What's New, What's Coming -- July 2013

superhero_cover_brian Just Finished Writing:

I just submitted the second book in my "Sex in Seattle" series.  The working title is  "The Enlightenment of Daniel".  It has appearances by Tony DeMarco and Dr. Jack Halloran from "The Trouble with Tony" but features the romance of a new couple, Daniel and Nick.  Daniel is a patient of Dr. Halloran's and he's trying to come to terms with an attraction he's started to feel for his business partner, Nick.  It's surprised the crap out of Daniel, who always thought he was straight.  But the death of Daniel's father is shaking up a lot of his long-held convictions.   This story is my longest m/m yet at 56K words.  It has some humor like "The Trouble with Tony" but is more of a family drama.

Just Starting Writing:

A Frankenstein-style novella called "Reparation" which will appear in Volume #1 of a new gothic anthology series called "gothika".  Volume #1, called "Stitch", will feature 4 novellas in the Frankenstein/Pygmalion vein.  Anticipated publication April 2013.

Just Accepted for Publication:

A short story called "Caress" has been accepted to appear in Dreamspinner's "Steamed Up" anthology, an anthology which features m/m romance steampunk stories.  The anthology is due out Oct 21, 2013.   You can read about this story here.

Just Released:

On July 25, my novella "Superhero" came out from Harmony Ink.  You can read blurbs and excerpts on my site by clicking on the book jacket to the right.

Coming Soon:

"The Trouble with Tony" has a cover and a final galley so it should appear on Dreamspinner's Coming Soon list any day now.   It will likely release in August.

I just got through the first edit pass on "Puzzle Me This".  This novella will be out in Sept/Oct timeframe.

The cover for "Superhero" is here!

Superhero_comp2  

I have a new m/m romance YA title coming out from Harmony Ink soon (probably August) and I just got a final cover for it.   The story follows two best friends from the time they meet in second grade though high school.  One of them is an artist and the other is a star wrestler and budding writer.  They create a Tumblr comic book series called "Pin Man and Pencil Boy" together, which is what the cover represents.

Here's the blurb:

SUPERHERO:

It’s not easy for a young gay artist like Jordan Carson to grow up in Jefferson, Wisconsin, where all anyone seems to care about in middle school and high school are the school sports teams. But Jordan was lucky. He met Owen Nelson in the second grade, and they’ve been BFFs ever since. Owen is a big, beautiful blond and their school’s champion wrestler. No one messes with Owen, or with anyone close to him, and he bucks popular opinion by keeping Jordan as his wingman even after Jordan comes out at school.

Their friendship survives, but Jordan’s worst enemy may be himself: he can’t seem to help the fact that he is head-over-heels in love with a hopeless case—his straight friend, Owen. Owen won’t let anything take Jordan’s friendship away, but he never counted on Jordan running off to find a life of his own. Owen will have to face the nature of their relationship if he’s to win Jordan back.

Excerpt from "The Trouble With Tony"

tony_cover_br My new novella, "The Trouble with Tony," is coming in August from Dreamspinner Press.  Yay!  It's the first in a new series of stories that revolve around a sex clinic in Seattle.

Here's the blurb:

As part of the investigation into the murder of a young woman, Seattle P.I. Tony DeMarco poses as a patient of Dr. Jack Halloran, the therapist who treated the victim at a Seattle sex clinic. This isn’t the first time Tony has gone undercover, but it’s the first time he’s wanted to go under cover with one of his suspects. He can’t help it—Jack Halloran is just the kind of steely-eyed hero Tony goes for. But he’ll have to prove Halloran’s innocence and keep the doctor from finding out about his ruse before he can play Romeo.

Dr. Halloran has his own issues, including a damaged right arm sustained in the line of duty as a combat surgeon in Iraq and the PTSD that followed. He’s confused to find himself attracted to a new patient, the big, funny Italian with the puppy-dog eyes, and Tony’s humor slips right past Jack’s defenses, making him feel things he thought long buried.  But can the doctor and the P.I. find a path to romance despite the secrets between them?

And here's the first chapter:

~1~

Marilyn White was dead. She’d been prom queen, elementary school secretary, blueberry muffin maker, and Yahtzee champion in her household since the age of eight. And now she had a headstone and a closed case file with the Seattle police.

Tony DeMarco liked to know these things about his lost souls. It hurt more, made it more personal. But it also enabled him to see into the victim’s circle of friends and family a little more clearly. If there was a snake in the grass, he wanted to step right the hell on it.

“You’re late,” Detective Mark Woodson complained as Tony slid into a booth.

“Hey, I’m buying lunch, aren’t I? Stop whining or you’ll end up with a glass of tomato juice and Saltines.”

They shot the shit until the burgers arrived. Tony caught up on the macho soap opera that was the Seattle Police Department. He’d given them five good years until a bullet in the leg had made him rethink his priorities. He hadn’t exactly been in the closet when he was on the force, but he didn’t announce it either. Add being naturally awkward on top of being gay, and Tony was never going to make cop of the year. As a private eye, he worked alone and could cherry-pick his cases depending on how much he felt like risking his nuts at any given moment. He didn’t usually do murder, but he hadn’t been able to resist that photo of Marilyn White, with her long brown hair, smattering of freckles, and million-dollar smile. And he couldn’t say no to the grief on her parents’ faces when they’d begged him to take the case.

“So… Marilyn White.” Mark shook his bald head morosely. “Between you and me, I’m glad to see someone pick up the ball on that one.”

“You don’t buy the coroner’s ruling of accidental overdose?”

“No history of drug abuse. How dumb do ya have to be to take a whole bottle of antidepressants in one go?” Mark snorted derisively into his cup of coffee. “I’m tellin’ ya, Tony, this is what’s wrong with the world today. Everybody does the bare minimum, takes the easy solution. No one can be bothered to pull something out of the assembly line for two seconds and really fucking consider it. The coroner’s office is no different.”

This was surprisingly philosophical coming from Mark. Tony felt a surge of admiration for him that lasted nearly five seconds. Then Mark gave a hearty belch. He pounded his chest with a fist. “’Scuse me. Heartburn.”

“So who do you think did it?” Tony asked. “The husband?”

Mark grunted. “Isn’t that your job? What was I just saying about being lazy, dickweed?”

“Yeah, yeah. Just asking your opinion. Because, you know, you’re my hero. I wanna have your babies.”

Mark snorted. “Get in line.” He looked around, as if making sure they weren’t being listened to. He lowered his voice. “The husband is out. He has an alibi. But if the chief hadn’t made us drop the case, you know what I would have been on like white on rice?”

“No, Mark. That’s why I’m asking.”

“Shut up. We found out from Marilyn’s insurance records that a few months before her death she started going to a sex clinic.” He whispered this last with barely moving lips, as though a lip reader might be in the vicinity.

“What?”

“Yeah. Place called Expanded Horizons on Pike. It’s legit—you know, they treat frigidity and erectile whoosits and all that sort of thing.” Mark knocked on the wooden table. “God forbid.”

Tony felt a flush of embarrassment and a niggling pain at the words. With an effort, he pushed it aside. This was about Marilyn, not him. Tony pictured her as she’d been in her photos—not yet thirty, slim, and beautiful. “Why would Marilyn need to go to a sex clinic?”

Mark barked a laugh. “No fucking clue. Naturally, I went and interviewed her doctor, a guy named Jack Halloran. But all I got outta him was a chill the size of Alaska. Doctor-patient confidentiality, he says. Sexual issues are extremely sensitive, he says. Doesn’t matter that she’s dead, her wishes for privacy have to be honored, he says. Yadda yadda. I’m telling ya, the guy’s got balls of steel. I tried everything—good cop, bad cop, vague threats, a lollipop…. He never even blinked.

“But get this,” Mark continued, leaning forward with a gleam in his eye. “At this sex clinic, they don’t just do psychobabble, they do sexual surrogacy. You know—a little sexual healing between the sheets. So I figure this Halloran, maybe his relationship with Marilyn got a little deeper than it shoulda. Pun intended.”

“No way,” Tony said. “They have sex with patients? Isn’t that illegal?”

Mark shrugged. “Consenting adults, ‘medical therapy’, etcetera. Nah, it ain’t illegal. They’re actually licensed for that shit.”

Tony sat back in the booth, chewing his lip. He didn’t like the sound of that. Or maybe he did. A clear suspect made his life easier. “How come you didn’t get a warrant for her medical records?”

Mark looked disgusted. “I tried, but then the coroner’s ruling came in and the case went in the hopper. You know how it goes. Like every other asshole in this city, we got too much shit to do and too little time to do it.”

Yeah, Tony knew very well. The homicide department picked up suspicious deaths from the moment the body was found, but it was best not to get too attached. A case would close in a snap if the coroner didn’t rule homicide. They couldn’t have one branch of the city paying for work another branch said was unnecessary. It was a shame, but that gave Tony plenty of work if he wanted it, helping families like Marilyn’s when the cops wouldn’t.

“You get anything at all on Halloran?” Tony asked.

Mark sighed. “I dug around. Medical degree from U-dub. Top of his class. Get this—he was a combat surgeon in Iraq ’til eighteen months ago. Wounded and shipped home. The guy’s either a fucking super hero or a walking time bomb. You can make up your own mind about that one.”

Tony raised an eyebrow at Mark: And what do you think?

“Ka-blam,” Mark said.

 

~2~

Ka-blam!

Bombs were going off everywhere. The infernal noise and the concussion of the shock waves battered Jack’s body and pierced his eardrums. He was running as fast as he could, but it was hard with his arms twisted behind him and the heavy weight of a gurney in his hands. Somewhere back there, Smith, a hospital corpsman, was holding on to the other end of the gurney. And between them was a bleeding mass of flesh that had once been a strapping youth and was now a dying boy. That boy would either make it or not, depending on how fast Jack could get him away from the twisted wreckage and back to the BAS.

Move it, move it, move it, move—

There was a blinding explosion and everything went black. There was no pain, only a profound shock and numbness Jack had thought was death.

He landed on the floor next to his bed. The pain of bashing his leg in the fall jarred him awake even as the scream tore out of his throat.

“NO!” he yelled to the guiltless dark.

 

 

Jack poured a cup of coffee in the small staff kitchen at Expanded Horizons. The tremor in his right hand was worse than it had been in weeks, thanks to the nightmare, and it made the simple task a chore. He hadn’t had a nightmare like that in exactly fourteen days, according to the log his therapist had encouraged him to keep. The time between them was slowly growing, but that didn’t make it any less shattering when they occurred.

Jack grimaced and mentally spelled out the steps for himself, just like he’d been taught. Plant the bottom of the cup firmly on the counter, release it, pour carefully with his left hand, put the coffee pot back. It had taken awhile, but by now, it was habit—always, always hold the drink in your left hand.

The shrapnel from the explosion had sliced and diced his right arm as if he’d run into a hailstorm of Ginsu knives. He was lucky not to have entirely lost it, but his friends back at base had pulled out all the stops. Jack still had the arm, but there was nerve damage. In other words, he’d never be very good with chopsticks, his friend and co-doctor, Colonel Rick Mayberry, had teased. Rick hadn’t added, Or perform surgery ever again.

Major Jack Halloran. At thirty-six he was a light bulb in a prehistoric cave, the best of his skills now useless.

He’d tried. Once the worse of his physical recovery was over, he’d pushed himself and had gotten a job in a Seattle E.R. But one night they’d wheeled in a motorcycle crash victim and the blood and trauma had triggered him. When he came to himself, he was huddled in the corner of a supply closet, his face wet with tears. The hospital didn’t argue when he turned in his resignation.

Bulb. Cave.

That’s how he’d ended up at Expanded Horizons. Sam, an old friend from medical school, was married to the clinic’s owner, Trudy. She was one very smart lady doctor. She offered to give Jack a chance if he’d attend an intensive training course in sexual counseling. He had, and she did.

Jack supposed he was good at it. It was ironic. He’d always been a gay Lothario, cheeky, horny, and an unrepentant flirt. In the Army, the doctors and nurses had called him Mighty Jack Halloran. It was a bit of an affectionate jab at his modest stature, at least he’d assumed so, but mostly it was about his ability to enter any bar and pull a man. He’d been the kind of guy who’d get up and dance on the bar if he’d had a few. Not a shred of shyness. Back then, he’d never thought twice about sex as a biological function that could fail. It was just pleasure, a very agreeable release that could help him forget the stress and the blood for a while. Now here he was, tending other people’s libidos for a living. And even as he lectured his patients about how everyone needed—and deserved—human contact, his own sex life had never been worse.

Life sure had a twisted-as-fuck sense of humor. Hardy har har.

“Your schedule, Dr. Halloran,” Loretta said in a cheerful voice.

Jack put his coffee cup carefully down on the counter and turned to her with a professional smile. “Good morning, Loretta.”

She gave him the day’s computer-generated itinerary on a sheet. “You look like a cat someone hit with a truck,” Loretta said, peering near-sightedly into his face.

“Same to you,” Jack said politely. He put his itinerary on the counter, and his good hand went up to his hair self-consciously to smooth it down.

“No, the eyes,” Loretta said. “Federal Express.”

“Your honesty is so refreshing.”

Jack scanned his appointments for the day. There was Mr. Federman, a man with deep sexual insecurities, Mrs. Kendle, an eighty-six-year-old who refused to give up on her sex life (and good for her), and Mr. Rose with diabetes-related E.D. There was a new name, though, at ten o’clock.

“Was she worth it?” Loretta asked. Jack looked up to see her forced smile and the nervous fluttering of her eyelids.

“Loretta,” Jack said patiently. “I’ve told you before, I’m gay. There were no hot assignations last night, more’s the pity. And if there had been, it would have been with a he.”

“Sure,” Loretta said with a small, hurt shrug. “I understand.”

Jack mentally rolled his eyes. The clinic’s receptionist was a redhead with proportions so generous they bordered on philanthropic. She was thirty-eight going on twenty, and for some reason, she was quite smitten with Jack.

“Seriously,” Jack told her with his no-nonsense stare. “Gay.”

“I get it,” Loretta gave a put-upon sniff that said she didn’t believe a word.

Jack sighed and glanced back down at his schedule. Loretta had marked lunch in Trudy’s office. That only occurred if his boss wanted to talk to him about something. He felt a trickle of worry but pushed it aside. He’d find out what it was about soon enough.

“Who’s this Tony DeMarco, ten o’clock?”

“Male, thirty. He asked specifically for you. He didn’t want to discuss his trouble over the phone, so I guess you’ll just have to be surprised.”

Jack frowned. He didn’t like surprises.

 

That's it--I hope you'll enjoy it.   I'll post when it is available for pre-order.

Reviews for "The Lion and The Crow"

There are a few reviews out for "The Lion and the Crow" REVIEWS:

mmgoodbookreviews

“I’ve always enjoyed a good medieval romance about knights, kings, conquerors and the rough times they lived. This is a wonderful and convincing blend of those gallant men and how an m/m romance may have played out. There is deceit, adventure, bloodletting, battle scenes, heroic rescue, and of course daring love scenes. I won’t give it away, but I love the scheme the MC comes up with to save the day and attempt to rescue the damsel in distress. If you love tales of knights and castles, you’ll love this gem of a story.”   See full review

 Brief Encounters blog

“There were some tense elements to this that kept the heart pounding and fascinated with finding out what would happen. It was also very sweet in places, getting that “yeah, come on, just be heppy with who you are, lads” feeling going. … It is a slow burner, so if you like the lust simmering along with that “will they, won’t they?”, “Can they, should they?” element, then you’ll like this.”   See full review

I've been blown away by the fantastic "Love Has No Boundaries" event sponsored by the m/m romance group on goodreads.  Throughout June they've published FREE m/m romance stories by both well-known and new authors. This huge collection is like a sampler box of the best m/m romance in the business.  There's also a selection of genres--contemporary, historical, fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi.  I read mostly contemporaries so this has been a great way to break out of my comfort zone.

I haven't read ALL the stories published so far, but I've read quite a few.  ALL the authors who've submitted work, completely unpaid, deserve kudos.  This list I've compiled includes all of the releases rated over 4 stars by the goodreads readers plus a few of my other favorites.

Note that all these stories are m/m romances and most have some explicit m/m sex.

18003646

NOR IRON BARS A CAGE by Kaje Harper,  Rated 4.59 on GR (of 5 stars), 103K words

This is a monstrous fantasy novel at over 100K words.  And it is stellar.  I read it without stopping it was so good. It's a rich fantasy world and the story involved a scarred ex-mage and an ex-soldier who helps pull him out of his shell.

 

18129160

YOU GET FULL CREDIT FOR BEING ALIVE by Cari Z, rated 4.42 on GR (of 5 stars), 39K words

Contemporary/Thriller.  Wow, this is definitely one of my favorites of this event.  An ex assassin finds a man nearly beaten to death in the woods behind his home.  He takes him to the hospital, but the two of them make a connection.  The assassin watches over the man and eventually rescues him from the people who still want him dead.  Excellent thriller/espionage details, a sexy romance, and one bad ass motherfucker of an MC.  Yum.

 

18069488

TREASURE by Kim Fielding, rated 4.29 on GR (of 5 stars), 38K words

Kim Fielding has some excellent books out ("Brute" is on my top ten list).  This story is also a delight to read.  It's in a fantasy setting that is vaguely 14th century or so and involves a sickly young man who is sent to vacation in a sea town for his health.  He rescues a man on the beach and finds himself at odds with pirates.  Fun and sexy.

 

18049727

WINTER WINDS by Misouri Dalton, rated 4.26 on GR (of 5 stars), 40K words

A story about a beautiful deaf vampire rejected by his own kind who finds an ally and true  love.   I haven't read this one yet, but it's very highly ranked by the GR readers!

 

18073225

THE SENTINEL by Eden Winters, rated 4.25 on GR (of 5 stars), 16K words

Sci-fi m/m romance.  A part-man-part-droid who is a somewhat mindless soldier for the Federation saves a baby and breaks free of his programming. To save the child he hides on a remote planet and falls in love with the fisherman who rescues him.  This is an interesting tale with some nice myth-building and family dynamics.  Imagine the Terminator turning into a softie over an infant!

 

18005142

PRISONER 374215 by Angel Martinez, rated 4.22 on GR (of 5 stars), 10K words

This is a sci-fi story set in a prison during a dark, dystopan future.  This story is about a prisoner so abused that he's lost his own name and the male prison guard who helps him remember who he is.  Very poetic and hurt-comfort-y!

 

18060722

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN by Lyn Gala, rated 4.20 on GR (of 5 stars), 40K words

An excellent character-driven sci-fi story about a gunner on a spaceship who is uber macho and homophobic--only to discover that his admiration for his new commander is beyond platonic.  It's fun to see this character turn around and to see these two guys both bond and out-alpha each other.  The world building is interesting too, particularly around sexual identity designations.

 

18075216

WORTHY by Lia Black, rated 4.19 on GR (of 5 stars), 47K words

This is a master/slave story set in a dystopian fantasy world. It reminds me a little of Anne Rice's early erotica written as A. N. Roquelaure (the Sleeping Beauty series). Seven was born a 'dreg' with a birthmark over part of his face.  He's rescued from poverty by a noble, Demetrie. At first their relationship is very much one of master/slave but it grows into something much deeper as Seven's inner and outer beauty blossom under Demetrie's care.  It's a sort of very kinky My Fair Lady story--and I loved it.

 

17924214

SIX by Tara Springs, rated 4.17on GR (of 5 stars), 49K words

Contemporary. This is a long novella about a gay kindergarten teacher who is left with a baby when his lover runs out.  Fortunately he meets the father of one of his students and a lovely romance blossoms.  Sweet contemporary with a baby and a five-year-old.  I loved it!

 

the-lion-and-the-crow-cover

THE LION AND THE CROW by Eli Easton, rated 4.15 on GR (of 5 stars), 32K words

A historical m/m romance set in medieval times between two knights, Sir William and Sir Christian, who are forced together on a journey to rescue Sir William's sister.  This is a realistic look at same-sex attraction in medieval times as well as an action/romance story.

 

18135311

SO HOT WITH LOVE by J.H. Knight, rated 4.12 on GR (of 5 stars), 8K words

Contemporary/Established Couple.  Another quite short one that's popular with readers.  I haven't read this one yet but it's about two men on the night before their wedding remembering their journey to get to that point.

 

17874499

AN INTREPID TRIP TO LOVE by Charlie Cochet, rated 4.06 on GR (of 5 stars), 34K words

This is a contemporary shifter story with excellent, funny writing, clever banter, two macho wolf-shifting MCs, and cute kids.

 

18080641

NOTHING'S MISSING NOW by Westbrooke Jameson, rated 4.03 on GR (of 5 stars), 8K words

Contemporary. This is a short read about a man who's lost his leg and his new boyfriend.  Some nice hurt/comfort, a little humor, and some explicit sex.

 

A few more I really enjoyed.

Above are all the ones ranked 4.0 or above on goodreads (as of 6/30).  Here are a few more I personally really enjoyed:

17980045

HUMAN FRAILTIES by Jaye McKenna, 39K words

Fantasy.  A human who has 'never quite fit in' finds himself in a fantasy world with a god/hunk with a severely bad attitude.  This is a fun and sexy fantasy story with excellent writing and good banter.  There're also some nice, scary action scenes.

18046837

#FIRST IMPRESSIONS, #SECOND CHANCES by Heidi Belleau, 13K words

Contemporary, college setting.  A guy with a fashion-plate online persona and anxiety disorder is courted by a genuinely nice/cute jock.  Very fun story with lots of references to tumblr and online media.

18077237

ANYTHNG FOR YOU SIR by Max Vos, 52K words

Contemporary, BDSM.  A compelling and oddly sweet BDSM story.  Jerome is an older, grumpy Dom who lives in New Orleans. Due to a tragic past, he's not looking for anything other than someone to work in his shop.  Enter Jason, a new 'boy' who thinks Jerome is the hottest thing ever and wants to earn his love.  The New Orleans setting is evocative, the characters are fun, and the sex is hot and surprisingly tender.

17900357

WHEN IT'S RIGHT by Aria Grace, 33K words

Contemporary.  I'm a sucker for men-with-dogs stories, and this is a good one.  Alex, a man with an injured dog, falls for the new vet assistant, Shane.  Shane just moved to Colorado from Wyoming and is in the process of coming out. Their romance blooms apace but trouble back home threatens their future.

 

AND MORE

There are many more excellent stories published FREE for this event in June.  You can find a complete list here.  These free stories will continue to come out through July.
