Synopsis:

You can steal a man’s heart or you can steal his wallet, but stealing his car?…that’s just asking for trouble. Waikiki Vampire, Divine Thunder, and his husband, Tem, thought that going to hell and back—literally—was an ordeal. Now they’re home and things are a mess. Even Div’s precious car, which he calls his “other husband,” has been stolen. Picking up the pieces of their half-demolished home, they find themselves in the middle of a new and weird mystery.

They’ve employed an art historian who’s a real weirdo, and somebody keeps pinching their good wine and leaving booby traps in their garden. So they decide to hire Francois, a big, beautiful, black security expert to get to the bottom of the twisted events. But wait…now they keep seeing Div’s car, driven by the thief, all over the island. This is gonna give a whole new meaning to “thunder in paradise.”

Molokai Man is OUT NOW!!

I have a new release today!

Purchase Link: https://www.extasybooks.com/molokai-man

Molokai Man is available now at Extasy Books. I love this story and I’m so glad I got to revisit/edit my earlier version of this. Molokai is not the kind of island 99% of tourists visit in Hawaii. I hope I have captured the essence of this “Last Hawaiian Island.” I know nothing has changed in terms of no traffic lights, other drivers waving to you, spectacular cliffs and beaches, no elevators…oh, and deer that bark like dogs because that’s what they think they are!

Synopsis:

In this gay twist on the classic tale of Jane Eyre, Tracy Costantino accepts the task of tutoring Marjo, a troubled litt
le girl whose father has rented a house in the remote but picturesque Greek island town of Molivos. But this is no Mediterranean paradise…something strange is going on…
In the shadow of the town’s fabled castle, events start badly with Tracy’s new boss, imperious music composer Benoit Seguin, who is furious to learn his daughter’s new tutor is a man, not a woman. Nevertheless, as an undeniable attraction builds between the two men, Tracy becomes convinced the Seguins’ house is haunted. Some say the ancient legend of the castle’s once-kidnapped princess is coming back to life. Is the threat to little Marjo spectral? Or if it’s real, who would want to abduct her?
Increasingly confused by his tumultuous relationship with Benoit, Tracy fights the urge to flee to the comfort of his life in New York and await the birth of his twin sister’s baby. He’s bonded with Marjo, however, and fears leaving her to the increasing danger from unseen, sinister forces swirling around her. And with Benoit shut away working most of the time, Tracy believes he is the only one who can protect the young girl.
Unwilling to leave, yet rejected by Benoit, Tracy needs to decide if this is what he’s been looking for…if this is his love, love of a different color…a deeper blue…

Ever since writers began putting pen to paper…and other things like stone, rock, etc. serials have been a big thing. Some of the greatest writers of all time began serializing their books before they became novels. I’ve always been fascinated with serials and now…Amazon is launching Kindle Vella, serializing stories for readers. I have submitted my first one for them. It’s a shapeshifting, paranormal thriller called Love, Lilac and Lusio. I have to thank Lex Valentine for the gorgeous cover. 

Synopsis:

Lilac Boguske hires a hitman to kill her because it’s easier than sticking to a diet. When she changes her mind, he won’t stop. He’s tried twice and failed but has four more chances to get it right.

He knows Lusio Lannon’s true identity as a fearsome Zuni warrior with priceless gifts of supersonic hearing, unusual agility…and an unquenchable passion for murder.

MATING TOMEO – OUT NOW!!

I’ve coveted Dar Albert‘s covers forever and I have a couple now including Mating Tomeo, my Hawaiian romance set in Honolulu in 1946. It’s out TODAY on Amazon!

I love this cover and this book…it’s a story that’s important to me. Japanese residents had a very hard time after WWII ended. Their neighbors didn’t trust them and many had been secretly forced into internment camps in the islands and California…Mating Tomeo is about how two men find their way to each other in spite of everything.

Thank you Dar for my gorgeous cover!

Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YS2P47R

Synopsis: In 1946 Hawaii, Tomeo Yamaguchi harbors a secret that would be considered shameful by his traditional Japanese family-he aches for the caress of other men. Which makes it particularly devastating when Tomeo’s father hires a tanomoshi-a matchmaker-to find a bride for his son. Tomeo spends time with the tanomoshi, Shin Yamada, and as the men come to know one another, deep feelings emerge, the transition from friends to lovers inevitable. They fall into a clandestine affair, their hushed and hidden lovemaking as beautiful and breathless in their eyes as it is torrid in the eyes of others. More time spent worshipping Tomeo’s body means less time finding him a suitable bride. Shin’s forsaking his duty…but mating Tomeo is worth every stolen second.

Sinossi:

Il ballerino di hula hawaiano Bobby Kikawa nutre profonde fantasie verso l’attraente e misterioso Kimo Wilder, un kahuna molto dotato nonché kumu hula, cioè insegnante di questa danza. Bobby diventa ancora più fissato quando Kimo posa per un dipinto erotico intitolato ‘L’Amante Fantasma’. Progetta così di sedurre l’uomo, anche se questi è notoriamente etero, sposato e molto devoto alla moglie.
Rimasti soli dopo un’intensa notte di prove sulla Grande Isola delle Hawaii, Bobby riesce a persuadere Kimo ad abbandonarsi alle passioni fino allora troppo trascurate. Quando risveglia in Kimo qualcosa che nessuno aveva mai suscitato, Bobby teme e accoglie con fervore l’incredibile potere che l’uomo ha su di lui. Il leggendario danzatore s’installa nella vita del giovane, ma non tutti sono contenti della loro fiorente storia d’amore.
Le cose vanno da un estremo all’altro, tra l’indifferenza di familiari e amici. I due uomini sono pronti a sacrificare tutto l’uno per l’altro? La loro rovente storia minaccia non solo il matrimonio di Kimo, ma anche la sanità mentale di Bobby, quando scopre che l’altro è un ‘custode dei segreti’ nella cultura hawaiana… un uomo nato dal fuoco, una magia nascosta e oscura che gli antichi hawaiani chiamavano Lua.
