Seasons of Change Reading/Signing

September 1, 2010

Bent Pages, on Staten Island, the only LGBT bookstore remaining the 5 boroughs of NYC hosted a reading / book signing last Saturday following the release of my newest novel, Seasons of Change, published by Dreamspinner Press.  It was a terrific experience.

I brought a couple of supporters with me, and another dear friend who lives in the New York area met me there too. It was wonderful to have them by my side. In addition, several others joined in, filling the tiny store.

The reading went smoothly, with everyone laughing or gasping in the right places. The question and answer session became a rich discussion all participated in.

Everyone who attended purchased a book to be personalized, including the store owners — VERY flattering!

Tate “Talker” Walker has spent most of his life hiding his scars under a bright punk facade, and until he sat next to Brian Cooper on a bus, it worked.

Brian is outwardly straight, but Talker is desperate for love, and when Talker’s behavior leads to some painful consequences, Brian is forced to come out of his closet—in dramatic fashion. He’ll do anything to make sure Talker sees that he’s the Prince Charming Talker has always needed.

Worried that his planet is slipping into moral decay, the High Priest of Dálriata sends a healer priest to retrieve more magical Slànach Stones, the Council of Priests’ quickly dwindling source of power. Cináed MacAlpin agrees to undertake the quest despite his misgivings, hoping a successful mission will relieve the pressure upon him to heal only the “worthy.”

But finding the Stones is no simple task. Cináed must travel to the mystical Eye of Scota, a passageway through space that leads back to Earth, and the supposed source of the Stones. There he meets Tadeo Banderas, a spaceship captain marooned at the Eye. They discover that the spark of energy between them may hold the key to Dálriata’s future.

Does Cináed have the courage to bring home the truth that the power to save his world is found in forgotten laws and his bond with another man?

August 25, 2010

Gone Stumping by Braden Williams is now available in eBook.

Self-absorbed Aidan Montgomery knows what he wants: a life of luxury and material wealth. To get it he’s stumping on the campaign trail for Senator Philip Brenton and carrying on a rather perfunctory affair with him to boot. The senator is his ticket to better living, and Aidan is content not to look too closely at Brenton’s back room business dealings.
When discrepancies over property lines for a new casino development in the senator’s district surface, axe man Rafe McCafferty becomes an unwilling participant in the dispute. A suspicious accident on the logging company owner’s job site draws Aidan and Rafe into murky plans that threaten not only their jobs, but Aidan’s shallow lifestyle and his vision for the future. There are no clear-cut answers for either of them, that is, until they have to unite for their own survival.

Genre: Contemporary
