Coming in November

Deviations IV: Bondage. This is the fourth and final book in the Deviations Series. It centers around life changing events for Tobias, Noah, Bradford and Phan as they negotiate new roles as peers, friends, players and lovers. In the lengthiest book of the series by far, there plenty of all four of the men that readers have come to love, and plenty of hard work ahead for each of them as they strive overcome changes in their personal lives, and a turn of events none of them could have seen coming.

Sex, Lies & Celluloid. This novel is about Daniel Brint, a politician, and Shane Mullen, a private dick... er... investigator, who is hired by Daniel's wife to tail him. Shane spends a lot of time on the case watching Daniel, and he learns precisely what Daniel is up to. Shane finds that the more he learns about Daniel, the more he is drawn to the man. But will professionalism and the very public life of a politician stand in his way?

Both of the above titles are co-authored with Chris Owen

Release date for both novels is November 14, 2007, Torquere Press.

Latest Review

Aubrey is no cardboard cut out two-dimensional character. He is very real. Ms. Payne skilfully shows us this in painful detail. Despite, maybe because of, this I couldn't help but fall in love with him. We know less about Kelly, but what we see is very appealing. His determination to stick by, to support Aubrey is beautiful.

I cannot recommend this book more highly. It is a must read.
