Iniquities

Someone is always asking about my Cohort Trilogy, so I figured I’d tell you a bit about it each week.

First of all, the three books in the trilogy are called Absolution , Progression , and Iniquities . However, let’s speak about Absolution , Book 1 for now.

In it a reader gets to meet four friends, three women and their gay male roommate Beau [Bo.] Beau and the ladies call themselves cohorts because often they find themselves in untoward situations,together --many of which you the reader will get to see firsthand or hear about through their telling.

Also from time to time in Absolution , you get to glimpse the friends --who are in their early thirties-- before they knew one another.

Therefore, as the story progresses, you will also understand why certain characters engage in full-blown circus acts, while others are decidedly calmer.

While reading, you will perceive the thought processes of each cohort; then when they do something potentially scandalous you will understand the reason(s) behind the act. Don’t get me wrong now... I didn’t say you would agree with the character, but you will know what caused them to do as they did.

Uh-oh, since this is the season where busy-ness abounds, friends & fam I have got to run. Gotta write, gotta cook, gotta shop, gotta exercise—yep, so I can eat more, and I’ve got to get my tree up—oh and I have laundry to do too! So I will see you soon, with more on The Cohort Trilogy.

Don’t forget though, each book is available in a beautiful 6X9 glossy paperback —for those of us who yet like real books. Find them many places on the web. All are available in e-book and are on Kindle as well as Nook. Here on Goodreads they are available on epub for a nominal fee --they cost less than lunch, so do yourself or someone else a favor... give them the gift of reading! You and they will be glad you did.

Okay, really leaving now. Be good, or be good at it!

Hi Readers,

I wanted to let you know about my latest novel. Entitled Iniquities it is the closer, Book III in The Cohort Trilogy.

Here's a little information about it...

In Iniquities the beautiful, buff, gay male Beau is back...

I wrote this, the closer, the third novel in The Cohort Trilogy, because after the first one, readers kept requesting a sequel. Therefore in Iniquities, readers can learn how Beauregard DeVeaux and the women in his life became forever friends. They can also view all his sexy shadowy secrets...and the one thing that just might finally tear his fragile family of friends apart.

I must say I love this book! Sure, Beau our main character has his faults, but he is a dream and now we again get to see why. The prior two books, Absolution & Progression caused readers to believe they 'knew' our main man. However, this book shows that there was so much more that wasn't known or understood about sexy Beau.

I must tell you, the situations in Iniquities are so real -- some are hilarious, and some are truly heart-wrenching, but it's life --Beau's life. So take this journey with the man that readers have grown to love. Fall for him, and his peops, all over again.

As with everything I write, I have given this my all. I had help too. My lovely male friends (gay and not) didn't hesitate to give me their input. So I must say, this is truly adult material...

Readers, you are going to love and enjoy Iniquities!
