Excerpt:
Turning, Mack made his way to the old flight of stairs that creaked with every step he ventured. Goosebumps popped up on his flesh the more he ascended. Breathing heavily, Mack took the last step and cautiously made his way down the hallway. The air hung thick, and he almost choked on it. The closer he got to room 212, the more his flight instinct raised its red flag. The only reason he kept going was that he did not want to embarrass himself by returning empty-handed because he had been spooked.
Standing in front of the door, Mack’s hand trembled as he reached for the handle, finally turning it. Blowing out a breath, Mack decided to just get it over with. As fast as he could, he entered the room, searching for the box that held the spare linens.
Out of nowhere, a blast of freezing cold air hit him in the face, knocking him on his ass. Whipping his head around, Mack searched for an open window, only to find that all of them were tightly shut.
I’m getting the fuck out of here.
Climbing to his feet, he grabbed a box, praying that it was the right one and took off out of the room, not even bothering to close the door as he descended the steps two at a time.
Clutching the box to his chest, he leaned against the wall at the base of the stairs and caught his breath.
“Hey, are you okay?” Nick came up to him, relieving him of the box.
Mack wiped his sweat-soaked forehead. What the hell was that? His heart was still pumping, and his mouth couldn’t even form the words to lie to Nick and tell him he was okay.
Megan came up next to Nick. “You all right?”
Nodding, Mack rasped out, “I’m fine…just…” He just couldn’t say it. There was no way he was going to say something weird happened upstairs, especially when he actually didn’t see anything. Hell, was it all in his head because he was freaked about going upstairs? Possibly.
Shaking it off, he finally answered, “I’m fine. Let’s go, Nick, and get the Ivy Room set up.”
“Are you sure?” Megan eyed him with concern.
“Yes, tea starts in forty-five minutes. I better get moving.”
For the next half hour, Mack and Nick set up the room. The linens were placed on the tables—thankfully Mack had grabbed the right box. They both worked in unison, setting the silverware up and getting the china out for each member of the party coming in.
“I’m just going to fill up their water glasses,” Mack called over to Nick who was doing the final touches on center pieces.
Going behind the bar, Mack grabbed a pitcher and began getting ice out of the bar well. As they both worked, the curtains billowed as a gust of wind came into the room. Mack shot a look toward Nick to see him wide eyed as the room’s temperature suddenly plummeted. Before Mack even had time to think, the bar rack above him came crashing down upon him.
“Mack!” Nick cried out from across the room as glasses began shattering all around him.
Stunned, Mack couldn’t even move an inch as the shards of glass surrounded him. The floor, the bar, even his body was covered in the sharp glass. He feared if he moved so much as an inch, he would cut himself. The sounds of people screaming and hollering broke him out of his shock, and he slowly raised his head, feeling glass fall from his hair, to stare at Megan from across the room.
“Don’t move, Mack. We’re coming to help you.” Megan gingerly made her way to him, accompanied by the sound of glass crunching under her feet.
“Not…moving.” Mack felt the glass slide down from the top of his head and fuck if that didn’t give him the biggest case of the willies.
“I’m going to need some help and a pair of gloves,” Megan called to Nick.
Nick nodded and ran out of the room.
Megan pursed her lips as she began pulling large pieces of glass off him.
“Are you okay?” Megan asked quietly as she worked the glass out of his hair.
“Not even close.” Mack’s voice trembled, and he hated that.
“What happened?” Megan asked.
Nick came up behind them and answered. “There was this blast of cold air, and then the whole bar rack came crashing down on Mack. It was a ghost.”
“It wasn’t,” Mack denied. If he denied it enough, maybe he would eventually believe it himself. Maybe.
“Hon, that rack is oak. It’s as solid as they come. Wind wouldn’t have caused it to break. Plus the windows aren’t open. I think you had an encounter, and a violent one at that. I think I’m going to need to make a call.”
“It’s not that bad.” Even as Mack said that, he knew it was a lie. Something inside him felt violated, and an air of malice hung thick over him.
“Then let’s just have it checked out for peace of mind. Okay?” Megan grabbed the gloves from Nick and began plucking the tiny shards off his shoulder and neck. Her gloves came away from his skin with a trace of blood.
Swallowing, Mack gave in. “Maybe you’re right. Make the call.”
Blurb: A Holiday Job Zombie RunThis Halloween, Drake is about to meet one guy he can’t say goodbye to.

Now Halloween is approaching, and Drake is being roped into volunteering for the charity fun run. Having to dress as a zombie is horrible enough, but seeing Wilson at the starting line has Drake ducking for the trees. Will Wilson look past the gory makeup to see Drake actually cares about him? Will Drake finally be able to capture Wilson’s heart?

“Will you knock that off?” Drake batted Ian’s hand away
“Look, asshole, I need to put this makeup on you. You volunteered!” Ian charged back in and began putting the prosthetic on his face.
“Don’t you think you’re going overboard on this? I mean, why don’t you just squirt some ketchup on me?” Drake was thoroughly annoyed.
He’d volunteered to be a zombie for Ian’s frat charity run. He had thought he would just tear some holes in a white shirt and put a little makeup on, but no, Ian wanted to scare the hell out of everyone. The guy thought he was on Skin Wars or some shit. Drake wanted to scratch the prosthetic on his cheek that was currently being painted to look like a zombie. He thought he looked ridiculous. Shaun was splattering paint all over his shirt.
“This is just a Zombie Run, guys. I’m not going to be in a movie or anything.” Drake stared up at Ian, annoyed.
“Have fun and live a little. You’ve been in a pissed-off mood for the last month.” Ian pointed out.
And why shouldn’t he be? He hadn’t found the guy he’d hooked up with last month, and it was now his all-new obsession. He hadn’t had sex with anyone since and was constantly long necking the corridors in hopes of finding that white-blond head.
It didn’t matter how hard he tried; the guy was nowhere. Drake was beginning to wonder if the guy even went to their college. Shaun had helped him, but so far, his friend couldn’t spot him either.
Drake had never been so caught up with a person in his life. Unbelievably, he’d had dreams of the guy and those sapphire eyes, but it was like this damn race. Whenever he tried to go after him in the dream, the guy took off in a crowd and he couldn’t find him. Drake growled in irritation at his own thoughts.
“It’s not that bad,” Ian chastised, probably mistaking his growl for a complaint about the stinky paint that was being applied to his face.
Drake wasn’t going to correct Ian on the matter. Then, he would have to explain to all his friends again about the big about face he’d had this year. They all had looked at him like he had lost his ever-loving mind. And he had. He didn’t even know the guy’s fucking name, yet he was hunting him down all over campus like some stalker.
Shaun came in with a grotesquely painted face and a smile. “Didn’t Quinn do a great job?”
Shaun was actually happy to look like the dead. Really. Didn’t that shit all over his face itch like crazy, or was it only bugging the hell out of me?
“You look like you got ran over by a truck.”

GRL ’14 – Odds and Ends
I suspect most everyone who reads my blog knows I’ll be going to GRL (Gay Rom Lit) this year in Chicago as a Supporting Author. [That's a fancy phrase for 'relatively new author.] (Sorry, Fancy Nancy is ‘lil q’s new favorite and we say ‘that’s a fancy word for’ a lot these days as we try to expand her vocabulary) Whew, talk about a digression, where was I? Oh yeah, GRL ’14 updates. Focus.
First, I was asked to be an “Honorary” member Team Prism’ Countdown to GRL ’14. Sounds glamorous, no? So of course I said yes. Turns out the honor really is all mine. I get to run the anchor leg of their GRL Author Flash Fiction countdown. So tomorrow my little story based on the picture prompt will be on the Prism Book Alliance Site. I’ll post a link tomorrow, but here’s a link to the Prism Book Alliance site so you can check out the other pieces now if you like:
Now a couple other odds and ends:
I’ve spent the spring and summer wondered what to expect and more importantly what to bring. The dreaded “S” word—swag—has been on my mind since almost the moment I received confirmation that I snagged a Supporting Author slot. After numerous conversations with fellow authors, people who’ve attended past GRLs as either an author or a reader (or both), I cobbled together a few things to bring. One hopes I did good.
First I had a drawstring bag made. I figured I could put the rest of the stuff I’m giving away inside the bag. I’ve also opened it up to other authors who are not attending GRL, and a few took me up on the offer and send me things to include.
Next I had GRL ’14 M&Ms made up. I had extra made so I’ll have them at my signing table at the Supporting Author book signing on Thursday. If no one comes by, I’ll be eating a LOT of chocolate that weekend.
Then, even though M&M’s melt in your mouth and not your hand, before you pop them in your mouth, your hands need to be clean. To help with that, I’m including a hand sanitizer sprayer in the swag bag. Hopefully it will help folks not go home with the GRL crud like last year. Sorry no picture. :(
I also spent some time trying to find a way to maybe get myself a bit better known. To that end, I wrote a ‘prequel’ to the Last Grand Master that deals with Farrell’s first love, when he was seventeen. The event is mentioned in passing in the book and I thought this would be a good introduction to both the characters, the world and me as an author. The book will have a 25% off discount code in the back. The book is free and I’ll have it available at the signing table. Pick one up, get it signed and the code is in the back. It’s good on whatever price Dreamspinner is selling the book for at the time you use it. So, if DsP is having a GRL sale (And I’m told they are), this code is an additional 25% off the sale price.
Last—and this isn’t really swag—I’ll be bringing paperback copies of Ashes of Life and my newest release, A Closed Door, that I’ll have available for sale. Ashes of Life, is a free read that is available for download on my site or from the Goodreads MM Romance Group’s website. But if you want it in Paperback, you can buy it at GRL.
The other book—A Closed Door—is a short story that was released on October 8, 2014 from Wayward Ink. I had a few paperback copies printed and will put them out for sale as well.
Okay, so now to deal with the rest of my GRL—what to wear, what to bring, and being social. Yeah, nothing at all to worry about—right.

All Fired Up, by Morticia Knight – Excerpt Tour and Giveaway
Today please welcome Morticia Knight as she brings an excerpt from her newest book – All Fired Up. There’s a giveaway and a scavenger hunt so make sure you read through to the end.
Blurb:
Officer Shawn Everly patrols the Strip and one night, fireman Trent Marshall saves him when danger strikes. But it’s still uncertain whether Trent can save himself from getting his heart broken by Shawn.
The party never ends on the Las Vegas strip but neither does the danger. Officer Everly is new to the beat, having recently relocated to Vegas from Los Angeles. Foot patrol on the Strip is a demanding assignment because he’s up close and personal with the public. But what he’d really like to do is get up close and personal with Station 32’s hunky fireman, Trent Marshall.
Trent has been a fireman for over ten years and is dedicated to his job. He’s built tough and is a no-nonsense man of few words. At a local blood drive, Trent meets the handsome new officer on foot patrol but won’t let himself get too close. He’s lost love before when his policeman lover was killed in the line of fire.
During an emergency, Trent’s over-protective instincts kick in when he believes Shawn is in harm’s way. He ends up embarrassing and angering Shawn in front of their fellow officers, which seems as though it will end any hope of Trent having a chance with the young man he can’t push from his mind. Shawn can’t decide whether he wants to punch or kiss Trent. Kissing wins. Once they spend some time together away from the stresses of their jobs, they find that they’re not just compatible—they’re combustible.
But Trent can’t seem to accept that there are hazards that come with working in law enforcement. Right as they’re discovering how much they mean to one another, the danger escalates on the Strip. The underground vigilante group, The Citizens Against Immorality, have raised the stakes. Will Shawn and Trent be their next targets?

Excerpt:
They arrived at the diner on the other side of the interstate and although a little run down, when they stepped inside Shawn was assailed with the aroma of homemade food. He could see why Trent would want to make it a regular destination. They sat in a booth across from one another in the very back, the place thankfully almost empty. Shawn was thrown when the waitress only handed a menu to him. He lifted his eyebrows at Trent.
“I already know what’s on that.”
“Any recommendations?”
“I’d have to know what you like.”
“You could always ask.”
Trent considered him, his eyes narrowing a little.
“Okay. I’m asking.”
“As much as I love comfort food once in a while, I tend to eat fairly healthy.”
“I like all the salads, but they make a damn good Cobb. I also like the turkey and avocado sandwich.”
Shawn glanced over the well-worn menu, the plastic laminate peeling away on parts of the edges. “Hmm. Actually, the turkey avocado sounds excellent. I think I’ll go for that.”
The server returned. Trent gently took the menu from Shawn and handed it to her.
“Two turkey avocado sandwiches, Lora.” He looked at Shawn. “Drink?”
“Iced tea, no lemon.”
He turned back to Lora. “I’ll have the same with iced tea too, but bring lemon with mine.”
“Sure thing, Trent.”
After she walked away, they were back to staring at one another. This time when heat rose to his face, it had nothing to do with the temperature.
“You still haven’t told me why you threw me over your shoulder like a caveman last night.”
He wants forthright. I’ll give him forthright.
Trent made a small grunt. “That wasn’t my intent.”
“Fine. What was your intent then?”
Trent cast his eyes down and fiddled with the spoon lying on his paper napkin. Lora came by with their drinks. Trent thanked her and waited until she’d walked away again before speaking.
“How’s your lip?”
“What? Are you nuts? Why can’t you answer a simple question?”
Shawn’s frustration grew. Trent could blurt most things out without hesitation, yet this one topic he kept dancing around.
What the hell?
Squirming in the booth, Trent clasped his hands in front of him. Shawn noted how white his knuckles became from the obvious tension-filled grip Trent had on them.
Just the facts Scavenger Hunt Clue #3: Alpha male Trent knows his way around a kitchen. Homemade chicken potpies are one of his specialties.
Author Bio:
M/M and M/M/F Erotic Romance author Morticia Knight enjoys a good saucy tale – after all, who doesn’t? Since she loves several genres, you may find your heroes in a contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi setting. One of her passions is bringing people’s fantasies to life on the page, because life is too short for even one boring moment. Her stories are volcanic in heat, deep in emotion, and sprinkled with doses of humor.

Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She now resides on the northern coast of Oregon, where the constant rain and fog remind her of visits to family in England and Scotland when she was a child.
She is currently working on the Sin City Uniforms Series and a BDSM spin-off to the Gin & Jazz series entitled The Hampton Road Club. A follow-up to Bryan and Aubrey’s story in Rockin’ the Alternative will be available in 2015.

Excerpt:
“Orin, I won’t.” Thomas stood a bit straighter and his eyes lost the sad, pleading shine. “I won’t hurt you again.”
“You can’t promise that. Things happen.” Orin watched as his words dragged Thomas back from the brink of hope.
“If you truly believe that, then there’s nothing I can do. You have to believe there’s a chance or else I can’t prove it.”
“That’s not what I’m telling you.” He locked his gaze on Thomas’s. “If I say yes, I’ll have to take down the walls I surrounded my heart with to keep it safe. Once it’s gone, I won’t be able bring it back if I get hurt. Not now.
“So what I’m saying is, think about what you’re asking me to risk. If you really love me, ask yourself if are you willing to risk what will happen to me if you can’t keep your promise.”
He knew how unfair he’d been, but self-preservation had been a skill he’d honed over the past fifteen years. He needed Thomas to know just how serious the repercussion could be for his actions.
“Orin, I . . . I . . . how . . .?” Their faces were inches apart, and Thomas moved in for another kiss.
This felt different than the first—less urgent, but no less intense. Orin trembled at the leap he was about to take. When they stepped back, Thomas rubbed his thumb across Orin’s cheek.
“I do love you, Orin. More than I can say. So much, that I’m not willing to risk what will happen if I fail you again. I don’t have that right.”
Thomas’s lips quivered and the tears welled at the bottom of his eyes. He kissed Orin’s forehead gently.
“Good-bye, Orin. Please be happy.” Without looking back, Thomas walked to the front door, opened it, and walked away.

New Release: In The Raw; by, Eileen Griffin and Nikka Michaels
Blurb:
If you can’t take the heat…
James Lassiter has had a crush on fellow culinary student Ethan Martin for three years, but has never had the guts to make a move. Putting himself out there is hard, especially when under the thumb–and wallet–of his overbearing parents. Now that bad boy chef Ethan–who is always vying with Jamie for best in class–is struggling with the pastry course, Jamie suddenly has a reason to reach out.
Ethan doesn’t mean to be an ass–okay, so mostly he does–but even though he’s secretly hot for Jamie, he sure as hell doesn’t want help with pastry. Ever since his dad walked out, Ethan has been the one to hold things together and he’s done fine on his own. Except that he can’t get his cake to rise.
Jamie could be the answer to what Ethan’s been missing his whole life–someone to depend on. But with the two competing for the same scholarship, things suddenly get too hot to handle. And if Jamie finds the strength to go for what he wants, he isn’t about to settle for what he needs.
Excerpt:
I opened the door, shivering when a gust of wind swept through. I pulled my jacket tight around my body, sighing when I saw no cabs waiting at the curb. “Shit.” I could either call information or wait a few minutes for another to drive by. I leaned against the brick wall of the building to wait when I heard the bar’s door squeak open and shut again.
“You could have waited for me, you know?” Ethan’s annoyed voice as he approached had me wondering what I’d done now.
“No worries.” I shrugged, tired from the long day and the confusing mix of emotions hanging out with him seemed to bring. “I didn’t want to rush you because I was ready to leave.”
He stepped closer, his shoulders hunched as he reluctantly admitted, “I wanted to hang out with you. Not Summer or the guys. Just you.”
I stared at him. “What do you want from me, Ethan? Half the time I don’t know whether you hate me or want to be friends. Then you do something like defend me to my father, who incidentally thinks you’re the antichrist. Tell me what we’re doing here.”
Instead of launching into the verbal tirade I expected, a determined look crossed his face and he murmured, “Fuck it.”
He stepped closer and I tensed. As unpredictable as Ethan was, I wasn’t sure what he’d do. I let it out a surprised gasp when his mouth met mine. There was nothing gentle about it. Months of tension, fighting, flirting all igniting when he touched me. Not a romantic kiss by any means…it was bruising, rough, passionate, intense, all the same things I’d come to equate with Ethan Martin. My fingers curled in the fabric of his sweatshirt, tugging him closer as my eyes slammed shut.
Braced between the solidness of his body and the cold wall behind me, I felt my entire body heat. Ethan’s ravenous lips and desperate tongue claimed my mouth, tasting of beer and mint. He slid one hand up to cup the back of my neck, holding me captive as he braced himself against the wall. I kissed him back fiercely, our teeth knocking together with the force of it.
Sounds I didn’t even know I was capable of making left my mouth and I didn’t care we were in public where anyone could see us. I nipped his lip, sighing with pleasure when he moaned into my mouth. He might be an infuriatingly stubborn asshole at times but one thing was for certain: Ethan Martin could kiss. He broke away, breathing hard as he leaned his forehead against mine.
“Wow.” I fought for breath, a smile tugging at my lips. “For once we’re actually on the same page.” As soon as the words left my mouth, he pulled back. His expression changed from needy to terrified as he released me, his hands clenched into fists.
“Ethan?”
“I’m sorry.” He backed away, staring at my face like I’d punched him. “I’m really fucking sorry, Lassiter.”
I swallowed hard and took a deep breath, raising my hands as if I was soothing a spooked animal.
“Ethan?”
He yanked up his sweatshirt hood and took off, leaving me to stare after him in silence. What the hell had happened?

New Release: Sarah Madison’s, Walk a Mile
When the chance came up to host a leg on Sarah’s blog tour, I quickly asked to be included. Walk a Mile has so many elements that appeal to me. Hot men may top the list, but its about law enforcement men in DC – hmm sounds like my life. And Sarah didn’t disappoint. This is a great book, written by a wonder author. Please take a moment to read her interview and then consider getting the book, you won’t be disappointed. -AQG
Walk a Mile, by Sarah Madison
Welcome Sarah. Why don’t you begin by telling everyone a bit about yourself.
Hah! I’m rather boring, actually. I’m a middle-aged woman living in the southern US—part of the Bible Belt. I can catch a copperhead, castrate a bull calf, face down a pit bull, and replace the rocker arm of a 1969 Chevy Impala, but have rarely traveled and lead a quiet life. I used to compete in the horse sport known as eventing, but had to retire my competition horse a few years ago. Okay, so that doesn’t sound all that boring, but trust me, it is! I work, I walk the dog, I write. Sometimes I take pictures with my little point-and-shoot camera. That’s about it.
Your latest book is Walk a Mile , talk about that.
Walk a Mile is book two in the Sixth Sense series from Dreamspinner Press. In the first story, Unspeakable Words, FBI agents John Flynn and Jerry Parker are assigned to work together on a cold serial killer case, the Grimm Fairy Tale Murders. Flynn comes into contact with a mysterious artifact during the course of a witness interview, and is gifted with extraordinary powers. This ‘gift’ proves to be more of a curse than not, and when the artifact and all its documentation disappears, Flynn has lost his only shot at reversing the curse—or so he thinks.
Six months later, the relationship, which had grown strong as a result of Flynn’s affliction, is showing the strain of Flynn’s obsession with ridding himself of his power—even as Jerry fears that without the bond of Flynn’s secret, there may be no relationship at all. When the two men discover another artifact in the Smithsonian, they head back to Flynn’s hometown to see if the curse can be broken. But they aren’t the only ones looking for these artifacts, not by a long shot!
Did you do research for the book involving the FBI?
I researched online some basic information about the FBI, but in terms of specific research, I read A Special Agent: Gay and Inside the FBI. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1331097.A_Special_Agent
I’d long known about the origins of the FBI and Hoover’s obsession with keeping homosexuals out, but this book gave me some insight into what it was like to be a closeted gay man within the organization prior to its policy changes in 1991, and how such a deeply rooted anti-gay culture would continue to have impacts on careers, despite the stated policy of the FBI.
Have you been to DC? Did you visit the Hoover Bldg (Main FBI Building) or the Washington D.C. Field Office where most of the DC agents work?
I’ve been to DC many times–it’s one of my favorite cities to visit, and I have friends i Herndon, Leesburg, and Fairfax. My brother used to live in Alexandria, and I used to live in Bowling Green, just below Fredericksburg, and have some familiarity with Middleburg (I event horses, and that’s a big horse area) I have not specifically visited the Hoover Building or the Washington field office, though it is exactly the sort of thing I would love to do. My recent visits have been mainly to the Smithsonian and the major monuments, and I’m sad to say its been a while since I’ve done that as well. I did as much research on Quantico as possible online, and I read stories and watched movies related to the area, but it is not the same as actually going there, I know. I recently found out about a camp called Writer’s Police Academy, where authors can go and experience enactments of crime scenes, prepare a case to present to a prosecute, or investigate a possible case of arson, and I want so badly to go to the next session offered that I am practically salivating. Unfortunately, I have a demanding day job, and getting time off is hard to come by. But man, oh man, I can’t think of a more exciting way to spend my only five days off each year…
Are there any notable DC landmarks that become part of the story?
Not really. The characters spend a brief period of time at Quantico, but soon end up traveling down I-95 to Richmond. I grew up in Richmond, and felt more comfortable basing Flynn’s boyhood home there. I wanted very much to make a run up to DC when writing Walk a Mile just for the local color–a few years ago I visited the UK for the first time and was struck with how different the very ground was there–and I know how important first-hand impressions are to me as a writer. I love adding the details of scent and sound into my descriptions, and you just can’t get the same depth with Google. Unfortunately, I seldom get to leave my small hometown existence, but I’m working on it. :-)
Where did the inspiration for the main characters Jerry and Flynn come from?
I have to laugh here! At the time, I was watching two different crime dramas. Each show had an episode in which an FBI agent assisted with the case—a one-shot guest spot. One character was Mr. Joe Cool, the other a fussy, Felix Unger type. It amused me to picture the two characters being assigned to work together. I love opposites-attract kinds of stories, especially the sparkage and banter that can result from such a pairing.
Tell us something interesting that is not in the blurb?
Well, this is the first time Flynn has gone back home since he’s developed these extraordinary powers—and as such, it makes interacting with his friends and family…tense. You know how hard it is to go home anyway, but with a secret like his, Flynn is even more defensive than ever. J
What part of the book was the most fun to write and why?
Well, as one reader put it, “What were they thinking? They should have known better after their last experience with a mysterious artifact!” I had far too much fun being evil to the boys. Let’s just leave it at that. *rubs hands together with evil laugh*
What part made you struggle the most?
Most of this story is from Jerry’s point of view—so we only get to see what is going in with Flynn through Jerry’s eyes. There is a point in the story, however, in which we get to experience first-hand what Flynn lives with all the time. It was challenging to depict that in a way that made sense to the reader. I hope it worked!
What have you read lately that most people haven’t read but should?
The Tao of Pooh. It’s a simple little book which explains the principles of Taosim through Winnie-the-Pooh, and vice versa. The idea is to show how often Pooh’s simple-minded approach to things reflects the Taoist Way of life. Simple doesn’t mean stupid, just uncomplicated by preconceived ideas. It also makes for soothing bedtime reading.
{Fan boy moment, I read that 25 years ago and still have a copy. I love it.}
If you could meet any writer, alive or dead, who would it be and why?
Dorothy L. Sayers. Hands down, she is my favorite mystery writer and the creator of the character Lord Peter Wimsey. I sense there is a lot of her in Harriet Vane, the mystery writer who goes on trial for the murder of her former lover, and whom Lord Peter falls in love with and ultimately marries. Through Harriet Vane, Sayers shares much of her views on women, feminism, and academia during a time when women were scarcely recognized as citizens. Plus, she tells a thumping good tale!
What’s a fun – non-writing – day for you?
Ah, on the best days, I allow myself the luxury of sleeping in a half hour or so longer. I confess, I’m a big fan of snuggling under the blankets on a cold morning. However, the dog believes everyone should get up at daybreak, so on my day off, I usually take him out for a run in the national forest. We recently ran into a black bear on our usual walk, so I’ve been taking him out a bit later than before in hopes of not crossing paths with the bear again!
Then, if the weather is nice, I’ll go for a ride on my horse. My mare isn’t sound enough to jump a four-by-four oxer anymore, but a quiet trail ride is about our speed these days. Then in the evening, I’ll curl up on the couch to watch something with the BF, or read. See, I told you I was boring!
Besides reading and writing, what else do you enjoy?
I have so many things I would love to spend more time doing, but once I found my passion for writing again, most of those things fell by the wayside. I was quite competitive in my youth, but I’m finding that less and less important to me these days. I enjoy taking photographs, even though I only have a crappy little point-and-shoot camera. It’s rare that a day goes by without me taking a picture of something. I used to do a lot of theater, and sing, too, but with the kind of schedule I have, it is easier to pour my creative energies into something I can do on my own time, rather than try to coordinate with a group of people to attend rehearsals or performances.
Since there is always another story to tell, what are you working on now?
Well, I know there was a big time gap between books one and two in the Sixth Sense series, and there are a lot of people clamoring for the next installment already! I decided I should set aside some other projects and commit to finishing book three in a timely manner. I have so many plans and ideas, though! There are the follow up stories for the characters in Crying for the Moon, as well as plans to start a series, under the name of Madison Dean, set in the post-war 1950s, with characters who have to masquerade as Ward and June Cleaver by day and investigate paranormal events by night. I’m having fun doing the research on that one!
Last question is all yours – feel free to talk about anything you want your readers to know about you, your book, anything at all.
Wow, this was harder to answer than I thought it would be! Let’s see…well, I have a demanding day job, so I don’t always get to write as much as I would like. I’m frankly envious of the people who can produce a new story every quarter; I wish I could be that prolific! I have a terrible habit of over-committing myself, however, and biting off more than I can chew. My fantasy is that I will someday make enough money writing that I can cut back on the hours at work, but in order for that to work, I need to write more!
I had to give up caffeine last year. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but absolutely necessary. One 12 ounce Pepsi and my BP is 145/90. No caffeine, and it is 117/80
I once had to deworm a snake at work. I am not afraid of snakes at all. When I was eight, some boys at school dropped a grass snake in my lap that they’d found on the play yard. In an instant, I realized that I was supposed to scream and cry—that was what the boys wanted. So instead I picked up the snake and cooed over it. “For me? May I keep it?”
That was the last time anyone tried a stunt like that.
I do a kick-ass Yoda impression, but I have to make an incredibly ugly face in order to do so. Be sure to ask me to demonstrate it, should we ever meet in person.
I also do an imitation of a catfight that is so realistic I can’t do it if there are any animals in the building, as it has been known to trigger fights. Be sure to ask me to do that, too. I will. I have no stage fright. I’ll happily make a fool of myself with a karaoke machine. My insecurities are all intellectual and emotional. J
Thank you for hosting me here and giving me the opportunity to share a little about the new book! And thank you, too, for such interesting questions!
Blurb:
Six months after starting their hunt for a serial killer who is still at large, FBI agents Jerry Lee Parker and John Flynn are partners in every sense. But Jerry has serious doubts about their relationship and whether they would even be together if not for the way Flynn changed after touching a mysterious artifact in a museum.
Flynn hates the extraordinary power bestowed on him by the artifact and wants nothing more than to have a normal life again. Jerry fears that without the unusual connection they forged, Flynn will no longer want or need him. Chasing after a similar artifact takes them back to Flynn’s old stomping grounds in Washington D.C., where his newfound abilities uncover long-buried secrets, the kind people would kill to protect. But they aren’t the only ones looking for these powerful relics, and what they discover will threaten their relationship—and their lives.

Excerpt:
Jerry returned his attention to the tableau unfolding in the aisle. Flynn was making his way casually toward Jerry; he yawned, taking his time. 15-A hesitated; Jerry could see that he had stepped into the aisle, but was thinking of sitting back down again. Just then, the door to the toilet opened and the toddler came out into the aisle. Picking up on the air of tension, the child immediately started to wail.
15-A snapped like a wire stretched beyond its tensile strength. Whipping off his sunglasses, he reached into the pocket of his hoodie and pulled out a glass vial. Holding it up high over his head for everyone to see, he shouted, “Everybody stay where you are!”
People glanced up and turned around in their seats, startled and immediately alarmed. 15-A looked around sharply, making sure that no one was trying to rush him. Several people had started halfway up out of their seats to see what was going on; Jerry knew they were remembering United Flight 93.
15-a moved his hand in a broad semi-circle so that everyone could see the vial tucked in his palm. “I have Sarin!” he announced. “If anyone moves, I break the vial. Someone make that child shut up!”

Release Day! A Closed Door
New Release: A Closed Door, by Andrew Q. Gordon
So it’s been a hot minute since my last ‘release’ day. And while this is just a short story, it’s my first contemporary story that’s been published. I need to do a few more of these as I liked very much doing something without the fantasy/paranormal world building.
I hope folks like it and if you do, please drop me a note here, on Goodreads or on Amazaon.
Book Blurb:
Outted at thirteen, Orin Merritt left home after high school hoping to escape the hell his life had become. Ten years later when a tornado destroys his childhood home and kills his parents, Orin finds himself in an entirely new nightmare. One he can’t run away from.
Blaming himself for failing the two people who always loved and supported him, he returns home and confronts his past in the person of his one-time best friend, Thomas Kennett. Thomas not only rejected him when Orin came out, he led the group that tormented Orin into leaving.
As he struggles to deal with his grief, Orin also labors to fulfill the pledge he made to his parents before their death. In the process, Orin learns that sometimes when you go away to find yourself, you leave the answers you’re looking for behind.

Excerpt:
“Orin, I won’t.” Thomas stood a bit straighter and his eyes lost the sad, pleading shine. “I won’t hurt you again.”
“You can’t promise that. Things happen.” Orin watched as his words dragged Thomas back from the brink of hope.
“If you truly believe that, then there’s nothing I can do. You have to believe there’s a chance or else I can’t prove it.”
“That’s not what I’m telling you.” He locked his gaze on Thomas’s. “If I say yes, I’ll have to take down the walls I surrounded my heart with to keep it safe. Once it’s gone, I won’t be able bring it back if I get hurt. Not now.
“So what I’m saying is, think about what you’re asking me to risk. If you really love me, ask yourself if are you willing to risk what will happen to me if you can’t keep your promise.”
He knew how unfair he’d been, but self-preservation had been a skill he’d honed over the past fifteen years. He needed Thomas to know just how serious the repercussion could be for his actions.
“Orin, I . . . I . . . how . . .?” Their faces were inches apart, and Thomas moved in for another kiss.
This felt different than the first—less urgent, but no less intense. Orin trembled at the leap he was about to take. When they stepped back, Thomas rubbed his thumb across Orin’s cheek.
“I do love you, Orin. More than I can say. So much, that I’m not willing to risk what will happen if I fail you again. I don’t have that right.”
Thomas’s lips quivered and the tears welled at the bottom of his eyes. He kissed Orin’s forehead gently.
“Good-bye, Orin. Please be happy.” Without looking back, Thomas walked to the front door, opened it, and walked away.
