Guest: Daniel Kaine – Why I Love Paranormal

Looking at Andrew’s books, I can immediately see one major difference between us as authors. While Andrew mostly writes contemporary stories, I lean a lot more toward paranormal. I know I’ve mused on the topic before, but it got me to wondering again about why it is I love the paranormal genre. One of the biggest draws for me is the sheer scope of the genre. You can go from a chilling ghost story, such as Stephen King’s The Shining, to the dark and sensual world of Laurell Hamilton’s Anita Blake novels. Or if you’re looking for something sweeter, there … Continued

What I Just Wrote

I am working on the follow up story to Day and Knight for Dirk Greyson.  Day and Knight releases May 4 and Dirk is currently writing the follow up.  I thought I would share a snippet of what I just wrote as a teaser and to bring you into the fun.  There are times when writing can be difficult and there are days like today when its a joy. “Good god, you’re so much of an asshole that you don’t even realize when you’re being an asshole.”  Dayton’s voice echoed off the acres of concrete in the parking structure.   Knight just … Continued

Eastern Cowboy – the Story Behind the Story

My mother and father live outside Baltimore Maryland in a condominium complex.  If you read Eastern Cowboy, then you already know something about it because its their light blue condos that surround one portion of the farm in the story.  All around their area are houses, condos, strip centers and a single farm.    This farm is really old and looks rather forlorn sitting off by itself in the largely urbanized landscape.  The are is called Shipley’s Grant.  I must confess that I know very little about the property, but every time I drove by it, I couldn’t help thinking there was … Continued

Eating Sushi

  Okay, yesterday I went to dinner with a large group of friends at the sushi restaurant at the Gaylord Resort in Orlando.  I have to tell you that I am not a fish person in any way and this menu was very limited.  So last night I actually had my first taste of sushi. I have to say that it was okay.  I doubt I’m ever going to become a lover of sushi, but I have to say that it was pretty good.  I only had shrimp based sushi, but it was quite good. Dominic has always said that I’m a … Continued

Marty on Being the Cover Model for Backward

Marty is the cover model for Backward and I asked him to write a few thoughts on being a cover model.  He is a great guy and takes one heck of a photograph!!!! Last summer I was contacted by my good friend Jesse Jackman. He mentioned that he had recommended me for a book cover and that he and Dirk had done ones as well. He showed me theirs and I was floored! Such great imagery and the photographer really captured them well. Being a fan of both of them as well as close friends I was touched by their … Continued

Backward – The Cover

Marty Pfeifer is the model who posed for the cover of Backward.  Once I had finished the manuscript, I asked Jesse and Dirk if they knew of someone who would be interested in posing for the cover of Backward.  I asked for a larger man who was older.  I didn’t want a young kid.  They told me about Marty and sent me a few pictures.  As you can see by the finished work, he’s a handsome man and was perfect to portray Harry on the cover of Backward.  Joey Flyfoto agreed to shoot the images as he did for Jesse … Continued

He’s watched as Tristan dated Eddie and then reluctantly sat on the sidelines during the emotional breakup when Tristan discovered Eddie was dealing drugs.
