I've been working on Book two of the Nexus spin-off series about Pete "The Handyman" Longfellow. In book one- https://bookapy.com/s/1144/the-handyman-book-1-cheerleaders-delight. You'll remember that he goes back to school to protect a Senator's daughter. In book two he gets a frantic late-night call from his first love 'Beth'. They parted under bad terms, but she's in danger! This story has a bit of everything including action, tech and some steamy romance.

It should be available on Bookapy in a few weeks in the meantime if you haven't already, check out the main Nexus series:

Hi all! Last week I released a short story "Buttercup" that isn't my usual writing. I've been really surprised at how well it's been received and I'd like to thank all of you that have read it so far. It's a sweet story, that I hope reminds us all that there are service members out there who may seem fine on the surface but still need our support and respect.

Last week I was finally able to get my latest story in the Nexus Interludes series out- Devil in a BLue Dress. This story started out when I couldn't get that old song out of my head. Later that night I dreamed of a beautiful but forlorn demoness in a threadbare blue dress sitting on Ben's porch weeping. She pretty much told her own story about how she became a part of the Nexus and what Ben and the girls thought of her.

You can read it here: Nexus Interludes- Devil in a Blue Dress For more info and images of this character as well as the entire Nexus Universe please visit my Ko-Fi page at https://ko-fi.com/cesavage

Thanks and Happy Reading!

I decided to do something different and a little spicier than my current Nexus series, but in the same universe. In fact you might recognize a few of the characters and references. This series will be more in the typical thriller/suspense genre with less of the supernatural but with a lot more sexy times.

The new main character-Pete Longfellow is more of an ordinary guy and a lot less of a Boyscout than Ben. Pretty much the only thing he can't resist is temptation and that is provided amply by Lexi, who he is assigned to protect. I'm planning on at least 3 stories and possibly more if well received. FYI Lexi may make some appearances in later books as well!

I hope you all will like Pete and enjoy reading about his 'Everyman' escapades. You can view more Nexus content, including pics and sneak peeks on my Kofi page at https:// Ko-fi.com/cesavage

Thanks and happy reading!

The Nexus women had finally had enough.

Lanie practically had to skip to keep up as they burst out of the vehicles and headed toward the front door of the old brick County Safety building. She hoped that her team got in place before things got really out of hand. Not that she gave two shits about the entire sleazy Sheriff's department but she didn’t want any collateral damage.

She’d never seen calm, level-headed Kelly so pissed off and she hoped to never again. Sarah was a wrecking ball disguised as a kitten, but she forgave quickly. Maria was an absolute sweetheart who wouldn’t hurt a fly but would take the entire world head-on if you threatened her family. Mei was the ocean- placid on the surface but you would never find the bodies. Lizzie didn’t get mad so much as she got even. But Kelly- Kelly was a momma grizzly bear with a long memory and no mercy whatsoever when she was riled.

They flung the double doors open and strode nearly in line to the duty counter with Lanie trailing slightly behind. She quietly shifted off to one side for a better viewpoint. She was a little terrified of what was about to happen but she wasn’t going to miss a second of it.

The female deputy behind the desk opened her mouth to say something then saw the looks on five faces. She turned white, gulped once, and fled to the back to fetch her boss.

A few seconds later a smug Sheriff Strickland sauntered out into the lobby accompanied by two deputies and Lennie.

“So what can I do for you girls this morning?” Strickland smirked.

“We’re here to get Ben Clarkson. You have one chance to bring him out immediately,” said Kelly struggling for composure.

“What she said Gnomeo. You have completed the “Fuck Around” phase of the program and are about to enter the “Find Out” zone,” added Sarah with an evil grin.

The others were quiet but Mei was fingering her ring and Lizzie held a small tablet at the ready.

The Sheriff snapped his fingers. “Wait a minute, I’ve been trying to remember where I know you from,” he said looking directly at Kelly. “Yeah, I remember now it was a few years ago. You were trying to pin your slutty behavior on the Senator's son! Wow doesn’t look like you’ve changed much.”

For a moment the world stood still and the air inside the building felt thick and somehow blue. Then a glow sprang up around Sarah’s neck where her tiger's claw pendant hung. It got so bright that for an instant it was impossible to look at directly.

“You shouldn’t augh’ta said that idiot boy, you might have had a chance at mercy,” said Maria into the sudden silence.

There was a snapping roar as air was slapped rudely out of the way to make room for a twelve-foot-tall Bengal tiger where Sarah had stood moments before. The beast let out a roar that rattled every window in the 3 story building and sprayed hot spittle across the Sheriff and his entourage.

Two of them fainted dead away and the sheriff wobbled backward on legs suddenly made of ramen noodles as steaming hot piss streamed down his leg. Lennie was just too stupid to understand what he was seeing and stood there with a wondering expression and a pint of feline spit on his face.

Lanie could see massive muscles bunch in the impossibly sized form in preparation for a leap when Kelly held up her hand- restraining the giant cat.

“ Aw dammit, Kels you spoil all my good times. C’mon. Let me shred ‘em into little bite-sized bits. It will be so much fun!” said the tiger in a low rumbly growling voice that somehow sounded like Sarah but vibrated like thundering earth.
