“Unwanted Ghost” Released!

Unwanted Ghost, A Thulukan Chronicles Story, #2

Unwanted Ghost

 

Have you been Thulukanized? Well, the Thulukans are back! Today sees the release of my second novelette in The Thulukan Chronicles, “Unwanted Ghost.” You can buy it exclusively at Amazon: Unwanted Ghost (A Thulukan Chronicles Story).

About “Unwanted Ghost”

Thulu & La Fi have inherited an old, furnished Victorian. What they weren’t expecting was that the furnishings included a ghost.

Usually the Thulukans are happy to take on supernatural clients for their detective agency. But there’s something about Darla Redding that bothers La Fi – and with good reason. They discover that Darla has a much darker past than hinted at by her “normal” life. She’s definitely not a ghost they want haunting them. So, if they want to be rid of their unwelcome house ghost, Thulu and La Fi need to solve her murder.

“Unwanted Ghost” is the second prequel novelette to Relics in “The Thulukans Chronicles.”

About “Ghost Memory”

La Fi is not having a normal day. She broke someone’s nose, embarrassed her fiancé, Thulu, and now a dead guy is on her doorstep. Although seeing the dead is not unusual for the young medium, since she and Thulu regularly deal with the supernatural. Thulu can find anything that’s lost and the amnesiac ghost is missing money, along with his memory.

Peter Swanson used to stash money throughout his San Francisco home. Now he can’t remember his hiding places, and his aging partner needs the money. That’s not normally a problem for Thulu, but some of the money is missing from the house. Thulu and La Fi must broaden the search for cash long gone, and that could prove tricky in more ways than one.

“Ghost Memory” is A Thulukan Chronicles Story set in the Relics universe. Bonus Material includes Chapter 1 from the novel Relics, Book 1 of The Thulukan Chronicles.

 

You can buy Ghost Memory (A Thulukan Chronicles Story) at Amazon and Smashwords.

In the Spotlight – Kyle Floyd

Anatomy of a Book Trailer

It’s a pleasure to have Kyle Floyd on the blog today. Kyle is the artist who designed and drew my book trailer for my first novel, Relics. Which will be released May 1, 2013 by Crescent Moon Press.

Working with Kyle was an interesting, fun and rewarding collaboration! He is such an easy artist to work with, bringing his ideas to table and making my book trailer look better than I could have ever hoped. I’m always in tremendous awe of people who can draw. I cannot draw stick people. Seriously.

Since I couldn’t afford to do the “film” style of trailer, photos seemed the obvious choice and what most other trailers out there seemed to use. But I wanted something different and decided original art might be a fun change from photos.

Read on for more about Kyle and “Relics – The Book Trailer.”

The Book Fort – Rite of Passage

In this one group of writers that I belong to, I have cheered at the photos of book forts whenever someone in the group had a new release. These book forts represent the reality of a dream come true. They are a rite of passage for an author and something we proudly show off.

Here are pics of my book fort. With and without dog. And yes, I did notice that mine resembles a stage. So maybe it’s the theatre inside the book fort. 🙂 I also included Chloe as she snuck off to see what mom had been doing the last few years.

Cover Reveal – Relics

It’s here! I get to reveal my own cover for Relics today, gorgeous art by Ida Jansson! Relics will be published May 1, 2013 by Crescent Moon Press. A little over two weeks away! I’m so excited! You can add my book to your To Be Read list over on Goodreads, too!

Relics 1330x2000

About Relics

Most of Thulu and La Fi’s clients are dead. Which is perfect since their detective agency caters to the supernatural. So, a job finding relics for an ancient daemon should be simple.

The daemon needs the relics to keep a dangerous portal closed. His enemy, Gabriel, wants the relics to open the portal and give his people access to a new feeding ground – Earth.

Stunning humanity with their existence, portals to other worlds begin to open and the creatures of magic return to Earth.

When Gabriel threatens their family, Thulu and La Fi’s search becomes personal. The couple will need powerful allies in the race to find the relics before Gabriel does. But maybe that’s what grateful dead, magical allies and daemonic clients are for.

When the creatures of myth and magic return to Earth, they’re nothing like your mother’s fairy tales.

Relics – Update

I’m less than four weeks out from the release of my first book, the Urban Fantasy, Relics. I’m having a blast, getting blog tours and signing events set up. I’m enjoying every step of this magical process! I saw my cover art the other day and I’m over the moon because it’s so gorgeous! Not that I’m biased or anything.

I have live events scheduled as follows:

May 9 – Great Basin College, Pahrump, NV – 6 PM – Reading and Book Signing

May 11 – Book Boutique, Henderson, NV – Noon – 2 PM – Book Signing

May 18 – Barnes & Noble – 1 PM – 4 PM – Book Signing

May 25 – Pahrump Community Library – 11 AM – 1 PM – Book Signing

 

I’ll also be posting my online blog stops when I get them. I’ve booked Bewitching Book Tours and I’ll be making a lot of stops on the tour. I’ll be having an online event with four of the fabulous writers from my publishing house, Crescent Moon Press. I’ll be doing the podcast, MythBehaving, with host Carla Clifton and special guest host, LynDee Walker the first week in May. Yes, that’s the show I usually co-host, but that day they will turn the tables and I will be in the hot seat. I’ll have an actual schedule up in the near future, so be sure to check back! Thanks to everyone who has supported me and helped me make my dream a reality!

The Thulukan Agency

thulu-lafie

On Facebook, I started a page for the series, “The Thulukan Chronicles”. It was suggested by my good friend and beta reader, Jennifer, to use a format where the characters speak and allow folks to ask questions of the characters. Intriguing idea, I thought, so now the page is called “The Thulukan Agency”. This page will allow readers of the book, Relics, to engage “directly” with La Fi, Thulu, Reo and the other characters in my book.

Feel free to stop by and ask questions. La Fi was entirely too anxious to get control of that page, if you ask me. She has already posted the advertisement she and Thulu used to contact the Supernatural. She also has a rather cryptic and foreboding poster regarding being Thulukanized and joining Team Thulukan. For the rest of us the poster represents a street team, so feel free to join that as well. I doubt that’s what La Fi had in mind, though.
