NEW RELEASE: Have you ever been haunted by a song?

Hi!

I'm really exxcited about this one! I've even gotten permssion to use the lyrics from Iggy Pop's song in this book. Cool! Anyway, here's the way this story happened:

In December of 2015, I watched the official video for the song Candy, by Iggy Pop, once again. I found myself replaying it several times. Something about it triggered all kinds of disturbing, creepy ideas. A pyschological thriller began to take shape in my head.
Once it did, the story wouldn’t leave me alone.
So here it is.
-Caddy Rowland, Author

Meet Connor Reed: talented, handsome, and criminally insane. He just doesn’t know the last part. Or does he?
Connor had been determined to become a rock ‘n roll star ever since junior high. It didn’t matter if no one else believed in him. He had Candy. Beautiful, sexy, faithful Candy. He almost couldn’t believe she was his. She had been his girl since high school. So what if she had only been fifteen?
Guys like him never had girls as fabulous as Candy. Hell, he never even had a friend, let alone a girlfriend. In fact, guys like him didn’t get any sort of break. It seemed bad luck was determined to follow him throughout life. From his Jesus-crazy mother to his jealous band mates, betrayal became a common theme.
Each time it happened, Connor had no choice but to do something about it.
But Candy was the exception. She really loved him. Throughout the years, Candy never stopped loving him; she never stopped believing.
Then the unthinkable happened. And, once again, he was forced into action.
You know how it goes.
After all, life is crazy.
But not half as crazy as Connor Reed.

Have you ever done something so completely unlike yourself that in retrospect all you can say is, “What the fuck was I thinking?” 

Well, multiply that by about a thousand. At least. Yep. That should tell you something about my story. 

I’d like to plead temporary insanity, but I can’t. I knew exactly what I was doing. The only problem was once I started, I couldn’t stop. I never knew until then how easily a person’s mind can become addicted to whatever their drug of choice might be. 

Mine happened to be a man online. I’m married, and the man online was definitely not my husband. 

Yeah. I’m some idiot. 

As for the story itself, it’s a story of betrayal, arrogance, innocence lost, and heartbreak. It’s a story about how we never completely know a person—especially when it comes to ourselves. 

Most of all, it’s a story about what can happen when you play with fire, not expecting to get burned. 

Before you know it, the whole fucking house burns down.

NEW RELEASE! SOLACE: A Caddy Rowland Psychological Thriller & Drama

I'm proud and excited to announce the second book in the Avengement Series is now available! Solace, a psychological thriller, mystery, and drama! The sexy red shoes continue...


Where the hell is Brady? 

It should have taken about a half hour for him to walk to town and back. As Tory heads out to walk the beach searching for him, a soft smile plays on his face. He can just imagine the ribbing Brady will give him when they meet coming toward each other. 

Instead, he comes face to face with his worst nightmare. There is his husband, lying in the water, bleeding and gasping for breath. Brady, petrified and struggling to stay alive, tries to tell Tory something about a boat. Then his frightened eyes stare into Tory’s as he manages to say “I love you” one last time. He’s gone before Tory can even tell him the same. 

The police believe it’s a robbery gone wrong. Tory wonders if it isn’t a hate crime. He swears he’ll find the killer, even if the police give up trying. No one is going to get away with gutting the man he loved, leaving him like trash to die alone. Nothing will stop him from getting justice for Brady. 

Not even murder. 

Buy For Kindle   Buy for NOOK  Waiting for it to go live on I-tunes and kobo, which will happen anytime now. Paperback coming in August!

This book can stand alone. However, Tory plays a very important part in the first book of the Avengement Series, Stiletto, so if you haven't read it you may want to. You'll get to know him quite well there and really learn to love him by the time you begin to read Solace. Plus, the main character from Stiletto (Jasmine) returns as a VIP side character in Solace. Here iis the photo and the buy links for Stiletto, too:




I hope you enjoy Solace! Please consider sharing this with your friends and relatives who enjoy reading.

NEW RELEASE! Stiletto: A Caddy Rowland Psychological Thriller & Drama

I am thrilled to announce a NEW novel, the first psychological thiller & drama in The Avengement Series. The title is Stiletto, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. As always, my work is GLBT inclusive. (I also always feature an artist somewhere in my stories, as I am also a painter.)

In this new series, victims decide to take the law into their own hands. Vigilante justice at its finest!



The Avengement Series: Sometimes a person gets pushed too far.

Book One: Stiletto

Never underestimate the value of a kick-ass pair of heels. Sexy shoes can make a woman feel beautiful. They can also bring a man to his knees—or worse.

Once John Mickelson slithers out from any blame for the devastation he’s caused with his Ponzi scheme, Jasmine Albertson finds herself barely left breathing. He’s taken everything: her husband, her money, her home, and her child. She can barely see through the haze of pain and hate. 

However, one thing is very clear: John Mickelson is going to pay, and she’s going to be the one doing the collecting.

(Note: Although there is an object tying these novels together, each gritty drama is a stand-alone psychological suspense thriller with a complete story arc.)

Karma really can be a bitch—especially when it scores a willing partner.

Right now it is only available as an e-book at the below online retailers. The paperback will be coming to Amazon sometime in April.

BUY HERE: Amazon  Barnes&Noble  I-tunes  kobo 

ALSO, A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DOWNLOADED HOUSE OF PLEASURE FROM THE BOOKBUB AD AND BOUGHT THE OTHER THREE BOOKS! I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE FIRST BOOK ENOUGH TO CONTINUE WITH THE STORY.  THIS SAGA WAS A TOUGH ONE TO WRITE, BUT I FELT THE STORY ABOUT SEX-TRAFFICKING VICTIMS WAS AN IMPORTANT ONE TO TELL. THE RESPONSE WAS OVERWHELMING AND I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

NEW RELEASE! House of Shame (Sometimes all you have is hate. Sometimes that's good enough.)

 House of Shame (click on cover)



This psychological thriller is the conclusion of a 4 book saga about 6 teenagers who are sex-trafficked and plot revenge. The saga features both a straight female protagonist and a gay male protagonist who share main character status by the end of book one- House of Pleasure. As with all books in the saga, this book is available  in e-book at Amazon, B&N, I-tunes,and kobo (whenever kobo gets done fumbling around with publishing it—hopefully before the end of the century). The paperback will be available by early November on Amazon, also.

Here is the the blurb:

Book 4 (Conclusion) of There Was a House saga, a psychological thriller about revenge and redemption. 

Phoenix has been plotting to devastate her captor and destroy his brothel of under-aged sex-trafficking victims ever since arriving at Rêve. But the beating he recently gave her over some bank accounts fans the flames of hatred into a firestorm. Now, to her delight, plans to accomplish exactly what she’s been hoping for are in place—and the results will be brutal. Even better, every depraved man using them for sex will be revealed for what they are to their family, friends, and business associates. 

Phoenix, Jamie, and the other captives know the plans must play out flawlessly. Any unforeseen glitches will likely mean not only an end to escape, but of their very lives. However, perfection seldom exists. Something is bound to go wrong. 

And when it does, Jamie will be left wondering if he’s just signed all their death warrants. 

**Content Warning: This drama contains adult themes and scenes that deal with a difficult topic. 

In case you have been waiting for the 4 book series to be complete (and it now is), here is the link, cover, and description of the first book in the series:



Book 1 of There Was a House saga, a continuing psychological thriller about revenge and redemption. 

Fueled by rage and disgust, Phoenix runs away from home. The situation there had become unbearable. In fact, things couldn't get any worse. 

But they do. Betrayed in New York by a boy who she thought was a new friend, she finds herself taken prisoner by a low-class pimp. Then, when she thinks she's on her way to her first seedy trick, Phoenix winds up locked in a limo with no way out. She wakes up in an illegal brothel in New Orleans. Phoenix vows she will find a way to destroy Antoine, the owner of the brothel. Instead of being Antoine's prostitute, she'll become his lover, his confidante, and pretty soon, his manager. And then, when he least suspects it, she'll bring the entire house down. 

She better be damn good. 

There will only be one chance. 

**Content Warning: This drama contains adult themes and scenes that deal with a difficult topic. 

The second book is titled House of Pain and the third is House of Trickery. 

Sometimes all you have is hate. Sometimes that's good enough.
