I talk about Tharros, the sequel to Omorphi, and.... See you there!

Thárros. Greek. Meaning courage
Courage. n. /ˈkərij/
1. The ability to do something that frightens one.
2. Strength in the face of fear, pain, or grief.


High school senior Michael Sattler leads a charmed life. He’s a star athlete, has great friends, and parents who love him just the way he is. Michael meets Christy Castle at school and his life has changed in ways he never imagined. Christy is Michael’s dream guy: smart, pretty, and sexy. But nothing prepared Michael for what being Christy's boyfriend would entail.

Christy needs to heal after years of abuse and knows he needs help to do it. He’s left his native Greece and settled in upstate New York. Alone, afraid, and left without a voice, Christy hides the myriad scars of his abuse. He desperately wants to be loved and when he meets Michael, he knows that day has arrived. Michael has saved him from a past abuser who kidnapped him, yet his past continues to haunt them in perilous ways. When the prosecution of Yosef Sanna begins, threats move from theory to reality and only Michael and Christy's combined strength and determination can save them from the very real danger that threatens to destroy their future together.Read an excerpt of Tharros.
