The story comes together beautifully in this third installment of the Thalassic Series! A lot of elements that made for a wild ride in the first two books align in a way that both makes sense and I didn't see coming. The core crew that assembles to t ...more

This is a great debut novel. I’m here for the first-person and present tense POV. It’s not always an easy combination to pull off, and it was executed well in As Below. The MC is a believable person, not a romanticized damsel. She has her temper and ...more

A.J. Elmore answered Katy's question: I love your books, and I am not a fantasy-SF-horror reader. But I love The Nameless! Keep writing and advertising your books. I've also ordered Cadillac Payback for my summer TBR. What's next in your writings? Thank you! I am currently working on the technical side of publishing the first sequel to The Murder Meets at Dusk, and have hopeful plans to finish writing the sequel to The Nameless after that.
