Can We Love More Than One Person?
Juan Diego has loved Nicholas for a lot longer than Nicholas has loved Oliver. At one time, Nicholas appreciated Juan Diego’s love, but today, Nicholas is solely focused on loving Oliver and hoping that Oliver will love him back. Can Nicholas endure the wake of violence Juan Diego leaves behind trying to get Nicholas to love him back? Maybe, but the real question is, can Oliver?
The twisted love triangle in The Shadow of Death continues the murderous love story of Nicholas and Oliver as they continue the struggles of defining their relationship. In the middle of it all is Juan Diego and a whole cast of characters who make it more and more difficult for Oliver and Nicholas to be together.
In the end, Oliver has to decide if he will be played or if he will play the game like Nicholas and Juan Diego do. Either way, Oliver will end up with blood on his hands and he needs to decide whether he likes blood on his hands or if he prefers to stay in the shadows. And just when Nicholas and Oliver think they finally have their relationship figured out, someone new appears and changes everything.

About the Author

This is me. I am John Paul.

I started writing short stories in college, writing endless articles for my school newspaper. Years later, with the birth of the Internet I started publishing my own blog. I always found a reason to write until I let life get in the way. My vault of unfinished novels grew over the years while I let corporate America keep me busy, then sat in a corner collecting dust.

Finally, after putting off a passion for long enough, I started setting aside time each week for my writing, once again. I am excited to be sharing my stories with you. While my topics are varied, and sometimes a little taboo, I write from the heart, and create adventure with every book.

Pick up one of my books, sit back, and let the journey of my characters engulf your surroundings. From the drama, to the romance, to the murder and even the sex, every chapter promises to spark an emotion.

Thank you.

Summary: Silver is trying hard to settle down again with Ben and River after the events at the Theatre De La Vie, but he isn’t the same person anymore and River is having a hard time dealing with the changes. One of the hardest things he has to cope with is Ariel, Silver’s new best friend, who makes Silver act like a teenager and causes trouble wherever he goes. When that trouble touches Ben, it sparks off a chain reaction that almost ends in tragedy. In the meantime, Ariel has his own fallout to deal with. After finally finding someone to whom he might give his heart, he very nearly loses him by…well by being Ariel. With his family life in tatters and his best friend lurching from one disaster to the next, Silver needs to be stronger than he’s ever been. The problem is he’s not feeling very strong at all. In fact, there are times when he thinks it would be so much better if he just went back to that place inside his head where he was safely shut away from the world, and that place is getting closer all the time.
