Footsteps in the Dark pre-order & inspiration


Footsteps in the Dark is now available for pre-order at all third party vendors!

Blurb: The snick of a lock. The squeak of door hinges. The creak of a floorboard...

Nothing is more mysterious than footsteps in the dark. Are those approaching steps that of friend or enemy? Lover or killer?

Authors L.B. Gregg, Nicole Kimberling, Josh Lanyon, Dal MacLean, Z.A. Maxfield, Meg Perry, C.S. Poe and S.C. Wynne join forces for Footsteps in the Dark, eight sexy and suspenseful novellas of Male/Male Mystery and Romance.



Lights. Camera. Murder. is a bit different from my other titles. The main character, private investigator Rory Byrne, is far more serious than goofy Aubrey Grant of Southernmost Murder, and not nearly as sarcastic as Sebastian Snow of the Snow & Winter series. Rory is so hyperfocused on his job, on the rules and regulations of Dupin Private Investigations, that he has not allowed himself to live for many, many years. He is, in fact, a very lonely man. Part of his journey, in between working undercover on a film set to sniff out a thief, is finding the flame for love and life again. Unfortunately, Rory has found that spark in the form of Marion Roosevelt, the leading actor on the television show of The Bowery, and a suspect in his investigation.

One of the songs that really inspired Rory's character and method of narration was Human by Of Monsters and Men. The rest of the amazing authors in the anthology found similar songs that spoke to them, and Josh Lanyon made a great playlist if you'd like to check them out here.

Lights. Camera. Murder. blurb

Footsteps in the Dark anthology releases at the end of May! It can be pre-ordered at Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Amazon's link will be coming shortly as well.

Check out the official blurb for my novella, Lights. Camera. Murder.

Blurb: Private investigator Rory Byrne has gained a reputation as someone the elite of New York City can trust to solve their problems quickly and quietly. So when a hotshot television producer hires him to recover a stolen script, Rory will have to go undercover on the set of a historical drama to complete the job. He has his hands full trying to investigate a skeptical crew while they work around the clock on The Bowery, a new show that promises to shake up the television industry. To make a delicate situation more complicated, the production is led by out-and-proud actor Marion Roosevelt, and Rory is downright smitten.
But every member of the cast and crew is a suspect in the theft. And the deeper Rory delves into their on-set personalities, the more suspicious Marion’s behavior becomes. If Rory is to uncover the theft without sacrificing the fate of The Bowery, he will have to trust his identity and his heart to Marion.
