Today’s news comes lukewarm on the heels of yesterday’s news that Neil has released his Symi Dream calendar for 2024. (Scroll down to read more details.) My news is that, also yesterday, I released the first book in a new series of Victorian mysteries. That is, mysteries set in Victorian times (1892).
As I have all the follow-up work to do on it this morning, the various uploads to publicity sites, listings and so on, I thought I’d give you the blurb and the link, and let you explore the rest for yourself. So, here you go.
‘Finding a Way’ The Delamere Files, book one.
It began with a man sobbing in the night.
When he is robbed by a fare, London cabman, Jack Merrit, thinks his life is over, but then he meets the dashing writer of social observations, Larkin Chase, a man in search of love.
Larkin sees the chance for Jack to earn a twenty-pound reward. All Jack has to do is identify the pair of crooks that robbed him, but the crooks are part of a notorious East End gang who know no boundaries when silencing a witness.
Despite the possibilities Larkin offers, Jack’s world begins to crumble. He must either deny or allow his unnatural desire and decide if he is to see justice done and win his reward. But when an equally dashing young detective arrives on the scene, Jack’s life becomes even more complicated.
Finding a Way is the first of a new series of thrilling Victorian mysteries. If you enjoyed the Clearwater Mysteries and Larkspur Mysteries, you’ll love this book. There is no need to read them first.
All my books as both me and Jackson Marsh are available in paperback, Kindle and are on Kindle Unlimited, if you subscribe. This link takes to you to the .com version of Amazon, but you can also find it in your country’s Amazon store.
Meanwhile… We continue to enjoy good August weather with the temperature in the early to mid-30s, some humidity, plenty of sunshine and no clouds. The harbour is full of visiting boats and, during the day, busy with day trip boats and visitors, and everything is as it should be. The Symi Festival continues, as do the daily excursions, boat trips and other summer events, and I for one have nothing to complain about. So, come back tomorrow, because you never know what I might be chatting about.
