Genre: Contemporary MM Romance

BLURB

Tragedy brings together a reserved but brilliant sculptor and an outgoing gallery owner, friends whose love was sidetracked—but was always meant to be deeper.

BLINDSIDED

SoCal natives, Nate and Cody have been friends since childhood. Both knew they were different—and the same. At seventeen, a stolen weekend in the Florida Keys drove their connection deeper and hotter than either could imagine. They were meant to be together. Then, for reasons only Nate knows, suddenly they weren’t.

They’re still friends. Best friends. But they’ve moved on and found other partners. The yearning remains, however, despite the long-ago secret that drove them apart, and when tragedy strikes, both men find themselves in the dark. They must grope their way back to who and what they are...which they will find in each other’s arms. Sometimes, losing one’s sight can open one’s eyes—and heart.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

Cody

“You been down to your studio yet, checked it’s still in one piece?” I knew I was pushing but I couldn’t help myself. 

“No. That’s not in the cards anytime soon.” Nate’s tone was defeated and I hated that. “I need to get used to normal living before I even think about anything else.” Knowing he needed it, even though he’d say differently, I pushed a bit more. 

“Well, when you do— you should know that last week I spoke to a guy I know who teaches visually impaired people how to do art stuff. He’s involved with that society that promotes art to the blind and he also teaches techniques and stuff to help people create their own. I told him about you and he says when you’re ready, I should take you down to his place. I know that’s still a ways off but, you know. When you’re ready.” 

Marty had been adamant I push Nate back into sculpting somehow. I’d gotten in touch with people and found out what the options were. 

I held my breath, knowing how Nate felt about his art now he was blind. He didn’t believe he could do it. I knew he could. There wasn’t any argument. 

“Cody, you know I love you. And I appreciate what you’re trying to do. I’m not sure I can.” 

Oh wow, did he say he loved me? My heart went pitter-patter. I’m such a sap. “Bullshit. Just because you can’t see doesn’t mean you can’t use your hands. You have to look at things differently, that’s all.” I sniggered. “I didn’t mean to say that.” 

“Yeah, you did,” Nate bit back, but I could hear he was perking up. “Christ, I don’t know what I’d do without you. You always make me feel better, not like such a freak. Thanks, man.”

Narrated By: Joel Leslie

Length: 7 hours 47 minutes

Series: The Beacon Hill Sorcerer #2

Release Date: July 21st 2017

Genre: MM Paranormal Romance, Fantasy

BLURB

Even love can die without trust.

Angel's brother, Isaac, has returned home, and the pair begins to make slow and awkward attempts back to each other. Learning how to be a brother to a grown man instead of a parental figure has Angel adjusting his behaviors and habits, and Isaac still remains a mystery. Was it merely entering adulthood that turned Isaac away from an overprotective Angel, or does Isaac carry a secret that will keep them from finally being a real family?

Daniel Macavoy, Angel's new apprentice, is torn between his bond with Angel and the grasping machinations of his father. Dealing with a traumatized apprentice with dangerous holes in his magical education, saving Daniel may be harder than Angel first thought - especially since the biggest problem is not revenge, but guilt.

The one shining beacon in his life is Simeon, Elder vampire of Boston's only Bloodclan. Four hundred years old and sexy as sin, Simeon is warrior and sage, patient and cunning. The strength Angel draws from Simeon's devotion and the newborn mate-bond between them is steadfast and true - and the fount of death magic that animates the undead lord places Angel in the midst of a power struggle for control over himself, his lover, and his family.

Through it all, Angel is beleaguered by the unwanted attention of a troll-hybrid, the adventures of a dragon in the city, and a serial killer has decided to hunt the back alleys and midnight streets of Boston.

Contains male/male sexual content. Violence, gore, sex, vampires. A cute dragon and some snark. Okay, lots of snark.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

Angel flipped the paper, going to the section in the middle to read the rest of the front page article. They were in a café not far from the apartment, Simeon on his left and Daniel on his right. Both men were talking, and Angel peered over the top of the paper and enjoyed the sight of his lover and apprentice getting along. Daniel seemed to be getting over his hesitancy towards vampires, or maybe it was just Simeon. 

It was an hour after sunset, and most humans were at home by now, so the café wasn’t as busy as it would have been if they came in earlier. Eroch was curled up around his neck like a fancy necklace, though the wee beastie was a bit heavier. Angel was glad the place was nearly empty. Eroch burped, full from his cranberry scone, and Angel smiled when he felt the rumble of his wee beastie’s snores. 

Simeon was within reach, and Angel could almost feel his undead mate’s presence. Simeon hummed in his space, so subtle and deep Angel could hardly distinguish the frequencies of Simeon’s energies from the beat of his own heart. The Leannán bond between them was a translucent shimmer that coiled and spun through the air, silk spun from light and energy, and Angel could see it from the corner of his eye and sometimes when he shut them, all without summoning his inner sight. Their bond was still so new, and while a thousand times stronger than it had been the first night it was forged, Angel still feared it would shatter. Simeon said it was breakable right up into the final bond was set in place, and if it was to be broken, it could only be sundered by death or… choice. Angel’s choice.

BLURB

In a world where magic is real and evil walks amongst humanity, a young sorcerer is beset by enemies, both old and new.

Angelus Salvatore is the only necromancer in all of Boston, and his name is whispered warily by the undead and fellow sorcerers alike. He and his brother Isaac are the lone survivors of an attack by an army of the undead, in which Angel used a spell so powerful it forever marked his place in history. Now, years later, Angel struggles to balance his career as a teacher of the higher magical arts, his role as big brother, and a tenuous relationship with an Elder vampire from the local clan. When his brother's boyfriend is used as a pawn in a mysterious plot to draw Angel out, Angel is once again drawn back into the old hostilities that fueled the Blood Wars and led to his family's death.

Leaning on others for help is something Angel cannot do, and while he searches for clues as to who may be targeting him and his brother, Angel finds his heart steadily growing occupied with Simeon, Elder and vampire. Dealing with death magic and vampires on a daily basis may leave Angel jaded when it comes to life and staying that way, but the more time he spends fending off the ancient vampire's attention and affections, the more he realizes he wants to give in.

Can Angel find out who wants him dead, and keep his heart safe in the process? How can he fall for a vampire, when his whole family was torn apart by an army of the undead? Death stalks the streets of Boston's historic Beacon Hill...and there is no one more suited to battle against death than a necromancer.

About the Author

I'm a self-employed writer who stresses out about the silliest things, like whether or not I got my dog the best kind of snack and the fact my kindle battery tends to die when I'm at the best part in a book. I write mainly gay romance, erotica, and urban fantasy, with occasional forays into contemporary and paranormal. I love a book heavy on plot and character evolution, and throw in some magic, and that's perfection. My current series are: The Beacon Hill Sorcerer, Bred For Love (as Revella Hawthorne), and The Wolfkin Saga. My last two novels in the Beacon Hill Sorcerer won 3rd Place in the Gay Fantasy category for the 2016 Rainbow Awards.

I live in New Orleans, where the personalities are big and loud and so are the bugs! New Orleans is rich in cultural history, and the flavor and music of the City is impossible to hide. Before that, I lived all over the United States: Tampa, Western Massachusetts, Indianapolis, and on and on.... I'm a nomad, and I've yet to find a place that calls to me strongly enough to become home. My faithful travel companions are my dog Micah, the numerous voices in my head who insist they all get put on paper, and the wind at my back.
