A Romance by a Lake; a Life Searching for a Teenage Lover Blurb 1964: A dark summer night on a still black lake. A lantern is lit at the end of a dock. A blond girl in white appears and begins to dance, her body illuminated like the fireflies surrounding her. A second girl emerges from a house and is beckoned forward. The two meet, swim, and then kiss. Thus begins an ethereal romance and a young woman’s journey into adulthood. Robin Bennet, age fourteen, has been accidentally abandoned at a lakeside rental house in the Pocono Mountains. Her parents were arguing, and each believed the other had remained with Robin. Alone, Robin discovers that someone has been sleeping in the house and is now stealing vodka and snacks. A fifteen-year-old boy, Kieran, the intruder, appears and invites himself to dinner. Robin is charmed by him, especially when she learns he is the brother of the beautiful girl who magically appeared on the dock the night before. After Kieran leaves, the “Firefly” returns, lights the lantern, and circles around it until Robin joins her. The two swim and make love on the beach. When Robin awakens, the Firefly—Stella—has disappeared, and Robin’s mother arrives, announcing they will return to New Jersey immediately because she is divorcing Robin’s father. Frantic, Robin tries to find Stella, a search that continues while Robin builds a career as an architect in Manhattan, fails in marriage, and struggles with her sexual identity. Excerpt [Robin’s parents have left her alone in a rented lake house, each thinking the other would remain. The year is 1964, Robin is 14, and has just drunk some wine.] “Robin shuddered awake. She shook her head, which felt on the verge of aching, and lifted her gaze toward the lake. To her amazement, the lantern was lit on the dock. Standing by it was the Firefly, dressed in white, her blond hair bright against the darkness of the water and the forested hill beyond. Robin rubbed her eyes. She must be having drunken hallucinations, but when she looked again, the beautiful vision remained. Excitement shot through her, and she lurched to her feet, descended the stairs with the bottle of wine, and walked down the grassy hill to the path, afraid to blink and lose sight of the enchanting image that lay before her. As she stepped onto the dock, the Firefly circled the lantern and offered her hands in invitation, her long fingers sweeping through the air with elegant fluidity. It appeared the girl was smiling, but perhaps this was what Robin hoped. She made her way carefully. Some of the boards were uneven, and she didn’t trust her steadiness after drinking so much. Her ears also seemed filled with a pulsing sound, or was that the loud beating of her heart? Nearing the girl, Robin knew the figure was Stella because of the strong resemblance to Kieran—the same yellow hair, slender build, neat features, and gracefulness. But Stella was more magnetic, more enchanting. Instantly, the dinner with Kieran was forgotten. This moment was all present, all now. Dazed, Robin stopped and stared at this beautiful apparition, one she struggled to believe was real. Almost afraid of breaking the silence with words, she whispered, “Hello.” “Hello,” the girl replied. “Stella?” “Yes. Robin?” “Yes.” The water lapped against the dock pilings, and a bird called from a distant tree. Above, the dark sky shrouded them in an illuminated enclosure. They smiled at each other. Robin inched closer, reveling in the sensuous figure before her. Stella had blue eyes. Perhaps a paler shade than Kieran’s or maybe the lantern’s glittering reflections were creating the appearance of translucence. Her skin was unblemished, smooth, and creamy. The fragrance of Jean Naté floated in the air. “I hoped you’d return,” Robin said. “I’m glad. I waited until Kieran left.” Her expression was amused, flirtatious. Robin sighed. “I don’t think the dinner went well. I mean, the meal was fine, but Kieran is hard to understand.” Stella laughed. “He’s perfected the fine art of being secretive.” “And you? Are you the same?” “Yes, I suppose so. You’ll have to find out.” This sounded like a teasing challenge. “I will,” she answered in kind. “Would you like some wine?” Stella accepted the bottle, drank, and wiped her mouth. Her lips were perfectly cut, pink, and alluring. “Thank you.” She handed the wine back to Robin, who took a swallow. “Good. Now, it’s a warm night, Robin. We should swim, don’t you think?” Without waiting for a response, Stella began undressing. Underneath her blouse, against her tanned skin, a lacy white bra was revealed. Robin noticed that Stella’s breasts appeared to be larger than hers, but Stella was two years older. When Stella leaned down to unbuckle her sandals, Robin unbuttoned her own shirt, overcome with shyness. Although she showered with girls after gym class, Robin had never exposed herself like this. She fixed her eyes on Stella, who had dropped her pants and stepped clear. The girl was slightly taller than Robin, with legs and arms that were lean and strong. Clad only in cotton underpants and a bra, Stella gave her a captivating smile, turned, and dove neatly off the dock. For what seemed like a minute, she stayed underwater until she resurfaced about fifteen feet away. Stella brushed back her short hair and watched as Robin took off her slacks and sandals and executed a clean entrance into the black water. Rising near Stella, the two swam closer to each other and kept upright by paddling their arms. Robin felt a wave of dizziness pass over her. Because of the wine or because of the nearness to this radiant being? She waited for the girl to speak, to act. Instead, Stella laughed, the sound reminding Robin of wind chimes blowing in a light breeze.” About the Author

 My teaser is from Endosymbiont, book 3 of The Vampire Guard. Madison nodded. “Nine to be exact.” “The data Blair’s pulled out corroborates what they’re saying about the pathogen. It’s not airborne and is only transmitted via physical contact with tissue or fluids from an infected source.” Lucas pulled off the hood of his hazmat suit. He nodded to Madison and Kincade. “They’d be infected right now, and clearly they aren’t.” “Since we’re acting normally and not trying to kill you,” Kincade added. The door to the command center opened, Ori entered, and he re-locked it. He stopped long enough to remove his hazmat suit then strode across the space to Kai. “Being able to take that thing off is a true blessing.” When he was close enough, he held out his hand to Kincade then Madison. “Ori Bier, Mossad.” Kincade grinned. “If Kruger is still alive, he’ll be as thrilled to see you as he was me.” Ori’s deep, rich laugh filled the air. He had a knack for putting a room at ease with that laugh and it was working. Touching his ear lightly with his finger he said, “So I heard.” Hiding the fact they were equipped with earbuds for communication was senseless, since these men would expect that sort of gear and might even have their own. “An impressive team,” Madison added. Kai didn’t need any special abilities to see and hear the admiration reflected in the expression on Madison’s face. Ori nodded politely to Kai. “Richter.” It was something they often did, acted as if they barely knew each other. Over the years they’d discovered it made an effective ploy and very protective cover. “Thank you, but we’re not out yet.” “Closer than we were twelve hours ago,” Kincade said. Their conversation stopped when Porter and Sophia arrived. Per her usual, Sophia made an entrance. She tossed off her hazmat suit before marching up to the men. “Mr. Samuels and I have secured the third level.” Her normal slightly southern American accent was gone, replaced by a very distinctive Irish brogue. “Katie O’Leary, Army Ranger Wing Irish Defense Forces. My somewhat reserved partner is Porter Samuels, our coordinator.” Blair twisted in his chair and glanced back, arching an eyebrow. Porter stood off to the side, shaking his head. It was too difficult to explain they were married and operatives to those not in the know about vampires so Sophia would adopt her alias and persona. It’d been a while since Katie had put in an appearance, but Sophia had a special talent. She could take put on an alias and wear it like a new outfit, then change to another in a moment’s notice if need be. Porter almost never used his American Secret Service title outside the United States, and then only in rare circumstances. In this case it would make no sense for him to be here in that capacity. Being operations and mission coordinator, presumably from the United Nations, made much more sense. The fact he was also an albino precluded him from any sort of traditional undercover positions requiring him to blend into a crowd. He became the ultimate bureaucrat issuing the orders and keeping the team solidified. “Is all the food and water stored in the galley on this level?” Lucas asked. “I need to give you two a decent exam too.” “Yes. There’s a few small compartments down that way,” Madison pointed out the direction. “I think those hold extra. We never did figure out the codes and get inside, but there wasn’t really a need either since there was plenty of provisions in the main galley.” Kai had been wondering how the facility occupants would explain those rooms to anyone coming in from the outside.

A tired rock star and a judgemental gardener…what could possibly go wrong? Blurb The Purple Lizards are a rock world phenomenon, but lead singer Martin’s tired of his rock-and-roll persona. He’d rather be at home with his garden. When he gets home from tour he finds his gardener has had a heart attack and Simon, his grandson, is helping him out. Simon’s different to Fred. He talks, for a start. Martin and Fred have a perfectly functional friendship based on long silences and discussions about heritage vegetables. Simon talks about personal things as well. It makes Martin prickly. Excerpt Chapter Three It was a huge relief to finally be home, Martin thought, as he made his way back up to the house. He’d dumped his bags in the hall and gone straight out to find Fred for a dose of reality and to get some dirt on his fingers. Instead he’d found Simon and scared himself stupid for a moment, thinking something had happened to his old friend. He understood the impulse not to bother him whilst he was on tour…but it wasn’t as if a heart attack was a minor issue. He stepped over his bags and went to put the kettle on and peer into the fridge. Simon had told him that Moira had furnished him with a shopping list and instructions in her absence. He seemed a really nice kid. Although…he wasn’t a kid, he must be as old as or older than Pete Heggarty, in his late twenties. Only ten or twelve years younger than Martin. And just as knowledgeable about plants and vegetables as Fred. Kind, as well. He’d seen he’d given Martin a shock and done his best to cushion it after the fact. He’d been calm and competent and given Martin the space he’d needed to get himself together again. Martin appreciated that. He seemed to spend all his time this tour being the person who sorted things out and looked after other people. It had been nice to have someone else do that for him, however briefly. Part of the shock had been finding out about Fred. But part of it had been a weird sort of paralysis as he took in the man standing before him. A bit taller than Martin with mousy-blonde hair, Simon had the most piercing, indigo-coloured eyes Martin had ever seen. He wasn’t a believer in being struck dumb by desire…it was a ridiculous concept. But for a moment there…he’d almost believed it could happen. Simon’s eyes… And he was fit in the way someone who did manual work was fit. No gym-rat body, just all over tone from what Martin had seen through his T-shirt and jeans. Martin didn’t bother fancying people. When he wanted sex, he went out to one of a few discreet clubs he was a member of and got what he needed from someone he trusted to give it to him with no strings attached. Outside of that…he switched it off. His wiring wasn’t exactly straightforward, he knew. Outside the bedroom, he was a perfectly normal bloke. But inside, once the door closed, the temptation to give up control to his partner was always there. Given his choice of career…casual encounters were risky. It wasn’t that he never had them. But increasingly it felt like there was a disconnect between his sex life and who he was the rest of the time. The last time he’d dated seriously had been more than a decade ago and although it hadn’t been a disaster, it had petered out into nothing with them both wanting different things in and out of bed. A couple of casual encounters where he’d felt too vulnerable and as if he was giving too much of himself away and he’d started seriously compartmentalising. And so there he was in the greenhouse, startled into silence by his new employee’s indigo eyes and a conversation about heritage aubergines. He laughed at himself as he got out the makings of a ham sandwich. He should go and see Fred after he had something to eat. Simon had said he was champing at the bit with frustration, wanting to come back to work. Far too soon, the doctors—and Moira, who was the one who really counted—had said. But perhaps one of them could drive him up and he could sit down and supervise—code for boss about—Simon and Martin as they got to grips with whatever needed to be done. Martin didn’t think Simon needed much supervision, to be honest. He didn’t either these days. He liked working with Fred. They’d fallen into a kind of silent harmony over the years. Martin told him a bit about the weird shit that happened on tour—he’d been looking forward to sharing the saga of Ken’s attempted blackmail and how it had backfired on him so badly. And telling him about how he’d found out Pete Heggarty slept with his violin. He didn’t know whether he’d want to chat with Simon like that…but having another person around who was interested in the garden and the project itself was intriguing. He hadn’t felt intrigued with anything for quite a while. About the Author I’m a writer of MM Romance! The Rockstar Series is coming this summer.

Teaser:
Being confronted with three men scowling at him was disconcerting, especially the two huge guys blocking the doorway. Then another ten men stared at him from a table piled high with food. Eric’s stomach growled at the delicious aroma. Was that meatloaf? He tried to sniff without being obvious. His mouth watered. It was meatloaf, one of Eric’s all-time favorite meals. But he was here to do a job, not fill his belly. He was cold and hungry. It had been a long ride here. And now his client, who was another man mountain, had no idea he was coming. Eric just prayed they didn’t throw him out. He wasn’t sure he could face that road so soon. He swore he’d driven up with his eyes shut. The biggest one squinted at him. “Isn’t he that guy you stuck your…ow!” The other bear had just elbowed him in the ribs. “What did you do that for?” “Just bring him over here,” a young guy, maybe Eric’s age, said. “He looks frozen. Join us for lunch, Eric. There’s a space next to Brad.” Eric turned to Brad, who still stared at him, looking just as confused as he was. “Is that okay?” he asked hesitantly. Brad seemed to shake himself. “Sure. Come meet my family.” Eric was sure he mumbled “…again,” but he must have misheard. This was how Eric found himself between Brad and a much smaller blond-haired boy…man, Eric corrected himself hastily. “Eric, it’s good to see you again,” the small man said. Eric frowned. “Do I know you?” There was a silence around the table and Eric caught them looking at each other. “You don’t remember me…us?” Brad asked. Eric bit his lip. “I have amnesia. I was in a car accident last year. I don’t remember anything before then.” They all looked horrified. Eric was used to that expression. What he wasn’t used to was people who said they knew him. “The food is getting cold,” one of the big men grumbled. He wasn’t big, he was massive, and all muscle. No wonder he liked his food. “Quick introductions,” the little guy said, “then you can eat. I’m Vinny. This is Damien. He’s mine.” He pointed to one of the men with a graying beard who had greeted him at the door. “And so is Rexy.” Eric blinked. The little man had two boyfriends? “Rexy’s my dog,” Vinny said, pointing to a small black mutt of indeterminate breed, sacked out in front of the stove. “Oh.” Eric nodded to show Vinny he understood. What had he just walked into? “Down, boy,” the man said, with a fond smile. “He’s Brad’s.” Eric’s jaw dropped and then he heard a choking sound on the other side of him. He turned to see Brad staring across him. “What the hell, Damien?” Brad’s voice cracked. “I’m sorry, Eric,” the man who’d invited him to sit said. “You’ll get used to us. It’s always like this. I’m Lyle. This is my…boyfriend. This is Gruff.” He pointed to a huge man on one side of him. Gruff looked younger than Brad or Vinny’s guy. He also looked unhappy at something Lyle had said. “Not again.” Eric turned to see who had spoken. Massive guy smiled at him but there was a cautious edge Eric didn’t understand. “Eric, I’m PJ. This is my boy, Jack.” Jack waved at him. He looked to be in his mid-twenties. His smile was friendly enough. “Look, kid, we’re all gay,” PJ said. “Do you have a problem with that?” “No,” Eric squeaked. “Good. We’re all brothers. The big dudes are my brothers by blood. The little dudes are my brothers by love. No, Damien, you can’t start sniffling now.” PJ turned to fix his gaze on Eric. “And we’re all in Daddy/boy relationships. Do you have a problem with that, too?”
