Blurb:

Is Liam Van Zandt living in The Twilight Zone? It sure looks that way. The victims in the murders he’s investigating seem to have been crushed by a cursed statue.

In the middle of his investigation Liam is fighting his attraction to the mysterious Dr. Bartek Szala, a police consultant and amateur folklorist. With everything coming to a head and his Captain breathing down his neck, Liam has been denying his attraction to Bartek. But when they are thrust into a supernatural world of witches, vampires and werewolves they have to join forces or they won’t survive.

Will Liam and Bartek come out alive or will they succumb to the danger that surrounds the Legend of Black Aggie?

Reviews

We’ve gotten a couple of great reviews for The Moon’s Dirty Light. Here’s one I really liked. *g*

4 1/2 Stars from Barb at Live Your Life, Buy the Book:

“I really enjoyed this book! The whole world, with the Vamp and Were Councils and the peace treaty between the species, was classic paranormal fare…the book didn’t take itself too seriously. It was fun, funny and sexy as anything! Go. Buy the Book. You”ll love it!”

Release Day: Facing the Music

FTM1mFinally, after three years of hard work Facing the Music is out TODAY! Here’s the blurb and info where to buy.

Ethan James, charismatic leader of the rock band Texas Madmen, only wants to play music, until he meets reporter Graham Henderson. Suddenly Ethan’s world isn’t just about music anymore. But Graham’s job is to write an exclusive that will make waves. That means digging up all the dirty laundry that the band has kept under cover for years—and deciding what to do with it.

Can Ethan and Graham’s love withstand the revelations? Will the band continue to dominate, or will the music die?

Be Warned: m/m sex, menage sex between minor characters

Piracy

The other day I joked to a friend that our new book hadn’t been pirated yet, and I didn’t know if that was bad or good news. *g* Well, as of today its bad news. From another friend, I found out The Moon’s Dirty Light was on a pirate site and had been illegally downloaded 54 times! I sent a DMCA/Copyright violation notice so the site would remove. They haven’t. That’s $323.46 dollars of revenue I’ve lost so far because the file sharing site won’t do the correct legal thing and remove my book.

I know some readers think authors whine about piracy too much. But when you realize that on average each m/m novel only makes $2000 for the author (poll on Reviews by Jessewave), three hundred dollars is a lot of revue to lose. Funny thing is I’d be willing to give away a copy of our book to a minority of readers who asked so they wouldn’t have to steal. What would I want in return? A fair and honest review on either GoodReads or Amazon.
