Life's a one way street; you can't turn back and there's no reverse gear

Shane Davis is an Australian Rules footballer, at the top of his game. It's cost him a lot to get there; sweat, pain, hard work, and the loss of his lover, Dale. Then things go wrong, and when Shane's life falls apart, it's Dale who takes care of him.

Shane and Dale's relationship has never been easy, though, with a dark and obsessive edge to it that scares Shane. It will take time, healing and trust for Shane and Dale to find their way back to each other.

February 19, 2007: New Novel in the Works

Torquere have just accepted Laney's 2006 Nano novel, for the Turn of the Screw line.

It's provisionally called Flightpath, and here's the blurb:

In an Australian city teetering on the edge of war, ex-serviceman Dan does what he can to shelter displaced children, caring for them until the Red Cross can evacuate them. He's got his hands full with a baby girl when Sid turns up on his doorstep to reclaim the child. Sid's filthy and charming, and totally unable to care for an infant, but before Dan can teach Sid what he needs to know, hostilities escalate, and the three of them have to flee the city in Dan's stolen vehicle.

Their desperate flight across the Nullarbor is endangered further because Sid hasn't been truthful with Dan. He has unusual abilities, useful for helping them evade the military, but costing dearly. Someone is chasing Sid, too, drawn by his abilities. After a nightime firefight in the desert, with their vehicle wrecked, Sid, Dan and the baby have to seek assistance from Dan's former battalion, leading them into close contact with people who would like to harness Sid's abilities for their own purposes. It's going to take more than luck to get the three of them to safety.

5 August 2006

Welcome to laneycairo.com! The intention is that this website will be a source of information about my erotic romance novels, a place where you can drop in and find out what's being published when and where, and what I'm writing at the moment. What will actually happen is that I will become drunk with power at having a blog of my own, and will rant at you all at great length about anything that happens to take my fancy. Hopefully some of that will be about my writing.

Torquere Press have bought several pieces from me recently, and if you drop by the Releases section of this site, you can check the publication dates and blurbs from these stories. There's a bio of me here, and if you look in the Exclusives section, there's some free short fiction of mine. I'll be putting up special items, like deleted scenes from my novels, there too.
