It is release day for my third novel, Need Your Love!
Get Need Your Love directly from JMS Books!
Dedication:
For Tina, whose love and
devotion to me surpasses my writing career and encompasses most parts of my
life. Thank you for taking me under your wing and helping me make Need Your Love the story it was meant to
be.
Acknowledgements:
My husband always tops the list
of acknowledgements. Thanks to his ongoing support, and sometimes taking on
extra chores around the house so I can write or edit, Need Your Love is finished today.
My number one beta readers are
my mom and dad. Extra thanks to Dad this time, first of all for proofreading
gay sex scenes. Dad also helped out with much of the information needed to make
the golf scenes authentic. Becky Condit rounds out a list of much appreciated
beta readers this go around.
The House of Manlove Critique
group has been a huge influence in the development of my writing over the last
two years. While I didn’t send this manuscript through the weekly critique
system, I tried to apply much of what I have learned from them on other
projects. A few of the members beta read the first version of this novel and
helped me shape it into the version you read today. In alphabetical order:
Genna Donaghy, J.T. Hall, Skye Jones, Jon Keys, Kate Lowell, Chris McHart, Jenna
Wade, and Heloise West.
And once again, a huge thanks to
everyone at JMS Books, LLC for their support of this novel and my writing
career.
Blurb
In June, 1966, ACLU attorney Eron Lassiter attends his
uncle’s wedding, and makes an unsettling discovery. Though he’d bowed to family
pressure and has a potential marriage planned, his long-ignored attraction to
other men roars to life when Garrett Emerson, the bride’s nephew, captures his
attention.
After serving in the Korean War and going to college later
than his peers, upwardly mobile Garrett is a loan officer at a local bank. For
his girlfriend, fiancé in her mind, he can’t climb fast enough. But none of
that matters to Eron, and maybe that’s why Garrett’s so drawn to him.
Can Eron and Garrett find happiness amidst the still
pervasive culture of propriety, honor, and expectation in the 1960s?
