I'm getting ready to release Crime Wave, the first novel in The Mythic Chronicles, on October 20, and I'm looking for readers interested in a free advance copy.
San Francisco, 1951. Eighty years after the Great Revelation proved the monsters of legend, folklore, and nightmares were real, magic has become part of everyday life. As the city prepares for a historic international peace treaty and a week of Halloween celebrations, women are disappearing and magical weapons, illicit enchantments, and supernatural drugs are flooding the streets. Kinichiro "Whiskey" Mononobe is an FBI consultant hiding a secret that carries a death sentence. Michelle "Mickey" McFinn is a magical bounty hunter armed with enough magi-tech to level a room. When their investigations collide, they're forced to work together to uncover what's taking shape beneath San Francisco before Halloween night.
Genre: Historical Urban Fantasy / Supernatural Crime / Noir Length: Approx. 192,000 words Format: EPUB Publication Date: October 20, 2026 ARC: Free
There is absolutely no obligation to leave a review. If you do finish the book and choose to leave an honest review on Goodreads and/or Amazon, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks very much for considering it. I know 192k is a substantial read, and I genuinely appreciate anyone willing to spend that kind of time with the book.
