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.

FREE OFFER: Celebrating the Completion of "The Gastien Series"


SCROLL DOWN FOR FREE SAMPLE OF "THE GASTIEN SERIES"





As an indie author of a five book series that is historical fiction, family saga, and drama, I am excited to finally have The Gastien Series complete. This series spans three generations, bouncing between France and the United States over a period of one hundred plus years. As such, it is both French historical fiction  and American historical fiction. The series is also psychological fiction (see definition by clicking link)

Different books in the series belong in different genres. All five fit in the aforementioned categories. The first book, Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream is also a coming of age novel. (over 148,000 words)


The second, Gastien Part 2: From Dream to Destiny is also a love story between a man and a woman, yet it does not fit the formula for romance. (over 128,000 words) Did you really expect a bohemian artist to fit inside of a formula? :)



The third Tristan Michel: Bloodline of Passion (115,000 words) is all of the above.



Giselle: Keeper of the Flame, book four, (113,000 words) is all of the above and the second half is gay fiction and gay coming of age.




The fifth, and final, book Gastien: Circle of Destiny is all of the above except for coming of age. Additionally, it is a gay romance (yes, it fits the formula) and a gay love story.  (over 142,000 words) It is perhaps the most tender story of the series.


When I finished the series I realized that I had included at least one gay or lesbian character in each book. I didn't set out to do that on purpose and so I paused to wonder why. Then I realized it came natural to me because I have knowingly had gay and lesbian friends since the 1970's. Upon further thought I realized that ALL books should have gay and/or lesbian characters in them because all families do...but unfortunately too many have to hide it. I dream of the day when we are all accepted as human beings and sexual preference is not a dividing factor.

So, now The Gastien Series is complete, and I felt I wanted to do something celebrate it. Realizing that many people would hesitate to buy a new author's long novels, especially five of them, I decided to take a risk and make my gift this:

THE FIRST 83,000 WORDS OF THE GASTIEN SERIES FREE!!!

That's right. Free on Amazon (although they may at times make it .99 and I can't control that), on kobo, I-Store and by ordering from by blog directly for .pdf, .mobi or epub.

Why? Because I get that you may be hesitating to spend the time and money required to read a series of great length. That's fair. I believe so much in this series that I'm willing to gamble that you will be hooked after the 83,000 words and continue on to purchase Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream and the other four books. I believe it's that good. If you don't agree, you don't lose any money, just a little time, right?

Yes, the first 83,000 words are in Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream...but you get another 65,000 words when you buy it. Those 65,000 words are as long as the vast majority of novels out there. The 83,000 FREE sample is longer than most full length novels.I hope you give The Gastien Series a try by downloading the FREE SAMPLE. I needed to give it a cover, so it is called Gastien: The Beginning.

You will also always find them on my blog page, facebook page and Goodreads page.

Happy Reading! I hope you find  The Gastien Series turns out to be well worth your time and small (at only $4.99 each) investment after reading the free sample.
