Mansfield Park and Mummies -- Available Now!

I am happy to announce that Mansfield Park and Mummies Monster Mayhem, Matrimony, Ancient Curses, True Love, and Other Dire Delights is here at last!

A hilarious "comedy of monsters and manners!"

This stylish and clever parody of the Austen classic Mansfield Park, comes complete with "scholarly" Footnotes that harangue the reader, amazing Appendices, illustrations (by the author), a genuine romantic sub-plot that involves an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh who takes on the form of a sexy Regency gentleman... and of course the mummies!

Oh, and there's a vampire, a werewolf or two, and an unspeakable monstrosity known only as the Brighton Duck!

Enjoy! And consider giving this curious book as a gift this holiday season!

Note also that, unlike the other monster mash-ups, this one was written by A Lady. :-)

SALT OF THE AIR - Available Now!

My collection Salt of the Air has finally been reissued in a revised and expanded beautiful edition, both trade hardcover and trade paperback .



This is the definitive edition, and features three additional stories not found in the original release (Prime Books, 2006).



Salt of the Air collects the best of my fantasy, fairy tale and fable short fiction spanning 20 years of my writing career from 1985 to 2005.

"Cautionary, sensual stories of love, reversal and revenge upend fairy tale conventions in Nazarian's lush collection... Sumptuous detail, twisty plots and surprising endings lift these extravagant tales."
—Publishers Weekly

By the way, if you are unfamiliar with my work and would like an introduction to my writing, this is a good place to start. Enjoy! :-)
