SMART ASS: CLOSE QUARTERS, available from MLR Press and elsewhere, features my first non-paranormal story, One Good Turn.
Summoned to his parents' estate, brash young Kendall Turner steels himself for yet another confrontation. He doesn't expect this level of betrayal, though. His parents play an explicit and humiliating video surreptitiously recorded by KT's ex-lover, who has taken up blackmail. KT is ordered to report to a psychiatric facility while his family scrambles to brush the dust back under the carpet.
He flees instead, accompanied by Turner Scott, heavily muscled star of his most personal fantasies. Only the flight turns into more of a kidnapping when Turn needs to buy time for his own mysterious activities.
When his ex turns up dead, then missing, then most definitely dead, Kendall feels a trap closing in--and all clues that don't point to him point to his protector, Turner Scott.
Gregg and Green are m/m fiction's newest dynamic duo. Smart Ass is frank, funny, and fresh."-- Josh Lanyon, author of the Adrien English mysteries.

Each book in the SMART ASS series is planned to have one Turner & Turner story and one story from LB Gregg's The Men of Smithfield. This book will have One Good Turn and Gobsmacked! Do check out The Smithfield Gazette.
On the other hand, if you want to pick up One Good Turn in ebook format, it's available now through the publisher (poke around the site at the link above) or at any of several other places, including MobiPocket and All Romance eBooks.
Coming in June 2009, from MLR Press, the Blood Lust anthology includes More Than Memories, a story of the living stones. Dick is an ass. Harry's anal. Obviously, they're made for one another. But scruples, and an unscrupulous vampire, come between them. What's a ghost with a geek-fetish to do?
My steampunk short story, The Rat-Kind appeared in the fall 2008 issue of The Willows. It's about the feral child Anna, the family that tames her, and the mad-eyed stranger who pedals into town offering salvation--at a price.
Bare is back without brother! The Huntsmen: BAREBACK brings the huntsmen into the 21st century, to the condo-cluttered, blood-drenched Florida landscape. Joe's life is perfect--except for the serial killers, the mysterious twins, and his new love being a guy...who needs sex to stay human.
Everyone knows Joe is a straight-up, straight cop standing fast in the moral heart of his beloved town. Brian's new in town. He's also a bareback, a jinx, an untwinned huntsman nobody in his right mind would rely on. When the dark side of the cops--vigilantes gone outlaw--joins with the monstrous dark side of the huntsmen, lovers must become brothers to strike at the heart of evil.
The Huntsmen: BACKTRACK takes place in 1984.
Remember 1984? Big hair? Commodore 64 and self-correcting typewriters? Huntsmen overwhelmed with the progeny of the freewheeling seventies?
Yeah, that 1984.
Three years ago, Sugar made the mistake of volunteering to testify against a drug lord, Glenn Digger. Now she's on the run, her kid is in foster care, and the guy she has the hots for is supposedly only seventeen. When she finally finds out Cassio is no overgrown teenager, she wants one bed-busting, rollicking screw before she moves on to the next anonymous city, the next fake name. Cassio comes in a double helping? Bring it on!
Fort is weighed down with responsibility. Only 22, he and his twin Cassio are raising six pairs of younger brothers, nephews, and cousins. As a huntsman, Fort needs good and frequent sex in order to maintain his humanity. He's not charming, though, so he leaves all that falling-in-love nonsense to his twin, Cassio. But this time Cassio falling in love has nothing to do with heartfelt sighs or bad poetry, and everything to do with finding out who this woman really is, and why she's using a false identity.
Sugar enchants Fort, makes him feel playful--but he can't afford to be a clown. When he learns Sugar's secret, he has to help. Because her young son isn't hidden any more; Digger has him.
Sugar knows that even if the twin detectives rescue her kid today, she will always be running, always be hiding, so long as Digger's alive. She's tired. She's scared. And she's damned tired of running scared. It's time she stopped running.
In a time of spies and saboteurs, the shadows hide something worse. The Huntsmen: LIGHTS OUT! is the story of Jack and Lorelei, and Tommy.
November, 1942: The world is at war, the horizons dark. Hydes once driven underground by electric light have reclaimed the blacked-out streets. Against them stand huntsmen Jack French and his twin, Tommy. Only half a step from becoming monsters themselves, the twins risk life and soul to protect the people of the daylight world.
After her mother joins the victims, Lorie joins the hunters. Jack and Tommy need her as a lure. More, feeding on her orgasmic energies might keep them from taking that fatal half-step into the darkness.
Lorie loves with the intensity of a wartime romance, but she knows the score -- she's a convenience for this mission, and the guys won't spare a thought for her once they move on. Jack grimly holds his affection at arm's length; the woman a huntsman loves is too likely to die screaming under him.
Under Jack's intimate tutelage, Lorie becomes a perfect feeder, and the consummate bait. But when a beloved face becomes a monster's face, will she have the grit to do what must be done?
One week Tyler's the hottest of game designers, signing the deal of her life and in sight of her first million. The next week, she's on the run for her life. Who can she trust? Certainly not Esau (don't-call-me-werewolf) Kirkland!
Long ago, crushed by the loss of his mate and children, Esau devoted his entire being to the welfare of his pack. But now he's found a woman who needs him fully alive, and fully alpha. Pack duty requires him to track her down and deliver her to her enemies. He can't. But to save her, he must give up everything he thought he had, and become more than he ever thought he could be.
Meanwhile, Tyler knows the rules have changed. The queen of electronic fantasy has become a pawn in a world of high-profit body parts. For right now, she needs a protector. But she's still The Tyler, and she reserves the right to turn the tables on them all.
Hawkmoor:
MA thought she was human. Darien thought MA would readily adapt to the shapeshifters' world. Lia thought she could be controlled.
They were all wrong.
Shapeshifters Darien Berenov and Mary Alison Hawkmoor were bonded to one another as small children. Then Mary Alison disappeared, an orphan in the human world, and grew up treating her full-moon "hallucinations" as mental illness. Darien took her place as Hawkmoor, growing up as a prince among the shapeshifters and using the Hawkmoor name to keep the peace.
When Mary Alison surfaces, Darien’s authority reverts to her. Exploiting the erotic aspects of their awakened bond, he seeks to form a union of souls and to resume his rule in her name. Battered and betrayed, Mary Alison defies him. War explodes around them as shifter Families vie for territory and position. With people dying and the moon swelling toward full, Darien chooses among ugly options: He must bring his mate under control, or he must sacrifice her for the sake of peace.
Watch for it! I have two new realities to write in: the world of the living stones, where the perceptive can hear magic, and the more prosaic but still passionate world where one good Turner deserves another.
Miscellaneous factoids: I am not the Amber Green on MySpace, the one on FaceBook, the one who keeps horses, the athlete, or any of ones with small children.
I am, however, the Amber Green with a recipe or two in The Write Ingredients. Proceeds of the sale of this book go to comfort items for our troops.
THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING ORGANIZED? Here's one: You can find my pictures cleverly hidden under the DISCUSSION button! Sigh...
