Working on some new things, signed a contract for Phantom Lure - Driver, a new series with Changeling Press and I'm working on Vald's story, fourth in the Dirty Rotten Vampire series. You can find a free read titled Not The Garden of Eden at Changeling's Encounters to whet your appetite for the vampire of vampires. And, yes, Adam does make a rather naughtly appearance! Finalized the edits for Repent in Love coming May 20th from Ellora's Cave, and have another book, Grind, slated for July, hmm...need to check that out for sure. But here's a snippet of Grind.
Ten o’clock and traffic in and out of the
front entrance slowed. The bartender leaned over and asked, “You good, Raider?”
“You know I only have one.” He’d spent more
nights here than any other bar in the city waiting for something that would
never come. Waiting for something that would never come. There wasn’t a person
in the world special enough to put up with his bullshit.
“Let me know if you want anything.” Saucy bastard
winked at him, emphasizing anything.
“You’re out of my league.” Rumor was Eggie
wielded the stallion-sized cock between his legs like a pro. Combine that with
his Latin good looks and he could pretty much walk out tonight with any man he
wanted.
“You can handle me.”
Raider had considered bedding the
powerfully built man a few times and there was a day he’d have enjoyed taming
his ass. “Question is can you handle me?” Eggie became one of the few he called
friend and Raider confided more than he should have to the fun-loving
bartender.
“Stop being angry at every...”
“You need to tend to your customers.”
He swiped a cloth across the counter and
eyed Raider. “Be a lot easier to find what you’re looking for.”
“I do okay.”
“Do you even see what looks back at you in
the mirror?”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Loneliness, man.”
Between Davis telling him to get laid, and
now Eggie’s bullshit, Raider was ready to snap like a used rubber band. “I got
everything I need.”
“And how warm is that camera at night?”
“Kiss my ass.”
“I’m trying.” The bartender smiled. “Am I
white enough for you?”
“Careful, Eggie.”
The man had opened a raw
nerve. Coming from nothing, Raider possessed two things: an eye for color and
the love of photography. He’d scraped and clawed his way up the ladder in a
field overflowing with mediocrity. He had been kicked aside, stepped on, and
kissed a lot of white ass on his way to the top. Now the industry kissed his.
Yet there was still a bad taste in his
mouth.
Go forth, enjoy the great weather and drink lots of tequila to celebrate! I am.
Growl and roar-it's okay to let the beast out.-jhalisteele
