IF YOU KNEW ME is available to NetGalley members, and it could use more ratings and reviews at NetGalley and Goodreads. Also available to pre-order almost anywhere. It's a psychological thriller about obsession and identity. (I have reason to believe the audiobook edition is going to be awesome.)

excerpt from my story.
First, I just want to thank you for hearing me out. I know you came over
tonight thinking something else was gonna happen. And, shit, who knows?
If everything works out, who says it canโt still happen, right? I do like guys.
That part wasnโt a lie. And you are cute. But obviously you already know
that. I mean, Jesus Christ, look at you. Youโre fucking ripped. Which was
why I chose you. I need someone with some goddamn muscles. The shit I
would let you do to me . . . but not right now. Later, maybe. Iโm sorry, but
horny is probably the last emotion Iโm feeling tonight, as crazy as that
sounds.
I also want to emphasize that you arenโt a hostage. You can leave any
time you want. Yes, I have the gun, but itโs not like Iโm going to use it. Iโve
never shot anybody in my life. The only reason Iโm even holding it now is
because you saw it when you werenโt supposed to and started freaking out.
Iโll put it away the moment you calm down.
And yeah, okay, technically youโre wearing handcuffs right now, but
cโmon. Theyโre pink and fuzzy. These are not hostage handcuffs. Their
purpose is to inspire erections, not fear.
Iโll unlock them the moment Iโm done telling you what I gotta say. And
then, if you donโt want to help me out, you can leave. No problem. Itโs a
free country, right? Iโm not trying to make you do anything against your
will. Except maybe listen. Iโll ungag you as soon as Iโm finished, I promise.
Look, Iโm in a bit of a fucking pickle here, all right? And thatโs putting
it lightly. The problem I got, itโs a life-or-death thing, you know? No, not
you. Iโm talking about me. This shit goes a certain way and youโre looking
at a dead man. Thereโs not a place in this world Savini wonโt find me. Well,
maybe thereโs one place . . . but more on that in a minute.
You know Johnny Savini? You ever hear of that motherf
