Gina “Tink” Miyoko, an absolute original…

John Copenhaver, author of ‘Dodging and Burning’

Gina “Tinkerbell” Miyoko is not your typical private eye. Armed with a baby blue Magnum, a Harley blessed with Holy Water by her dramatically disposed mother, and a Japanese mingei tucked in her pocket (a good luck charm from her Sherlock Holmes-obsessed father) Tink spends her time sniffing out delinquent dads in the San Francisco Bay area and honing her detective skills.   But when her best friend Rose, an undercover agent, discovers there’s a stalker on her tail, she hires Tink as a bodyguard. Someone must be trying to intimidate Rose and scare her out of testifying in an upcoming case on looted Anasazi artifacts.  But when Tink tries to flush-out the stalker, things take a far more dangerous turn. Now, with a dead black-market dealer and an injured Rose on her hands, Tink must take her best friend’s place and follow the looters’ trail towards a powerful and lucrative antiquities collector in Cancun, Mexico. Equipped with an ingenious disguise and a teasingly coy persona to match, Tink is determined to find out who is behind the attack on Rose and the illegal trafficking of these priceless artifacts. Along the way, she will find help in the most unlikely of partners… Deep in the jungle and far from civilization, Tink must decide who she can trust as she tries to unearth the ones responsible behind the pilfering and bloodshed—and still make it out alive.

Gina “Tinkerbell” Miyoko … is a unique series lead, but she sweeps across the pages like an adrenalin-fueled soul sister of Janet Evanovich’s flamboyant characters, presented in an equally biting and outrageous narrative that turns on a dime. A promising start to an exciting new series with plenty of crossover YA appeal.” Booklist

Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff’s The Antiquities Hunter breathes new life into the PI genre. Fast-paced, witty, and full of intrigue, it’s a layered mystery with a deeply complicated and memorable main character in Gina Miyoko. Such a terrific ride. William Boyle, author of The Lonely Witness

“… a damn fine novel.”

tlj

New York Times Bestesller! 

The Emperor’s ruthless Order 66 has all but exterminated the Jedi. The few remaining who still wield the Force for good have been driven into exile or hiding. But not Jax Pavan, who’s been steadily striking blows against the Empire—as a lone guerrilla fighter and a valued partner of Whiplash, a secret Coruscant-based resistance group. Now he’s taking on his most critical mission: transporting a valued Whiplash leader, targeted for assassination, from Coruscant to safety on a distant world. It’s a risky move under any circumstances, but Jax and his trusted crew aboard the Far Ranger, including the irrepressible droid I-Five, are prepared to pit their combat skills and their vessel’s firepower against all Imperial threats—except the one Jax fears most. Reports have raced across the galaxy that the dark lord of the Sith has fallen in a duel to the death with a Rebel freedom fighter. But Jax discovers the chilling truth when he reaches out with the Force . . . only to touch the dark, unmistakable, and malignantly alive presence that is Darth Vader. And Jax knows that Vader will stop at nothing until the last Jedi has fallen.

” I have to say that The Last Jedi was a damn fine novel. It explored some excellent emotional depths and touched upon some intriguing intellectual threads. The story really fired on all cylinders.” – Skuldren (Amazon)

“Thank you for this adventure, from the bottom of my heart. I followed the Pavan saga from Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter all the way through to this explosive event in The Last Jedi. I rarely have such joy reading a book, (even Star Wars), as I did while reading The Last Jedi. Thank you a million times.” – Reader Review (GoodReads)

[Dash Rendar] and his ship, the Outrider, and his droid companion Leebo vanished and deserved another shot. This is it.”

shadowgamescover

Javul Charn is the most famous pop star in the galaxy—and the runaway bride of a violent lieutenant in Black Sun, the crime syndicate commanded by Prince Xizor. Or so Javul says. Soon after Dash Rendar, broke and desperate, agrees to be Javul’s bodyguard, he realizes that openness is not her strong suit—and that murder is stalking her tour. Between the discovery of dead bodies in a cargo hold and an attack by an unidentified warship, Dash and co-pilot Eaden Vrill desperately try to understand who is terrorizing Javul’s tour and why. When Han Solo suddenly joins Javul’s road show, the stakes are raised even higher. Now Dash, who has a history with Han and an even worse history with Prince Xizor, follows his instincts, his discoveries, and Javul herself—straight into a world that may be too dangerous to survive.

“I’ll admit, its been awhile since Star Wars deviated from the Jedi Order and their Force powered, lightsaber driven storylines. And yes, they’re interesting, but sometimes the fact that there are billions of other beings in the galaxy is forgotten. This is one of the stories that leave the Jedi and Sith completely out of it and instead focus on smugglers, divas, and droids… [Dash] and his ship, the Outrider, and his droid companion Leebo vanished and deserved another shot. This is it.” — Guitarist of the Midwest (Amazon)

” I couldn’t put the book down.

Colonel Brenden Winter was one of Queen Victoria’s most trusted agents of her elite Secret Intelligence Service. Now, he is wanted for her murder, which he did not commit.

His only recourse is to fake his own death, so that he can destroy the faction that set him up and toppled the British Crown. His new persona is that of an ordinary London doctor, Heywood Atkinson. Now, he can hide in plain sight and plan the destruction of these evil men, who aim to rule the world.

Winter is not alone in his mission. Colleagues, friends and agents throughout the world, who share this taste of freedom, have pledged to fight this injustice at every turn. The battle lines have been drawn and Brenden Winter has chosen to lead this fight, wearing the mask and armor of an avenger. He has become the city … every street, every alley, every shadow. He has become both protector and executioner. His enemies fear him, while the people have given him a new name.

They call him the Archangel.

Action packed, and such a fun read! I couldn’t put the book down.” – Amy Suchma, Amazon Reader

“…gripping story perfect for dual fans of mysteries and science fiction.

MrTwilight

In a bookshop specializing in rare volumes, an avid fan of horror fiction seizes a tome too valuable and too incredible to fathom. In the end, the man was too curious to live. . . .

A few miles away, in a Manhattan brownstone, another man learns about the explosion that left a gaping hole in the fabric of reality. Colin–he has no other name–has been an unrelenting warrior against the dark, the demonic, and the damned. A man who has angels at his side and hell staring him in the face, he has devoted his life to solving magical crimes and tracking down–and neutralizing–the perpetrators of those crimes, human and nonhuman alike. Now Colin is about to team up with a beautiful Native American a long way from home and a tough NYPD detective who seems to be immune to magic. Together, in a funhouse of evidence and apparitions, they are chasing a killer and untangling a tale that leads from the infamous Vlad the Impaler to a dead twentieth-century occult author and his gorgeous daughter–who is as seductive as the devil himself.

MR. TWILIGHT combines the mystical and the mysterious, the supernatural and the primitive, in a rich, steamy brew of otherworldly adventure.

“A rare bookshop find sends an avid horror fiction fan into danger while a fighter against the demonic battles a hole in the fabric of reality. Connections between the two events will bring in an investigation team unique in their ability to chase a killer through an underground occult world in this gripping story perfect for dual fans of mysteries and science fiction.” — Diane C. Donovan, California Bookwatch for Midwest Book Review

I have read books, some best sellers, that have a great opening and middle but fizzle with a weak ending. It is at these times that I often think of the question posed by the late wonderful singer Peggy Lee: ‘Is that all there is?’ To Ms. Lee’s question, I have good news. MR. TWILIGHT more than satisfies. Besides having a tantalizing opening and a remarkably well sustained middle, it has a knock out ending that makes the reader say wow! Ms. Lee would be proud.” – Barnes & Noble Reader

If this book was a cocktail the recipe would be: Start with a glass of matured Harry Dresden, add a dash of American Gods and a slice of angel and demon. Stir in a shot of The Historian’s Dracula, then shake. I enjoyed the Native American female character and seeing the differences in how she used magic and how the main character used magic. It’s good to see some diversity in female leading characters. I would love to read see a sequel a second book by this team.” – dmcmillan, LibraryThing

Bohnhoff_Spirit Gate 900x600

The magic of Polia is broken, the delicate connection between its male and female elements, sundered. Blame for this and other calamities both natural and political has long been laid at the feet of the White Mothers–rare adepts who can handle both male and female elements. The young widow, Kassia Telek, is one such woman. Barred from the legitimate use of her talents, she peddles herbs in the town square to feed herself and her son, Beyla … until, one day, she comes to the attention of Master Lukasha, head of Polia’s foremost center of arcane learning. 

Lukasha sees in the young widow a chance to mend his broken and besieged land and save Polia’s king from the necessity of a disastrous political marriage to a daughter of the Frankish Empire. It seems his dearest hopes will be realized when Kassia’s native curiosity and talent lead her to discover a trove of hidden knowledge. But Kassia gradually discovers that not everything that can be known should be known. The magic to which she holds the key, thrusts her into a battle with forces that can save Polia from its enemies or destroy everything she holds dear.

Bohnhoff-TheMeri600x900

Book One of The Mer Cycle.

The Cycle begins…

In the twenty-fifth year of the reign of Cyne Colfre, a fifteen year-old girl named Mereddyd-a-Lagan sought to wield powers reserved, until now, for men. Would she attain the station of Osraed … or die a heretic like the one who went before her?

“…enthralling continuation of Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff’s powerful and evocative first book, The Meri.

Bohnhoff-Taminy600x900

Book Two of the Mer Cycle.

They said Taminy-a-Cuinn was a sorceress, and that she drowned in the Meri’s Sea seeking a station denied her by tradition and nature. One hundred years have passed and Taminy has walked out of the Sea and back into the land of the living for a purpose only she knows.

Some call this a miracle—some call it a diabolical plot. Will the truth be known before Caraid-land is torn apart?

“…be sure to pick up Taminy, the enthralling continuation of Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff’s powerful and evocative first book, The Meri. …this intricately wrought character study…set(s) the stage beautifully for the forthcoming Crystal Rose. Ms. Bohnhoff is a superlative talent with an exquisite gift for pure storytelling magic.” – Romantic Times

“An author whose imaginative insights shine with a special beauty…”

Bohnhoff-TheCrystalRose600x900

Book Three of the Mer Cycle.

She is the sign of God on earth; she is the personification of evil. She is the rebirth of the religion of Caraid-land; she is its complete undoing. Some call her Taminy-Osmaer—Divinely Glorious. Some call her Taminy-Wicke and ward against her. Which of these is the petite seventeen-year-old who has fled with her followers to the high crags of the Gyldan-Baenn? This is the question that tears Caraid-land apart, splitting families, pitting the noble Houses against each other and throwing the religious order into chaos.

Daimhin Feich—the man who would be king—knows only this: Taminy-a-Cuinn, whether angel or demon, has something he must have if he is to redeem his own fortunes and that of his House. Among her devotees is the young ruler of the divided nation and Daimhin Feich means to get the boy back by any means, even if it destroys the land he hopes to rule.

“An author whose imaginative insights shine with a special beauty, Ms. Bohnhoff is becoming one of the great names in fantasy.” – Romantic Times

“… the science fiction world influenced by Hindu culture and religion … came alive…”

Laldasa_600x900

Anala Nadim is a free woman until she travels to the planet Mehtar to procure supplies for her father’s mining operation on Mehtar’s impoverished sister world—the colony planet Avasa. When a twist of fate enslaves Anala to the Lord Prince Jaya Sarojin, Anala is engaged in a battle to free herself from slavery and her world from subjugation to a corrupt Mehtaran consortium. So begins a tale of greed, betrayal, political intrigue and love that threatens to tear Anala from her spiritual path, and introduces both her and Jaya to true darkness.

Laldasa is Sanskrit for “beloved slave” and I think it’s a fitting title for a story of class boundaries, racial prejudices and the one power capable of overcoming them. It’s the story of one small woman—viewed less as a human being as an exotic commodity—battling a political machinery over which she has no control and one supposedly powerful man who realizes that he is as much a pawn of the machinery as the casteless woman he befriends.

“I really liked how the science fiction world influenced by Hindu culture and religion … came alive in its technical, political (I thought the discussions in the government and the way that worked fascinating, actually) and cultural aspects – I found the discussion of the unquestioned acceptance of the caste/slave system fascinating in a totally non-preachy way. The characters were charismatic, from the hero and heroine to their family, slaves and social circle.” – Amazon Reader
