After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist destination, Oak Creek Valley, seems the perfect place to put the past behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget. When she finds the man who threatened to drive her out of business murdered in her shop, Carissa becomes the primary suspect, especially when her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Despite her father’s position as Oak Creek Valley’s chief of police, most townspeople assume she’s guilty.

Refusing to run again, Carissa knows she must prove her innocence to save her shop and save her father’s career when the investigating detective turns his focus on her. With suspects acting as slippery as the essential oils she distills, it’s up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out the truth before it’s too late.

Includes essential oil and reflexology tips.

The Colton Fen Series Book 1 by Marlena Frank The Man Who Dealt in Death Book Tour! @SilverDaggerBookTours#TheManWhoDealtInDeath @MarlenaFrankAuthor @authorlenafrank

The Man Who Dealt in Death

The Colton Fen Series Book 1

by Marlena Frank

Genre

 Paranormal Weird Western

Deep beneath the desert town of Peridot, something evil lurks.

Werewolf detective Colton Fen is used to strange mysteries, but when he arrives in Peridot on his latest assignment, he’s less than pleased to be assigned a partner. Rennick Dalton is a blood-drinking, illusion-wielding card shark who doesn’t have the best reputation. The two unlikely partners will have to put aside their differences if they hope to stop the horrible acts taking place beneath the streets of Peridot.

Together with the help of sharp-shooting actress Mary Silva, they’ll track the demonic creature that slithers beneath the desert. But the demon is waiting for them. It wants to turn them into one of its many disturbing minions — or add them to its grotesque collection.

Step into a dangerous and fantastic world set in the old west of 1893, where supernatural creatures and unexplainables live alongside cowboys and gunslingers. 

THE MAN WHO DEALT IN DEATH is Book One of the

 COLTON FEN series.

What AMAZON reviewers say about Apollo’s Raven

“If you mingled the history and romance of Philippa Gregory with the magical fantasy of George R.R. Martin, the result just might be the fascinating Apollo’s Raven (Curse of Clansmen and Kings Book 1) by Linnea Tanner. Get ready for a journey filled with the desires of star-crossed lovers, the horror of a son polishing his own mother’s skull and the fantasy of humans becoming creatures as a tool to save their very humanity.”

“Sorcery? Mythology? Forbidden love? An ancient curse? Yes, please! I fully enjoyed this epic tale of intrigue, deception, and love. The characters are developed well, while the plot leaves the reader wanting more.”

“What a story! I am a huge fan of "Game of Thrones," and this book grabbed me in much the same way. The author took me inside the world of ancient Romans and Celts. The imagery was compelling. I could see the characters, the weapons, the countryside, the lairs, and the castle. She stayed true to the times.”

“A love story full of intrigue, power struggles, choosing one’s fate and a doomed love, this story reminds me somewhat of an old book called “The Silver Land” by Nancy Harding or even “The Forest House” by Marion Zimmer Bradley. The undercurrents are the same as they are set in similar times, but the finer details are different enough that it only feels the same while still being uniquely its own.”

Madden (Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team, #9) by Laramie Briscoe Release Blitz!

Kindle Edition

Expected publication October 26, 2024

 From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author comes the next book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team.

Trust Laramie Briscoe to provide engaging characters in a well-built world I want to revisit again and again. Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author.

Madden

Being the newest member of the Laurel Springs Police Department and the LSERT hasn't been easy. I'm trying to carve out a place of my own where family bonds run deep in this tight-knit group of men. They haven't been unwelcoming, but I yearn to truly belong.

In both Laurel Springs, and the LSERT. The one friend I can count on is my K-9 partner, Donut. We're working hard to prove our spot in the police department, and find a sense of home.

When I'm thrust into the role of school resource officer for the local elementary school, I never anticipate being drawn into an investigation that threatens to unravel the fabric of Laurel Springs. Going back to the origins of the Moonshine Task Force. Nor do I expect a little boy with sad eyes and his hot aunt to wiggle their way into my heart.

Becca

My new life as a dispatcher is a far cry from the dreams I had before I took custody of my nephew. I've put a lot on hold to make sure he has what he needs, and the stability he craves.

But Madden? He's a beacon of warmth and strength during an emotionally cold time for me. Despite my resolve to focus just on being a guardian, there's a spark between us, igniting a flame I thought was long gone.

As we navigate what is becoming an increasingly complex situation, we discover that in the craziness of chaos, love has a way of finding its place. Even in the darkest of nights.
