When Real Life Meets the Dark Musicals — Featuring Doctor Hong


Every now and then, real life hands me a moment that feels like it stepped straight out of one of my own books. Today at the Auxiliary Foundation Bingo event, I had the joy of watching Doctor Hong, a real doctor, take the stage and belt out Broadway tunes with bingo‑themed lyrics.

Doctor Hong delivered his own clever, comedic rewrites of classic Broadway numbers, and the entire room was on their feet. After the show, I introduced myself and told him: “My Dark Musicals fans would LOVE you.” We ended up chatting about my series, and I mentioned one of my favorite characters, Dr. Zane Riverdale, the openly gay doctor who marries a drag queen and becomes one of the emotional anchors of the series.

Here's little slice of real‑world musical magic that feels right at home in the Dark Musicals universe. Please check out Dr. Hong's YouTube video below and show him some love! He deserves every view. And who knows, maybe someday Doctor Hong will make a cameo in the books. The Dark Musicals always has room for one more star.

🎭 Meet Micaela Harper — The New Voice of the Dark Musicals Series


Meet Micaela Harper, the brand‑new narrator for my Dark Musicals series. Right now, she’s deep into Phantom (Book 1), and she’s not just narrating it. She’s transforming it.

Micaela has officially signed on to narrate all 16 books in the series, and after hearing Chapter 1, I knew I’d found the perfect creative partner for this musical‑mystery universe.

🎶 She Brought the Music 

One of my biggest fears about adapting the Dark Musicals to audio was losing the musical element that defines the series. I write original “lyrics” into the books that echo the spirit of the songs that inspired them, but of course we can’t use copyrighted music in the audio. Micaela solved that problem

She took my original lyrics and composed her own unique music, creating a sound that captures the heart of the series without violating any copyrights. It’s fresh, emotional, atmospheric, and perfect for the Dark Musicals. Her performance captures the drama, the romance, the tension, and the theatricality. As a real musical theater performer, she understands the tone of the series.

🎬 A Journey Begins

This collaboration is going to be an incredible ride, and I can’t wait for you to hear what she’s creating. If you want a taste of her talent, check out her YouTube video below where she sings If Somebody Love Me from Toy Story.

Book 1 should be ready by mid‑June, and trust me, it’s worth the wait.

Stay tuned! The Dark Musicals are about to sing louder than ever. Check out the whole series on Amazon.

Phantom is FREE for #BlackFriday #CyberMonday

The Phantom was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses "Phantom" as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars-Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist. Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn't know who to trust, but she knows she's running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty-first century phantom finally be revealed.

Years after a near-fatal car accident almost destroyed his career, Erik Patko has finally returned to the Broadway stage, starring alongside his famous parents Lord Justyn and Lady Rebecca in a revival of the classic musical Opera Ghost.

When a masked vigilante fighting hate crimes in the Theatre District enacts vengeance on his tormenters, Erik wonders if his addiction is causing him to bring his character to life on and off the stage.

Coming Fall 2025 - Tainted , Dark Musicals Book 13 (A Repo! Inspired Mystery)



Rebecca Hope-Patko and her husband Lord Justyn are reuniting with their former screen partner, Italian opera singer Luciano Domingo, for a thrilling Gothic rock revival of Repo Man. But what should be a career milestone unravels into backstage warfare when Luke’s three entitled adult children also join the cast, igniting a storm of egos, power plays, and simmering resentment.

Erik Patko is finally hitting his stride. His haunting compositions are earning acclaim, and his bond with his girlfriend Priscilla has never been stronger. Then, a shocking betrayal shakes his foundation, unearthing old wounds and threatening his hard-earned recovery.

With tensions between the two families at a breaking point and pranks escalating to violence, suspicion turns toward the Patkos. As opening night looms, real-life drama collides with theatrical chaos, building to a final act that plays out not behind the scenes—but live on stage.


 


Want a closer sneak peek? 

Meet the Domingos: a theatrical dynasty wrapped in velvet and scandal, poised to wreak havoc. Leading the charge is Luciano Domingo—first introduced in Haunted as the deliciously wicked Count Fosco, now reborn as the cold-blooded Rotti. A world-renowned opera singer with a voice as lethal as his rumored mafia ties, Luke is the kind of man who commands silence with a single glance. He’s fathered eight children across the globe, each named for the city of their conception, and now he’s brought three of them to the stage with him—because what’s a little nepotism when you’re an icon?

Roman Domingo storms into the role of Luigi with clenched fists and a chip on both shoulders. Short-tempered, loud, and permanently annoyed, Roman has perfected the art of yelling through walls and stomping down hallways. His presence on set is volatile, explosive, and strangely mesmerizing. If you hear screaming backstage, odds are it's Roman letting someone know they did everything wrong.

Lucca Domingo floats in on a cloud of cologne and chaos, draped in silks and secrets. He’s playing Pavi, naturally—vain, theatrical, and just enough of a menace to make the lighting crew sweat. Lucca’s reputation precedes him, thanks to his habit of seducing half the cast and crew regardless of gender, mood, or lighting. He’s beautiful, he knows it, and he’s not here to make friends—unless it’s in the dressing room.

London Domingo is the baby of the trio, but don’t let that fool you. As Amber, she oozes entitlement with every glitter-drenched note. British-born, sharp-tongued, and armed with an ego big enough to eclipse the stage lights, London has no time for pleasantries and even less patience for anyone who gets in her way. She demands perfection, designer tea, and the last word in every conversation.

Together, the Domingos are here to unsettle the Patkos and cause backstage drama, diva standoffs, and glitter-fueled sabotage. Buckle up—this family doesn’t just steal scenes. They burn the script and dare you to keep up.


If you haven't read the Dark Musicals yet, you can get Phantom, Book 1 FREE for a limited time. Catch up now before Tainted is released in October! The entire series is available exclusively on Amazon.

Meet the Crossover Stars of Tickled to Death – And Snag Their Backstories for FREE!


 

My regular readers know I’m a total sucker for crossovers—like, tie-me-up-and-call-me-helpless levels of obsession. But if Tickled to Death is your first taste of Laura DeLuca’s world, you might not realize that (with a few exceptions) most of my books are cannon, especially the ones set in my home state of New Jersey—because let’s be real, if any place screams “spicy drama and questionable life choices,” it’s Jersey.

And yes, that includes The Domme Mom series. That’s right, darlings—characters from Dark Musicals and Jersey Girls have strutted right on over. To celebrate the release of Tickled to Death, I’m giving away a few of these books for FREE, so you can get properly acquainted with their backstories before diving headfirst into my newest release.


By day, Leonard Foley Esquire is a top attorney in Cape May and Atlantic Counties, defending the legally doomed with the confidence of a man who’s never lost an argument (or at least, never admitted to it). By night, he trades the courtroom for the spotlight, moonlighting as an actor at a local dinner theater—because apparently, delivering closing arguments just isn’t dramatic enough. Lenny makes his grand debut in Reanimated, where he plays Victor in Ghost Bride—a role that, thankfully, requires fewer objections and more ominous monologues.



Vashaan Jacobs, AKA Black Silk, first made waves  in Brushed by Fate. This retired Marine traded battlefield tactics for physical therapy, working alongside wounded warriors—including our hero, Scott Heron—at the local hospital. Turns out, patching people up is just as intense as taking them down.

And if that wasn’t enough crossover goodness, Rhonda’s neighbors, Lainey and Drew DiPalma, also pop up in the Jersey Girls series—because what’s a tight-knit Jersey community without some familiar faces (and a little well-placed drama)?

Both these titles will be free for a limited time, so grab them while you can! And if you’re new to the Dark Musicals or Jersey Girls series, I highly recommend reading them all—preferably in order, unless you enjoy spoilers and chaos. Happy reading, and remember—safe words are important, but binge-reading is highly encouraged.

Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her sights set on Justyn. It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial rapist terrorizing the campus. Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start living the story of Sweeney Todd-both on and off the stage.
