When Delan stumbled into the Temple, he wasn't expecting to be welcomed as a Temple servant. He wasn't expecting his only duty to be to serve Lyander, cloistered son of the High Priestess. He wasn't expecting to fall in love.
And he wasn't expecting that he was going to have to choose: love, or saving the world.

About the Author
Elizabeth
Schechter was born in New York at some point in the past. She is
officially old enough to know better, but refuses to grow up. She has
been, at various points in her life, a jeweler, an artist, a counselor, a
minister, a fitness instructor, a singer, counter-person in a
coffee-shop, a lab tech, a research assistant, quarter-staff master, a
daycare worker, a high school English teacher, a kindergarten teacher, a
stay-at-home-mom, an editor and a writer. She firmly believes in the
Heinlein adage that specialization is for insects, and is still working
on the tinker, tailor, soldier and spy parts of the list.
Elizabeth started writing in grade school, mostly for her own amusement. Her first novel was written while a student at the Bronx High School of Science, where she was regularly accosted before class by her friends, who were looking for the next chapter. She still has that manuscript somewhere, and readily admits that it is absolute and complete crap, but one must start somewhere.
Writing got pushed to the sidelines for a good number of years, until Elizabeth got involved in a play-by-email role-playing game that was completely story driven. That game rekindled her love of writing, and she teamed up with another player to further explore the lives of their characters. That exploration turned into a planned series of novels, of which the first two are complete.
Once Elizabeth started writing again, she found that she couldn't stop. A friend pointed out an open call for submissions for a Circlet anthology themed on the Tarot. She came up with an idea about a most interesting tarot reading that turned into "The Hand You're Dealt," her first short story sale.
Elizabeth lives in Central Florida with her husband and son, and a most accepting circle of friends who are both very amused and very proud of the pervy, fetish writer in their midst.

My Thoughts:
Lyander has lived a quiet life in the Temple and doesn't expect that to change when Delan comes to serve him. But in each other's arms, the two men find a passion they hadn't expected. Things should have been bliss, but the temple is attacked by the priestesses of the Light who have discovered a secret about Lyander. When Lyander is taken hostage, Delan joins forces with Lyander's sister to save the gentle young man from being sacrificed.
From Dusk 'Til Dawn is an exiting tale packed with action and a little romance. It also paints a unique picture. What if women were the dominant sex and men were the ones who had to fight for equality? There is also a paranormal element in the tale because Lyander is more than what he seems. All in all, a quick read with an original storyline.
