Release Day: One Mummy to Go, Please!

We are excited for the release of One Mummy to Go, Please! by Beau Lake and JM Paquette!

A security guard, a mercenary, a lawyer, a thief, and a reanimated mummy walk up to a food truck…

Elizabeth “Eliza” Cunningham has always known what she wants, whether that’s a medal in an Olympics qualifier (Bronze!), acceptance to an anthropology program at an elite university (Oxford!), or her many sexual conquests (except her childhood best friend Reese Eldin, who was, admittedly, a drunken mistake). But when her parents are killed in a car crash, Eliza’s aspirations die along with them, and she flees as far away as the insurance money can get her: Cairo, Egypt. There, she runs a food truck called Shawarma Warrior King. She’s a good cook and scores an exclusive contract at a dig site (unfortunately, managed by Reese).

But trouble has a way of following Eliza. An accident at the dig site awakens a disgraced pharaoh called Milfonnos the Blighted One, whose delusions of grandeur have not faded in the last five thousand years. To stop him, Eliza must enlist the help of Jack Manning, a hunky security guard; Yong-Jin Hak, a mercenary; Rafi Sabbagh, a lawyer and her downstairs neighbor; and Teo Carranza, a belly-dancing thief. The group embark on a treasure hunt and heist to stop the pharaoh’s violent attack on the city. As tensions rise, Eliza finds that she has feelings for all the men—including Milfonnos.

But someone in the group isn’t happy with the harem, and his motives aren’t as transparent as they seem.

This story contains verbal abuse, explicit violence and gore, graphic sexual content, strong language, and more. Know the acts, events, and characters are purely fiction.

From the Author’s Desk – Worldbuilding 101: Mapmaking

Readers love maps. It doesn’t matter if you’re writing fantasy, thriller, or romance, whether your story takes place in the real world, your version of the real world, or a completely invented world. Readers enjoy pinpointing locations on a map and visualizing the spaces between events and locations. Taking the time to create one is general worth it–both for your readers and for you as the author. 

Maps keep you honest and lock in your world details–if the hero’s apartment is at Point A and the murder occurs at Point B and you said those points are 30 minutes apart in book one, having it visualized on a map helps you maintain that distance for the other books in the series. 

There are plenty of ways to create a map. Many apps will do it for you if you aren’t artistically talented (I really like Wonderdraft!). 

If you want a more old-school approach to mapmaking–with a dash of roleplaying games and fate–consider the following method:

New Cover Announcement: Secrets and Photographs – Book 1 in the Marissa Ambrose Witness Series

Sometimes you just want to try on some new clothes or shoes!

It is the same for a book or series of books!

So here is the original cover:


And here is the New Cover:


About the book –

How do you stop a killer you can’t even see?

It’s been two years since Detective Marissa Ambrose nearly lost her life working the Couple’s Killer case, but time hasn’t stopped the vivid nightmares. She still carries the heavy guilt of her partner’s death, and the Seattle Police Department refuses to support her theory that the suspect they arrested had an accomplice. With her ex-husband regretfully out of the picture, Marissa was supposed to be focusing on adjusting back to something resembling normalcy in her quiet tourist town. Then the letters came.

Unmarked envelopes full of photographs have been arriving at Marissa’s door. Candid shots of her at home. Now, Marissa is certain the missing murderer is stalking her, tracking her every move to finish what he started. As she obsesses over the strange images, the Seattle PD unexpectedly asks for her help. A serial killer is on the loose and targeting members of the Port Townsend community. Despite a personal connection to the first victim, Marissa agrees to pin her badge on once more.

The photographs are piling up and the suspect can’t be seen by surveillance cameras. Like a ghost, this killer is haunting her.

Author Spotlight: Lou Kemp

Have you discovered Lou Kemp?

If you have not grabbed up one of the books from Lou Kemp you are missing out!

Early work was horror and suspense, later work morphed into a combination of magical realism, mystery and adventure painted with a horrific element as needed.

I’m one of those writers who doesn’t plan ahead, no outlines, no clue, and I sometimes write myself into a corner. Atmospheric music in the background helps. Black by Pearl Jam especially.

More information is available at LouKemp.com. I’d love to hear from you and what you think of Celwyn, Bartholomew, and Professor Xiau Kang.

Milestones:

2009 The anthology story Sherlock’s Opera appeared in Seattle Noir, edited by Curt Colbert, Akashic Books. Available through Amazon or Barnes and Noble online. Booklist published a favorable review of my contribution to the anthology.

2010 My story, In Memory of the Sibylline, was accepted into the best-selling MWA anthology Crimes by Moonlight, edited by Charlaine Harris. The immortal magician Celwyn makes his first appearance in print.

2018 The story, The Violins Played before Junstan is published in the MWA anthology Odd Partners, edited by Anne Perry. The Celwyn series begins.

As of 2022, 4 Horsemen has reissued books 1 through 3 of the Celwyn series. Book 4, The Pirate Danced and the Automat Died and The Sea of the Vanities have been published. Book 5, The Wyvern, the Pirate, and the Madman will be reissued in January 2024 where readers will see more of Pelaez, another immortal magician and Celwyn’s brother.

And here is the New Cover:


About the book –

These are the first steps along the path to conquest. Tread lightly.

Born Esparan but raised in isolation, Tohmas Galanth wavers between blood and upbringing. Called north to defend the family he never knew, he must inspire Espar to rally, lest the invading Northlander forces conquer the land between the Ice Oceans and Outland Plains.

But Tohmas is not the naive commander his enemies or his allies expect. War is in his blood. He will not be deterred, though remnants of a crushed Rydan clan seek his head for a secret crime, and the Northlander chief readies a legendary dragon-wing axe for his throat.

His allies are no less eager to spill his blood. The Princes of Espar bicker for supremacy, unaware that the greatest threat to them all is Tohmas himself.

You can’t keep a bad elf down.

Upon completing her first Big Night assignment—delivering coal to all the kids on the naughty list—Ember Skye thought all was well at the North Pole. She no longer has to slave away in the coal mines, and her arch-nemesis has seemingly been stripped of his power.

Sturd, however, has only been biding his time. After he discovers an ancient text, the demonic elf sets out on a mission that could change life at the Pole as they know it. His rise in power could threaten the very existence of the Big Night, the North Pole, and even Claus himself.

Return to the North Pole where Ember and all the coal elves will soon realize never to underestimate the corruptible temptation of unrivaled power. Unfortunately for them, it may be too late… chaos may reign supreme.

We are excited for the release of Hope and Ashes by Kate Jenkins and Morgan Moreau!

The queen is dead, or so the rumors say.

Following Collette’s attack and near death, Zephraim’s use of blood magic on Larent has everyone on edge. The travel party decides to bunker down in Barcomb Mill, Whyldon’s old estate, for the winter. Already fraying at the edges, the group is nearly divided by the revelation of Nawalya’s visions showing a possible attack on Collette.

Back in Quenall, Zephraim suffers visions of the sister he killed while dealing with Riken and Rhoslyn’s plans for the kingdom. He hopes sending Riken to Galel will alleviate some stress, but will it only make things worse in the long run?

As news of the death of Collette spreads across the kingdom, Crem’s rebellion begins dying out, but the former commander has more important things to worry about. His wife Diana remains in the castle acting as spy and confidante to their miserable king. Will Lord Barris’s protection be enough to keep her safe?

In the Nereid kingdom, Aphros has allowed Jayden and Ceto to travel to Coralia in search of Collette. Will they find help or even more horror and despair?

Legends of Coralia: Hope and Ashes is the third novel in this epic fantasy series. This book contains LGBTQ+ themes, violence, revenge, discussions and depictions of genocide, sexual violence, adult language, and consensual sexual content.
