Nick and Marlowe aren’t like my other rockers. Not really. A little grittier. This series doesn’t gloss over the presence of drugs in the world of rock and roll.
Don’t let the mention of girls at the beginning of the excerpt fool you. Both Marlowe and Nick are bisexual — Marlowe knowingly, Nick is the gay-for-you — but all the sex in the book is m/m.
BLURB
Sex. Drugs. Rock ‘n Roll. Nick Gorman’s got it all. He’s on top of the world, living his dream, playing guitar on stage in front of thousands of people with non-other than Marlowe. The famous singer could have had his choice of anyone to replace his former guitarist, but he picked Nick to tour with him. Now Nick’s star is on the rise, all thanks to Marlowe, who’s not only Nick’s idol but is fast becoming a terrific friend.
In the blink of an eye, it all turns upside down. A drug-hazed time in a bed alone with Marlowe forces Nick to be aware that the rock star’s interest in him is more than just friendly. Then, before he can even react to that, both singer and guitarist are in a near-fatal accident that could ruin both their careers.
What now? Marlowe’s in jail for two years and Nick is broken. Could they ever play together again, let alone explore the sizzling reverberations that still exist between them?

Dance music filled Nick’s head, guiding the throb of his heart. His skin was alive, the merest brush of a breeze was like someone was licking his dick. Nick didn’t usually dance but the drugs in his system had him gyrating and twisting with dozens of other bodies underneath the streaks of a portable strobe light. Maybe he wasn’t so much dancing as just moving to the beat. That he could do. The very ground was pushing at the soles of his feet, making him move. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with his hands but a few willing girls were happy to give him nice handholds. In turn, they ran soft hands and curious fingers over his bare back and arms, some taking a bit more advantage to cup his ass or slide around front to brush the bulge of his half hard cock through his jeans. Gloriously free, Nick closed his eyes, twisted, turned then buried his face in a fragrant neck as his senses expanded beyond any scope of reality. Continue reading EXCERPT – Reverb
New Images & New Gallery
For better or for worse, I’m making my new online gallery live.
It’s done in ZenPhoto. I don’t like the theme but I can’t change it. Don’t have access to the files. I’m hoping Dreamhost will update that in the future. Until then, the theme will do. There’s also no link back to the main site, but I’ll see what I can do about that.
On the upside, it should be easier to search. Images are tagged. Commenting is certainly more streamlined and precise. Now you can even rate images.
Plus, there’s a few new images in the 2011 gallery
Update
So, I sucked keeping in touch in March. Pretty much in February too. I’m trying to be better for April. But before the month ends, here’s a quick low down.
Reverb was sent to my editor today. She estimates that it should be out sometime in May. I’m going to try and get an excerpt and blurb up in the next week or so.
I’m going to be at the RT Convention the weekend of April 6-10. I won’t be there everyday but I’m on a panel at 2:45 on Friday and I’ll signing books on Saturday. I’ll should have Heaven Sent (1st print, so Heaven and Purgatory) and Dark Elves: Taken (so Taken and Mastered). Never done the signing before so it should be an adventure.
My next project is another Santa’s elves story. Yes, I know I promised Leashed 4 but Toys for Good Girls (working title) should be short and sweet and I need something light after the hell Reverb put me through. If you can’t tell by the title, this Santa’s elves story will be m/f. Bok’s story. Sorry, m/m fans but I do write girls and I miss it.
Then I’ll be diving into Leashed 4. I’m pretty sure. Meg and the boys have been talking and I think my having abandoned them at the beginning of last year scared them. Let’s hope they’re talking.
Some people have been asking about images. I have done some for 2011 but I’ve been waiting until I get my new gallery up and running. I really hate how my images are on the site now and I’m trying to find a way to fix it. Unfortunately, that means uploading all the images again and there was no import. I think I’m almost done. So maybe April will bring some new visual goodies as well.
Ummm… what else? Can’t think of anything. Questions?
Finished Reverb Rough Draft
I don’t usually post about these things, but this particular story has been kicking my ass so I’m going to hoot about it.
Just finished the first rough draft for Reverb. WOOOT!
This is my longest to date. At present, it’s just over 80,000 words. I believe it’s my longest story to date.
My work’s not done, of course. Now I’ve got to go back and polish it up. This one’s going to take a lot of polish, I know, because it took me most of the book to really figure out what was happening. Ah, the joys of writing by the seat of my pants. But I know the story now so that’s a relief. Now I need to make all the nit-picky details go with it.
Not sure when it’ll be out. Not sure when it can fit into the MLR Press release schedule. My own fault for that, not them. I was scared to commit until I had the story down. But it should be out sometime this year.
I’ll try and get at least a blurb on the site sometime in March. Until then, I can tell you the guys on the cover are Marlowe — taller one — and Nick.

Carson’s quiet sobbing filled the early morning air. Heedless of the expensive red Chinese silk of his robe, he sat on the dusty floor of his balcony, back wedged against the stucco wall, shoulder against the sturdy wooden posts of the railing. Dawn had just broken over the roof of the apartments across the courtyard from his, washing his haven in weak golden light. Summer was on the wane, and fall had taken root, turning the leaves of some of the trees that shaded him from green to dusky brown. Hugging his folded legs, he rested his forehead on his knees and gave in to the misery that was his life.
“You better think hard, baby.” Anthony’s cruel tone echoed in his head. “You go on and see how far you get without me.”
Despite his anger, Carson knew the answer to that — he wouldn’t get very far without Anthony to support him. His job with the burlesque show would barely cover the rent on his apartment and utilities. He’d become far too accustomed to relying on Anthony for all the little extras like clothing, entertainment, and food. For a glorious six months, Anthony had taken care of him. He knew that. Silly him to think that since the man had done so thus far, he’d want to do so on a more permanent basis. He’d thought that moving in together and becoming a real couple was the next step.
Boy, had he been wrong. Continue reading EXCERPT – A Rose is a Rose
