A sneak peek at Raven Manor

 


Raven Manor and one of the suspects.  J. L.

A sneak peek at chapter 1 is in Teaser 5 under Pages.

The book is coming along nicely.  Over 20000 words. Nearing halfway.

One suspect remains to be questioned. 

Hanlan has been threatened.

Del Mulanti Ruv 

They are a version of the werewolf. A vampiric version. Long-lived but not immortal, their main source of nourishment is blood, though they can eat human food.  They are stronger than humans and heal faster  but otherwise look human.  Like humans there are good and bad among them.

How Novel 5

 Ghostwolf (the working title) or Raven Manor (the official title) is still coming along nicely. Over 18,000 words.

A sneak peek at chapter 1 is in Teaser 5 under Pages on the right.

I have the cover done. Has elements of classic horror and mystery. I will reveal the cover closer to publishing.

I've also been working on a FB post for the book.  A bit of a Gothic touch to it. It's not quite done.

Hanlan, the main character, seems a normal sort of cop. His new partner on the other hand is another matter. He's quiet and keeping secrets.  Hanlan is understandably wary.

And it turns out he has a right to be. One of those secrets affects the case.

But not in a way you would expect.

TheSecrets that are  involved could change the way humans look at the world. Good or Evil. It is all in the eye of the beholder.

Hanlan will have to make a choice. Human law or ...

:)

Guess you'll have to read the book to find out.

Sale!

I'm lowering the price of my sci-fi Resurgent to 99 cents for 3 days. I'm doing this to entice you to read and review it. The sale starts Sunday Aug 23.

If you're not into sci-fi, then check out my dragon fantasy The Last Dragon Kin. 

The next book is my supernatural mystery Raven Manor. It should be out by March of 2021.

Speaking of ghostwolf it is coming along nicely. Over 17,000 words so far.

Two suspects seem to be collaborating which isn't good for the investigation. Did they kill together too?

Check out Teaser 5 under Pages for a peek at Raven Manor.

How Novel 4

 Got a 5 star review on my Dragon book. That makes 3 reviews. If you've read either of my books please review. Authors love feedback.

Ghostwolf or Raven Manor whichever you prefer to call my WIP is coming along nicely. Over 16,000 words. I accidentally had it in Courier font instead of Times. So much better now. 

Chapter One is in Pages under Teaser 5. Enjoy.

Ten chapters in and only 3 of the suspects questioned. 2 men and two women. Are men the only ones capable of such violent murder? After all women are the gentler sex aren't they?

Revealing some of the mystery behind the Manor. There have been other deaths associated with the Manor as well as a few disappearances. Are the recent murders related to them or is everything just coincidence?

Is the secret Raven Manor hides the reason for everything?

Or is it just greed?

Blog status

 My blogs Time after Time and Sidereal Time are going to be frozen. I'm not going to be updating them until I get back to the books for which they're for.  I wrote an entry for each yesterday and that will be the last until I write the next Books.

I will still be updating this blog. It's my main blog as well as the blog for my mystery books. 

And I will periodically update the Alliance blog. That book is next to be written after Raven Manor.

Raven is still coming along nicely. 67 pages. And over 14,000 words.

Introduced two new suspects. So 4 all together. 

One seems a shoe in but is she? 

Another may have the means. But would he really kill his own parents?

Money seems the motive for the other two. Or is it something else for one of them?

And just what is so special about Raven Manor that it would cause all this mayhem?

Ghostwolf status

My ads have ended.

Only one sale. But 800 pages read. So not bad for 10 days.

I think I'll do another ad later on. I got to look over my finances. I had an unexpected expense for this month so I'm short.  FB groups for sure.

Raven Manor is still coming along nicely. 53 pages. Over 10,000 words.

About to introduce another suspect. Spoiler!

Is the murderer the lawyer, the client, or the stepson? Each have a motive and two have no alibi. But of course there's murder for hire.

And there's another suspect in the wings.

So who murdered the Graves?

And what is so special about Raven Manor?
