The Blade of Balance

The White Raven Book 3

by M.J. Moores

Genre

 YA Urban Fantasy

No job. No alliance. No clue…

This isn’t about Dray finding herself anymore. This is war. Her BFF-Familiar is holding the fort at the club. Wolf Boy is in uber Nexus protection mode, and the drive-her-mentalist is tracking a missing dragon.

It’s time to go hunting… but seeking the essence required to jumpstart the Blade of Balance drops Dray squarely in everyone’s crosshairs. Really, nowhere better to be than on the brink of social annihilation behind enemy lines. Unfortunately, the key to unlocking the power of the Blade lies with Dray’s less-than-strategic ability to negotiate with severely unbalanced forces… and deciphering the meaning of the final riddle.

If Dray is only the Seeker… who, then, is the Wielder?

The White Raven Book 2

It’s a bird, it’s a plane. No… it’s a murder-hornet!

Stuck in raven form after her run-in with the most insane wizard alive, Dray is content to focus on healing. But the djinn she negotiated help from has other plans. He sends a warning via stinger in mid-air, forcing Dray to shift before she’s ready. The hostile calling card parrots in her head as she plummets to the ground: Time’s up. Favour’s due.

Back on the asphalt, Dray barely has time to take a breath, or a step, before getting blasted by a second summons. She’s on the fae council’s radar, big time. No one else can root-out the maniac wizard who spliced her soul (Public Enemy No.1), so the council offers Dray a deal she can’t refuse. Being a high school outcast never prepared her for this kind of popularity contest.

Can she survive spying for the good guys while breaking the djinn (Public Enemy No.2) out of jail right under their noses?

The Hollow Kiss

The White Raven Book 1

Bloody Walls and Supernatural Espionage Were Not on the Final Exam

Graduation meant a whole new world away from the labels of outcast and freak, but a supernatural abduction leaves Corvina Dray with a hole in her memory and a deadly kiss.

Inexplicably drawn to a dark stranger in a back alley, Dray’s soul-sucking lip-lock lands her with a DB and the local PD on her trail. Then, a girl she doesn’t remember shows up out of nowhere and helps her dispose of the corpse.

Dray’s dead-body-bestie initiates her into an underground world with only one rule— expose the fae and suffer the consequences. But navigating this piranha-paradise to hunt down the maniac responsible for her transformation is likely to kill her… or worse.

Can Dray reverse the curse before she spends the rest of her life in an orange jumpsuit?

THE HOLLOW KISS

After paying for my supplies, I walked out the back to get away from Mac’s penetrating stare. He’d sensed a change in me. I wasn’t in the mood to dodge questions.

Outside, I pulled the full cart down the alley connecting the rear of two rows of stores. The hardware place had been at one end, but I didn’t turn onto the closer side street—didn’t know if another wave of nausea would hit. The last thing I needed was the whole town knowing I had a bad hangover. Or worse. Lips were loose enough without my help.

I’d take the long way home. The side streets and back alleys of town had always been my escape route growing up. No one knew them better, except maybe the rats.

My guts contracted and forced me forward—not to my hands and knees, but stumbling toward the back door of a shop across the alley. No! No! Shit, no! My cart overturned. Somebody sauntered out of the back of the store. My heart flailed against my chest. The door banged shut. Midnight Man from earlier glanced over at me, confused, then a cocky smile lit up his face. 

The idiot thinks I’m coming on to him. I tried to scream at him to run, but my voice died in a strangled squawk.

I lunged forward, bound by the invisible force. Opening my jaw a second time, I launched myself at him. Terror crystallized in his eyes as our mouths smashed together.

We crashed to the ground next to a fence. His fingers dug into my arms, then stiffened. Body rigid, cheeks caved, the guy shuddered as I pulled my lips from his and a long trail of smoke filled my every tingling cell. I arched my neck back, swallowed, and collapsed. Spent. Whatever had filled me seconds before, that had driven me to attack this guy, now left me empty.

Scrambling away from Midnight Man’s lifeless form, I accidentally kicked his arm. I dry heaved against a fence that housed an industrial-sized garbage bin. Not having eaten—except for a few mouthfuls at Rainey’s—there was little in my stomach to come out.

I curled into a ball. The shaking rattled my teeth. It wasn’t another attack, just the aftereffects of the first.

A shadow fell over the body and hovered across my legs.

Oh my God—someone saw!

I whimpered.

Just take me away now. Toss me in prison and throw away the key. The shadow’s hand reached out. I flinched.

“Jerry, when are you going to start doing it again?”

I tried not to roll my eyes for the umpteenth time. “Stop making me repeat myself,” I answered, trying to keep my voice calm as we walked through the school corridor to the chemistry lab. “What did you think I would continue doing?”

I already knew the response I was going to get. Ugh!

“I don’t know,” said my tall friend Justin, faking a shrug. “I thought you were going to continue solving cases, you know?”

Now I couldn’t help rolling my eyes at him. Enough was enough! Leave it to Justin to continue annoying me to do something that would get him attention. “Yes, you’re right, Justin!” I made sure he took in the irritated tone of my voice. “There’s a whole pool of unsolved cases out there just waiting for me to dive in!”

“Maaaaybe,” Justin sang. I shot him a look. He answered with a smile, brushing away a strand of his brown hair from his forehead. “Who knows? You can’t be sure unless you try.”

“You do realize it’s only been a couple of weeks since we solved the Devona case, right?”

I tried not to remember an incredibly weak Devona all tied up in a chair. Her blood being drawn by her captor with a syringe. If only I had figured it out a bit sooner. She would have lived—

“I know, I know.” Justin’s voice snaps me back to reality. We were outside the lab.

“Sure you do,” I said sarcastically, pushing my glasses back up my nose. Even though Justin had been annoying me for the past few weeks about solving more cases, in a way, I kind of appreciated his annoyance keeping me busy and stopping me from continuously remembering Devona’s face.

Justin took a deep breath. “Fine, I’ll give it a rest.”

“Thank you.” I faked a smile and mentally started to count down the time until Justin would bring up the same topic again. I entered the lab. The rest of the class was already there. I saw my childhood friend Ashley Burro-way, Ash for short, near one of the working stations. Her brown hair was tied up in a tight knot.

“Justin still wanting you to take on another case, Sherlock?” she asked with a smile, handing me a lab coat as I came closer.

I nodded, taking the coat from her. It took me a second to get accustomed to the smell of the chemicals all around me. I thought I was going to sneeze. But didn’t. Ash put on her safety goggles and opened her textbook. “If you ask me—” She looked straight at me. “—I don’t ever want to go through all of that again.”

“I hear you,” I said. Not knowing what else to say to her, I looked around. Justin was talking to some boys in our class. I knew the only reason Justin wanted me to take on another case was because he missed the attention it gave him. The moment the Somerville High newspaper published my story about solving the Devona case, the entire high school basically went wild. It was the first time the paper was read by the entire student body. The police did a good job when it came to keeping the local media away from me and my friends, but it was tough avoiding the sea of students and the faculty while at school.

Justin took the opportunity to break the ice with his crush, Lucy Broadway. My other friend, Nick Perez, enjoyed the attention, too, but not as much as his best friend, Justin, did. Ash had addressed the attention targeted at her by putting up a defensive air and simply avoided answering any of the questions she was asked about the case at school. The last member of our little group, Kate Williams, who already had an I-don’t-care attitude going on, did just that…just didn’t care. Due to the reputation she had already cemented, the students knew not to approach her unless she directly gave them permission to ask her a question.

The bombardment of questions I faced the day the paper was released was a lot to handle. “How did you figure it out? Did the police help you crack the case? What’s next?”

I answered the questions I could. And fortunately, like everything else in this world, interest dwindled and people started to talk about other stuff after a couple of days. Apparently the mystery-of-the-week plots occurring on the current famous TV shows were better than the real thing. None of us were affected by the dying attention except for Justin. On the fourth day, Justin shared his fear. According to him, Lucy was losing interest in him even though I told him it was just him being presumptuous, and he needed to work on his confidence. And frankly, let’s assume, if Lucy was indeed the kind of girl who only liked Justin because of the attention he was getting from the rest of the school, then she wasn’t the type of person he should be wasting his time with anyway.

Of course, Justin didn’t listen.

“Jerry, where are you?” Ash snapped her fingers in front of my eyes.

“Huh?” I blinked.

“Seriously, Jerry,” she said in a concerned voice. “You’re kind of spacing out more than usual. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” I saw Ash purse her lips. I knew what she was going to say. Ever since the Devona case, Ash had been bringing up therapy. She wanted me to talk to a professional after what Tom did to me. Ugh! That name!

Thankfully, our chemistry teacher, Miss Ophilia Patience, walked into the laboratory and Ash, like the rest of the class, kept quiet. Miss Patience wasn’t the kind of instructor the students wanted to cross. She looked at the class. No one said anything. After giving a quick nod, she started writing on the board behind her.

I looked around the lab again and realized someone was missing. “Where’s Nick?” I asked Ash. Her gaze was on the board, copying every single word Miss Patience was writing. I noticed Justin looking back at us from a few workspaces ahead. He averted his gaze when we made direct eye contact. I wanted to bet a hundred dollars he thought Ash and I were talking about taking up another case without telling him.

It took a few seconds for Ash to respond as she continued scribbling. “Don’t know.”

Weird, I thought. It wasn’t like Nick to miss class without telling us. Even if he did skip class, he and Justin always did it together. I tried not to think about it too much and looked at what Miss Patience was writing on the board.

Surprise! It was boring.

Time dragged on as Miss Patience talked about ways to influence chemical reactions. As far as I could tell, heating different materials up seemed to do the trick for a lot of them. Want to see something change? Try heating up the molecules!

And speaking of things heating up, I guess the same thing was going to come true for me and my friends soon enough. There was no way we could’ve avoided what was coming for us. But at that time, in the chem lab, with Ash busy writing notes next to me, none of us had the faintest idea about the domino effect that had already begun. I do sometimes wonder about what I could’ve done if I had known more back then.

Hidden myself in my house? Not talk to anyone ever? Resigned from my position as a contributor at the school’s newspaper?

But wondering about such possibilities didn’t matter anymore.

What was done was done.

Come Home to Death

"A master of the mystery and suspense genre.”
—Midwest Book Review

Erica Parker has barely been a bride nine months when two thugs show up at her apartment while her husband is away on one of his infamous business trips, claiming he owes their boss a large gambling debt. Frightened for her life, and without any other options, she heads for her childhood Long Island home she escaped three years ago. And swore never to return.

The aunts who raised her are as interfering and controlling as ever, but soon as the family attorney advances the rest of her trust from her parents’ life insurance, she can return to normalcy. Except he refuses, instead spouting nonsense about how, if she waits, she will soon inherit millions. On her twenty-fifth birthday.
Problem is, someone doesn’t want her to live that long.

Her aunts are harboring secrets, people are turning up dead, her husband is nowhere to be found, and someone’s trying to kill her. It appears you can go home again, but sometimes, you shouldn’t.

Bang. Bang. Bang. The door rattled like a 7.0 earthquake.

“Allyson Marta?”

“Yes?” she croaked, placing her hand on the doorknob.

“I’m Detective Davidson. I need to ask you a few questions. May I

come in?”

Allyson’s neck and shoulders visibility tightened as if she could mag-

ically shrink herself into a tiny ball.

Grace went over and placed a hand on her back. “Just breathe.”

“I’m too stoned for this,” she whispered.

“Ms. Marta?”

“Yeah, yeah. Give me a second.” Allyson paused, her hand on the

knob, before yanking the door open to an average-height, middle-aged man dressed in the typical off-

the-rack suit he probably bought at some big box retailer on sale. She leaned against the door jamb,

blocking his entry.

“ID, please.” She trusted no one and always assumed the worst in people. Once he proffered his

credentials and she gave them a casual glance, she allowed him to enter. Even though he was average

on the outside, his presence filled the room. She and Grace observed him scanning her shelves neatly

lined with knickknacks and failed art projects as if he were Hercule Poirot.

“How can I help, Detective?” she asked, scratching a nonexistent itch on her arm.

Davidson walked toward a console table with pictures arranged by size and age. Picking up a 4x6 gilded

frame, he turned and held it out. “Is this you?”

“Who does it look like?” Grace hissed.

“I’m sorry. You are?” Davidson asked.

Ignoring his question, Grace cautioned, “Listen, Detective, unless

you have a warrant, state your business, and go. We are a protected class. Hispanic and emotionally

challenged. Harassment is frowned upon by our treatment teams.”

Glowering, he turned to Allyson. “Is this your sister, Andrea Marta?”

“Yeah. That’s her and me at my last exhibit. She loves the camera.” Allyson played with an errant string

on her shirt hem, noting to clip it later. Biting her lip, she lowered her head where her eyes caught the

misaligned seam of her left sock. Suddenly, everything seemed malapropos.

“It’s hard to believe we are identical twins when you look at that pic- ture. It was like five years ago, and

I’ve been going through a rough patch,” she admitted, rubbing her hand along the top of her head.

Allyson had gained thirty pounds from the drug cocktail she’d been prescribed and chopped her long

tresses, leaving only an inch or so in place. Most days, it stuck out in random spikes. To add dimension

and fun, she’d dyed it her favorite color, a soft lavender. She had also plucked her eyebrows and

eyelashes out one by one as a non-scarring form of self-harm six months prior. They had yet to grow

back. Slow hair growth was a surprise, unadver- tised side-effect of her meds.

“What’s this about anyway? Is she in trouble?” she edged, chewing at a cuticle on her right hand.

“Your sister’s employer, H0rr Studios, has reported her missing. Have you heard from her or seen her

recently?”

“Do you have any idea where she might go? Anyone she would stay with, off the grid, say?”

An icy chill hugged her shoulders despite being seventy-five degrees inside her apartment, and she

narrowed her gaze at Mr. Average. His ques- tions didn’t feel right to her. “Let me check my wonder

twin powers and see,” she scowled and pretended to check her smartwatch.

“I told you my life was rather tragic this last year. Did I mention her visiting? Just because we share the

same DNA does not give me insight into her life. If her employer reported her missing, they have more

information on the ins and outs of it than I do. However, leave your card, and if some- thing comes up,

I’ll call,” she offered dismissively.

Grace regarded Allyson and grinned, appreciating her out-of-char- acter assertiveness.

Detective Davidson handed the picture frame to Grace before giving Allyson his business card. “My cell

is on the back. If anything comes to mind, no matter how small, text me along with her case reference

number.”

“Sure,” she answered in an “I’ll get right on that” tone. Then she opened the door to encourage

Davidson’s exit.

Before stepping across the threshold, the detective stopped and turned to face the two occupants, “Oh!

I almost forgot. Do you know Roger Wotke?” “The Caretaker guy?” she asked, curling her lip and

wrinkling her nose.

“Yeah.”

Allyson shrugged. “He works with Andrea. Oh, and I think he’s in town. Comic Con’s this weekend.”

“Yeah, he is. That freak of hotness,” Grace added dreamily. “Got me tickets for a meet and greet!”

“What does he have to do with my sister missing?” Roger and Andrea had a relationship but kept it

casual and confidential. As much as she hated Andrea, she wasn’t about to give out anything that wasn’t

anyone’s business but their own.

“It’s hard to say. Yet a guy who has played a psychopath for over ten years and wears his costume in

public to hide his real identity is someone worth looking into, I’d say.”

Grace laughed. “Don’t kid yourself, Detective. We all wear costumes to hide our true nature. Even you.”

Then they shut the door in his face.

Death in the Orchard The Trudy Genova Manhattan Mysteries Book 3 by M.K. Graff Book Tour! @SilverDaggerBookTours

 

 Nurse Trudy Genova mixes her movie studio consulting

 work with her nose for murder!  

Death in the Orchard

The Trudy Genova Manhattan Mysteries Book 3

by M.K. Graff

Genre

 Mystery, Police Procedural, Amateur Sleuth

The third Trudy Genova mystery from award-winning author M. K. Graff brings Trudy home, leaving her New York City studio consulting job to visit her rural hometown of Schoharie, three hours north. NYPD detective Ned O'Malley accompanies Trudy, primed to meet her family, but with a secret mission to find out what really happened when her father died eleven years ago.

Mario Genova's death was deemed a tragic accident, but Trudy feels there was more to her beloved father acting out of character the day before he died. After years of hard work building a successful apple orchard business with her mother, Mario cleaned out their bank accounts. No reason-and no money-was ever found. As Trudy and Ned try to investigate without informing her family of their actions, a new death occurs on Genova Orchards property, and once again Trudy's family is under scrutiny.

"A welcome and forceful return of MK Graff's Trudy Genova, Death in the Orchard is a well- crafted and thought-provoking story of unexplained death and cold-blooded murder, as Trudy sets out to solve the death of her father with her NYPD boyfriend Ned O'Malley. The couple return to the Genova family orchards to dig into the past as the present threatens to shake the family to their very core.

Graff deals us a cold case of family intrigue, a small-town conspiracy, and a terrifying leap into the unknown, as her heroine comes face to face with a secret she thought would never be told, a case impossible to solve, and a dogged determination to finally get to the truth.

A masterclass in laying the threads bare and knitting them together in a satisfying conclusion."

Death at the Dakota

The Trudy Genova Manhattan Mysteries 2

 Nurse Trudy Genova is making plans to take her relationship with NYPD detective Ned O'Malley to the next level when she lands a gig as medical consultant on a film shoot at the famed Dakota apartment building in Manhattan, which John Lennon once called home. Then star Monica Kiley goes missing, a cast member turns up dead, and it appears Trudy might be next. Meanwhile Ned tackles a mysterious murder case in which the victim is burned beyond recognition. When his investigations lead him back to the Dakota, Trudy finds herself wondering: how can she fall in love if she can't even survive?

Readers of Death Unscripted, the first book in the Trudy Genova Manhattan Mystery series, will find the same pleasures in this sequel: fast pacing, engaging characters, twists and turns on the way to a satisfying close. Once again M.K. Graff reveals her talents in crafting this delightful mix of amateur sleuth and police procedural.

Part procedural, part cozy, Death at the Dakota is a well-crafted and highly entertaining mystery.- Bruce Robert Coffin, #1 bestselling author of the Detective Byron mysteries.

I fell in love -- not only with co-protagonists, Trudy and Ned, the richly detailed and historic setting of The Dakota, and the unique cast of characters, but with the unusual plot of Death at the Dakota. Sherry Harris, Agatha Award nominated author of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale Mysteries

Death Unscripted

The Trudy Genova Manhattan Mysteries Book 1

 Trudy Genova has the best job any nurse could want, working on set as a medical consultant for a NY movie studio. No more uniforms, bedpans or emergencies, until at the actor whose overtures she's refused dies suddenly while taping a hospital scene--but not before pointing his finger accusingly at Trudy. When detectives view Trudy as a suspect, she sets out on an investigation to clear her name. Then a second death occurs, and Trudy realizes she's put herself in jeopardy.

A new mystery from the award-winning author of the Nora Tierney English Mystery Series, DEATH UNSCRIPTED is based on the authors' real work experience during her nursing career and is the mystery series British Queen of Crime P. D. James insisted she write. A mix of amateur sleuth and police procedural, the story is told in first person from Trudy's point of view, and in third from NYPD Detective Ned O'Malley

Marilyn Chris, Obie and Drama Desk Award-winning actor who played Wanda Wolek on ABC's soap "One Life to Live" notes: "Graff gets behind the scenes of soaps just right, as well she should--she was there!"

Edith Maxell, national bestselling author of multiple mystery series says: "Your blood pressure will soar during M. K. Graff's new Manhattan Mystery, as nurse Trudy Genova takes the pulse of a killer during a soap opera filming in Death Unscripted. You won't even think about changing the channel during this smart, suspenseful mystery."

And Triss Stein, author of the Erica Donato Mysteries, has this to say: "Soap opera drama is as intense on the set as it is on the screen. Sometimes Trudy Genova, consulting nurse, feels like the only sane person in the room. Join her as she copes with huge ego, daily melodrama, an attractive detective, and life in New York . . . plus murder.
