I’ve been struggling with a new tagline for my books that will encompass all of them—something Jeff Goins calls a manifesto. I used to use “gay men in love and danger,” but that doesn’t cover my golden retriever books or some of the other miscellaneous things I’ve written.
It’s an interesting exercise, to look at all the thirty-plus books I’ve published and see if there is a common thread that...

| I loved this book! Finny and Roark are real characters (though Roark is the titular Fae prince) and their desire to be together, complete with the angst that comes when it appears they can't, makes for a great story. I'm looking forward to the next i ...more | |

| I really loved the characters of Flick and Nate, and the charming village around them. The basic premise is a bit over the top-- parents buy their daughter a French chateau for a wedding gift, but then no one seems to have the money to fix it up. But ...more | |

The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras (A Pot Thief Murder Mystery #1)
by J. Michael Orenduff (Goodreads Author) |

| What an intriguing, fun voice to hear from. I really enjoyed the landscape of New Mexico that Orenduff presents, and there was a lot of lovely description. The two characters, Hubie and Suzanne, are interesting and well-worth spending time with. I'm ...more | |

A quick read which appears to fall in the middle of the author's series. However, it can easily be read as a standalone -- though because the object of Murdo Balfour's affection does not appear, it can't really be called a romance. Balfour is intrigu ...more |

I'm honored to be on your favorites list. Thank you.James Thompson
Hi Neil. Thanks so much for Friending me here. Lovely to catch up with you. How's the writing going?
Congrats on the release - it posted a little early. I've been waiting for this one.
Will do, Lori, once it's available at Amazon (in about a month or so). Right now it's only at the Loose Id website.
Neil, congrats on the new release! Gonna add it to Goodreads? :)

With Liam and Aidan that can only mean all kids of delicious things :O) Sooo looking forward to their next adventure.

Thanks so much! I love Liam and Aidan too and am always glad to hear that others do! The third book in the series, Teach Me Tonight, sends them on assignment together to a summer study program in Bizerte, on the Mediterranean coast, to protect a student who has been threatened. Aidan rediscovers how much he loves teaching, and Liam's friend Joey shows up... leading to all kinds of complications! It's in the copy edit stage now so should be out in the next month or two.Best,
Neil
Hi Neil,Thanks for the invite...Can I just tell you I read Three Wrong Turns in the Desert and Dancing with the Tide this week and LOVED THEM!! I read with a group of friends, and we just could not get enough of Liam and Aidan. What fantastic men, so sweet, funny, and HOTTTT! The adventure was great as well.
Anyways thanks for great books and looking forward to more of those boys!
Have a great weekend :O)
thank you so much for the friend acceptance Mr. Neil :)Tame
