Book Feature: “Blue Murder (Lord & Lady Hetheridge Series)” by Emma Jameson
Please welcome to Lizzyland author Stephanie Abbot (writing as Emma Jameson). She’s sharing her mystery series Lord & Lady Hetheridge.
Two Dead Men
In London’s fashionable Chelsea, a Halloween bash goes terribly wrong. Emmeline Wardle, daughter of a frozen foods baron, throws a party which results in the demise of two university schoolmates. Handsome golden boy Trevor Parsons is dead. So is pasty computer nerd Clive French. Both died on the Wardle estate within minutes of one another, and both died the same way – an axe to the skull. Given the social connections of all involved, New Scotland Yard sends a real baron to investigate: Chief Superintendent Anthony Hetheridge, also known as Lord Hetheridge, ninth baron of Wellegrave.
Two Prime Suspects
This time around, Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield and her partner, Detective Sergeant Deepal “Paul” Bhar, have their work cut out. Bhar must contend with Emmeline Wardle, a spoiled blonde with a penchant for the finer things, including a certain illegal white powder. Kate must decide if Kyla Sloane, model-pretty and delicate, is being truthful about the events of that fateful night. And if Kyla’s connection to a former lover of Bhar’s means nothing – or everything.
Ice Blue: Lord & Lady Hetheridge, Book Two
Return to the world of Ice Blue in Blue Murder, the second of the Lord & Lady Hetheridge series. In addition to solving the double murder in Chelsea, Anthony Hetheridge plans on proposing marriage to Kate for the second time. He has the ring. Now all he needs is the proper moment…
Available at:
Anthony Hetheridge, ninth Baron of Wellegrave, Chief Superintendent for New Scotland Yard, never married, no children, no pets, no hobbies, and not even an interesting vice, will turn sixty in three weeks. With the exception of his chosen career, too sordid for his blue-blooded family to condone, his life has been safe and predictable. But then he meets Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield – beautiful, willful, and nearly half his age. When Hetheridge saves the outspoken, impetuous young detective from getting the sack, siding with her against Scotland Yard’s powerful male hierarchy, his cold, elegantly balanced world spins out of control. Summoned to London’s fashionable Belgravia to investigate the brutal murder of a financier, Hetheridge must catch the killer while coping with his growing attraction to Kate, the reappearance of an old flame, and the secret that emerges from his own past.
Author Bio:

Past Lives #1: Rachel is her first offering under her own name. As S.A.

Updates: Grey God, Kiera’s Sun, Witchling books
Just a few updates! It’s been a quiet couple of weeks, and I’ve gotten a lot done!
The Grey God (Book IV, War of Gods)
Most importantly, “The Grey God” will be out mid-to-late next week. I’ll be sure to alert everyone in every way I can. It feels like my strongest book yet, and I’m really excited to share it with you all!
Katie’s Hellion (Book I, Rhyn Trilogy)
Starting July 15, I’m going to renew a marketing push for “Katie’s Hellion.” The screenplay is done, so I bought a slew of ads and put together a plan for boosting Hellion on the charts again. We want it to look as attractive as possible to movie-types! If you want to help:
tell a friend (or a zillion friends!) about the book;
leave a review on Amazon or Amazon UK so we can trigger their algorithms to promote it; (and so I write you a new book, if we reach 1,000 reviews!)
share/tweet/promote the announcements and ads to your social media network, etc.
if you have friends who want to read it, Hellion is on Wattpad right now for free! Wattpad will be promoting Hellion to its 2+ million readers starting mid-August
Upcoming books
“Dark Summer” the first of the Witchling Trilogy, a YA paranormal series. This one will be out in early August.
“Kiera’s Sun,” sequel to “Kiera’s Moon,” will be out in late August.
“Gabriel’s Hope,” the first in the Rhyn Eternal series, will be out in late September.
I’m a writing fool this summer!
Did I miss anything? I haven’t redone my publishing schedule for Oct – Dec, but there will be a book a month for the fall/winter. Most likely a second (and possibly, third) Witchling book. I think you all will like the new series; I’m loving it so far!

To enter the giveaway, simply like her Facebook page (links at end of post) and comment mentioning this post.
Vampire Queen and Demon son – Together they will wreak havoc and total destruction. Or at least, that’s what the prophecy says. When a sex-seething succubus focuses in on Ella Grey, a half-breed vampire and her Shadow Hunting partner, Micah McGregor, a power is released neither can control or comprehend.
A chain of events is triggered, forcing Ella and Micah down a shadowed path riddled with unrestrained passion, violence and betrayal. The truth of Micah’s demonic origins will reveal a heart-breaking conspiracy within the Shadow Agency that once swore to protect humanity from vampires and demons. Ella and Micah are proof that nothing is as it appears.

With the White God in Europe, Dustin is left alone in Miami to protect the Grey God, 
a man-god struggling with his identity, and the White God’s mate. One of the Black God’s vamps in Miami suddenly goes rogue and starts killing humans by the dozen. Dustin initially doesn’t think much of the ruthless, human-hating thug, Talon, until it becomes clear that the vamp is receiving help from otherworldly beings whose intentions are nothing short of destroying humanity. To make matters even worse, Dustin’s begun to dream of his dead sister, who tells him he’ll be seeing her soon.
Dustin rescues Bianca and her troubled brother, a Natural whose mysterious talent makes him vital to Talon’s plans. Bianca, a woman as sunny and sweet as Dustin is hard and cold, has the rare Natural gift of healing. She can bring the recent dead back to life or turn a vamp back into a human. She can even reach Dustin’s heart, which he locked away long again after his sister’s death. Convinced he’ll be killed soon, Dustin won’t risk his heart or Bianca’s, despite their mutual attraction, and Bianca discovers even her incredible talent can’t save both the men she loves.
