Upas Street: Shocking Specter Book Tour & Giveaway (10/15 to 10/29)

Posted on October 24, 2024 by Sahara Foley
 

Do you dare enter Dr. Frankenstein’s la-BOR-uh-tree? 

 

 

Upas Street: Shocking Specter

The Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries Book 6

by Sherrill Joseph

 

Genre: Middle Grade Paranormal Mystery

 

 

Do you dare enter Dr. Frankenstein’s la-BOR-uh-tree? 

 A fearless quartet of teen sleuths, the Botanic Hill detectives, travel to Llanfair, a fictitious Welsh village in present-day California, to solve the mystery of the Shocking Specter.

The green-glowing apparition reportedly roams the countryside, setting fire to buildings and meadows during the new moon. The occurrences began shortly after a motion picture stagehand Scotty Roberts’s accidental death by electrocution in this case inspired by the filming of Universal Pictures 1931 classic horror movie Frankenstein.

Supernatural?

Coincidence?

Or is criminal activity at work?

And why, nearly a century later, has the Shocking Specter returned?

 

Readers will enjoy learning about real-life horror film star Boris Karloff, Frankenstein author Mary Shelley, other key players in the movie’s production, and some early Hollywood cinematic history. Our fabulous four might need to kick some monsters to the curb to solve this challenging mystery!

 For ages 9 to 14. Adults like this series, too! My present-day Middle-Grade mysteries have a twist of history, this time, harking to the filming of 1931’s Universal Pictures classic horror movie Frankenstein. It is not within the Young-Adult genre that serves ages 14 to 18. 

  

What readers are saying:

 “Follow our detectives to the fictitious Welsh settlement of Llanfair, California, as they chase a green-glowing specter and get caught up in a riveting mystery that will introduce young readers to the magic of old Hollywood horror movies. Kids will stay intrigued from start to finish.”

–KIMBERLEY KRAMER, Literacy Specialist, Saint Katharine Drexel Academy, San Diego, CA

  

“I loved this book and could not put it down! I loved learning about the Hollywood monsters from the old-time days and meeting the people of Llanfair. You will not be sad that you chose this book to read.”

–SOPHIA O., age 10, San Diego, CA

  

“As a professor of History of Film and Monster and Character Makeup Design, I was intrigued from the first page of this book! The Golden Age of Hollywood is brought to life in the eyes of the young protagonists through their exploration of Universal Studios’ Frankenstein franchise. Joseph not only captured my attention with the charm and intelligence of her four detectives but had me searching for clues and secret messages (Easter eggs) to unravel this horror-movie-inspired mystery. Joseph includes facts about Boris Karloff that I did not know, which delighted me to no end. Jack Pierce may have never received an Oscar for his iconic makeup designs, but he gets a wonderful tribute through this exciting story. A must-read for mystery lovers and film buffs of all ages.”

–SHARON LYNN, award-winning author of A Cotswold Crimes Mystery series; aka SHARON BOLMAN, Senior Professor of Digital Video and General Education, University of Advancing Technology, Tempe, AZ

Cruiser Dreams Book Tour & Giveaway (10/17 to 10/31)

Posted on October 23, 2024 by Sahara Foley
 

 

The cruisers called.

She answered.

 

Cruiser Dreams

Kerrion Empire Book 2

By Janet Morris

 

Genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction 

 

 

 

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED SILISTRA QUARTET.

The cruisers called.

She answered.

Cruiser Dreams, Book II in the three-book Kerrion Empire saga

Cruiser Dreams . . . She is heir to an empire beyond all imagining, where interstellar cruisers have become increasingly sentient and man’s role among the stars is transformed.

In this epic of political treachery, interstellar security, human passion, and artificial intelligence, Morris continues the saga of the fiery girl Shebat, stolen away from a decaying and primitive Earth to be the adoptive heir to the Kerrion Empire. Molded to serve the designs of the Kerrion state, Shebat instead becomes the harbinger of change sweeping the civilized stars.

Against the chaotic background of simultaneous social and technological revolutions, Shebat finds that the man she loves is her implacable enemy, that the man she reluctantly married is perhaps her single ally, and that her space-faring cruiser may be her only true friend.



Praise for Dream Dancer Book I in the three-part saga of the Kerrion Empire:

“A fascinating and lyrical story, told with great invention…” – Peter Straub, author of Shadowland and Ghost Story

“Not since Dune have we witnessed a power struggle of such awesome intensity!” Eric Van Lustbader, author of The Ninja and The Bourne Legacy.


Praise for Cruiser Dreams:

“Packed with intrigue, spiced with romance . . .” — Publishers Weekly

“Fascinating . . . Recommended!” — Booklist


Janet Morris is an international best-selling author who lives with her husband on Cape Cod.

Everything you’ve seen or read till now took you only to the brink . . .

Neither pure fantasy, nor straight science fiction, nor earthbound dynastic saga, Dream Dancer is a stunning amalgam of all three. It is a family saga with the epic appeal of Dune and the action and excitement of Star Wars. It is a saga of love, power and treachery that will appeal to men and women equally; full of action, compulsively readable and quite unlike anything being published in the realms of fantasy today.

Praise for the Kerrion Empire series:

“A fascinating and lyrical story, told with great invention…” – Peter Straub, author of Shadowland and Ghost Story
“Not since Dune have we witnessed a power struggle of such awesome intensity!” Eric Van Lustbader, author of The Ninja and The Bourne Legacy.
“Packed with intrigue, spiced with romance . . .” — Publishers Weekly
“Fascinating . . . Recommended!” – Booklist

Best selling author Janet Morris began writing in 1976 and has since published more than 30 novels, many co-authored with her husband Chris Morris or others. She has contributed short fiction to the shared universe fantasy series Thieves World, in which she created the Sacred Band of Stepsons, a mythical unit of ancient fighters modeled on the Sacred Band of Thebes. She created, orchestrated, and edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell, writing stories for the series as well as co-writing the related novel, The Little Helliad, with Chris Morris. She wrote the bestselling Silistra Quartet in the 1970s, including High Couch of Silistra, The Golden Sword, Wind from the Abyss, and The Carnelian Throne. This quartet had more than four million copies in Bantam print alone, and was translated into German, French, Italian, Russian and other languages. In the 1980s, Baen Books released a second edition of this landmark series. The third edition is the Author’s Cut edition, newly revised by the author for Perseid Press. Most of her fiction work has been in the fantasy and science fiction genres, although she has also written historical and other novels. Morris has written, contributed to, or edited several book-length works of non-fiction, as well as papers and articles on nonlethal weapons, developmental military technology and other defense and national security topics.

Janet says: ‘People often ask what book to read first. I recommend “I, the Sun” if you like ancient history; “The Sacred Band,” a novel, if you like heroic fantasy; “Lawyers in Hell” if you like historical fantasy set in hell; “Outpassage” if you like hard science fiction; “High Couch of Silistra” if you like far-future dystopian or philosophical novels. I am most enthusiastic about the definitive Perseid Press Author’s Cut editions, which I revised and expanded.’

Posted on October 22, 2024 by Sahara Foley

When secrets are the only thing keeping you alive, how can you trust anyone with the truth?

Protecting the clueless public while keeping the existence of his monster hunting Company on the down-low is Ridge Prescott’s jam.

Associating with civilians, not so much. Until taking out a bloodthirsty ghoul ends in accidentally tag-teaming with the grumpiest woman he’s ever rescued. For the first time, McKenna Cabello has him thinking about hands-on civilian research. Good thing, since A) she doesn’t know jack about monsters, and B) she’s still hell bent on finding a couple of street kids under her protection who’ve gone missing.

Her record says she’s the Enforcer for the most brutal gun runner in the Gulf, and according to Company code, Ridge must turn her in. But the more time they spend together searching for the teens, the harder it is to believe she’s a criminal. Ridge can spot a secret a mile away though, and McKenna is hiding something major. Company Rule Number One is never have someone at your back that you can’t trust.

Time is running out and unless he can rewrite the rules, Galveston will drown under a wave of monsters, McKenna and the kids their first victims.

Featured Free eBook – Bloodforged Ascension by L.M. Hughes & R.A. Cooper

Posted on October 20, 2024 by Sahara Foley

Rising from the ashes with a new world to explore. Make no mistake, the monster’s still inside.

Liam is a 700-year-old wolf shifter on a downward spiral, mourning the loss of his true mate. Through a selfless act resulting in his death, he is bound by blood magic that unleashes monsters with an appetite for destruction. Given a second chance at redemption by poker-loving gods, he is reincarnated into another world. Some deities recognize the monster lurking inside him might be their only hope for salvation.

In the body of Lem, his blazing wolf shifter days are dead and buried, weakening him to a shadow of his former strength. He soon realizes that he cannot fight enemies alone, though karmic gods prefer it that way.

Under the high expectations of Heartstone Academy instructors, he must retain his scholarship and learn the ways of a cultivation world.

They say the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

Turns out dying was only the beginning. Stripped of hope, he claws his way back from oblivion, lit by an inferno to protect those he loves from sinister forces. Can an immortal bond spanning two worlds quench destiny’s desire for his bloodforged ascension?

Zach Stivers lives with his wife in Virginia, at the foot of the Shenandoah National Park. He loves to tell people they do lots of hiking in their free time, but usually they just go for a short stroll in the woods with their dogs and then stop off for a drink or two at the local brewery. That still counts as hiking, right? He has a degree in English Literature from Florida State University, runs really slow half-marathons, and leads an overly-competitive book club that reads a book a week … or else.
