Out of respect for the events that have occurred in Paris, I’ve decided to indefinitely postpone the release of my next book “Mike Hawk and the Cult of Kings” because of themes involving religious extremism, terrorism and a hostage situation.

My apologies to those looking forward to it. I will replace it with a different book and wait until a later date to release it.

My thoughts and heart go out to the people of Paris during this terrible time.

Synopsis

Present Day: Michaelangelo Hawk, III works in an elite task force for an international organization dedicated to defending LGBTQ people throughout the world.

When passengers on a gay-themed cruise ship are taken prisoner by a terrorist organization during an excursion to the pyramids at Giza, Mike’s team is called in to rescue them. During an intense firefight in the necropolis, Mike is forced to jump into a golden sarcophagus to escape a grenade blast.

When he emerges, however, he discovers he’s been mysteriously transported back to the year 1948; to his father’s hometown, a city called Bulger Beach near Miami, Florida. Due to an eerie resemblance, he is soon mistaken by everyone to be his grandfather, Mike Hawk, Sr., a private detective who disappeared while investigating a powerful sex cult obsessed with Egyptology.

Assuming he is Mike, Sr. suffering from a case of amnesia, his grandfather’s young, sexually ambiguous Cuban secretary Eduardo and a grizzled, former bootlegger named Shep who runs an all-night diner help him try to “regain his memory”. In the process, Mike learns way more about his long-lost grandfather than he ever wanted to know, and has to avoid the amorous advances of the young woman who will become his grandmother in the process.

Hoping the cult may have information about how he can get back to his own time, he picks up the investigation where his grandfather left off, entangling him in a sordid web of sex, politics and paranormal activity.  All this, while a sexy male assassin from an ancient Egyptian order is hot on his tail.  Mike can’t figure out whether the guy wants to kill him or seduce him.

Inspired by the pulp adventure serials and monster movies of the 1930’s and 40’s, Mike Hawk and the Cult of Kings is the story of a tough-as-nails gay hero fighting to survive in the less-than-ideal world he’s been caught up in.

With the whole city at stake, you’ll follow Mike through daring shootouts, thrilling car chases, breathtaking orgies and other orgasmic adventures in a story you won’t be able to put down.  You’ll be with him as he races to get to the bottom of the mystery before the whole thing comes crashing down on him:  All leading to a climactic revelation you won’t want to miss!

Set to release in mid-December, so watch for it soon!

Welcome to the brand new kirbyquinlan.com!  I’m so excited about launching a website at the same time I’m celebrating the release of my first m/m romance novel “All That You Can’t Leave Behind” on October 12th, 2015!

If you haven’t heard about it yet, check it out:

Let go of the past. Live in the moment. The future will take care of itself.

Tailor Sway is a professional organizer on the brink of divorce. When he is hired to appear on a reality TV show called “Hoarded Houses”, he has three days to help a collector of Christmas decorations clean up her property before it’s condemned by local authorities.

Everything is going according to Tailor’s carefully laid plans. That is, until Brayzen Mapleridge, a mega-famous pop singer known for his wild, daredevil antics, shows up.

Forced to pay for a recent stunt which has turned into a serious legal matter, Brayzen is given the opportunity to avoid jail time by doing some hard labor in front of the cameras.

But, it’s not an easy thing to do while being chased by all who trail in the wake of a major celebrity. Is Brayzen sincere about helping, or is it all just part of a well-crafted publicity campaign?

Despite some initial clashes between Tailor’s uptight determination and Brayzen’s carefree attitude, the two develop an unlikely partnership that quickly blossoms into a sizzling attraction.

But, Tailor’s unresolved conflict with his husband, Grant, an emotionally scarred veteran of the Iraq War, still looms in the background amidst a whirlwind of TV cameras, relentless paparazzi, eager fans, and scathing headlines. Despite all these complications, will it be Brayzen’s own meddling mother who puts the brakes on their steamy love affair for good?

At times sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, and tragically heartbreaking; this erotic tale of love, loss and letting go promises to give you a front-row seat on Tailor and Brayzen’s crazy, romantic rollercoaster ride. Strap yourself in.
