised in Nebraska where she promptly left the cold and snow after college, living at various times in Texas, Colorado, Northern Virginia, and Northern California. Pat enjoys travel, having visited Mexico, Canada, Europe, Nicaragua, Thailand, and Egypt, and Europe, including a cruise down the Danube. Now retired, Pat has spent her life surrounded by words: Teaching English composition at the junior college level; writing book reviews for newspapers, magazines, and websites; helping students find information as a librarian; and promoting PBS television programs. Her triumphs are raising two incredible daughters who daily amaze her with their power and compassion. Fortunately, her incredibly supportive husband keeps her grounded in reality when she threatens to drift away while writing fiction. <strong> </strong><br />

Gray put Bobby’s Heineken in front of him and shot a dark glare at Mike down the end of the bar. Bobby raised an eyebrow. Gray grunted in disgust. “All Mike wants is his money. He’s a poser.” Gray finished polishing the highball glass and held it up to the light to check for fingerprints. He placed the glass next to the others on the mirrored shelf. “He’s been trying to tap into Enzo’s wallet since he met him.”<br />
<br />
“Why would you say that?” Bobby’s leg twitched. It always did that when he was upset. Up in everyone’s business as always, he was interested in why Gray disliked Mike.<br />
<br />
“Because he’s straight. He’s the only bartender in the place who is and Keith and Zach don’t know.”<br />
<br />
“Jason worked with the guy, he vouched for him.” Bobby’s leg twitched so hard he had to hold it down. Since his friend Jack married Carlo, Carlo’s extended family bonded with Jack’s adopted family. Bobby didn’t like the fact that Mike was playing games, not only with one of his husband’s customers, but with Enzo, Carlo’s cousin, who Bobby considered to be one of his own.<br />
<br />
“When Jason told Mike that a job was available at the Sunset, he jumped at the chance. He knew how much money he could make here. Besides, Keith couldn’t have refused him the job just because he’s straight. But even though he had to know that, he lied to Keith’s face.” Gray washed another glass. “Mike would have pretended to be a Martian if that would have gotten him the job. He knew if he was gay, he’d get better tips.”<br />
<br />
“How do you know all this, if Jason doesn’t?” Bobby’s voice switched to a lower, gruffer register and he tightened his grip on his glass.<br />
<br />
“I’ve seen him around town with his girlfriend. When he introduced me, he said her name was Cathy, that was it, no point of reference. I saw them at the mall. I needed to pick something up for Mom. Cathy left us to go to a store when he dragged me aside and told me she was his sister. Why wouldn’t he plain introduce her as his sister? Why would he draw me aside?” Gray put the last glass on the rack with a little more force than necessary.<br />
<br />
“Maybe his sister doesn’t know he’s gay.” Bobby’s brows drew together. At this point, his leg was banging against the rungs of the bar stool.<br />
<br />
“Do you play tonsil hockey with your sister? I was waiting in line to get into the movies last Monday night when I saw them. My neighbor sat with my mom so I could get away for a few hours. I didn’t want to talk work so I avoided him and he didn’t see me. I sat on the other side of the theater to the back. They made out throughout the entire show. Somebody has to tell Enzo.” Gray’s fist clenched around the bar towel.<br />
<br />
“Why don’t you tell Enzo?” Bobby asked with mistrust.<br />
<br />
“You know damn well why.” Gray snapped the bar towel. “Enzo doesn’t know I exist. I like Enzo, a lot, and I’d love it if he noticed me, but even if I can’t have him, I can’t let Mike do him dirty. Mike needs money. He’s going to ask Enzo for a loan. He’s planning on skipping town once he gets the check.” Gray wiped at the bar furiously. “He’s been playing Enzo since day one.”<br />
<br />
Bobby leaned over the bar, leg moving up and down like a carnival horse. “And you know this how?”<br />
<br />
“No one pays me much attention. I’m average, nondescript, plain faced, medium height—people tend to overlook average. They see handsome, ugly, tall, short, but not average—gray. My name suits me, Grayson Grey. Mike didn’t notice I was there when he was on the phone with Cathy. He told her he’d get the money from Enzo and they’d elope to Las Vegas. He said he’s been setting Enzo up since the bachelor party and she shouldn’t worry. Enzo was chaffing at the bit and would give it to him without a question. From what I could hear, and I admit, I stood there and eavesdropped, she was pissed because he gambled away their savings.” Gray sighed and took Bobby’s empty glass off the bar. “Enzo doesn’t see me either, but I can’t let Mike do that to him.” Gray swiped at his eyes with the bar towel.<br />

Let me start by saying, this is book five in the series, and I definitely wouldn't recommend reading this book as a standalone. The previous characters had either a huge part in this story or they were mentioned/talked about constantly. I haven't read the other 4 books, and at times I was at a complete loss trying to keep up with everyone. I felt the secondary characters were too present in the story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The blurb sounded so good, and the plot was interesting, but the execution failed. The book really isn't well-written. The first part of the story is told from the POV of a set of characters from one of the previous stories. I'm guessing the author tried to use them to set up the introduction into this newest book, but it was too much. We don't get to the MC's of THIS book POV's until the 10% mark. Continually this book focuses on other people. As I said, I understand this is the fifth book in the series, but a well-written story can work the previous characters in seamlessly. That wasn't the case with this story. The main focus should have been on Enzo and Gray, and until about 50%, it wasn't. The first portion paid too much attention to Gray's mother's illness, which took over the first half of the story. If the author wanted to tell her story, then write her story, but don't let it hijack Enzo and Gray's story! Her prognosis and treatment options are explained in far too much detail and it was taxing to read. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These characters repeated themselves over and over. If character "X" told a story to character "Y", then "Y" told "Z" the same story, we had to hear the whole thing repeated again. This was frustrating. Once I've read it, I don't need to read it 3 or 4 more times. This becomes just page fillers after a while. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enzo and Gray were very likable characters as were most of the secondary characters, but when we finally get the book focused on them it moves at lightning speed. There was no build-up. No romance. The author needed to take more time with them as a couple. Things moved way too fast and Enzo is there to lend a hand and help Gray in his time of need, and while I found this sweet and endearing at times, for him to ride up on his white horse to save Gray, I also found him to be a bit overbearing at other times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was a really good plot, but it needed to be fleshed out. Maybe others will like this book, but it wasn't for me. </div>

AC Katt was born in New York City’s Greenwich Village. She remembers sitting at the fountain in Washington Square Park listening to folk music while they passed the hat. At nine, her parents dragged her to New Jersey where she grew up, married and raised four children and became a voracious reader of romantic fiction. At one time she owned over two thousand novels, until she and her husband took themselves and the cat to New Mexico for their health and its great beauty. Now, most of AC’s books are electronic (although she still keeps six bookcases of hardcovers), so she never has to give away another book. AC is a late bloomer, however, she claims to have found her niche writing LGBT romance.<br />

<strong>Sometimes you need to go back to your past, in order to move on to your future.</strong></div>
<br />
Jax Hunter has spent the last ten years trying to forget his first love Nathan Steele—and the brutal betrayal that derailed everything he’d worked so hard for. Jax has finally gotten his life back together, when Nathan returns to deliver another blow – his company is set to bulldoze the bar he’s built from nothing.<br />
<br />
Ever since that summer in high school, Nathan has been denying his feelings for Jax—the only person he’s ever loved. Nathan knows Jax might never forgive him, but when Nathan’s uncle is murdered and Nathan might be next on the hit-list, Jax is the only one he can turn to.<br />
<br />
Jax still doesn’t trust Nathan—not with his bar, and for damn sure, not with his heart. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist the undeniable passion between them. Can they overcome their past hurts and learn to trust each other again? Or will another betrayal tear them apart forever?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>Bobby and Keith’s Bachelor Party</em></strong></div>
<br />
“Who’s that guy in the corner?” Enzo Del Monte asked Mike Green. “I didn’t notice him when I came into the club tonight. “No one special…Grayson Grey.” Mike shook his head “He’s cute…I think I’m going to go over and say hello,” Enzo decided. “Don’t. He’s engaged and his fiancé is very jealous. He won’t thank you for it.” “Why is he alone if he’s engaged?” Enzo turned his head looking for the absent fiancé. If he were Gray’s fiancé, he wouldn’t let him go to a party alone. Especially a guy as beautiful as Gray. His rare smile was spectacular. “The fiancé got sick at the last minute, and Gray had to be here. Keith’s his boss.” Mike shrugged. “Don’t you have something to do with Electronic Design Associates?” Mike leaned forward moving into Enzo’s personal space. His expression and body language showed apparent interest. Enzo, having a great deal of experience with men who wanted his money, knew better than to say he owned the company. “Yeah, I’m an engineer.” “That’s a great job, better than a bar manager.” Mike took a sip of the drink in his hand. “Don’t put yourself down…” Enzo glanced over at Gray again. Mike gazed into Enzo’s eyes. Enzo shrugged, appreciating the attention, and the other man was taken so he pivoted his chair back to face Mike who wasn’t so bad himself. He glanced one more time at Gray from under his eyelashes. <em>Too bad he’s taken. He’s adorable when he smiles.</em><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*** </div>
Mike put on a sad face. “What’s wrong?” Enzo put his beer down on the bar. “Oh, it’s nothing. My mom’s sick. I worry about her.” Mike regarded Enzo from under his eyelashes. <em>He’s buying it.</em> “That’s rough. I lost my father when I was young. I can’t even think about what losing my mother would be like.” Mike’s voice lowered an octave. “I deal, that’s all you can do.” “If there’s something I can do to help, let me know.” <em>Got him.</em> Enzo’s eyes went to Gray one more time then he shook his head. <em>Stare all you want, but you’re not going near him. If anyone’s going to get a chance at the brass ring, it’s me.</em>

AC Katt was born in New York City’s Greenwich Village. She remembers sitting at the fountain in Washington Square Park listening to folk music while they passed the hat. At nine, her parents dragged her to New Jersey where she grew up, married and raised four children and became a voracious reader of romantic fiction. At one time she owned over two thousand novels, until she and her husband took themselves and the cat to New Mexico for their health and its great beauty. Now, most of AC’s books are electronic (although she still keeps six bookcases of hardcovers), so she never has to give away another book. AC is a late bloomer, however, she claims to have found her niche writing LGBT romance.</div>
