Chained  

ChainedEbookAmazonAbout Chained:

House Toustain … House Maignart … two royal houses once embroiled in a bloody feud … Thirty years of peace now broken in an instant …

Sir Caden Maignart has been captured, beaten, locked in a dungeon, and wrongfully accused of kidnapping and oath-breaking. Determined to free himself and his men, and clear his besmirched name, Caden does not count on the willful nature of his captor, Lady Gwendolyn Toustain, the daughter of the man who was once his father’s mortal enemy. After several attempts at escape, the lady orders him bound and chained to a wall in her chambers—where he will remain under her personal guard at all times and kept from conspiring with his men. While the lady’s high-handedness infuriates him, Caden cannot deny that everything else about her drives him to distraction. Forced into close proximity with her, Caden soon finds it hard to remember his mission of escape.

When Lady Gwendolyn of House Toustain first lays eyes on her prisoner, one thing about him is abundantly clear: Sir Caden of Daleraia is a dangerous man. Yet, she must show him no fear. The captured band of knights from Daleraia are her only clue in the mystery surrounding the disappearance of House Toustain’s sons, and it falls to Lady Gwen to seek justice. Is this kidnapping merely the ploy of mercenaries out for a ransom? Or has Sir Caden acted on the order of the High Lord of Daleraia and broken the peace? As she searches for the answers, she never expects the surge of passion that ignites between herself and her prisoner. The longer he remains in her clutches, the more Gwen realizes that though she has him chained, she is the one who has been captured.

The Gemini Effect Unbound (Tri-System Alliance, Book 2)  

Gemini-Effect-UnboundFinal1_small-fileAbout The Gemini Effect Unbound (Tri-System Alliance, Book 2):

***This book can be read alone but is intended to be read after The Gemini Effect. This book and synopsis contain spoilers for book one. Continue to read at your own risk.***

Cassiel has a mission, one that will alter the universe. If she fails, all sentient life will die. But to succeed, she must convince the Tri-System Alliance and the Quille, the bitterest of enemies, to agree to coexist. Ha! … Like that will ever happen.

Cassiel has a secret, kept hidden for years because of a promise. But now she must fully embrace her identity as a Gemini Twin if there is any hope of success. As her psychic gifts are discovered, they engender awe, fear, and even hate in others. How far will they go to destroy what they see as evil? What will others risk to see she remains whole?

Cassiel loves two men. One, Commander Maximus Sandalius, her soul mate, literally fell out of the sky. He’s a sexy, strong, dominant war hero, and Cassiel cannot resist his pull. The other, Steven Hardon, her loving husband and protector of Harmony, will do anything to keep her. When Cassiel refuses to choose between them, they come to a creative compromise. Their efforts are rewarded with a deep psychic connection and a few precious moments of bliss.

But life has other plans and pulls the triad apart. Steven is abducted by the Quille, his broad shoulders making him the perfect Quille surrogate. Maximus now has to keep Cassiel safe. With their Gemini Bond strengthening, Cassiel is the focus of Max’s undivided attention. But when the Sergius returns, will Maximus be forced to choose between his duties as Second in Command and as Cassiel’s mate? Will Steven survive to see Cassiel again?

Dr Cassiel Sinclair’s destiny is upon her. No longer just a healer from a secluded, rural community, she is fast becoming what her mother warned her never to be. From the city of Scandium to the vast reaches of space surrounding Zeda-12, she is pulled from the shadows of anonymity and thrust upon the galactic stage.

Yes, Cassiel has a mission and her destiny will not be denied. With Cassiel and Maximus exhibitining all eight Gaian psychic gifts, could there be hope? With the Gemini Effect in play, how many others will be affected? Exactly how it will manifest is anyone’s guess. But as the unexpected continues to occur, the question remains. Could the Gemini Effect be unbound? And if it is, how will it influence this volatile situation? Can Cassiel get past her anger about Steven’s abduction to negotiate with the Quille? Can she broker for peace and still negotiate for Steven’s safe return? Will Cassiel have to choose between saving those she loves and saving everyone else? Can one ever really escape destiny?

Hello Everyone,

So, I guess you’re wondering who I am. It’s a great question considering what I do when I’m not writing. I work as a clinical psychologist helping other people figure out the answer to that very question.

I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been here since 1999. Before that I lived many places. I was born in New Orleans and spent my childhood in Louisiana and Georgia. Since then I’ve lived in New York, Florida, Arkansas, and even Munich, Germany for a year. I have a degree in Studio Art with a minor in Technical Theatre, but later decided I wanted to help people by being a clinical psychologist. Recently, I decided to combine my passion and interest in good erotic fiction with my love for writing. My long suffering spouse is my biggest supporter. Ze along with our three dogs and two cats are what keep me sane and enjoying life.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them and creating the cover art. I always appreciate feedback. So, feel free to drop me a line and let me know what you think or what you’d like to read more about in the future.

All the best,

Not even magic can save her…

At every turn the mysterious Calder family has meddled in Detective Reece Prescott’s investigations, so it’s no surprise when the gorgeous Violet Calder lands in the middle of his undercover operation—literally.

Claiming she’s his girlfriend makes perfect sense at the time. Wishing their fake romance was something more—that part defies reason and could cost Reece more than just his heart.

Violet has always insisted on leaving the hands-on private investigating to her siblings, right up until the sinfully hot detective needs her to play along. But the more she pretends to be in love with Reece, the more real the charade becomes.

Forced to tread carefully or risk exposing her family’s secrets, Violet fears that not even magic can save her from falling for the one man she shouldn’t.

“Drawn to the Flames – Volume 1: Charisma’s Song – Part One” by Ariadne della Strada  

DTTF-V1P1-20150819-900x1500About “Drawn to the Flames – Volume 1: Charisma’s Song – Part One” by Ariadne della Strada:

One rich, attractive older bachelor; two beautiful women — whom to choose? Why not choose both?!

Kate Hadley’s a smart, hard working, single mom, fighting her way up the ladder of the tough real estate profession. Her daughter Sasha is ready for college but not ready for the men who will pursue her.

When Harrison Hill, investments guru and collector of captured hearts, walks into Kate’s office wanting a celebrity house, he walks out with Kate’s hopes for herself and Sasha.

Kate sells a dream home to the man of her dreams, only to learn he resides in the dreams of a dozen other women, too – – and lives in their secret, exciting, submissive and kinky fantasies.

Is Kate fated to be just Harry’s latest concubine? Is he just another serial seducer, or does he give more than he takes?

But will having one Hadley be enough for the powerful Man of the new house? And what of the other women in his overheated life?

Charisma’s Song is a three-part serialized 45K word short novel. Each part is a short story, often with a tantalizing edge-of-the-bed-hanger ending. Each “Drawn to the Flames” novel tells a complete story as the series progresses. The stories feature sizzling explicit adult scenes for readers 18 and up. Ménage bisexuality and Domination and submission are main themes, as is polyamory.

Rough play is often the name of these games, but no Silicon Valley billionaires were harmed in the writing of these stories.

_______________________________________

New! Part One of “Corruption’s Caress”, the second novel in the “Drawn to the Flames” Series is now on sale, and available for free to Kindle Unlimited readers. Parts Two and Three will be out soon, making six delicious stories in two novels, each sexier and more provocative than the ones before it.

Author Bio:
With the “Drawn to the Flames” Series, Ariadne, of the red thread fame, returns to weave a new saga of searching and discovery in hidden depths. No stranger to the inherent comedy of humans in heat, Ariadne tells her tales of sexy exploration through the eyes and actions of her richly detailed main and supporting characters. Through the stories, Ariadne weaves a yarn of dense and colorful fabric, a tale of sexual awakenings and challenges, of betrayals and loyalties, of secrets and sorrows, of lies that may not be lies, and not always clear truths.

She brings her cast of characters to life in realistic settings and circumstances, reflecting her own adventures among the rich and powerful. She has flown on the private jets, has known real-life billionaires, and has traveled to the places and stayed in the amazing inns and resorts she writes about. Kate and Sasha and their romantic lodestar Harrison Hill come to life based upon Ariadne’s wide knowledge and painfully-gained understanding of men and women through the long saga of human history. In sharing the journey, the reader will be sharing the world of one who is a seeker and visionary and historian of human sexuality as much as a storyteller.

Ariadne’s life and her personal triumphs and stunning disappointments are the best possible qualifications for spinning and weaving these tales. Her real-life affairs on four continents, her extensive travels, especially in Europe, and her long residence in Tokyo all color the drama and comedy she writes, as do her collegiate years in Berkeley and New York City, her work as a systems design and development professional, her years as a jet-setting marketer and consultant, and her successful stints as a major corporate division head and international seminar leader.

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king’s council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her… but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead… quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

So What Do I Do? by G J Griffiths  

0-1-Cover-SWDID2-images4CZ4O60D-255x188About So What Do I Do? by G J Griffiths:

This is a thriller of the “Why’d they do it?” category and the book stands alone with its intriguing trail of catch-up between the police and the criminals. A crime that goes badly wrong in its execution, and goes on to tragically affect the local school community, produces a trail of chaos. It’s a winding trail that the reader must try to follow and which two ex-pupils from the school, one a detective and the other his violent quarry, take around Britain only to end at its shocking conclusion.
In So What Do I Do?, the third novel in the So What! series, we see the return of a few of readers’ favourite characters from the previous books. Constable Nigel Shantra returns as a detective, determined to bring to justice Kyle Crabbe, the psychotic adversary of his from the first So What! novel. And just what does a class of cheeky chimps, and a large black spider monkey, have to do with the traumatic events surrounding Hodgson’s Hide – the legacy of retired Technology teacher Gil Hodgson?
Molly is back also, now as an experienced teacher and a new mum. She’s trying to come to terms with the major changes planned for Birch Green High School, while she and Oliver have dramatic plans of their own that could seriously affect both their careers. Still anxious to save the natural environment and its wildlife, Molly is also troubled by the plight of the neglected children of the world and climate change. Is she ever going to settle down to a blissful life of domesticity with her family when so many problems insist on grabbing her attention?
When a conspiracy to defraud the local populace, devised by two apparently respectable but unscrupulous pillars of the community, goes disastrously wrong it results in an intriguing case for detective constable Shantra to solve. The traumatic events that ensue will prove to affect the haplessly incompetent pair of criminal perpetrators, hired by the swindling conspirators, as well as the teachers and pupils of Birch Green High School.
Recently promoted Molly discovers that the pressures of helping newly qualified teachers, like James Gibborn, to cope with unruly classes bear no comparison to the eventual strain that she and her colleagues experience when an ex-pupil of the school decides it’s time for payback. This bullying past enemy of Nigel Shantra and his brother, Adam, will prove to be far more ruthless and cruel than anyone could have imagined in order to achieve his criminal ambitions. But he is just as likely to turn his attention towards anyone who upsets his plans, with terrifying consequences for those who won’t comply with his wishes.

Author Bio:
AUTHOR BIO DETAILS: G J Griffiths is a UK baby-boomer who worked for quite a while in the Photographic industry. Then he became a Science teacher for about twenty years. He likes reading, walking in the countryside, DIY, birdwatching and being a Grandad! Having retired he thought he would like to write a novel, which will soon become four.
So why did he write the first one?
Who Do They Think They Are?
Watching those programs on TV about different people looking into their ancestral past, and seemingly becoming very upset about certain individuals in their pedigree, he wondered about how much their emotions had been stirred by forebears, such as cousins, grandparents and even great grandparents. After all they had never met them or never even knew about their existence previous to their research. The tears, regrets and often anger that became evident on the screen betrayed how delicate feelings may often lie very near the surface.
At the same time he had been reading Winston Churchill’s volumes about the Second World War and also reading about the Battle of the Bulge, of Band of Brothers fame. It occurred to G J Griffiths: What if someone was looking into their ancestry and discovered that their forefather was involved in plot to assassinate a famous general from WW2? What if that general was George S Patton who was so vital in relieving the US troops trapped in the Battle of the Bulge? He had read that Patton often could be a thorn in the side of his senior officers at that time.

And so he created three pivotal fictional characters around this idea of unpleasant discovery; of an assassination plot involving the father of Chris Squires. The father he never knew dashes his hopes to the ground. How would Chris feel? How would he react? Once the author started writing the story the characters took over and he had to continue the tale where they took it! It became his first novel, Fallen Hero.

When GJ started writing Fallen Hero he was already well into the collection of stories later to become his second book: So What! Stories or Whatever! But the general direction of the plot and many of the characters were not properly formed at that time. Then along came the idea for Fallen Hero and that took over for the next 18 months or so!

Originally, after he had retired from teaching GJ just wanted to write and write about many of the kids he had taught and tell his readers about some of their hilarious tales. But after a while he realised that so many of the stories would be tinged with sadness or tragedy or poignant moments, and that it was not going to be just another “book of funny stories”. If he was going to include some of the difficulties that the kids’ teachers also faced, many times a day sometimes, then he had to also write about why they wanted to come into education, and more importantly, why they were determined to stay in it!

So Robert Jeffrey was “born” and his story is gradually unfolded and woven between the collection of students’ stories. Robert’s determination to become what he feels is a “good teacher” became a main theme throughout the book. There was a danger then that the book would become a continuous whinge from yet another cynical, grumbling teacher. Enter Kyle Crabbe, the bully, and some of the tales begin to have a sinister theme to them! With that stage set it meant that G J could lead the reader up a path that would allow a twist to it! Be surprised – be very surprised!

Some of the books that Robert Jeffrey had read and that had inspired him to want to teach coincided, strangely enough, with some of the list that G J Griffiths had also valued. It was a list that included: R Delderfield’s “To Serve Them All My Days”, Thomas Hughes’ “Tom Brown’s Schooldays”, D H Lawrence’s “The Rainbow”, E R Braithwaite’s “To Sir with Love”, “Neill! Neill! Orange Peel!”, plus, of course, a couple from The Master – Charles Dickens, such as “Hard Times” and “Nicholas Nickleby”.

G J Griffiths still has many more So What! Stories to tell. Until he had almost finished his second book he hadn’t realised that there was going to be another book-full to come out of his head and onto the written page –– this became So What’s Next! The third book in the So What! series is well under way and will feature the policeman from the first book: Nigel Shantra. But a few years on and the cop is now Detective Shantra!

Conspiracy*Duplicity*Intrigue: Rick O’Shea Adventures Trilogy by John Rayburn  

RO-Trilogy-copyAbout Conspiracy*Duplicity*Intrigue: Rick O’Shea Adventures Trilogy by John Rayburn:

The three books in this trilogy feature Rick O’Shea and his companions, beautiful aerospace expert Helga Lange and fearless Luther (“Call me Lute) Martin as they seek out missing valuables with exceptional rewards if successful.

Conspiracy
Meet a different kind of detective, one who is a “seeker” and “finder” of things that have been lost, stolen or hidden. He collects lucrative finder’s fees, either from a client or from whatever is found. A seemingly innocuous livelihood has its share of dangerous situations and harrowing experiences. A kidnapping, yacht theft and drug dealers pose risks. Action flows from prehistoric caves at Lascaux, France to Colorado’s San Juan Mountains and into Mexico and Guatemala.

Duplicity
This sizzling mystery involves impalement murders, security guards shot and high-level intrigue in Transylvania. Is it a reprise of the fictional Dracula or a struggle to gain control of what may be a multi-billion dollar invention or both? Fights and chases and a radical threat to plant bombs in the U.S. are part of the action, along with a secret stash of gold found in an ancient fortress plus hidden treasures in the Channel Islands.

Intrigue
A claim is made that the Russian sale of Alaska to the U.S. was not legally completed in 1867. Rick, Helga and Lute are commissioned to find the truth. Other puzzles confront them; theft of rough diamonds from a Canadian mine, air pursuit into the high Arctic and discovery of long lost military material in the Aleutians. A possible triple wedding might ensue as plans are made for the next adventure into South America.
