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.

The Psychic and the Sleuth

Trusting a psychic flash might solve a mystery …and lead to love.

Inspector Robert Court should have felt a sense of justice when a rag-and-bones man went to the gallows for murdering his cousin. Yet something has never felt right about the investigation. Robert’s relentless quest for the truth has annoyed his superintendent, landing him lowly assignments such as foiling a false medium who’s fleecing the wives of the elite.

Oliver Marsh plays the confidence game of spiritualism, though his flashes of insight often offer his clients some comfort. Despite the presence of an attractive, if sneering, non-believer at a séance, he carries on—and experiences a horrifying psychic episode in which he experiences a murder as the victim.

There’s only one way for Court to learn if the young, dangerously attractive Marsh is his cousin’s killer or a real psychic: spend as much time with him as possible. Despite Court's resolve to focus on his job, Marsh somehow manages to weave a seductive spell around the inspector’s straight-laced heart.

Gradually, undeniable attraction overcomes caution. The two men are on the case, and on each other, as they race to stop a murderer before he kills again.

reviews

Book Review, Toni Sweeney, 5 stars
An erotic M/M and a great thriller besides. ... Court is a good counterpoint to the psychic and almost his opposite in personality, granite-like and self-contained, while Marsh is dramatic and sensitive to a fault. Each man has a full background, and there is equal concentration on their love for each other as well as the story. Even the villain gets his share of a back story. The sights, sounds, and smells of London are there in full force, and it all comes together in a gripping—and chilling—story of love and death, illicit passion and murder.

 

MY TOP PICKS

Parents can't choose favorites among their children--or they can but it's not very healthy for the kid. A writer is allowed to have personal favorites among the stories they've written and these are some of mine. As a reader, I love historicals and I really enjoy a pair of lovers having to overcome an obstacle of class, race or communication. These books contain some of each.

BONE DEEP is one of my first books. I was inspired by, of all things, Ralph Fiennes' full body tattoo in the movie Red Dragon. The hero's sense of isolation is heartbreaking, and it makes him finding love with the heroine all the sweeter. Ditto A HEARING HEART with its deaf protagonist in a time when handicapped persons were often treated like second class citizens.

The lovers in CAPTIVE BRIDE have to overcome huge barriers of language and culture yet they find common ground. In THE GENTLEMAN AND THE ROGUE, streetwise, sassy Jem is the perfect counterpart to a brooding nobleman. Honestly, Jem's about one of my favorite characters fashioned as he is on the Artful Dodger archetype.

These are my personal recs and I hope readers find satisfaction in these stories of hope and intimate connection.
