Here's one of the reviews:
Steven LaVigne reviewing Charmed Lives in White Crane Online, says:
"J.R.G. De Marco’s ghost story, “Great Uncle Ned,” is the first passage that’s a topper, making the reader think nothing else can be better. Romantic and sexy, De Marco takes the reader on an exquisite gothic roller coaster ride."

Mr. Dead Leather & Other Mysteries
Due to publisher problems,
my book is seeking a new publishing house.
We’ll find one soon.
Mr. Dead Leather comprises six compelling novellas
introducing
Grif Lupo
– a gay detective with a life some would kill to have!
Missing
g-strings, dead drag queens, death in chains…
That’s the life of a gay PI.
Working in Philadelphia,
Grif Lupo has his hands full balancing his case load,
his troupe of male strippers,
and an ongoing love triangle.
“Philadelphia PI Grif Lupo is a tough and savvy investigator, but in this enjoyable
collection of stories, he shows he has heart as well as brains. DeMarco has a winner with his new gay sleuth,
and mystery readers will soon be looking for more mysteries from the dark streets of Philly.” Dean
James, author of Posted to Death and Faked to Death
“In Mr. Dead Leather, author Joe DeMarco introduces a charmingly cynical private eye, Grif Lupo, who also
happens to own a troupe of male strippers. The potential for mischief, of both the deadly and the romantic sorts,
is boundless, and DeMarco wastes no opportunity to embroil his sleuth in all manner of unusual shenanigans…
Lupo is an engaging hero…who's sure to leave readers wanting more.” Michael Craft, author of
the Mark Manning series including Name Games and Body Language
In Process -- I'm working as fast as I can...
Who are the men who dance for men? Where do they come from? In this ground-breaking work,
DeMarco has collected data from male strippers, bar owners, patrons, and others to discover what makes the men
and the industry tick.
Packed with revealing in-depth interviews and lots of other information this book will be a great read for anyone
interested in strippers and their world. Check out Strippers
Excerpts and Sample Interviews for more information.
