Also if you’re interested, you can preview the first two chapters on my website and in PDF.

Book Description:
Reporter Kevin Price has a knack for tripping over his own feet. And everyone else’s. He’s in over his head undercover at the Haven, a swanky gay sex club, determined to find out why members of the club keep vanishing. Five minutes inside and he can no longer deny the truth about his sexuality. He turns to the one man he can’t get out of his head, the sexy ex-cop handling security. Too bad Kevin doesn’t trust cops. Not since the only night he let himself be with another man.

Walter Simon doesn’t do the club scene anymore. Not since he found love and lost it. That doesn’t mean he’ll let anyone hurt more innocent gay men. Even if that means going head-to-head with the klutzy, closeted, much-younger reporter. Kevin has information about the disappearances. Better to keep him close. And safe.

Neither is at the club to hook up or fall in love. Now they must work together amid their growing passion in order to uncover the truth before more men disappear.

If you check it out, I hope you enjoy Walter and Kevin’s story.

Happy reading!

Something to Believe In Releasing This Month

Posted on December 3, 2012 by SloanParker

I have a release date for my holiday story! Something to Believe In is coming December 23, 2012 from MLR Press. It’s about two young homeless men who fall in love and search for a way to stay off the streets and build a life together.

Here’s the official description:

After running away from the hatred and abuse of their teen years, Sean and Gavin have been hustling to survive for too long now. When some extra cash lands them alone in a hotel room until Christmas, they can no longer deny their feelings for each other. Now neither one can imagine watching the other walk off with one more trick. Even with no money and no job prospects, Sean is determined to not just show Gavin what a real home and holiday is like, but to keep them off the streets for good and build a life together.

Length: 17,500+ words
Release date: 12/23/2012
Publisher: MLR Press

This one wasn’t in my original plans for this year, but I’m really glad I took the time to write it. (Huge thanks to Kris Jacen at MLR for the encouragement!) When I was finished with Sean and Gavin’s story, I was surprised at the outcome. It was quite different than I’d originally conceived. It’s very emotional, not erotic as I’d planned. And in the end, I had no doubt I was meant to tell this story, both because of the subject matter and what I learned through the research and writing.

Writing this story, I unintentionally worked a bit outside my usual process. I learned new things about myself, about what moves me, about how important research can be to simply setting the right mindset/mood for the author, about pacing and character development.

I hope you enjoy SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN if you check it out later this month.
