Blurb(s): When
Queensland Police Force Constable James Laramee raids a hotel room, he finds
Vinnie Canterbury on top of a naked, dead man, covered in blood. Vinnie
promptly vomits all over James’s shoes.
Thanks to a cocktail of horse sedatives and Hendra vaccine, Vinnie’s memories of his ordeal are fractured. Finding the culprits and the reasons behind his abduction will be a challenge. With his apartment trashed, his building set on fire, and his clothes, phone and wallet gone, Vinnie needs a place to stay. To his surprise, James not only takes him in, but also lets him cry on his shoulder. It must be true love. Vinnie has plans for his future with James all mapped out, and he hopes he can get James on the same page.

Excerpt: His bed was stripped to the
mattress. The shredded mattress. Foam stuffing bubbled up between the slashes
like pus weeping from an infected wound. He tore his attention from the bed to
find his sheets and duvet scattered all over the floor. In pieces. He
whimpered.
“I just bought that set.” He pressed
his fingers against his lips. Even in his shock he recognized the inanity of
his comment. His gaze was drawn to the freestanding full-length mirror beside
the windows. Black writing marred the polished surface.
NEXT TIME DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD FAG OR
THE SAME WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
He turned to see Laramee beside him,
his hand again clamped on Vinnie’s arm. “What was I told?” he whispered. “I
don’t know what I was told.”
It was too much. He flung himself at
Laramee, buried his face in the warm, slightly harsh fabric of his uniform,
ignored the button digging into his forehead, and burst into tears.
“I don’t even know your name. I
can’t sob all over you if I don’t know your name,” he wailed.

Book Name: Ordinary People
Author Name: E E Montgomery
Author Bio: E E
Montgomery wants the world to be a better place, with equality and acceptance
for all. Her philosophy is: We can’t change the world but we can change our
small part of it and, in that way, influence the whole. Writing stories that
show people finding their own ‘better place’ is part of E E Montgomery’s own
small contribution.
Thankfully, there’s never a shortage of inspiration for
stories that show people growing in their acceptance and love of themselves and
others. A dedicated people-watcher, E E finds stories everywhere. In a cafe, a
cemetery, a book on space exploration or on the news, there’ll be a story of
personal growth, love, and unconditional acceptance there somewhere.
