The Fallen Shadow Excerpt #2
Enjoy a special excerpt of THE FALLEN SHADOW . Out June 20
You never know who you will meet on Revel Night.
The boathouse was a favorite haunt of Tynans; it had all the characteristics a Boogeyman needed. Dark, damp and decrepit, it was a place where Mortal teenagers came looking for a little mischief. Something he was more than qualified to provide.
It was a two level Adirondack style, the upper level a three-season porch and the lower level a sagging launch,...

Revel Night
Chapter One
Tynan could always tell when his father entered Shadow Manor. Like plucking the string of an instrument his presence vibrated along the whole. A hush fell over the usually boisterous students for a few moments, sensing what Tynan felt now as his father drew near, the spine chilling power of the Master Shadow of Faerie, Nox Tenebris.
A sprawling estate, Shadow Manor was owned by...

A Curious Beginning
[image error]
Ever since reading The Coroner’s Daughter I’ve been in a historical mystery mood. Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell series has fit that mood very nicely.
Set in 1887 London, Veronica is a woman who rejects society’s ideas about how a woman should act, think, dress….pretty much everything. Along with her (very hot) companion Stoker, Veronica gets swept up in some pretty crazy situations, and I loved every page!
A CURIOUS BEGINNING is the first of (so far) a five book series.
London, 1887.

I’ve followed author James Mark Miller for a number of years on Twitter and I love his very, very short stories called A Small Fiction. They are poignant little bites of perfect prose. Recently I’ve bought his book (with...
