My novel released today
Nov. 13th, 2018 10:13 pmAnd I'm still in love with this cover. 
Blurb Arrigo Giancarlo’s friends think he's a rich young man with the unusual job of paranormal investigator, working with his psychic assistant in Las Vegas. In truth he’s a two-thousand-year-old vampire and member of the Chiaroscuro, a group of Supernaturals dedicated to keeping humanity safe from the more dangerous of their kind. He’s also openly bisexual… but alone.
When he spots Luc St. John in a bar, Arrigo is intrigued. What begins as an effort to repay the kindness shown to him in the past quickly turns into much deeper feelings for the suffering and displaced Cajun. For Luc’s part, he feels too poor, too uneducated, and too bound to his hateful family to ever be worthy of elegant and cultured Arrigo.
An old enemy, Eleni, blames Arrigo for murdering her true love. On the anniversary of that death, she’s back to take revenge. As Arrigo’s closest friends fall victim to savage attacks, he fears nothing will keep Luc safe. Should he break both their hearts and let Luc go, or is it too late? If Luc’s already in Eleni’s sights, Arrigo knows that like most things in Vegas, the odds are against him.
You can find it on Amazon here or at my publisher here
It's also world kindness day. If you want to do an author a kindness leave them a review on AMazon. It's tied into sales. Kindnesses shown to me today? My publisher sent me an ecard to tell me they were proud of me (that's new, they've never done that before) and someone on a forum said how much they loved my writing. I almost cried.
And speaking of kindness, thank you to everyone who's been commenting and helping with my nano. It's very much appreciated!
So have a little more of it. “Does he depend on what you earn begging?”
Zvon couldn’t look at Tanyth even though he heard no judgement there. “No, he works. This was all I could do.” He raised his stump. Couldn’t they understand his problems? No, they were so far above them they couldn’t see.
“I don’t want to take you if you wish to stay here.”
Zvon stared at the table, feeling their eyes on him. If he stayed, his dad would just keep beating him. There was no good ending and he knew it. He might not know much but how else could it end? “I want to go but can we send a letter to tell him that I ran away so he doesn’t wonder.”
“We can arrange that.”
Zvon met her eyes. “We’ll have to send it to Dr. Dobro. Dad does work for him. Dad can’t read.” He licked his lips. “Me neither.”
“I can fix that,” Arria replied cheerily.
He wondered if anything ever had been hard for her. She seemed so sure of herself.
“I can write the letter for you,” Tanyth said, rising. “I need to see why we’ve been delayed here.”
“It feels strange.” Arria leaned back, looking out one of the windows.
Her mother scowled, stepping closer to the glass. Zvon had no idea what they were talking about. He had no sense anything was wrong, except maybe the feeling someone was behind him. He figured that was his nerve pricking at him. Tanyth drew two of the curtains over the train windows before whirling around, racing for the door.
“You two stay here and keep away from the windows after you pull the curtains,” Tanyth said then she was gone.
