 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.

 DIAL 'S' FOR SEX -- AN EROTIC JOURNEY TO LOVE 

 What do you do when you catch the man you’ve shared your life and your condo with, rent free, in bed with a stranger? Throw him out of course. I’d have thrown the stranger out too, even though he looked like a cross between the Hulk and the Rock… but he left of his own accord. Rafe, my ex, was a beautiful would-be male model with a big libido and no morals, but I missed him and was lonesome enough to answer an ad in the local gay rag. Dial S For Sex was the headline.

I wasn’t familiar with phone sex, but boy did I get hooked after the first few words spoken by Logan, the man who answered my call. Just the way he said my name – Jack, was enough for me to want more and more of his sweet and sexy voice.
The sex we had on the phone made me long to actually hold him in my arms and kiss him silly, but Logan had strict rules, one of which was no meeting face to face with a client.

But aren't rules made to be broken?



                              

   A NICK FALLON INVESTIGATION - BOOK 4 - MURDER BY PROXY

 Nick Fallon and Jeff Stevens take on what they consider an easy case―taking photographs of Robert Landers, a man accused by his wife of cheating on her. However, they don't expect to see the guy shot down right in front of them.

What follows is a bewildering series of events, and who can they believe? Shelley Byington, the dead man's fiancée, Shaun, her gay brother, or Arnold Byington, her less than loving father? Then there’s the guy’s wife―the woman who hired Nick and Jeff in the first place, and who doesn’t shed one tear over the news he’s now her dearly departed.

When Shelley turns up missing, Nick and Jeff have their hands full trying to sort the truth from the lies―and when Nick has to face dangerous gunmen, with only Shelley’s inexperienced brother at his side, who knows what the outcome will be?

 HIS TRIP OF A LIFETIME -- FREE ON KINDLE  UNLIMITED!

Alex Brady was looking for some excitement in his life, but nothing could have prepared him for what a trip to Tuscany would bring him—excitement, yes, but with an undercurrent of danger that could possibly end up costing him far more than the price of the vacation.
When Alex tells his best friend Russ of his proposed trip to Tuscany, Russ tries to dissuade him, especially when Alex explains he'll be renting a car and making his own way around a foreign country. Russ is sure Alex will get lost or mugged.
On his first night in Florence, Alex meets Gavin Andrews, a handsome Scotsman, and looks forward to a more than pleasant start to his ‘trip of a lifetime'.
But Gavin disappears without a word, and although disappointed by the Scot's apparent lack of interest, Alex continues with his tour of Tuscany in his rented car, staying overnight at the Villa Lorenzo, a converted farmhouse run by two gay men, John and Alfredo.
What follows is far more excitement than Alex ever bargained for — a kidnapping, a murder, and ultimately an offer of marriage!
Truly, for Alex this is his trip of a lifetime.

 HIGHLAND HEARTS -- A NEW EDITION

Callum Robertson has inherited his grandfather’s mansion in northern Scotland, but the house comes with a history he knew nothing about—should he be thrilled, or feel threatened as the house seems to lure him in?

When Callum Robertson first sees the old Scottish country mansion his grandfather bequeathed him, his immediate instinct is to sell the antiquated pile for whatever he can get for it—admittedly not much in a downturned market. Then he meets Craig MacPherson, a local farmer with auburn curls and sparkling gray eyes, and suddenly the gloomy old house doesn’t look quite the white elephant it first appeared to be.

Craig tells Callum that it’s rumored the house is haunted but by what or whom no one seems to know. Books flying off shelves then being mysteriously replaced give Callum pause to reconsider his rejection of the idea of an actual ghost haunting the place. When he finds a journal relating to the history of his family, he is, by turn, intrigued then fascinated as the saga unfolds through the writings of his ancestors.

An encounter with what he feels must be the spirit of his great-great-great-uncle Alistair makes him change his mind not only about selling the house, but also about his future with Craig.

               NARRATED BY DUNCAN PRESCOTT

    THE HIGHLANDER AND I -- A time traveling fantasy.

Synopsis: When LAPD Police Officer Darren Holden is told to check out a possible dead body lying in an alleyway, he finds a man who is unconscious but very much alive. Not only alive but gorgeous—and wearing a kilt. Darren is sure he knows the man, he just can’t remember where or when they might have met. It isn’t until that night, unable to sleep, that he realizes the stranger is a man he’d been dreaming of for some time—a man who had made love to him night after night.

The last thing Duncan MacGregor remembers is that he was home in Glen Ardor, Scotland, betrothed to Margaret MacAllister as a bond between their two feuding clans.  Duncan believes he was enchanted by a witch who told him his destiny was not in Scotland, nor to be married to Margaret, but to have a life of love and adventure with a man—the man he had dreamed of night after night—Darren. Darren isn’t sure if Duncan is playing a game, suffering from amnesia or just plain nuts, but his attraction to Duncan outweighs his skepticism and he takes him home, determined to find the truth.

As much as Darren wants to believe him, his common sense warns him of the sheer impossibility of Duncan’s story. Nevertheless, the overwhelming sexual attraction both men feel for one another leads to a night of passionate lovemaking. Even then, Darren’s logical mind refuses to accept that such a thing is possible, but when a dangerous event threatens to tear them apart, Darren must believe or lose Duncan forever.

**This story was originally published as A Highlander in L.A. It has been lightly re-edited but remains true to the original story. Adults only. There are scenes of graphic intimacy between men.
