I’m Going All In…
Putting yourself out there is tough–whether it’ telling someone you love them for the first time on the driveway of their parent’s house, waiting for someone to message you minutes after signing up for that free online dating website, or, in my case, releasing a new book in a romance thriller series.

Author’s are a curious breed of creatures. As masters of our own universes, we are egotistical maniacs that have the ability to create breathtaking worlds, elicit emotional responses of readers with five simple words in our stories (Ex. He loved me no more), and create literary doorways as means of temporary escape for the average human mind.
However the readers hold the true power (as they should). While a review consisting of “I loved this book” and five stars have us authors singing like angels in the clouds, the three simple words of “this book sucked” followed by a single star can destroy it all. Months of hard work along with all your hopes and dreams of succeeding in this competitive profession–destroyed.
Being an author is like a baptism of fire.
On Monday, December 23rd, 2013, I’m going all in–diving headfirst into the flames–and launching the first book of my new sexy romance thriller series, the Midnight Society. I recommend purchasing it on Amazon for all you kindle readers out there, but that’s just me. It’ll also be available for Kobo, Itunes, Smashwords, etc.

Am I nervous? Hell yeah, but after watching my wife deliver a nine pound, four ounce baby naturally (and yes I did look), the measurement of my “nerves” becomes relative.
I’m ready.
My book is ready.
And as readers, I hope you’re ready.
Early reviews of Semblance have been absolutely kick ass:
From Gabi Daniel’s Book blog:
“I loved Semblance. This novel is a fast-paced, suspense driven, page-turner. There was one clever twist after another. And just when I could breath a little sigh of relief… BOOM! I’m stunned and making — no-way-that-just-happened noises. Honest to God, I suspected everyone and figured out nothing! Every single plot twist is relevant, and dammit! my 007 inner fangirl was all about the society’s security.”
From Consuming World’s Book Blog:
“Reading Semblance was like being in the audience at one of Bach’s performances. Logan Patrick played me like a master pianist, bringing out every emotion and leaving me with the incredible high that comes from witnessing true talent. If this in fact were a show I would give Semblance and Logan Patricks a standing ovation. Seriously people when this book comes out on December 23, 2013 you need to run to your nearing reading device and download it! Trust me, this book will give you a very Merry Christmas!!! ”
From My Dad:
“What the hell? You wrote a book with explicit sex in it? Don’t show your mother….no I don’t want to read it. I hope it does well but what father wants to read about their son’s sex fantasies?….Can you help me with the drywall already? The sooner we get it done, the sooner I can hang out with my granddaughter and NOT tell her that her daddy wrote a sex book.”
