Jamie Craig - Writing on the Edge of Erotic Romance

 

Welcome!

Passionate, intimate relationships between two people can take place in any setting, time, or universe a writer can imagine. Immersing readers in another world and making them feel emotions along with the characters is the writer's job. Enter here to encounter love in all its dramatic, angst-ridden, humorous, or sizzlingly sexual glory.

Whether you're a fan of contemporary, paranormal, or historical romance, you'll find something to enjoy. My style is very personal and my characters will feel like well-known friends by the time you've finished reading. I'm interested in flawed, often damaged, people who find the fulfillment they seek in one another.

jungle heat

In the heat of the jungle, two men from worlds apart find common ground.

Oxford anthropologist James Litchfield is on an expedition in the Congo when he’s attacked by a panther and rescued by a naked man who bursts from the wilderness like an avenging angel. James learns the local legend of the ape-man who wanders with the mountain gorillas and determines to encounter him again.

After slowly cajoling the wild man to trust him, James bestows the name Michael on his savior. As he learns to communicate with the jungle man and teaches him about his own kind, James fights a deep attraction. He’s certain Michael’s apparent reciprocation of his desire is only because James is the first human of either sex he’s ever encountered. For his part, Michael is overwhelmed by the new world opening before him and the man who arouses a powerful mating instinct in him.

Complications bring Michael into disastrous contact with the rest of the expedition. While James suffers from malarial fever, Michael is caged. Soon both are on board a steamer back to England. It is there that their long suppressed desires break free and they come together with passionate frenzy and startling intimacy. Despite Michael’s limited speech, the two men are able to communicate and bond on a deep level.

But will they be able to sustain this relationship when the pressures of society tear them apart? And after years of isolation, can Michael find his place in the world of men?

The end of the world is only the beginning.

Zombies are on the loose and the world is falling apart. In the tradition of apocalyptic novels such as Stephen King’s THE STAND, a group of strangers on a Manhattan subway are brought together in the name of survival. The group follows the lead of Ari Brenner, a young man who doesn’t recognize his own leadership qualities and believes they follow him simply because he wears an army uniform. Lila Teske, a college student studying philosophy, finds her non-violent beliefs tested in the crucible of a zombie attack. There are other members of the diverse group, but the focus of the story is on Ari and Lila, two young people who learn about sacrifice and inner strength through the ordeal.

With the city’s infrastructure down and communication with the outside world curtailed the survivors head toward the nearest marina. When they meet a lab tech who may have a solution to the virus, they know his safety is paramount and it’s more important than ever that they get off the island. But zombies aren’t the only danger that impedes them on their perilous journey.
