I am blogging about some of the thoughts and ideas that went into the creation of he Celestial Justice series today. Come check it out over at the All Male Romance Blog.

Garnets of Destiny 1

Out today, on August 4, 2012,this is the first book in a series called "Gemstone Chronicles". The series is based on an idea that has been with me for over 5 years, in fact some of these stories have existed as short novellas before, had been submitted and rejected back then. But the idea wouldn't let me go.

So, a few months ago I decided to tackle this "job" again and am very happy to say that the resulting first novel is far better (in my own humble opinion, of course) than the original version. The ideas have expanded to the extent that there is now a whole Garnet World and a few sequels to Zachary and Zohar's story are sure to follow.

This first book sets up the whole idea of the Gemstone Chronicles in a Prologue and Epilogue - together they are a separate storyline, like a frame that surrounds the individual stories. Within that frame, you then have Zachary and Zohar's adventure:

Zachary, abused for years by his adoptive parents, finally runs away. He knows he's safer on his own than in their so-called care. Homeless and desperate for money so he can put down a deposit for an apartment, he decides to sell the antique garnet ring his parents received from the mysterious Messenger at Zachary's birth.


I really hope you will like this book, and the ones that will follow over the next few months. You can find it at Silver Publishing as of today, and on third party sites as of next week, I believe.
