New Mystery Release!
Blood of a Gladiator is the first of a new mystery series I write as Ashley Gardner.
Meet Leonidas, a gladiator freed from the games, and Cassia, a scribe assigned to assist him. Set in the time of Nero (about 63 AD), Leonidas must find a way to survive, and finds himself embroiled in murder and mysteries.

I spent a good part of my time in Rome last year researching for this book. I love this period of history! Enjoy.

Book Updates
I am and have been doing much writing, on many different projects. I get lots of email asking me when such and so book will be out, but right now I can only say for certain that Murder in the East End (Kat Holloway Book 4) is out August 4 (in e-book, print, and audio).
Everything else does not have a definite pub date. I’m giving myself time to sit back and WRITE until I have manuscripts finished. Once they are out for edits, I will start putting books on pre-order and deciding exact dates.
That said, I am working on, in Mystery: a Leonidas the Gladiator novel; Kat Holloway Book 5; a new Captain Lacey. In Romance: The next Shifter, Captain Ellis’s story in the Mackenzies, and some new fun things, and some novellas for multi-author anthologies. Also Stormwalker is up!
I am deep in my cave, typing away. I will post details on all these projects as soon as I have finished books and firm dates. Plus covers. I love cover reveals.

London Walk–Trafalgar Square to Grosvenor Square
Not sure this will work, but here is another vid of London settings for three of my series: Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries, the Mackenzies, and Kat Holloway Below Stairs Mysteries.
I travel from Trafalgar Square via Pall Mall to Haymarket to Piccadilly Circus, then north on Regent Street to Vigo Street, which becomes Burlington Gardens, north again on New Bond Street to Grosvenor Street and so to Grosvenor Square. I walked a lot that day!

Audio should be out in late March. Cris Dukehart just finished the narration, I will be reviewing, then Audible has to do it’s thing. I’ll post when it’s out!
The next logical book in the sequence will be Ben’s book. More on that when I decide on a title.
I’m working on many more books this year. I’m not posting a schedule until I have more drafts finished. I’ve been writing up a storm, though. I’ve done almost 60K new words in February, and it was a short month. :-)
The next Kat Holloway (Murder in the East End) is out in August, and I’m working on more in that series too!
