Woooo hoooooo! Kai’s Next Adventure, Mad Lizard Mambo, is now up for pre-order on DSPP! Link is here!

UPDATED RELEASE DATE: SEPT 13, 2016

Third Party like Amazon and others to follow. No, audio isn’t on the schedule yet. As soon as we know when it’s coming out, I’ll let you know. Yes, Greg Tremblay will be doing it. 😀

Mad Lizard Mambo
Kai Gracen has no intention of being anyone’s pawn. A pity Fate and SoCalGov have a different opinion on the matter.

Licensed Stalkers make their living hunting down monsters and dangerous criminals… and their lives are usually brief, brutal, and thankless. Despite being elfin and cursed with a nearly immortal lifespan, Kai didn’t expect to be any different. Then Ryder, the High Lord of the Southern Rise Court, arrived in San Diego, Kai’s not-so-mundane life went from mild mayhem to full-throttle chaos.

Now an official liaison between the growing Sidhe Court and the human populace, Kai is at Ryder’s beck and call for anything a High Lord might need a Stalker to do. Unfortunately for Kai, this means chasing down a flimsy rumor about an ancient lost Court somewhere in the Nevada desert—a court with powerful magics that might save Ryder—and Kai’s—people from becoming a bloody memory in their Merged world’s violent history.

The race for the elfin people’s salvation opens unwelcome windows into Kai’s murky past, and it could also slam the door on any future he might have with his own kind and Ryder.

Guest Post: Charlie Cochet Stops by with A Smoke & Mirrors Blog Tour Post and Giveaway!

On 11 Jul 1604 Jul 16 By Rhys FordIn Free Stuff, Good News, Heh32 Comments

Hello, all! Thank you all so much for joining me here today as we kick off the Smoke & Mirrors blog tour! A big thank you to the awesome Rhys Ford for having me today as we celebrate the release of the 7th book in the THIRDS series. To start off the tour, I thought I’d share a little about our resident gummy-bear-munching hero Dexter J. Daley.

In book 1 of the series we’re introduced to Dexter Justice Daley. We’re now at book 7 and Dex has come a heck of a long way. He’s been dragged through hell and back, yet he always manages to get back up, brush himself off, and find his smile again. Dex never loses himself, or his sense of humor. Always ready with a one liner, snappy comeback, or a joke, Dex is the heart of the THIRDS.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Genre: Paranormal Gay Romance
Series: THIRDS
Length: Novel
Published: July 8th, 2016
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Cover Artist: L.C. Chase
Ebook ISBN-13: 9781634773871
Paperback ISBN-13: 9781634773874

Life for Dexter J. Daley has never been easy, but he’s always found a way to pick himself back up with a smile on his face. Taken from his home, and the arms of his boyfriend and THIRDS partner, Sloane Brodie, Dex finds himself in a situation as mysterious and lethal as the Therian interrogating him. Dex learns what he’s secretly believed all along: his parents’ death wasn’t an accident.

Discovering the whole truth about John and Gina Daley’s homicide sets off a series of events that will change Dex and Sloane’s lives forever. As buried secrets rise to the surface and new truths are revealed, Dex and Sloane’s love for each other is put to the test, with more than their relationship on the line. If traversing the waters of murder and secret government agencies wasn’t enough, something inexplicable has been happening to Dex—and nothing will ever be the same.

I’m not dead… I’m in New York.

On 09 Jul 16 By Rhys FordIn Food, Good News1 Comment

Swear to God… not dead. I’ve been in New York this week for ThrillerFest. Awesome workshop at Grand Hyatt in New York.

Thank you for hanging out with us…and a list of the winners!

On 02 Jul 16 By Rhys FordIn Bloggy Stuff, Free Stuff, Good News14 Comments

A sincere and heartfelt thank you from both Greg and I. Thank you for putting up with my glitchiness and well, I’m in full admiration of Greg’s organizational and professional skills. The dog of course extended his opinion and now is lounging about as if he wasn’t a pain in the butt. The cat promptly threw up the rose leaf she’d munched on and then asked for dinner. Ah the glorious life I lead.

That being said… thank you. Truly and deeply, thanks to all of you for being there…and being here. We are nothing without you. I’ll have you know. Your support and good wishes carry us forward every step of the way and in all of this, I hope we… Greg and I… keep you company on the days when perhaps you need a bit of cheer, a bit of tears and a whole hell of a lot of love. So please take with you our deepest gratitude.
