A Haunting at Marianwood is now available for preorder on Kindle!

Life is good for Dash Hammond. He's recently remarried his childhood sweetheart, Dr. Maevis Summers, and together they're raising his four-year-old son, T.J. in the Hammond family homestead in Clover Pointe, Ohio. A retired Army colonel, Dash now keeps himself busy fixing everything from a leaky faucet to an unsolved murder.
It is no wonder that his cousin Billy McCafferty calls on Dash for a road trip to Kentucky when  his oldest sister is in trouble. The president of a religious order, Sister Miriam Patrice, Miri Pat to those who knew her before she took the veil, has been hearing things, seeing things and misplacing things. A very competent woman, she refuses to accept an unearthly reason for all this.
Marianwood, the motherhouse of the Sisters of the Blessed Mother of God, is located on an old plantation thought to be haunted by its original inhabitant, Miss Victoria Harris, who is rumored to prowl the grounds and cemetery in search of her murdered beau. 
When the Ohio contingent arrives, they discover that things are not as simple as your ordinary haunting. 
In a battle of wits, will the victor be supernatural or a very corporeal retired Army colonel?

The book will be available in print and on Kindle October 18th!

​Cincinnati, 1942. The secret to being a grifter is changing up the con so the rubes don’t realize they’re being taken. Kissy Lisbon’s spent years honing her skills as a con-woman, but as the war in Europe drags on, things get tough in the Queen City. Her new scheme: hiring herself out as a private eye. Her first client has a missing daughter, the missing daughter has a German boyfriend, and the German boyfriend has friends in all the wrong places. Following a lead sends Kissy careening headlong into a whirlwind of stolen money, American Nazis, and bleeding corpses. When an old flame from Kissy’s past shows up wearing a shiny new detective’s badge, she’s less than thrilled, but together they scour the city for answers. As the bodies start to pile up around her, Kissy is in a race to save the missing girl, her country, and her very life.

Now in print: Concealed in Ash

9/24/2015

0 Comments

 
Our victim was spread too awkwardly on the floor for him to have been simply knocked out by a piece of falling debris. He could have died from the smoke, but the fire had not traveled much beyond the bed. I cleaned the grime from my own spectacles with my handkerchief and moved to where I could examine him more closely. That’s when I saw the bullet holes. One entered through the back of his head, ranged downward, and removed the lower portion of his face. The other shot had been fired into his back.

Picture
Concealed in Ash is now available in print and Kindle format. You'll notice that the cover for the print novel is slightly different from the Kindle cover; it features one of the secret societies active in the novel.

We received the proof yesterday, and were very pleased with the product. We think you will be, too.

The book contains an appendix with historical notes about the fire (one of several) at the Phoenix Hotel, the Red Strings, and Adamstown (a community of newly free blacks). You don't need the notes to enjoy the story, but if you'd like to learn more about Nessa's world, this section will add depth.

Take a look. We think you'll enjoy it.

Get ready for the long-awaited sequel to Gwen Mayo's first novel! We'll be launching it in the next few days.

This book has been a long time coming. Gwen's work on Concealed in Ash was interrupted when we made a radical life change - moving from Kentucky to Florida - due to life circumstances. But it was only an interruption, and we're pleased to share the good news with you!

Stay tuned for more information.
