When Peter Brandon, a young and gifted artist, awakes from a coma after 3 years, he learns that his lover Phillip was brutally murdered - and no one brought to justice for the crime.

With the help of Andrew Connor, his physical therapist, he slowly regains his strength, but it is not until he visits Phillips graveside and receives an affirmation that his dead lover is somehow guiding him to the truth, that he feels the need to go on with his life.

Through mutual friends, he meets Jeff Stevens, an ex-cop now a private investigator. They discover that Phillip was not the victim of a random gay bashing, but of a deliberate act to silence him.  Together they unravel a web of lies, deceit and a friend’s treachery.  During their investigation, Peter and Jeff find a growing attraction for each other – a situation that is thrown into jeopardy when they are finally face to face with Phillip’s killer.

 

 

A Portrait of Olivia

The old axiom of “what you see is what you get” cannot be said to apply to Olivia Winters, the seemingly gracious and vivacious daytime television host whom Peter Brandon is commissioned to paint after he and his partner, Jeff Stevens, appear on her popular show.

Peter quickly discovers that beneath that veneer of warmth and sophistication is a bitter and vindictive woman – with an ego even bigger than the Beverly Hills penthouse she owns. Her perfect world, however, starts to unravel when she receives threatening letters from a religious fanatic, and when her blackmailing ex-boyfriend attempts to reenter her life.

After she is physically assaulted by a guest on her show, Olivia attempts to benefit from the resulting media frenzy, but a murder and a suicide deflate her plans. She turns her fury on those around her, but is silenced when confronted by a vengeful killer – with only Peter’s erratic psychic ability to prevent another murder.

A Portrait of Olivia – the fifth in the Portrait series – is another page-turning mix of mystery, thrills, chills and the complexity of love and friendship.

Determined to find him, Peter reaches out to his deceased lover, Phillip, through the unbreakable psychic bond that still exists between them.

Traumatized into unconsciousness, he dreams and remembers the life-defining relationship he had with Phillip and the subsequent events that took him almost to the point of death—and back. On waking, and with the certain knowledge that Phillip will aid him in his search, he and his close friends Andrew and David, set out to find Jeff.
