The Swordsman of Venice
The Painted Souls series continues on May 6 in this sequel to the winner of the American Writing Awards’ best novella.
1623 A.D., The New Kingdom of Granada
It’s been 24 years since Angelo Mascari lost his beloved Isabella to Paradise. With a warrant on his head, he reluctantly took a dying nobleman’s elusive advice and fled to the New World.
Now, in the bustling port colony of Santa Marta, Angelo has built a new life with a loving wife and two children. Though his ghosts haunt him, he’s found a sense of purpose as the town defender.
But when the Doge of Venice acquires a conquistador’s chronicle of the Amazon, he instructs Angelo’s old nemesis, Vito Uccello, to lead an expedition into the jungle to find a treasure that promises immortality. Forced back into danger, Angelo’s fragile peace is quickly shattered as he faces his former foes in a battle for survival, redemption, and a discovery that could change everything.
Coming on May 6 from Lost Meridian Press.

The series is about an American couple who travel to Venice, Italy on what is supposed to be a dream vacation. Before they get settled in, the couple become entangled with a secret society that dates back to the sixteenth century.
As the series continues, they realize the society is much bigger than originally thought, with their tentacles reaching Madrid and Paris. Master of the Abyss is a globetrotting thriller that spans Italy, Spain, France, Holland and China. Like the first two books, it’s set in the present day and different time periods in the past.
Fans of Dan Brown, Diana Gabaldon, and Daniel Silva will love this riveting series that blends mystery and action with history and art.
While each book can be read as a standalone, I recommend beginning with The Prisoner of Paradise.
