Science Fiction

Date Published: 10-08-2022

Publisher: The Chapel Perilous

 

 

Bevil Cyrex, adrift in space on a ship determined to kill him, stumbles across an ancient and abandoned space station called The Starlite.

Once on board the station he sets about repairing it, with the goal of opening up for business.

Along the way he befriends a possibly sociopathic, all powerful nanite swarm, who has decided to take on the appearance and mannerisms of his grandmother.

He must also contend with being hunted by an ex-mob enforcer looking for revenge, a handful of pirates and various threats of invasion, marriage and death.

All in all, Bevil would have to admit, things were really looking up.

  About the Author

I truly enjoy writing and it really never feels like work. Okay, mostly never feels like work.

Folks who have read my books have said they are definitely filled with words. These words are used in a very clever way to form sentences, which then form paragraphs until a page is just jammed packed with them. I do this repeatedly throughout my novels.

I am a lifelong lover of comic books, video games, science fiction and fantasy. My favorite authors include Robert Heinlein, William Gibson and Mark Twain.

Once the technology is perfected, I hope to own a robotic chimpanzee that will accompany me on many adventures. We will travel the globe solving crime, eating pie and saving the day.

I think it's safe to assume that we're gonna look pretty cool doing that.

An obscure rock'n'roll roadie dies under mysterious circumstances. His prized Jimi Hendrix guitar has gone missing. Can Rolly Waters save his new client from the ruthless collectors looking for it?

But Gerry Rhodes’s reckless personal history leads to more questions than Rolly and Lucinda have bargained for, as an aging rock’n’roll impresario, his trophy wife, a Russian gangster and the FBI get involved. When a forty-year-old shooting accident reveals a surprising connection to a pop star’s hit record, Rolly sees darker forces at work. And his and Lucinda’s lives hang in the balance.

Week Blitz: Scandalizing the Scoundrel by Charlie Lane

 

 

Wicked Widows, Book 9

 

Regency Romance

Date Published: 05-09-2023

 

 

In this sizzling Regency romance novella by USA Today Bestselling author Charlie Lane, opposites attract as a shy widow and the scoundrel who loves her discover that passion is just the beginning and sometimes an affair isn’t nearly enough.

 

A shy widow and a notorious scoundrel. She wants an affair, but he wants her heart.

 

Lady Fredericka has been quiet too long. She’s ready to step out of the shadows of widowhood and into the spotlight of pleasure. Without risking her heart. Circus star and equestrian Grant Webster offers the delectable solution. Strong, handsome, and a flirtatious scoundrel, he’ll warm her bed without asking for more. After all, a man like him would never seriously desire a quiet widow like her.

 

Grant has always commanded the adoration of the ladies. But since meeting the quietly lovely Lady Fredericka, he only wants her. When she suggests an affair, he’s tempted … but refuses. His heart is too involved to give her the steamy flirtation she desires.

 

But Lady Fredericka won’t give up.

And Grant can only be tempted so far.

 

When he finally gives in to passion, he becomes the seducer, tempting her to risk the pain of loss for a home of the heart with a man who loves her.

 

A spin-off of the Cavendish Family series, this Wicked Widows novella is a low-angst stand-alone with plenty of laughs and heat.

Officially, Charlie has a Ph.D. in literature with a focus on the nineteenth-century novel and children’s literature and answers to Professor.
