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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

So here is the original cover:

And here is the New Cover:

About the book –

Hannah’s past isn’t far behind her, and not everyone in Rory’s band of survivors is what they appear.

When Hannah van Kreeosk fled her father’s castle, she thought that finding a willing meal would be the worst of her problems. A natural born vampire, she never expected an attack would leave her wounded and in need of protection. As her desire for Rory grows, Hannah learns that the conflict in her heart may prove to be the more troubling wound. Unfortunately, between running from goblins and hiding from her father’s dedicated magician, the last thing Hannah needs is another knife in her back.

Rory Tallerin has met many traveling companions over his long life, but none so alluring as the wounded blacksmith of Talperin, a village destroyed by goblins. He is happy enough to have her join his ragtag band of survivors as they travel the dangerous road south, but even he has to ask questions when the bodies continue to pile up around them. Will his newfound connection with the mysterious Hannah be enough to withstand both of their secrets?

A vampire mage, Klauden van Sherinak was willing to let his betrothed go when a devastating secret threatened to unravel her position in House van Kreeosk but not without gifting her a special ring as a reminder of their long friendship. Little does Hannah know that her old friend is far closer than she ever imagined, and when she needs his help, Klauden is eager to rescue his beloved once again, even if she has found a new life beyond the mountains.

When forced to choose between the overwhelming demands of her body and the foolishly sentimental desire in her heart, Hannah must discover her true nature in this action-packed, high fantasy love triangle!

Release Day: Heart of Stone – A Rockstar Fairy Tale

We are excited for the release of Heart of Stone by J.M. Paquette!

Between rockstars and fae Lords, what’s a girl to do?

Margot Tanner has had a crush on Ash Stonewall since she was 15. Though close with her cousin Niklaus Hodges and drummer Timothy Green, the elusive Ash has always been just a step out of reach. Years later, Margot is the stage manager for the band Stone Dragons as they tour the country, but she is tired of longing for the unattainable Ash. With the gentle encouragement of Nik and Tim, she attends an afterparty and meets the mysterious Tobin Fetch. Their instant connection is a surprise, but even more shocking are the fairy wings that suddenly erupt from her back after exchanging a few kisses in a dark room.

Ash Stonewall has enjoyed hiding among the humans, following his father’s decree to stay out of fae politics. However, the temptation of Margot Tanner has always been troublesome, and he dreads the day someone discovers Margot’s untapped potential. Now that Tobin has unlocked her true identity, Ash has to decide what is more important: hiding his true nature as a fae Lord and maintaining his rock star identity or revealing himself and claiming Margot as his own to protect her from fae who would abuse her gifts.

Tobin Fetch always has a plan, but he never expected to stumble across an Unclaimed fae at an afterparty. Never one to ignore such a boon, Tobin is quick to free her powers, launching her into the fae world, but he never expected to want her for his own. Bound by loyalties in every direction, Tobin must decide how far he is willing to go to protect this newfound treasure.

Caught in the middle of forces she barely understands, not to mention a band tour that seems to attract more and more frenzied fans, Margot must find her place in a world where everyone answers to someone. In this strange hierarchy, where does Margot belong?

The year is 1968 and the Virdean Queen of the Uplands has lost her promised consort, the Earth warrior Ivy d’Seille. While just a child, Ivy fought the Germans in France and later served in Korea and Indochina. Could he have been overpowered and kidnapped?

To find out, she sends two of her most trusted companions: Mamma LeDeoux, a woman of gears and flesh, renowned priestess macumba of the Santeria, and Rains-a-Lot, a Plains Indian most famous for killing Thomas Custer at Little Bighorn.

Together, they must navigate the bizarre world of the United States to find Ivy and return him to the lands of magic. It turns out not to be that simple. Against all odds, Ivy, who is renowned for his moral strength, has been enlisted by the immortal Cinnamon in a plot for a secretive dark lord.

The heroes must race against time to find out what is happening and save their friend Ivy from infamy.
