(Shiva’s Road MC)

 

Motorcycle Club Romance, Interracial & Multicultural

Date Published: March 22, 2024

 

 

 

Ghost -- Against my better judgment, I went to Chicago to meet my father. Instead I find a sexy siren who’s fighting a daily struggle to survive. I claim her for my own the first chance I get, but that’s when our troubles really start. She won’t leave without my sister Rachel, her best friend, and I’m a long way from home and my brothers. When the bad guys attack, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them both.

Simone -- I need a way out. When Ghost arrives, I take a chance and ask him for help. But he’s the son of the man who sells my body. I don’t know how far I can trust him. My life and Rachel’s hang in the balance. Ghost says he wants me by his side forever. I’m trusting him with our lives, but can I trust him with my heart?

 

 



EXCERPT


Ghost

“This place is something else,” Beowulf said over the sound of their idling bikes.

Ghost didn’t respond, knowing his best friend didn’t expect him to. He just stared at the place his mother had called home for the last twenty-five years. The McMansion and surrounding grounds presented a vulgar display of wealth against the suburban Chicago backdrop. The pink granite drive wound around the two-story house, lit by spotlights in the center of the immaculately manicured lawn. In bright sunlight, he’d no doubt need darker shades to withstand the glare of the mica-flecked walls and white shutters. He’d known about the setup from the intel Bytes had gathered on his father before they left the compound in Central Ohio, but seeing it in person shocked the man who had grown up dirt poor in a single-wide trailer on the Mescalero Apache Tribe Reservation.

“Name,” snapped a male voice from a box built into the brick column to the left of the wrought black iron gate.

“Lucas Blackfoot,” Ghost replied. His voice sounded rusty, even to his own ears.

“You were told to come alone.”

Ghost shrugged, sure the security cameras would pick up his response.

After a long pause, the voice instructed, “Park your motorcycles in the open garage bay. You will be met at the interior door. Do not enter without an escort or you will be shot.”

“Friendly type, your Pops.” Wulf chuckled.

Ghost let his unease out by revving his old Harley. The Knucklehead vibrated the ground as the gate with a stylized W in the center pulled back to allow them entrance. They followed the drive to the right of the house, moving at a slow pace on the loose gravel, and found the place they were to leave their bikes without issue.

Almost as soon as they swung their legs over the fenders, a door at the far end of the far end of the garage opened. A limo occupied one bay. Midlife crisis cars sat in the remaining two, each of which probably cost more than Ghost had seen during his entire childhood.

A large, bald man in a black suit he couldn’t button over his flabby stomach -- a security drudge so stereotypical as to be laughable -- motioned them to come closer.

“What do you wanna bet he gets handsy?” Wulf said loud enough to be overheard.

Ghost grunted. This was gonna suck. He had planned to get in and out as quickly as possible, having minimal interaction with his sperm donor.

“Which one of you is Blackfoot?” the guard asked as they approached.

Like that wasn’t obvious. Even a toddler could tell the black-haired Native American from the Nordic blond. “I am,” Ghost replied.

“Your… companion… can wait here.” The guard put a wealth of innuendo into the word companion, still trying to get a rise out of him.

“No.” Ghost didn’t make a threatening move, but he wasn’t going into this house alone. He’d never spoken to Donald P. Willard, never went looking for his parents after his mother left the Reservation when he was eight. His father should be happy he’d only brought his best friend for backup. No way in hell would he allow himself to be separated from Wulf this early in the game.

“You come alone, or you don’t come at all.”

“Fine,” said Wulf, “We’ll be home in our beds by morning then.”

The dumbass reached out to grab Ghost by the arm. “I said --”

Ghost grabbed the guard’s hand by the thumb and bent it back. When the man tried to twist out of his grip, Ghost held on long enough to make sure the man knew Ghost was choosing to release him.

Another man, this one a little older and in better shape than the first, appeared in the doorway. “Problem?”

“He doesn’t want to come quietly, boss,” Dumbass said.

“Let him bring his little friend if it makes him feel better,” the new arrival replied. “I’m sure they won’t cause any trouble. Right, boys?”

“We’re housebroken,” Wulf assured him. “Can’t say the same for your team though. Need a lesson in manners.”

“Boss” stared at them for a few beats, then turned on his heel and walked back into the house. His lapdog followed, leaving Ghost and Wulf to take up the rear. As soon as they cleared the doorway, another man came up behind them, closing the door and walking practically on their heels. They moved through the mostly dark house in that formation until they reached a closed door with soft light spilling through around the cracks.

A knock on the door received a curt, “Enter.”

A hand on his back pushed Ghost ahead of Wulf into the room. No less opulent than the rest of the house, the study had dark built-in shelves at the back wall and thick, velvet green drapes bracketing the floor-to-ceiling windows along the side. Donald P. Willard sat behind a polished walnut desk. A Tiffany desk lamp illuminated Donald’s thick features and extremely short-cropped, graying hair. His hands were laced together in front of him, resting over a sizeable belly straining the buttons on his tailored shirt. His blue suit jacket hung on the back of his leather executive chair. The picture of a prominent light-skinned black businessman, surrounding himself with obvious signs of wealth and opulence. Ghost was pretty sure it was all a front, meant to impress.

“Son, please have a seat. The rest of you are dismissed,” Donald said.

The three bodyguards tried to grab Wulf to remove him bodily from the room, but he evaded their grasps and sat down on the green leather sofa which rested against a creamy damask wallpaper. “I think I’ll stay. I like it here,” Wulf said mildly.

“This is a private conversation between my son and myself. Please do us the courtesy of letting us have this family moment,” Donald replied.

Wulf looked to Ghost, who gave him a slight nod. Beowulf could take care of himself, and it didn’t seem like anyone was going to talk in front of his friend.

“Come on, boys. Show me the kitchen. I could use a snack after the long ride.” Wulf jumped up from the couch and led the way out into the hall.

Once they were alone and the door shut, Donald gave Ghost an appraising glance. “You look like your mother.”

Ghost knew what he meant. His father’s African American heritage didn’t show much in Ghost’s features. There didn’t seem much point in replying so Ghost didn’t bother.

Donald sighed. “Have a seat, son. We have a lot to talk about.”

Ghost sat in one of the chairs in front of Donald’s desk that matched the leather sofa. It was as uncomfortable as it looked. Still, he said nothing. He’d learned a long time ago prolonged silence had a way of getting people to start rambling just to fill the void.

“I have to say, your existence came as quite a shock to me. In all the years I’ve been married to Caroline, she never once mentioned you. Do you know why?”

“No.”

“Has she ever contacted you since she left the Reservation?”

“No.”

“I’ve always wanted a son to carry on my legacy. Surely, she would have known I’d have welcomed you with open arms.”

Ghost shrugged. His mother had signed over custody of him to his grandfather when she left, giving no explanation. His memories of her were happy, but dim. He couldn’t say why his mother did what she did, and wouldn’t tell this man even if he did know. He owed this man nothing.

“Did she tell you anything about me before she left? Anything at all?”

“No.” Ghost knew he sounded like a broken record but really what was there to say? He’d received word of his mother’s death from a lawyer, closely followed by a summons from Donald P. Willard to discuss her “affairs.” Ghost already regretted his decision to come here and couldn’t wait to get the fuck out.

“Man of few words, eh? I can respect that. Too many people don’t stand by their word these days. I’m not one of those. Old school to the core, just like my daddy.” He probably practiced his “trust me” smile in the mirror. Ghost wasn’t falling for it.

“Why am I here?” He knew why, but he wanted to see how the other man would spin it.

“I wanted to meet you, talk to you. I am your father, after all.”

“Are you sure?” Ghost was. Bytes had done the research. Donald’s name wasn’t listed on his birth certificate, but his mother had left a letter with his grandfather. The old man never said a word, but the document had been among his things given to the tribal leaders upon his death. An old friend read it to him over the phone. His father had been a high roller at one of the casinos on tribal land. His mother worked there and caught his eye. Eventually they started a relationship. She got pregnant. Eight years later, she left the Reservation to be his wife.

“Of course, I am. Your mother was faithful to me, even before we married. Or are you trying to tell me you know otherwise?” The thought seemed to anger him.

“No.”

“Well then, there you are. You’re my son. And I’d like to think we could have a good relationship now that we know about each other.”

Ghost almost said no again, just to see what the other man would do, but managed to stop himself. Instead, he changed tracks. “Your letter promised legal action if I didn’t show. That’s not very… fatherly.”

“That was before I got to know you. My security team did a little digging. Can’t blame a man for wanting to get to know all about a son he suddenly finds out about, can you? And now I know you’ve served your country well, but you’ve fallen on hard times. That motorcycle club you’re with, well, I’d like to see my son socializing with a better class of people. I can and will help you there.”

“No.” The word came out fast and emphatic. Shiva’s Road MC was his family now. Not this man.

“OK, OK, I can see I’m moving too fast for you. A habit in my business. You don’t make money letting grass grow under your feet!”

Donald’s business, according to Bytes, barely paid the mortgage on this eyesore these days. Donald’s father had been a solid contractor for large scale buildings in downtown Chicago. But cutting corners to underbid other contractors, shoddy supplies, and other bad business practices had given the family business a bad name. Donald scrambled to cover his monthly debts and if he didn’t hire better lawyers, he’d be facing jail time. Then there was the little matter of his gambling debts…

Instead of replying right away, Ghost let his attention drift around the office. There were business books, decanters containing various kinds of alcohol with the usual glasses, and several framed pictures. One of the pictures caught his eye. Two young women were laughing with their arms around each other in front of a fountain. One had black hair, dusky skin and a more than passing resemblance to Donald. She must be Rachael, his half-sister.

The other woman -- he didn’t recognize her -- was nothing less than stunning. Platinum-blonde hair surrounded her tanned face in a halo as the sunshine poured down on her, seeming to illuminate her from within. The red top she wore hugged her more-than-a-handful breasts and rode up enough to show a strip of her belly. The matching skirt flared out from curvy hips that begged to be gripped with his large hands and held onto for a wild ride. Though he couldn’t tell the exact color of her eyes from the photograph, they seemed to sparkle with mischief. And her full lips, painted the same red as her shirt, were a form of temptation all their own. He wanted to lick and suck and taste every inch of her. His cock came to life behind his zipper as he studied the image. He’d never had such a visceral reaction to a woman, let alone one he’d seen only in a picture, in his life.

Interview


Tell us about your book?

What is the PRIMARY benefit, above all others, that your potential reader will gain from reading this book? (Be very specific. Please do not answer with 'good read' or 'page turner' or some other worn-out, overused phrase. Be concise and avoid generalization.)

I have always had a passion for backstories of characters, especially villain backstories. In books, tv shows, and films, those were always some of my favorite parts of the overall narrative. And the books, specifically Before the Emerald Crown, tell the story of the villain’s viewpoint and take the reader on a journey until they reach the point where they say “Oh my, I would have done all this, too! I would have been the villain!”

 

If you had to compare this book to any other book out there, which book would it be?

(Remember: The audience does not yet know you. It is very important that you reference something they might be familiar with to effectively and powerfully communicate what your work is about. You are NOT saying you are 'better than' or 'just like' this comparative, but are somewhat the same in a very general sense, to give the listener a point of reference.)

Fans of Melanie Karsak’s fairy tale retellings, like Spindles and Thorns, Laura Burton’s Under the Sea, and the Disney Twisted tales series will love this story.

 

 

Hundreds of thousands of books come out every year. Why should someone buy THIS book? (What is it that sets THIS book apart from ALL those other books in the same genre or category? What will the buyer get from you and ONLY you that simply cannot be found elsewhere?)   

In this story, not only do we have a villain backstory, we have one that hasn’t been told before – the book focuses on the witch in the woods character (which is also one of my fave character tropes) from the Disney Brave film. We haven’t had her backstory yet, and since watching the film, I wondered, what would make her craft such a twisted curse? So I wrote that story.

 

 

Who is your target audience? (Be very specific. Gender? Age range? Geographic area? Primary interests? What benefits does the reader hope to gain from buying a book like this book?)

 Since the book is low steam, it is appropriate for young adults as well as older readers. Most of the interest in the books has come from gen z and late millennial readers, mostly women who love fantasy and romantasy books. Before the Emerald Crown has elements of both, and is a little dark, so readers who enjoy those elements love the book.

 

Did your environment or upbringing play a major role in your writing and did you use it to your advantage?

The book focuses on the witch in the woods character, and I feel like that character a lot – the odd older woman who hides in her house – so I feel that might have played a part. Outside of that, I pulled on history, folklore, and fantasy elements to bring this book together.

 

Tell us your most rewarding experience since publishing your work?

Fans who love my book boxes. Right now I am all sold out and waiting on book delivery because of how popular these book boxes are! I have a Before the Emerald Crown book box and a fairy tale book box with my other three fairy tales, and people love them, the books, the art, the story, the villainous themes that run through everything. I love how people love the books.

 

How would you describe your writing style?

I was heavily influenced by the Bronte sisters and the Outlander book series back in the 1990s. So I write a mix of causal and dynamic, thich with emotion, and detailed dark scenes, especially death scenes. Since I usually write romance, probably not the best . . . lol

 

Are your characters pure fiction, or did you draw from people you know?

 A mix of both. My primary characters are fictional, but I include secondary characters pulled from people I know and use real historical figures in the setting as well.

 

Are you more of a character artist or a plot-driven writer?

Yikes! I’m not sure and it depends on the book. I think more character driven overall, and definitely for Before the Emerald Crown, as there is a lot of self-doubt and introspection. I see the book as a vehicle, and the characters drive that car. But sometimes cars go off-roading, and that’s when the plot takes over.

 

What do you hope to accomplish with your book other than selling it?

I have a lot more books planned in the series, ones outside of the typical Disney fairy tale genre, so I’d like use this book as way so see what else I will be doing with these books. Even though it is from a Disney film, it does not have the iconic nature of some of these other Disney villains, and so I used it as a transition to other fairy tale stories

PROMO Blitz: Code of Reanimation by Lanie Mores #promo #giveaway #paranormal #thriller #scifi #horror #rabtbooktours @LanieMores @RABTBookTours

 

 

Spin-off of the Father of Contention series

 

Paranormal Thriller, Science Fiction, Horror

Date Published: 11-14-2023

 

 

Freedom is a state of mind.

Brigita Nowak has only ever wanted one thing—her freedom. Labelled psychotic and committed to a mental institution at seventeen, she missed the chance of a “normal” life. She never held a job, owned her own place, or experienced love. Until now.

After awakening sprawled on the common room floor—the hospital in ruins, the staff and patients missing—she realizes it’s her chance to escape. Seeking sanctuary with her sister, she meets “the boyfriend” Renner Scholz, a vile yet brilliant geneticist. He has developed a bioweapon, the Code of Reanimation, destined to destroy the world. Or so Brigita believes. She’s been seeing zombie hallucinations as of late, a sure premonition of the highly contagious bioweapon getting out of hand. Why the connection? Because the bioweapon reanimates dead organisms into bloodthirsty killing machines.

Brigita has typically experienced death-based hallucinations, blamed on her mental illness. She, however, always felt they were psychic premonitions. Convinced that Renner intends to release the bioweapon at a public fundraising event, she teams up with a handsome love interest to thwart the catastrophe. But, as Brigita’s visions kick into hyperdrive and timelines blur, she must determine which events are based on reality or delusional constructs of her subconscious mind...

before it’s too late.

Blog Tour: Crimeline Hollywood by Thomas Collins #blogtour #interview #thriller #humor #rabtbooktours @CrimelineThomas @RABTBookTours

 



Comic Mystery / Thriller / Humor

Date Published: December 28, 2023

Publisher: Mindstir Media


 

Whoever thought an astrologer's life could be so dangerous? Especially when you're "Hollywood's Astrologer to the Stars." Yet he once crawled out on a 20-story beam to talk down a suicidal celebrity. And when he gave a Vegas casino owner a costly piece of advice, he found himself the target of a hitman.

Fortunately he escaped only to face another crisis: the kidnapping of Sparklynn James, his most famous client. After the Feds falter on the case, the family asks him to assist Rebecca Fairway, a publicity-seeking P.I. (a.k.a. "The Glamorous Gumshoe) to find her. Not exactly the A Team.

But a coded ransom message from Sparklynn herself points them in the right direction...leading them straight into a web of corporate evil.




Interview

Introduction   My Background

I grew up in Central Florida in the years before Mickey Mouse and The Magic Kingdom arrived. I graduated from Wake Forest then went onto the University of Missouri's School of Journalism to earn my M.A. with idea I would became an "ad man." However, by then I graduated there were no ad jobs to be found so I turned to public relations.

 

In the early 1970s I served as Manager of Public Affairs for Winston-Salem's Chamber of Commerce. There I had my own weekly radio show plus regular appearances on the local Morning Show. I also wrote and produced a 30-minute documentary on the city's recent re-development efforts called "Same Town New City" and created an anti-shoplifting campaign.

 

Later in my career I became Director of Corporate Communications for Blue Bell, a Fortune 500 company which makes Wrangler Jeans. During my 11-year run there I took the world's largest pair of jeans (four stories high) to the steps of the Capitol in Washington to lobby for the jobs of American textile workers. The jeans were signed by workers from 80 plants around the country and appeared in newspaper photos around the country. At Wrangler I also edited the corporate magazine and won more than two dozens profession awards for my work there including "Business Communicator of the Year" for the Southeast district of the U.S.

 

My Journey as a Writer

The first book I wrote was a mystery and the plot centered around the dramatic breakthrough in the development of an electric car. The man who designed it was kidnapped while on vacation in New England. The car would be fast enough to be entered in The Indianapolis 500. (This was written in the late 1980s and all of this became true, except that an electric car was not allowed to enter the race because it was not gas-powered.) The book was not published. I sent it to a former book editor for a major publisher for a critique. She tore it apart for my cardboard characters and flat style of writing.

 

I took this very seriously and worked hard to correct these faults when I wrote Crimeline Hollywood. I gave special attention to the characters, making them more colorful and quirky.  It worked. When I sent this book in for a professional critique, I got a different kind of response.

It was extremely positive and told it was one of the best manuscripts she had seen. Armed with this positive reception , I sent it to many agents who prompted returned it with a standard reply that pretty much indicated it had not been read. That's why, after a few more years I gave it some more polish and contacted MindStir. The reader there also gave it a very positive evaluation.

 

Why the turnaround? Besides the attention to character, I changed from a traditional narrative style to a more free-wheeling one, which I thought to be more entertaining and reader friendly. I was heavily influenced by author and screenwriter William Goldman.

 

My Book

Crimeline Hollywood is a fresh take on the classic mystery. The book's cover describes it as "A madcap mystery with wide-screen suspense." This is the story of Dash Harwood Harwood, "Hollywood's Astrologer to the Stars" who teams up with celebrity detective Rebecca Fairway to so solve the kidnapping of super star Sparklynn James, Dash's most famous client, after the FBI fails to make any progress in the case. Rebecca and Dash catch a big break when Sparklynn sends a coded message hidden inside one of the ransom messages. Starting with Gloryview, a fancy health resort, Dash and Rebecca (a.k.a. "The Gorgeous Gumshoe") follow a trail that sends them into a web of corporate evil.

 

Crimeline Hollywood literally starts at 90 miles hour as Dash floors the accelerator on his mother's ancient LincolnTown Car to elude a hit man sent by a vengeful Vegas casino owner. For his own safety, Dash decides to lay low miles far from Hollywood in a folksy little mountain town in North Carolina where he falls in love with the beautiful Ruthann. Just as the romance heats up, Sparklynn is kidnapped and Dash is called away to help find Sparklynn. Thus the book is not only a mad cap mystery with sizzling suspense, it's also includes a heartbreaking romance. A little something for every reader.

 

 

Message For Readers

If you're a mystery lover, you'll enjoy this fresh take on the classic mystery. It's a story with wide-screen suspense, lurid tabloid headlines, and a heavy helping of humor.

 


About the Author

Thomas Collins wrote his first book, The Adventures of Tom and Rom, at the age of ten. (Now out of print) As an adult he gained valuable knowledge of the inner workings of big business as corporate communications director for a Fortune 500 company. Crimeline Hollywood is his first mystery though not his last, especially since the hitman from Crimeline is still on the loose. Like his hero, Dash Harwood, he is an Aquarian who likes to think outside the box… once he cuts through all the packaging.
