efestivalofwords awards Gastien: From Dream to Destiny BEST NOVEL AND BEST HISTORICAL!

I am so thrilled that Gastien: From Dream to Destiny won TWO awards this year on efestivalofwords.com. To be considered, someone in the industry has to nominate you.It can be another author, a reviewer, editor, etc...and you can't nominate your own books. Then each book goes through a review, and some make it to "finalist". Voting then takes place by the public.

Gastien: From Dream to Destiny who BEST NOVEL and BEST HISTORICAL FICTION!



"I am Gastien Beauchamp, artist and lover. Any Frenchman would tell you that a peasant could never own property in nineteenth-century France. Yet here I am, in my very own studio. The personal cost was horrendous. I barely survived the choices I made, and my sanity was pushed to its limits. 

Still, I finally now have security, peace, and freedom. For the rest of my life I can spend time "making love to the color", making love to beautiful women, and enjoying the wild nightlife of bohemian Montmartre. What more could a man need or want? 

Then, one night, I see her. One look at Sophie, and my heart wants to betray me! I try to tell myself that I know better. Who needs love, anyway? I am already married-to my art! 

No woman would ever understand and accept my lifestyle; nor am I about to give that lifestyle up. Not when I paid so dearly for it! Besides, I am too badly damaged to ever open up my heart...and if Sophie found out about my past she would not want to even know my name. I can't take that chance. I have had enough pain to last me a lifetime." 

This historical fiction novel is book 2 of a 5 book drama/family saga for adults (The Gastien Series). As such, it contains adult themes and graphic scenes. Each book can stand on its own, but is most compelling read in order.

Here is what some review/blogger sites had to say:

"...the amazing story of Gastien...even more captivated by Gastien and all the other characters in this book than I was in the first...so engrossed in everything going on that I read the whole book in a day, laughing, crying and feeling compassion for all of the characters especially Gastien himself...experienced every emotion there was and I was emotionally drained by the end, but emotionally drained in a good way." Jenny, Bookaholics blog 

"Caddy Rowland has done such an amazing job with these two books I know that I will ALWAYS make it a point to read EVERYTHING that she writes. Caddy is master of the roller coaster of emotions. It will have you crying one minute and laughing out loud the next." Christina Irelan, Intoxicated By Books 
"Sophie and Gastien have entered the realm of epic romance couples. They prove that true love is unexpected, unconditional, passionate, and flawed."Beccie Weaver, Bookies Book Reviews 
"..be prepared for the parade of emotions you are going to feel with Gastien and his choices. There is definite happiness, a touch of romance, a splash and a rub of lust, and there is sorrow...a gritty and raw look at the life of a young man who has convictions and sticks to them no matter the cost." -Liz, Fictional Candy

"Gastien is an engaging character, and his journey is brought to life with some great writing and a strong narrative structure...Paris is brought to life vividly and the novel is filled with interesting characters...-Chris Algernon IndieBookSpot

Gastien has dreams far bigger than a mere peasant has a right to. When he flees the farm for Paris, the late nineteenth-century bohemian era is in full swing. Color has always called to him, beseeching him to capture it on canvas and show people a new way of seeing things. His father belittled his dream of being an artist and tried to beat him into giving it up. The dream wouldn't die, but Gastien would have had he not left. 

He also yearns to become a great lover. After the years of anguish he has endured at the hand of his father, it would be heaven to feel pleasure instead of pain. 

However, the city of Paris has a ruthless agenda. Unless a man has money and connections, Paris unfeelingly crushes dreams and destroys souls. With neither of the required assets, Gastien faces living in alleys, digging in trash bins for food, and sleeping where a man is often killed for his threadbare blanket. 

Left with only his dreams, Gastien stubbornly pushes on. He vows that absolutely nothing will stop him, not yet realizing what keeping that vow might mean. Sometimes the "impossible" is possible - but the cost can be extremely high. 

This historical fiction novel is book 1 of a 5 book drama/family saga for adults (The Gastien Series). As such, it contains adult themes and graphic scenes. Each book can stand on its own, but is most compelling read in order.

FINALLY, CONGRATS TO ALL THE AUTHORS WHO WON OR WERE RUNNERS-UP!

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.

Introducing the Final Book in The Gastien Series! Gastien: Circle of Destiny

Today is a day for tooting my own horn. Yes, I'm going to be selfish and talk about my books. You see, I have finally finished my frist series. The Gastien Series in a set of five full length novels. They are adult drama/family saga steeped in history. From the womanizing grandfather, Gastien, to his very conventional son, and now his darling gay namesake, we travel over one hundred years from Paris to the U.S.A. and back again.

This series is very dark and emotional. It is raw, gritty and contains adult scenes and themes. The sex is extremely graphic at times. Why? Because this family lived life to the fullest and didn't hold anything back. (It took the son, Tristan, awhile, but he came around.)

Most of all, the story is about decisions and choices, and how those made in the nineteenth century go on to affect the family for generations to come. The books ask the question of exactly how far you would go to achieve your heart's desire, be that one of love, money or fame. How bad do you want it? Do you have a choice?

I hope you have been following the story. Here, at last, is the final book of The Gastien Series.

Gastien Beauchamp will discover that destiny has a way of completing what it starts. He is the final link of the Beauchamp destiny – a destiny that will not be denied. Being the new darling of the cutthroat New York City art scene is wonderful, but a kiss from his mentor opened a door to a new and terrifying world. America in the 1940s is no easy place to be gay. His secret could cost him more than just his blossoming career. He could lose his life.

As his fame and wealth grow, Gastien’s personal life plummets out of control. Finally embracing who he is, Gastien meets the man of his dreams when he moves to Paris. Unfortunately, that man has vowed to never give love a chance to break his heart again – and everything about Gastien sends loud warning signals to his brain.

Gastien wants it all: fame, fortune, and love.

Maybe that’s asking for too much.

This historical fiction novel is book 5 of a 5 book drama/family saga for adults (The Gastien Series). Each book can stand on its own, but is most compelling read in order.
