One Down and Almost Ready...

It's June and Almost Summer!

I'll get right into the good news. Heyward and Andersen #3, The Headless Corpse, is now with my editor! So that means it's in the final stages of publishing and fingers-crossed it will be out in July. I'm eyeing a July 11th date, but we'll see.

You can find a little teaser for the cover here.

The Headless Corpse (Heyward and Andersen #3)

Headless corpses are running around London. Can Heyward and Andersen unravel why?

Dogged investigator Elspeth Heyward has no fear of risk and loves a mystery. Always up for adventure, she is determined to outshine her avowed rival, Sherlock Holmes.

Lars Andersen walks a fine line between dread and his enjoyment of paranormal investigation. Especially when his partner likes guns and danger, with little regard for safety. Thank heavens for a good glass of brandy.

The Case: Corpses are walking away from mortuaries…and returning without their heads. Hired to track down the culprit reanimating the dead, Heyward and Anderson must go toe to toe with a rogue sorcerer to solve the mystery. When they finally meet, the showdown will be explosive…

Also in book news, I'll be releasing an ebook box set of Saga of the Outer Islands sometime in the next couple of months. However, it will ONLY be available through my direct sales store (at least for now).

This month's Inside the Book fact.

Those of you who have read Fairy Tales and Nightmares know one of the stories in the collection is a Red Riding Hood retelling. What you may not know is I hate the original fairy tale. So how did it end up in the book? A stray bit of research that mentioned a wolf was an obscure form of the Morrigan (a Celtic goddess). That bit of information sparked the idea for Red Wolf.
