Where have you dreamed of going?
Humm, where have I dreamed of going? I can think of several places in fantasy novels I’d love to visit. However as that’s not in the least bit possible I’d have to say Venice. The Venice of dark alleys that lead to canals filled with nefarious characters seeking their fortunes, or their enemies. Yes I’m a romantic. I’d also like to see the rest of the city. It’s so steeped in history; murder, mayhem, great art, great architecture. Everything to make a writer’s heart beat faster. And to go there during Carnevale… Fantastico I think.
Here’s what you have to do to be entered to win a copy of my book – ‘Everyone’s Man’

Colin Wilcox, a male whore who only handles clients of the same sex, is gang-raped while on the job. Needing medical attention, he's taken to the local ER and is befriended by one of the doctors. While he's recovering physically, reoccurring flashbacks of the attack provide small images of his brutal rape and he’s forced by Detective Keyes to handle the emotional fallout of being victimized.
Detective Keyes, a rape victim himself, is assigned to solve the crime. When a second boy is gang-raped under what appears to be similar circumstances, he needs Colin‘s help to catch the perpetrators. In the process, he tries to use his own personal experience to help Colin understand he’s not to blame for what happened.
A slow, but sure, friendship unfolds between the two men that blossoms into love, stunted by the traumatic event. When the perpetrators are finally in custody, Colin has to move forward, and the next battle is underway. He must learn to lower the barriers that will allow him to let Detective Keyes into his life for both mental and physical support. Only then will the two men be able to consummate their tender passion.

Ireland is a place that calls to my soul the culture the folklore and most of all the land. The Emerald Isle with its rolling hills and high bluff overlooking treacherous ocean views. That's where I dream of going.
ReplyDeleteamandawoodward1976@yahoo.com
Sigh!! Venice!! I so want to go to the carnivals. Some day maybe^^
