Not You Again
The last time I saw my new colleague, she was on top of me.
Literally. She’s my best friend’s sister.
It might have been a hot one-time fling at his wedding. Maybe.
And the preacher from the church might have been the one to wake me up with my pants around my ankles.
What? It was worth it.
Years later she’s pissed that we’re working together.
Personally, I like having her curvy figure around to keep things interesting.
But she’s a boss in business—and a goddess in bed.
Lucky me.
We have six months to get a job done.
Our task?
Romance and architecture.
How hard can it be?
Turns out it’s not that easy with a woman whose heart is cold as ice.
She doesn’t believe in love.
Unfortunately for her, I do.
And I love a challenge.
She has her eyes on the deadline.
I have mine on the prize:
Her.

Shattered
When a mouthy consultant meets a gruff FBI agent, they team up to solve the worst serial murders in decades – but even with all their talents combined they seem outmatched.
Dr. Percy Shatter is the best forensic, behavioral, and clinical psychologist, which probably says more about her than she ever could. She’s afraid of nothing in the real world, especially after personally interviewing every living serial killer between studying the rest. She’s faced evil and come out the other side with knowledge, analysis, and only a few scars. Plus she can drink anyone under the table.
When she meets Special Agent Riley Rankin, Percy stands her ground, toe-to-toe, with him. He’s in the Violent Crimes unit with the FBI. And he’s taken down monsters so terrifying their existence never made it into public knowledge. He’s a rockstar investigator, with a fantastic solve rate, because he follows the rules to the letter. That is…until he meets Percy, who can’t stop pushing his buttons. Suddenly he misses his old murder scenes with lots of blood but not so many metaphors.
Together, Percy and Riley, are forced into a partnership when several brutally mutilated bodies are found, resembling the work of an infamous serial killer. More concerning, the dead victims are discovered states apart at the same time – which means there’s more than one copycat. And the notorious murderer being mimicked has been in prison for decades without helping anyone on the outside. Suddenly, the floundering investigative duo is left feeling lost. In the incredible stress of the situation, both partners end up at each other’s throats. While Percy tries to solve her woes at the bottom of a bottle, Riley simply shuts down. All the while, killers are planning their next elaborately violent murders.
Can Riley help Percy wrangle her inner demons long enough to chase down the psychotic followers of a serial killer, or will they both lose their composure, sanity, and lives when Percy falls apart? $1.99 on Kindle.

Persephone’s Spring
Spring 2020, the Covid 19 virus declared its war to conquer every continent. This pandemic was a world-wide tragedy of historic proportions. I wrote one villanelle per day during the San Francisco Bay Area’s shelter-in-place 3/16/2020 to 5/3/2020. This year, Persephone did not come back from the underworld, Spring Maiden did not bring spring to us. I searched all over for her; I ran and ran like Forrest Gump…
Yes, we suffered, we witnessed deaths and the picture of what death is like; we tried to grasp a prescient glimpse of our future, strived to go back to normal living, longed for healing and to make sense out of that calamitous catastrophe. These poems are Livingston’s diary to reflect the day-to-day headlines, dialogs, debates, feelings, pathos…it is a tiny, humble reaction to the ongoing debacles. An ancient form of villanelle was chosen to compose these poems to parallel the plaques over centuries of archaic human history.

Bad Boy Bachelor Christmas
The Grinch ain’t got nothing on me.
The only good and green thing about Christmas is the money it rakes in.
I’m not interested in carols, candies, or dealing with extra-Christmassy type people.
