My new novel "Teacher's Pet" is out and available at www.authorhouse.com. Here's the promo splash and an excerpt:
She’s kept her secret hidden from the world. She’s denied herself the love for which her heart and body yearns. But when a new student enters her life, her dreams of love and happiness seem about to become reality…if she’s willing to take the chance to peruse it.
But just as that love begins, someone threatens not only to take it away, but to ruin her career and her life. To save herself, she must either give in to her unknown enemy or somehow find the courage and means to fight back.
The Black takes readers on an unforgettable journey into a world of erotic obsession, intense love and dark mystery, a world of dreams realized and long-hidden secrets revealed.

Excerpt:
A thrill of alarm shot up her spine. Something felt wrong. Some primal instinct warned her that danger was near. Janet climbed quickly off the bed. Now fully awake, she stood naked and alert in the empty room.
What did she say to me?
Their clothes were still on the floor at the foot of the bed.
Would Kim leave without her clothes?
Perhaps, but the sight of the girl’s tee shirt, shorts, and underwear abandoned on the floor brought on a fresh wave of panic. Janet tugged on her jeans and blouse and padded out of the bedroom in anxious search of her young lover.
The hallway was dark, adding to her anxiety.
Weren’t the lights on when we came up here?
Gathering her courage, she eased down the hall toward the stairs, feeling her way with one hand against the wall.
Where the hell is the light switch?
Her eyes gradually adjusted to the dark, and she spotted a thin ribbon of illumination at the far end of the hall. A door down there was slightly ajar, and the light came from the room beyond. Janet moved faster down the corridor toward that light.
As she passed the closed doors along the way she felt that thrill of anxiety again, as if she expected something to spring from one of the rooms and drag her down from behind. Her skin crawled and she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stiffen in anticipation of a cold, clammy hand grabbing her from the darkness, but she resisted the urge to run, to give in to what she knew was irrational fear.
She reached the door of the lit room and shoved it open without hesitating. She didn’t know what was on the other side but she was mad to get into the light, to escape the threatening darkness behind her.

I invite anyone who's interested in a good lesbian drama that's about more than sex (though there's plenty of tha) to take a look at "Teacher's Pet."
Best Wishes!
