In this companion short story to the Storm Ketchum Adventures series of cozy island mysteries, a stolen item is recovered and a Victorian lesson is relearned. Ketch, a new and damaged emigre to North Carolina’s picturesque Outer Banks, simply wants to be left alone. Now that he’s finally where his soul belongs, he thinks he doesn’t need anyone but his dog. But in the tradition of Scrooge, he learns otherwise at the annual Banker celebration of Olde Christmas. Join Ketch and his loyal dog Jack as they embark on a winter journey of self-discovery and redemption on historic Hatteras Island, where intrigue (and Old Buck) could be just around the next corner.

About the Author
Garrett lives in upstate New York, where he and his wife serve as the housekeeping staff for two rather spoiled dogs. He has degrees in biology and computer science. After a career that ranged from testing experimental drugs (legal ones, and not on himself!) to developing computer operating system software, he decided to retire from the real world and try his hand at writing fiction. Garrett lived in coastal North Carolina for a while some years back, and the current focus of his writing is a place that’s very special to him, the Outer Banks region of North Carolina, which he still visits as often as possible. PORT STARBIRD is his first published novel, and PORT OF REFUGE is the second of the Storm Ketchum Adventures. Garrett is now working on his third novel – keep a weather eye out for it!

About the Book
The Immoderate Temper of Mrs. Chen’s Daughter is a historical novel set mostly in China. It tells the story of a woman who knows how to use a cleaver. It is an exploration of the Chinese proverb “to hit is to kiss, to curse is to love”. It is a tale of China and Jews, of passion and politics, of revolution and mahjong. The author has traveled extensively in China. In this novel he writes of a time when Chinese history and Jewish history collide in the Shanghai ghetto. One reader called it a cross between Portnoy’s Complaint and Kill Bill. If you enjoyed The Good Earth, Wild Swans, The Tin Drum, or The Painted Bird, this is a book that belongs on your reading list.

The story begins on the day in 1908 when news of the death of the Empress Dowager reaches the town of Two Trees. The eight year old Slaughtering Girl works side by side with Grandmother Chen to kill enough fowl for the celebration. Certainly there is no child more skilled with a cleaver but her grandmother wonders what she is destined to do with this gift. Grandmother Chen cannot live long enough to know this destiny but readers can follow Slaughtering Girl as she claims her place in a tumultuous century of Chinese history.

At roughly the same time, on the other side of the world, a young Polish Jew discovers that he has little talent for talmudic scholarship and even less for office work. Yet, he too has been given a gift, albeit one less tangible than skill with a cleaver.

Although her secret may be her worlds’ only hope, being a child of two worlds could cost Erynn her life. Swept up in a chain reaction of events, Erynn’s dedication extends far beyond service and duty. She learns the true meaning of sacrifice.
Along with courage and hope, Erynn finds something unexpected on her journey of awareness and growth.
Love.

The Shabby Realm tells the story of Winston, a chronically-unemployed vampire looking to get back on top again in the private investigation business.  After discovering a magic teapot that transports one to other realms where mythological creatures come to life, he thinks he’s found it.

The problem is his ex-wife and licensed-witch Maggie has also found it and suddenly they find themselves on the run from evil sorceresses, soul-eating ice monsters, and even worse: government bureaucrats.  They are plunged into an adventure that will take them across the magical realm of the Abenaki Indians where they marvel at all the wondrous and majestic ways the creatures they meet there want to eat them, but hopefully not before they can get back home.

About the Author
Lennox Brown is trying to figure out if he should be referring to himself in the third person while he feebly attempts to launch new ebook titles. He thinks it feels a bit odd, but also strangely empowering so he’s just gonna go with it. He has lived in the US, the UK, and now finds himself trying not to sweat too much on the new couches in Spain with his wife and son. He has worked in the film industry but has found a much more satisfying way to tell his stories in ebooks without having to worry about the usual film-related pressures such as budgets, production value, actors’ egos, how to get Brad Pitt’s agents’ phone number, being asked to write out all those pesky female and minority characters, and explaining to young producers why they won’t win an Oscar for adapting the “Celery Head Man” comic book series and no, not even if you get DeNiro.

He has been a rabid BBC Radio 4 and 4extra listener for many years and can out-nerd anyone when it comes to horribly outdated, vaguely-sexist British radio comedies. He finds his own work to be heavily inspired by comedy-writing giants such as John Finnemore, Bob Larbey, Jesse Armstrong + Sam Bain, Jennifer Saunders, Mark Tavener, Miles Jupp, and the immortal Sandi Toksvig. He’s also a big fan of many genres of literary writing, including dark mystery-thrillers, action-adventures, and historical fiction. Big plans are afoot to contribute to each of them, so stay tuned.

Before Jack the Ripper, a sly killer roamed the streets of ancient Rome, leaving little more than expensive silk used to blindfold victims.

But that’s all history, according to high school teacher Ellen Tuner. And as much as the unsolved mystery fascinates her, it’s not exactly what a guy would like to discuss over cocktails.

On a trip to modern day Rome, Ellen takes a chance and visits a historical site with a wishing fountain. She tosses in a coin and makes a wish for two things–that she discovers what Rome was really like, and, that she finds true love.

She didn’t expect her wish to thrust her back in time, to the very place of the mysterious ancient murders, and she certainly didn’t expect to meet the handsome soldier Cassius, who opens his home to her.

They both want to find the murderer for their own reasons, and they decide to stick together until the task is done. However, there are forces at work attempting to tear them apart, and if Ellen isn’t careful, she may find herself the next victim.
