Grim Daze (The Grim Chronicles Book 2) by D.R. Martin

Grim Daze (The Grim Chronicles Book 2) by D.R. Martin

I intended the Grim Chronicles series for young adult fans of Harry Potter, Narnia, and Redwall. Book two continues the magical adventures of Howl, the boy wizard, and his human and animal companions in their battle for freedom. As new evils come to Grimsland, they must find new allies, stand with old foes, and tap into unimagined wonders. The story also includes chapter illustrations of scenes and characters. Your feedback is vital to improve the series. All reviews are welcome and appreciated.

Monarchs and Mendicants by Dan Groat

Monarchs and Mendicants by Dan Groat

Beware of a man who has nothing to lose.

A Navy Seal returns to St. Louis from Afghanistan suffering from PTSD and loses everything. Homeless, he wants only to find work and be left alone, but he is drawn into a group of street people who are being hunted by a serial killer and used by the local mob boss. To save himself, he must fight his way from tragedy to triumph and lead his “friends” on a journey from despair to hope.

You will be reminded why no one makes eye contact with a beggar, but you will also discover that if you do it often enough, you may eventually stare into the soul of a king, for greatness is as often concealed by the robes of monarchs as it is by the rags of mendicants.

Travel the gritty streets and alleys of an urban area trying to find food and shelter and safety without losing your identity. Search for a meaningful future. Walk with Gifford Ulrich as he finds himself and the promise of tomorrow.

What readers are saying:
•“This page-turning intense drama will keep you questioning and wondering until the very end.”
•“A story of deep and tragic truths.”
•“Profound and moving prose that you won’t forget.”
•“Gifford is an intriguing and troubled character that makes for a fantastic read.”
•“Ulrich is better than Jack Reacher.”
•”An opening to the human soul.”
•”A novel you will long remember.”
•”I could not put it down.”
•“I wish I could give it 10 stars.”
•”You won’t know how to let go once the book ends.”

The Crimson Masquerade by Vickie Britton

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

masqTrouble precedes Ardis Cole to the site of a Han Dynasty tomb in China. Dr. Yong Po, who has asked for her assistance, is being stalked by a person wearing a crimson opera mask. Ardis is concerned when her co-worker, Grant Merlin, fails to arrive at the project, and his ex-wife, Sheri, takes his place. More problems arise when Sheri is attacked on the cliffs by the same masked intruder. Ardis’ search for the tomb of emperor Sun Yan leads to ancient intrigue surrounding a captive princess, referred to in his poetry as the “Lady of White Jade.” As Ardis delves deeper into the tomb’s secret, a centuries old crime of passion is eerily replayed in the present.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A fabulous, exotic trip to China and a visit through an old tea plantation was the inspiration for this mystery set China. We were also fascinated by the many tombs which still remain unexcavated throughout China and the fascinating legends that surround them.
