Spring, 2012

The steampunk world of The Ether Chronicles was launched recently by my wife, Zoë Archer’s SKIES OF FIRE and people have been caught up in the adventure and romance. They’re already looking for more. Luckily my Western set in the same world, NIGHT OF FIRE, is just a couple of months away. And it has a cover! Check it out up top and go to the Ether Chronicles page for more info. The story is a hell of a ride, steampunk technology, deadly villains, strong hero and heroine, and superhot romance.

Meanwhile there are plenty of other projects in the works. Some continue their series, and some are brand new. More information to follow.

Winter Pt. III, 2012

The apocalypse is finally upon us with the release of THE LAST NIGHT. I’m very exited to have this story out and hope you all enjoy your time on the Burning Earth.  Click HERE for more info and an excerpt.

I’m deep into my first steampunk western for Avon and edits have been going great for the superhero romance coming later in spring.  And all the while Zoë and I’ve been gearing up for this year’s RT Convention in Chicago.  Looking forward to seeing you there.  In the meantime, I have a lot of work to do.

Winter Pt. II, 2012

We’re about a month away from THE LAST NIGHT and I’m very excited to set the world on fire.  What better place than the apocalypse for two people to really test their ability to fight for what they truly want?

And as you can see from the new icons at the top of the page, there are exciting things coming.  My Heroes Guild superhero romance for Entangled is set for Spring, but I’m also working on two steampunk Westerns for Avon Impulse.  These are part of the Ether Chronicles, a world created by me and my wife, Zoë Archer.  She’ll be writing the European side of the steampunk tales while I’m handling the West.  It’s very exciting working on these projects with Zoë, just imagine us leaping about the apartment, enacting scenes on battling airships.

Winter, 2011

It’s been great hearing people’s responses to THE LIMIT OF DESIRE.  If you like plenty of action to go along with your romance, then this is the piece for you.

In very exciting news, not only will my first post-apocalyptic romance be coming from Carina Press in February, but in the spring I have a story included in Entangled Publishing’s superhero romance anthology.  Talk about plenty of action.  Stay tuned to this channel for updates.

And I hope you’re enjoying the four months of Nico Rosso/Zoë Archer book releases. November: my THE LIMIT OF DESIRE.  December: Zoë’s DEVIL’S KISS.  January: Zoë’s CHAIN REACTION. February: my THE LAST NIGHT.  Plenty of sizzle to keep the winter fires burning.

Fall, 2011

As you can see from the cover to the left, THE LIMIT OF DESIRE is soon approaching its release date.  November 7th, we find out that Veterans’ Day isn’t just a holiday in the U.S.A., planet Earth.  I hope everyone enjoys the mixture of romance and military sci-fi in this one.  Check out the Limit War page for more info and a link to Chapter One.

And starting with THE LIMIT OF DESIRE’s November release, we begin the four months of books from me and my wife, Zoë Archer.  December brings the first of her Hellraisers series: DEVIL’S KISS.  January, she has a sci-fi romance e-book CHAIN REACTION.  And February is the end of the world and a new beginning with my post-apocalyptic romance set on The Burning Earth.

Even though the weather’s turning cold, there will be plenty of hot reads to keep you warm.

Summer Part II, 2011

Just got back from lurking at the RWA National Conference in NYC.  It was a blast catching up with people and meeting new authors and pros from the industry.  I had some time to hit the city, so check out photobucket for my view of NYC (and see my lovely wife, Zoë Archer’s evening looks).

Good news for veterans of the Limit War.  My brand new Sci-fi Romance, THE LIMIT OF DESIRE, will be coming later this year from Liquid Silver books.  This time, we find ourselves in the trenches at the front line of the Limit War, where two soldiers, a woman and a man, reignite an old flame.  But even if they can surmount what stalled their previous affair, can they survive an all-out battle with the Dusk Warriors?

Hope everyone’s having a good summer so far.

Summer, 2011

Some have predicted the world will end in 2012 and I can say it’s true - kind of.  I’ve created an apocalypse and Carina Press will be publishing it.  THE LAST NIGHT is my Post-Apocalyptic romance set a few months after devastating changes to the world as we know it.  I’ll be posting more details and an excerpt soon.  Look for the story in early 2012.

Meanwhile, PUSHED TO THE LIMIT is available from more sources and there’s good news ahead for fans of the Limit War.

Enjoy the summer weather.

Spring Part II, 2011

PUSHED TO THE LIMIT is now available.  I’m looking forward to hearing what people have to say about the next story in the Limit War.  Click the link on the left to buy.  And the trailer is up on the VIDEO page, to give you a flavor of the adventure.  

I’ve also posted images of the TRADING CARDS I made for the two Limit War stories.  I’ll be lurking around RWA 2011 in New York, so if you spot me, say hi and ask for a card.

Spring, 2011:

The Limit War continues.  PUSHED TO THE LIMIT will be coming soon from Liquid Silver Books.  We have left Earth behind to discover a new story of adventure and romance on the planet Viela.  Check out THE LIMIT WAR page for more info and an excerpt.  

Meanwhile, I’ve been getting muddy in the Limit War trenches, writing the next tale of heroism and romance.  I’m thrilled to bring this one to you and will give more details when I can.

So stay tuned for the PUSHED TO THE LIMIT release date, other Limit War information as well as more exciting news in the works.  

Here’s hoping there’s spring weather to enjoy.

Winter Part II, 2011:

TAKEN TO THE LIMIT has been out for a few months now and the response has been great.  I’ve heard from a lot of readers who really enjoyed being swept up into the Limit War.  RT Book Reviews even gave the story 4 1/2 Stars!  You can read the review HERE.  They also interviewed me for their online magazine HERE.  

Another installment of the Limit War is in the works and I’ll give more news when I have it.  In the meantime, to get your Sci-Fi Romance fix, check out my wife, Zoë Archer’s e-book COLLISION COURSE, set to come out April 2011 from Carina Press.    

The Limit War rages on and there are many stories to tell.  Stay tuned for updates.  And keep watch for The Dusk.

Winter 2010:

Hello and welcome to the launch of my website.  As you can tell from the image to the left, this website’s appearance coincides with the release of my Sci-fi Romance TAKEN TO THE LIMIT from Liquid Silver Books.  The story was a ton of fun to write: from the creation of the Limit War and its major players, to the central characters of Korina and Morrow.  I hope you enjoy the people and the world.  

Every step of the process with Liquid Silver Books has been great.  It started with their request for a full manuscript and has gone all the way through the creation of the cover art.  I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive publisher or community.  

I’m deep into the next installment of the Limit War and look forward to exploring more of the stories around that conflict.  Check out my THE LIMIT WAR page for more details and an excerpt from TAKEN TO THE LIMIT.

And check out the BIO & CONTACT page for more information on me.  If that doesn’t answer all your questions, drop me a line and I’ll reply as soon as I’m back from the Limit War.
