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.

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:

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.

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.
