The Winkler Case - Book 1 of the Elliot Blake Novels
In 1940's Chicago, desire and deception walk hand in hand...
When insurance salesman Elliot Blake knocks on fight promoter Walt Winkler's door, he never expects to be greeted by Vito—a handsome boxer whose smoldering gaze suggests he wants something far more personal than car insurance. What begins as a routine sales call quickly spirals into a web of forbidden attraction and hidden motives. In this captivating gay historical noir, obsessive desire unfolds in unexpected directions, challenging everything Elliot thought he knew about himself and the complex game he's stepped into. Inspired by the classic film noir Double Indemnity, this thrilling reimagining takes readers through an investigation where nothing is as it seems—and no one can be trusted. But don't expect a simple remake. The final twist will leave you breathless. "Colorfully narrated, with spot-on period touches and subtle humor, this intriguing reimagining of Double Indemnity captivates with interesting characters." —Kindle Nation Daily Listen to all of Chapter 1 (10:16) of The Winkler Case for free:

The Shadow's Voice - Book 2 of the Elliot Blake Novels
**When a radio star's suspicious death meets a sharp-eyed investigator with secrets of his own...**
In book two of the Elliot Blake series, Elliot's promotion to Head of Claims lands him in the middle of a high-profile case that will test more than just his professional skills.
The year is 1948, and Leonard Lehnert—beloved star of the popular radio drama "The Shadow's Voice"—is dead. His widow claims it was a tragic boating accident, but something doesn't add up for Elliot. As he peels back layers of Lehnert's carefully constructed public image, Elliot discovers the radio star harbored secrets that powerful people want kept silent.
With pressure mounting from both his superiors and forces he doesn't yet understand, Elliot must navigate a maze of lies, old wounds, and forbidden desires that mirror his own carefully guarded life. In post-war America, some truths are more dangerous than others—and Elliot's determination to find justice might just cost him everything.
