Showtime Rendezvous
Book One

Devon eyed me with a rueful smile. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say you were doing the ol’ spill wine on my shirt so I’d have to take it off trick.” 

The last place Kristin wanted to land her first accounting job was a theater.
The last person she expected to see there was her first heartbreak, Devon Dashner.

A gallon of hair dye and a decade of practicality are enough to disguise her identity, but Devon’s boyish personality and constantly shirtless body has Kristin wanting to work his payroll between the spreadsheets all over again. 

Torn between rejection and her desire to avoid living out of a cardboard box, Kristin sets out to do her job and keep her identity, and her libido quiet. Except there’s a problem. In a theater filled with costume parties, lavish libations, and the occasional unwitting voyeurism, keeping her secret won’t be easy.

Life couldn’t be better—not until an eccentric duo shows up with an act hot enough to scorch Fran’s perspective.

Determined to prove her worth to everyone in the theater, Fran finds herself tied up in the new act. Silk bonds and blindfolds have her logic receding and libido roaring, but Peter is nowhere to be found. Fran needs a hero but even the almighty Thor would have trouble rescuing her from this mess. If Fran can’t triumph over her ego turned supervillain, her pride may consume more than her career.

Bared Secret
Book Three

Kristin fills her time at the Plaisir De Rouge with accounting formulas, crazy friends and a perpetually shirtless boyfriend, hot enough to melt chocolate with his smile. 

Now, secrets have been unearthed in the depths of the theater’s basement revealing crime, passion and a few fainthearted friends. To top it off, her boyfriend, Devon has dropped a grenade on their relationship that has her questioning more emotions than a Lifetime Movie. 

Add to that a bit of drama with tumbling twins, a stale detective who seems more interested in Kristin than solving a century old mystery and the matriarchal theater owner Maddi being … well Maddi, and it’s enough to drive a girl to drink. Maybe a stiff one is just what Kristin needs to settle her ping-ponging emotions over her relationship with Devon and begin a whole new chapter at the Plaisir De Rouge.

Kristin, once again steps into the spotlight in this third book of the Curtain Call romantic comedy series. Bared Secret promises all the humor and heat found in Showtime Rendezvous and Stage Bound, plus a secret discovery that adds a dusty layer of mystery and intrigue.

Cover: “The Majestic 311” by Keith C. Blackmore

Cover reveal for the upcoming release from author Keith C. Blackmore, “The Majestic 311”.

Pre-order Now!

In the spring of 1903, the 311, known to locals as “The Majestic,” carried over a hundred passengers on board towards a tunnel mouth that would allow the thirteen-car locomotive to pass safely through the underbelly of the Canadian Rockies.

The tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train—and everyone on it—were never seen again.

Search parties scoured the tunnel length with torches, searching for clues as to the big engine’s fate. During that search, some of the men swore they heard a ghostly whistle echoing in the cold, Albertan dark. The only thing they found, however, was a lady’s hand fan with an Oriental design, spread wide like a butterfly’s wing.

In the winter of 1910, just after a snowy sundown, the Leland Baxter gang, a collection of cattle thieves, gunmen, and cutthroats, wait on horses before a tunnel exit. They wait for the 5409, which secretly carries a train car full of railway cash—wages destined for workers of the copper and gold mines of British Columbia.

A payroll they intend to rob

What they will discover, however, is that the approaching train isn’t the 5409. It’s the missing 311, the train only whispered about around dying campfires. A train that some believe still rides the iron rails, traveling to places no mortal should ever go, seeing things no one should ever see.

Those men will climb aboard the 311… and will soon realize two sinister truths about the train.

The 311 doesn’t ever stop.

And no one ever gets off.

A very weird western.

Approx 119,000 words. Contains violence, coarse language, and some elements of horror.

When a mysterious man with magical powers saves her from an otherworldly attack, Edie gets more excitement than she bargained for. Turns out, she and Marius are on opposite sides of an apocalyptic battle between the forces of good and evil—and he wants her dead. 

To make matters worse, a gun-toting zombie shows up in Edie’s living room—an undead servant inherited from her father. And he’s not all she inherited. Edie can raise the dead, a power that places her squarely on the side of evil. The only way to change that destiny is to assemble a team of supernatural warriors, revive an ancient faction, and stop the oncoming war.

If Edie screws up, it could literally mean the end of not just the world, but everyone she loves. And this time, everything will stay dead.
