A Self Portrait is a revised and updated copy of a previously published book, part of the Portrait series. It should be read after A Portrait of Andrew but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Now happily married to Jeff Stevens, a private detective, Peter is perturbed when Jeff goes to LA to have lunch with Joe French, an LAPD detective and an old friend. When Jeff repeatedly fails to answer his cell phone, Peter’s psychic intuition convinces him that Jeff is being held against his will.

Traumatized into unconsciousness, he dreams and remembers the life-defining relationship he shared with Phillip, his deceased husband, and the events that took him to the point of death – and back. On waking, Peter knows that Phillip will help him search for Jeff. With the aid of close friends, Peter encounters a cult of Satanists led by a mad illusionist who promises his followers eternal life.

Can Peter and his friends find and rescue Jeff, and put an end to a crazy cultist’s ambitions? Or is Jeff lost to him forever? Enjoy an entertaining mix of romance and suspense, enduring love and friendship, and the human spirit’s steadfast will to survive.

A CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT -- M/M MYSTERY/ROMANCE -- AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!

“What the heck is a pantomime?” Jeff asks, as well he might…

A Christmas pantomime—a British tradition—when families flock to the theatre for ribald entertainment, gender-bending roles, and thinly veiled innuendo. But jealousy, hate, murder? Surely that’s not part of the entertainment? Or so Peter and Jeff think when they accept an invitation to spend Christmas in London from their longtime friends Rod and ‘A’ (short for Arthur). ‘A’ is making his return to the stage in Cinderella, playing one of the ugly sisters.

Things get ugly for real when Ken Blackwell, playing the other sister, tries to shake up Arthur’s self-esteem by calling him a washed-up old has-been, then goes on a rampage when the show’s director falls ill and Rod is asked to replace him.

Peter’s psychic intuition helps him see past the pantomime’s gaudy glitter and into the dark secrets some people are desperate to conceal.
 
**A Christmas Portrait is part of the Portrait Series - it can be read as a stand-alone although it helps to have read Book One - A Portrait of Phillip.**

 VAMPIRE DREAMS

Writing a short vampire story for a gay magazine should be a piece of cake for prolific author Edward Hanson, but dreaded writer's block has him in its clutches and he can't seem to shake it off. A walk in the park to clear his mind sounds like a good idea -- and getting to know David, the handsome young man he meets under a street light sounds like an even better one.

Who knew that writer's block could be erased by a kiss from a mysterious stranger -- or is it all a dream?
