X-TROLLER
An erotic sci-fi, time travel, futuristic, post-apocalyptic romance novel
From Whiskey Creek Press Torrid
Word Count: 61.6K

Scarred and weary, Dwan is ordered to go forty-seven years into the past in a last ditch effort to find the one man who can help her fight the monsters created decades ago by a company called Lambruchet. Monsters that have since devastated mankind and the world.

Eli Voight has been battling the Lambruchet demons ever since the company had his father killed. As the first Troller, he’s made it his duty to bring down the creatures and find a way to permanently stop them. He’s skeptical of Dwan's claim that she’s from the future. But her skill is undeniable, and her presence becomes an all-consuming passion for the man who had pushed aside any thought of a personal life in his quest to drive the demons to extinction.

Dwan never expected to fall and fall hard for the emotionally unapproachable soldier. Worse, she knew what kind of death lay ahead for Eli, which meant there could never be a future for them.

Together, they must fight to take out the monstrosities, or else Earth as it is will cease to exist. And the Earth that could be, Dwan’s world, will only hold a future of horror and hopelessness.

Warning: Contains living nightmares, screwed DNA, impromptu dentistry, great beef stew (with real meat), deadly broom handles, coded writing, and a future that gives mankind only two more decades to exist.

It's a First for Me and WCPT

I'm delighted to announce that Whiskey Creek Press Torrid has just contracted what amounts to a first for both me and the publisher.  They are now accepting stories in the 5K range for their "Sexy Shorts".  These shorts will not be released using the same cover for each story, but instead will have their own unique covers.

I sent in my very first erotic horror story entitled THE TUB, and they were so intrigued, they took it! And it will be the very first of its genre to be published by them!

Please note that this story contains extreme graphic horror and erotica, and thus will be published under my horror pseudonym of Gail Smith.

Release date will be May 15th.  Stay tuned!  There's more to come!
*****
Amanda Storey was sent by her company to a tiny rural town to convince the community that having a chain mega-supermarket built there would be a boon to their economy and job market.

She never showed up for the town hall meeting, even though the company insists she was scheduled to be there. The motor inn where she had reservations claimed she never checked in, and police have not found any trace of her body or her car.

This is what really happened.

New Contract!

Good news!  I just signed a contract with Carina Press to publish my erotic sci-fi romance novel Beauty's Alien Beast.  Carina Press is a subsidiary of Harlequin Books.

Publication date is targeted for July 25, 2011.

New Contract!

My dark, erotic urban fantasy romance series now has a home!  I'm especially excited about this because this is the book that garnered me an agent back in '07, but she was unable to sell the book to NY because it doesn't contain werewolves/shifters or vampires.  In fact, one pub said it wasn't an urban fantasy, and even implied that I had mis-represented it!

After multiple rejections, my agent and I parted ways, and I sat on this book until recently.  Whiskey Creek Press Torrid is thrilled to offer me a contract for this proposed 3 book series.

Expect book 1 to be released in June, 2011.

Blurb:

Forget everything you think you know about mass murderers and crimes of passion, because now you’re going to learn the truth. People don’t decide one day to go out and kill as many people as they can, or wake up one morning, grab the nearest shotgun or axe, and proceed to hack apart their loved ones. They do it because they’re infected with a jewel, a creature of intense beauty and danger. Once the jewel takes over a host’s body, that person dies, leaving the jewel in total control to thrive on fear and horror.

Cutler Glass is a lapidary, one of an unknown group of people who’ve dedicated their lives to destroying jewels. But in order to keep the jewels from slaughtering innocent victims, she has to kill the host and then eat the jewel that emerges from the body.

Except this time the jewel she's assigned to go after, a diamond, has infected a very wealthy and influential man who has hired police protection. When Detective David Fellowes clashes with Cutler, it’s going to take more than a simple explanation before he believes her outlandish tale.

New Contract! POSSESSION

Newly Contracted!

POSSESSION
An erotic paranormal, horror, suspense novel
Coming in 2011
From Whiskey Creek Press Torrid

If you were murdered by a stranger, wouldn’t you want the chance to be able to come back and find out who killed you? And why?

J was born blind, but she could "see" things. Her gift has always helped the police find such things as missing persons, serial killers... a ghost or two.

Detective Kiel Stark has worked homicide for eight years, but he has never met this mysterious Seer his fellow officers claim could almost perform miracles. Not until a gruesome triple homicide has his superiors calling in the reserved woman to help with the case.

Now Stark is faced with a double threat. Not only is he finding himself dangerously attracted to the mysterious beauty, but she could very well discover his own carefully guarded secret—a secret that could bring an end to his career, his way of life, and any future he had hoped to have.

Warning!  Contains disturbing images, the living dead, revenge gone wrong, and two people facing an impossible love without any chance for a future.

A New Contract!

I am proud to announce that Red Rose Publishing has just contracted my horror short Eenie Meenie for publication.

It's written under my pseudonym Gail Smith, and I'll have my website updated soon to include an excerpt.

Meanwhile, here's the blurb:

Something lives in the big black plastic garbage bag. Something that isn't human. Something that depends on the goodwill of others to provide it with food. Fortunately, it's not particular if its meal is dead, long dead... or alive.

New Contract!

Great news! Red Rose Publishing has just contracted my little mainstream short entitled SANDCASTLE. This sweet Christmas story will be released in time for the holidays! Whoohoo!

Blurb:
Terrie Myers never believed life would give her a second chance at anything. Little did she understand the draw of a little girl with dreams of a knight in shining armor. Or the magic of hope that would turn those dreams into reality.
