So without further ado, allow me to show off my two (very different) novels, both available from Torquere Press:
FROM MOROCCO TO PARIS (erotica/romance)
Zane Reed wants to be a movie
director, but first he has to learn the ropes by taking every crap job in the
industry. Employed as personal assistant to actor Elliot Butler, Zane hopes to
further his education when Elliot works with famed director Saul Brennan on an
epic movie about Napoleon Bonaparte. However, Zane gets an education in something
else entirely when he meets Davey Alexander, one of the production's costumers.
Davey, vivacious and
erotically-charged, shakes reluctant, sexually-confused Zane down to his core. The
two begin a torrid affair which leaves Zane wrestling with demons from his past
as much as wrestling with Davey in the sheets. Zane's feelings for Davey grow beyond base lust but the two can't get it
together as Davey is tempestuously strong-willed and Zane is tortuously
repressed. During filming, from Morocco, to Cairo, to Paris, the two struggle
with desire and muddled emotions. In the end, Zane will have to overcome--and
define--himself, if he wants to keep the most intriguing, passionate man he's
ever known from walking out of his life.

BLACK SHORE OF THE WHITE CITY (urban fantasy)
Jude Coffin enjoys the finer
things in life: an exceptional wine, a good whiskey, non-menthol cigarettes,
and a cute guy with a great ass. Despite being a Siren—an 'aural captivator'
for the supernaturally PC—he doesn't like paranormal politics, paranormal
science, and certainly not paranormal activists.
Despite this, Jude and his
similarly supernaturally-endowed twin brother Jason are lured to Chicago, to
undergo study at the controversial Institute of Supernatural Research. Jude
remembers why he stays away from the paranormal world when shortly after their
arrival the Institute takes his brother hostage. His only hope of getting him
back is enlisting the help of Micha Bellevue, Chicago's leading paranormal
advocate, and Sam Haain, fiery, possibly insane paranormal supremacist. Tangled
up with these two clashing—but decidedly sexy—personalities, Jude gets a look
at Chicago he never wanted: a city at war with itself, full of angry
supernatural people, conspiracy, and murder.
I've built a whole world for this book (which is the first in a series), and you can check it out here. There's lots of extras, tidbits, excerpts, character sketches, and even some artwork!

Definitely like bump in the night but bump in the night with sexy romance entangled is better.
Do I admit I'm posting just 'cause I'd love a chance to win a book? ;-)
I do love traditional contemporaries, but a bit of properly done "bump in the night" can really spice things up!
Thanks, Kristi and Liz! I too am overly fond of 'bump in the night.' After all, there's a lot more than scary things that bump in the dark... ;)
I remember that I really loved From Morocco to Paris, but I'm also admitting that it's been a while. Maybe I'm due a re-read (it would certainly be more exciting than what I'm currently doing -- besides procrastinating on the internet -- which is sorting through my kids' toys and books.)
Aw, thank you Tracy! I'm glad reading it sounds like more fun than sorting! *LOL*
