dirty_heart_cover_smaller_blogDirty Heart
Former LAPD detective Cole McGinnis’s life nearly ended the day his police partner and best friend Ben Pirelli emptied his service weapon into Cole and his then-lover, Rick. Since Ben turned his gun on himself, Cole thought he’d never find out why Ben tried to destroy him.

Years later, Cole has stitched himself back together. Now a private investigator and in love with Jae-Min Kim, a Korean-American photographer he met on a previous case, Cole’s life is back on track—until he discovers Jeff Rollins, a disgraced cop and his first partner, has resurfaced and appears to be working on the wrong side of the law.

As much as Cole’s fought to put the past behind him, he’s soon tangled up in a web of lies, violence, and death. Jeff Rollins is not only trying to kill Cole’s loved ones, he is also scraping open old wounds and long-forgotten memories of the two men Cole loved and lost. Cole is sure Rollins knows why Ben ruined all their lives, but he isn’t looking for answers. Now Cole is caught in a cat-and-mouse game with a cold-blooded killer with the key to not only his past but his future.

dirty_heart_cover_smaller_blogGreg just posted this on Facebook. Thought I’d share it here.

Well.. I’ve just submitted the final files for the final book in the Cole McGinnis Mysteries.

“Dirty Heart” is off to the publisher, and (barring any mistakes I’ve missed) will be ready for your ears… hopefully as soon as next Friday.

What an amazing journey that’s been. Laughter, tears… so many Korean names.

See you around Cole. Ann-yeong na-jung-e bwae, Jae-yah.

Take care of each other, and don’t let Neko eat the dog.

On to new projects… and new loves. Cheers guys.

-G *HUGS* to you Rhys

Announcing the Final Dirty Tour!

bannerOnly a few more days (okay less than seven) until Dirty Heart, the final book in the Cole McGinnis series, is released and it is with a bittersweet joy, I say farewell to Cole, Jae, Bobby, Ichi, Claudi, Mike, Scarlet and everyone else.

A lot of things have happened since I’ve started this series. I got to meet a lot of wonderufl readers who came along for the ride and sadly, said farewell to Neko’s namesake this past year. My own little black furry diva will be sorely missed but I am delighted to have shared her with all of you… as I have Cole and his misadventures.

So for the final Dirty tour, I will present short scenes from Jae’s POV. Many are from instances in the books and a couple are in-betweens but I tried to find places where Jae really needed to speak. I hope you enjoy them.

And a tour cannot be a tour without a giveaway! So…. here’s what’s happening at the blogs! Leave a comment or Rafflecopter entry (or however the blog wants to run the giveaway) and be entered to win a $20 gift certificate from an e-tailer of your choice BUT that is not all. From these winners, I will randomly select ONE person to be a character in my other Los Angeles series, Murder and Mayhem. So hit up every blog, enter to win! ONE winner per blog for the certificate, one grand prize winner chosen from those winners!

The tour will hit these blogs on the specified date and I’ll update as it goes along. Good luck and most of all, thank you. Truly.

Love you all.

Lambda Awards and Reaching Home

Murder and MayhemI was sitting in the Houston airport with very little sleep and too little coffee. Opening email and discovered I have become a Lambda finalist for Murder and Mayhem under the Gay Mystery category.

Chuffed is a word that came to mind. So did sleep but you know you’re excited when one of the most singular honours bestowed to you is fighting off a bone-weary tired.

It’s an incredible thing to discover Murder and Mayhem is in consideration of that honour. AND I would also like to congratulate everyone who made the finalist list and a special shout out to my fellow DSP / DSPP authors John Inman and Brad Boney!

I have to thank Elizabeth North, Lynn West, Grace M. whose name I would botch spelling because I’m brain dead along with the rest of the editing team and all of DSP as well as a loving shout out to Greg Tremblay who took Murder and Mayhem into a wonderful audiobook. It is a group effort. Everything I write is held up by a fantastic team. I am so so so so so thankful to the readers as well. Because you all rock.

Thank you all and it is honour to be named with this year’s illustrious group.

Not Dead

I swear. I’m not dead.

I am in Florida for the annual DSP sleepover and zombie crawl….er workshop.

Had a lovely visit with Rick Reed and Friends (mostly because I dunno what name they want to use here) and then Jaime Samms came in and we went to dinner. Jaime and daughter crashed in my room last night before they head off to great and bigger rooms with the person whom they love more and I get a new roommate… Mary.

It’s like Cell Block Tango but with less murdery bits.

Stayed up to 2 talking. Which is normal. Which is why it becomes a zombie crawl. There are teeny gators in the atrium area of this hotel. I’ll grab a new picture of them today when they’re awake.

Going to work on the Dirty Heart blog tour stuff….and then… ONTO THE NEXT CAMEL!
