THE MEN OF LONDON From Charing Cross to Waterloo, there’s no escaping love.
SEEING THROUGH…
28-year-old Draven Samuels has a tragic past, but as an investigator with a high-profile London company he now gets what he wants. Tough, sarcastic, and sceptical, he has no patience for lies and even less for people who waste his time. Even if they’re as beautiful as the wild and dark-haired Taylor Abelard. Especially when they’re talking over the body of a murder victim.
THE DARKNESS
Psychic Taylor Abelard is used to people calling him a freak. He can see past events and feel the ghostly vibrations of people close to him who’ve passed on. It’s why he doesn’t get too close to the living. But this time, against his better judgment, despite Draven’s mocking rejoinders, Taylor will get closer than ever before. The mystery surrounding a dead friend will lead the two men down a dark and seedy trail of blackmail and lies. Add in the heartbreak of a family tragedy, and events lead them straight into each other’s arms. By the end of this night, all their demons will have risen—and been banished with the dawn.

This is the second in The Men of London series, how do the characters connect?
In Love You Senseless, the reader meets Eddie and Gideon, both working at Gideon’s restaurant, called Galileo’s, in the centre of London. Eddie has two crazy housemates -Leslie and Taylor. Of course, these three mates share everything and are the best of friends. So while Eddie gets his man in book 1, I thought it would be nice for Taylor to find his significant other in Sight and Sinners, book 2 in the series. And of course, I can’t leave Leslie out there on his own, he’s really trying to find a man to keep him as he can be a bit over whelming, so book 3, called Suit Yourself, will feature him finding his one true love J
If you could have a psychic ability, what would you choose?
I’ve always wanted the gift of clairvoyance, or second sight ,the ability to see the future and actually predict what’s going to happen. I loved the Stephen King series ‘The Dead Zone’ and I always wanted to be Johnny Smith. It’s fascinating to think this might exist somewhere.
Can you tell us what you have planned for the next book in the series?
There are plenty of characters you’ll meet along the way who will have their own books. Clay Mortimer, Draven’s boss will be sorely tested with his relationship with his damaged lover, Tate Williams.
Laverne Debussy-Smith aka Lenny James, cross dresser and sought after fashion designer, will get his man when Brook Martins comes onto the scene. It will be a bit of a struggle though. Laverne can be a little distracting to Brook.
And Maxwell Lewis, the high flying air steward man who said he’d never settle down with one man- he’ll meet his match in the equally determined ‘ bang ‘em then leave ‘em’ Jackson Carter.
What authors inspire you?
Josh Lanyon, Harper Fox, Stephen King, Jonathan Kellerman, Phil Rickman, Rhys Ford…there are so many I couldn’t possibly mention them all. There are times when I think to myself ‘God, I wished I had written this book, it’s so damn good’ and then feel a little inadequate L Then I pick myself up, determined to simply troop on and write the best story I can.
What is a perfect date night for you?
I’d love to be surprised. It’s a sad fact in my household that if there’s an event, a dinner, a romantic getaway, then I’m probably the organiser. I’ve been married over 30 years, so I suppose I can’t start complaining now. My ideal date night would be coming home on a Friday night after work, being told to pack my bags, whisked off to the airport, flown to Paris or Venice for a wonderful, atmospheric weekend away, being spoilt, treated like a queen with good food, wine and lots of sight-seeing. That would be the ultimate in luxury for me.
EXCERPT – SIGHT AND SINNERS
The man Taylor was blowing definitely didn’t know how the hell to keep quiet. Taylor’s lips were wrapped around his dick, while above him a man stood, panting and moaning, turning the air blue with his curses. Taylor stopped what he was doing, causing the blowjob recipient to groan in dismay, and glared at the sweaty face above him.
“For Christ’s sake, Georgie, can you stop it with the fucking porn noises?” He glanced around him nervously. “This is where I work, damn it, and if anyone hears you they’ll come outside to see what all the fuss is about.”
Georgie’s wide eyes cast a quick glance around the deserted alleyway behind ‘Music Mayhem’ where Taylor was employed, then looked down at Taylor kneeling between his legs.
“Sorry, mate, it’s just that you’re so damn good at this and it’s been a while.”
Susan Mac Nicol is a self confessed bookaholic, an avid watcher of videos of sexy pole dancing men, self confessed geek and nerd and in love with her Smartphone. This little treasure is called ‘the boyfriend’ by her long suffering husband, who says if it vibrated, there’d be no need for him. Susan hasn’t had the heart to tell him there’s an app for that…
She is never happier than when sitting in the confines of her living room/study/on a cold station platform scribbling down words and making two men fall in love. She is a romantic at heart and believes that everything happens (for the most part) for a reason. She likes to think of herself as a ‘half full’ kinda gal, although sometimes that philosophy is sorely tested.
Lover of walks in the forest, theatre productions, dabbling her toes in the cold North Sea and the vibrant city of London where you can experience all four seasons in a day , she is a hater of pantomime (so please don’t tar and feather her), duplicitous people, bigotry and self righteous idiots.
In an ideal world, Susan Mac Nicol would be Queen of England and banish all the bad people to the Never Never Lands of Wherever -Who Cares. As that’s never going to happen, she contents herself with writing her HEA stories and pretending, that just for a little while, good things happen to good people.
