Ghost 

Fire Lake Book 9

by M. Tasia

Genre: M/M LGBTQ Contemporary Military Romance 

The Thrilling Last Story in the Fire Lake Series

THE INVISIBLE MAN

A cop down to his bones, Detective Ray Sommers has seen it all, and knows how to trust his instincts.

While visiting an old friend, he finds what he knows with what he sees colliding right in front of his eyes. A man has appeared from out of nowhere. Literally. And in more ways than one, Ray’s visit has gotten way more complicated.

Darren, aka Ghost, ran from his traumatic past taking with him some unbelievable secrets. But now he’s found a family where he’s been accepted for the first time in his life.

Ray and Darren’s initial encounter might’ve been a bit unorthodox, but interest sparks and their attraction is undeniable.

Ghost and his Fire Lake family are targeted by a powerful and ruthless man, and they fight back with every weapon they have—of which Ghost is one.

Now that he’s found someone who genuinely sees him, he’s not sure he’ll live long enough to enjoy him.

Dark Fairytale Trilogy Book Tour

Tay’s best friend, Cale always told him fairy-tales were dark, but they all have happy endings, right?

Willow’s Way 

Dark Fairytale Book 1 

by Cheryl Headford 

Genre: LGBTQ YA Epic Fantasy 

Cale always told Tay that fairy tales were dark. But they always have happy endings, right?

Taylor Preston is a normal sixteen-year-old whose biggest worries are his GCSE exams. He’s right in the middle of them, but he has a summer of fun with his parents to look forward to after. Or not.

Despite their promise to spend the summer focusing on their one and only son, Tay’s parents, Local Authority specialist foster carers, take on one more special case.

Willow’s arrival throws more than Tay’s summer into chaos. Suddenly, his best friend is possessed by a demon, his parents aren’t his parents after all, and he’s literally living a nightmare in a fairy tale world that as dark as anything Cale ever warned him about.

All he has is Willow and a burning desire to save his friend before he succumbs to the demon and Willow kills him.

Godric’s Gift 

Dark Fairytale Book 3 

Tay had thought that fighting demons was the hardest thing he’d have to do, but what came after was so much harder.

No one thought Tay was ready to face his possessed brother and the demon army at his back, and that included Tay himself. Gray, however, thought different and, as usual, Gray got his way. But if Tay thought the demons were the hardest thing he’d have to face, he would soon find himself dead wrong.

From determining ownership of the land formerly occupied by the demons to a world that had been without a High King for so long they weren’t sure they needed one, every day brought new problems, and then there was the magic that was not so slowly leaking out of the world. Tay’s life got more complicated every day.

When Gray stepped up with the answers, it only made things a whole lot worse.

About the Author 

Cheryl was born into a poor mining family in the South Wales Valleys. Until she was 16, the toilet was at the bottom of the garden and the bath hung on the wall.

Her refrigerator was a stone slab in the pantry and there was a black lead fireplace in the kitchen. They look lovely in a museum but aren’t so much fun to clean.

Cheryl has always been a storyteller. As a child, she’d make up stories for her nieces, nephews and cousin and they’d explore the imaginary worlds she created, in play.

Later in life, Cheryl became the storyteller for a re enactment group who travelled widely, giving a taste of life in the Iron Age.

As well as having an opportunity to run around hitting people with a sword, she had an opportunity to tell stories of all kinds, sometimes of her own making, to all kinds of people.

The criticism was sometimes harsh, especially from the children, but the reward enormous.

It was here she began to appreciate the power of stories and the primal need to hear them.

In ancient times, the wandering bard was the only source of news, and the storyteller the heart of the village, keeping the lore and the magic alive.

Although much of the magic has been lost, the stories still provide a link to the part of us that still wants to believe that it’s still there, somewhere.

In present times, Cheryl lives in a terraced house in the valleys with her son, dog, bearded dragon and three cats.

Her daughter has deserted her for the big city, but they’re still close. She’s never been happier since she was made redundant and is able to devote herself entirely to her twin loves of writing and art, with a healthy smattering of magic and mayhem.

BRAVEHEART 

Faithful mothers pray for blessings and protection

over the steps of their beloved sons

*

At four, little toes painted red, he dons her wig and

time stops—

She stands,

a sentinel at his doorway, her eyes aglow with quiet alarm.

Laughter escapes him, and her prayers flow,

“My child, oh Lord, please God, protect my queer child.”

Each year, her love fortifies him against a world so callous—

A world at battle with his every step, his every breath, his every kiss.

She casts prayers over his sleeping body,

A mother’s vow

to shield,

to wrap his spirit against the venom of bitter tongues,

ready to take bullets aimed at him.

Her faith, a lighthouse amid ferocious storms; 

Her deeds, steeped in the words of Christ, 

Guiding him through tempests, 

imbuing him with grace and self-advocacy.

*

Twelve years shine, he kisses a girl — a burst of youthful fire,

“Treat her like a queen, my brave boy,”

“She, like you, is a masterpiece.”

“Why do I still like boys?” he asks, 

his heart tangled in distress.

“Because you see beauty everywhere,” she soothes,

“Since you were four, you’ve known color…”

Though days may darken and shadows lengthen, 

her faith remains his anchor.

“Your mama’s joy—let it flow,

For anger and violence are born in silence and darkness.”

*

Crafted by his mother’s devotion, a warrior is formed,

Forged from love, buoyed by prayer, tempered in battle.

With liberation as his birthright,

he strides forth as a man made of starlight—

a protector, a healer…

a Braveheart,

carved through the trials and triumph of the Borderland.
