1. Murder at the Universe (2007) -- Nominated 2007 Lambda Literary Gay Men's Debut Fiction Awards
   For thirty-six-year-old Trevor Lambert, life revolves around work. As Director of Rooms at the luxurious and ultra-modern Universe Hotel in New York, he radiates dignified professionalism and high-end hospitality. When Trevor inadvertently escorts VIP guest Brenda Rathberger—the cantankerous executive director of the Victims of Impaired Drivers conference—past the dead body of the hotel's owner, Trevor's perfect world implodes. Police believe a hotel executive may be responsible and their suggestion that alcohol may have been involved encourages Brenda to use the controversy to grandstand her cause. She joins forces with celebrated TV anchor Honica Winters, who exposes the sordid details on national television.
   
   With his dear coworkers under suspicion and his treasured guests turning on him, it's all Trevor can do to protect everyone, particularly his sweet and lovely duty manager, Nancy. In the resulting clash among pampered guests, harried employees, and militant protesters, Trevor struggles to find the killer and to preserve the dignity of the Universe.

2. Murder at Hotel Cinema (June 2008 release)
   After the tragic death of girlfriend Nancy, Trevor Lambert moves to Los Angeles to start a new life as manager of Hotel Cinema, the hot new boutique hotel with the tagline “High Drama in Hollywood”. At the star-studded opening party, guests are horrified when celebrity bad-girl Chelsea Fricks leaps off the balcony of her penthouse suite. Already struggling with the challenges of opening a hotel, Trevor finds himself at the center of a real-life Hollywood murder mystery. Faced with prying media, a belligerent owner who treats the hotel like a family employment agency, and a detective more interested in star-gawking than in solving the case, Trevor is forced to step out of his comfort zone and into the spotlight. As he gets closer to discovering the killer, he revisits Nancy’s mysterious death and learns lessons about love, work, fame, truth, and coming to terms with one’s past.
