Good news! Pyromancer is now available for purchase at All Romance eBooks.

Christian Ryder is rich and lonely — and a pyromancer. When the people around him keep dying, he forgoes personal attachments. The thought of his pyromancy hurting anyone else isn’t something he’s willing to risk.
Tanner O’Bannon is broke and desperate. The recent loss of his father has thrown Tanner into a tailspin of debt he can’t afford to pay. Working as a rent boy allows him to pay the mortgage and his college tuition, but it’s eroding his soul in the process.
Through the machinations of Male Companions — the escort agency for which Tanner works — the men are thrown together. Smoldering embers of desire fan the flames of love, but will it be enough to make Christian overcome his fear of love, or to save Tanner from the fire?
Only one thing is certain; both men will burn.
Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Male/male sexual practices (anal/oral sex), violence.

Did you know MTV is planning to remake Rocky Horror Picture Show? Frankly, I’m rather disgusted by this one.
What’s next? Are they going to remake Gone With The Wind, too?
Ugh. If you’re interested, you can read more about it here:

For those you who are interested, I thought I would let everyone know that I’ve completed the sequel to Secrets & Lies. The Hard Truth revolves around Cadge and Red, two of the secondary characters in Secrets & Lies, and tells the story of their shady past and uncertain future. Below is a very rough sneak peek of the blurb.
Blackmailed into claiming a birthright he doesn’t want, Cadge Johnson is thrust into a world of politics and intrigue. His only ally is old friend and former lover, Red Taylor — the very man who swindled him into traveling to the council’s stronghold.
Thrown together with a man he’s kept at arm’s length for decades, Cadge fears for his sanity. He cares for Red, but believes no good can come of it. Too many people he has loved have died horrible deaths because of him.
The sordid past they share is nothing compared to the trials ahead. After nearly a century of love, loss, murder, and deception, only the cold, hard truth will finally set them free.

You have a total boy brain
Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts
And while your emotions do sway you sometimes…
You never like to get feelings too involved

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish
|

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don’t actively fight them.
You’re just you. You don’t try to be what people expect you to be.

I love this book. I’ve probably read it a dozen times.

Moonfall by Tamara Thorne
Moonfall, the picturesque community nestled in the mountains of Southern California, is a quaint hamlet of antique stores and craft shops run by the dedicated nuns of St. Gertrude’s Home for girls. As autumn fills the air, the townspeople prepare for the festive Halloween Haunt, Moonfalls’s most popular tourist attraction. Even a series of unsolved deaths over the years hasn’t dimmed Moonfall’s renown. Maybe because anyone who knew anything about them has disappeared.
Now, Sara Hawthorne returns to her hometown…and enters the hallowed halls of St. Gertrude’s where, twelve years before, another woman died a horrible death. In Sara’s old room, distant voices echo in the dark and the tormented cries of children shatter the moon—kissed night.
But that’s just the beginning. For Sara Hawthorne is about to uncover St. Gertrude’s hellish secret…a secret she’ll carry with her to the grave…
