'The Beast Within'

Blurb:
A cannibalistic serial killer targeting gay men is on
the loose.
Devin, who has become increasingly erratic in the
last two months, just split up with Gary, his lover of three years. Vanni, a
habitué of the gay clubs, makes extra spending money on his knees in the club
johns. Is one of these men the killer? Or will one of them instead become the
killer's next target?
Detective Hollis Robbins is in charge of the case. He
intends to stop the killer, if he can.
When the killer strikes again the four men's lives intertwine as the
search for the murderer intensifies. Will the attraction that two of them begin
to feel for each other survive the hunt? Do they have the strength to continue
on after tragedy strikes and teaches them that love can be bittersweet?

Excerpt:
"Hey,
where you headed now?"
Gary looked over his shoulder and gave a hint of a smile.
"Nowhere, everywhere. Hell if I know. Just away from here."
"Come
on, Gary, it's
not so bad." Devin walked quickly toward him, hand held out. "Stick
around and unwind."
Gary glanced down at the hand then up at Devin again.
"Dance? That does nothing for me."
"So we
do something else." Devin let his hand drop down to his side again. He was
tempted to just turn and go back to the dance floor. To find someone else and
sate his need to wipe away the last month. But… He bit his lip. "Come on,
just one dance?"
"What
would that accomplish? It's over, done, finito. No more games, Devin. You've
changed and it's… not working anymore." With that said, Gary walked quickly out of the club.
Devin watched
him go and felt empty inside. When someone touched his shoulder he spun around
then smiled bitterly. "If you're here to watch the meltdown it's not
happening."
Vanni
chuckled softly. "Of course it's not. He's not worth it. Come, let me help
you forget him." He held out his hand and Devin took it.
The lights,
the mass of humanity on the dance floor, the throb of the music, all began to
work their magic and soon Devin was lost in a world beyond reality. Faces spun
by until they blurred into one, known and unfamiliar at the same moment. Hot
bodies, lathered in sweat, glistened eerily under the flashing lights as they
moved chaotically to the sounds of frenetic instruments.
Vanni held
him tightly while he wove an erotic spell around Devin that only heightened the
other sensations. Desire swelled within him just as his cock swelled beneath
the tightness of his jeans. He needed… he needed…
"No!"
Devin broke free, his eyes wild. They glistened green and red and gold as the
multi-colored pulsating beams flashed over them.
"Devin!"
Vanni said sharply.
"I
can't… I need…" Devin spun around to thread his way erratically through
the whirling bodies to the door. As he got to the door he glanced back to see
Vanni watching him, his face devoid of emotion before he turned away.
Probably
looking for the next man willing to dance with him, Devin thought in disgust.

My Favorite Things by DC Juris
Hi folks! DC
Juris here. I'll be your guest host for today. For those of you who don't know
me, I'm a transgender fella who writes GLBTQ and heterosexual romance, but
mostly m/m.
Today, I wanted
to talk about things that make me smile. They're not big things, and maybe some
of them are kooky, but they're my sanity savers.
Touching soft
fabrics in a store. I admit it – I can't walk down a blanket aisle without
touching all the blankets. I grin like an idiot when my fingers brush chenille
or velvet, and fleece makes me giggle.
The dark of the
sky and the gusts of the wind before a storm. There is something magical there,
sitting with the fury of nature, the expectation of what's to come sizzling on
your skin.
Rainbows. Yeah,
I get the science behind them, but to me, they're magic. I can't tell you how
many times Hubby has indulged me by driving around trying to find the end, or
the best spot to get a picture. And the first time I saw a double rainbow, I
freaked out just as much as the YouTube guy. LOL (If you don't get the
reference, head over to YouTube and search for "double rainbow guy
original". Totally worth it.)
Certain animals,
like turtles, butterflies, snails, and ladybugs. My mother used to say that if
you found a ladybug on the hem of your dress, you'd have good luck. I didn't
wear dresses all that often, but I love these little bugs.
Garden gnomes.
Who doesn’t love garden gnomes? They're so happy and whimsical. I'd have a
whole herd of them if I had space.
Mushrooms. Real
ones, fake ones – I just love mushrooms. At one point in our old house, my
entire kitchen was done in retro mushrooms. Nowadays it's a little more toned
down, but my current décor does include a collection of mushroom postage stamps
from around the world, which Hubby mounted and framed for me.
But enough about my favorite things - what are yours?

Quiz for Bright People
A friend sent this to me, and I'm posting it just for the fun of it.
There are only nine questions.
This is a quiz for people who know everything!
I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions.
They are straight questions with straight answers..
1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.
2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?
3 Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?
4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.
7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?
8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.
9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.'

4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry.
5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.
6. Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle...
7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.
