New Works By Previous Guests:
From Katharine Wibell
The Guardian’s Speaker (Vol 6)
Threats come in many forms. Sometimes, they are unforeseen…
Ever since Líf freed the slave, her life has been in peril. Now, an unknown world awaits the young woman and her family. Other realms have harbored vile creatures, vengeful giants, and vicious elves who have baited, tracked, and pursued the small band of survivors like animals for slaughter. Many on this wretched odyssey have been killed, others wounded; all are exhausted. Have the gods forsaken them?
Is this journey worth the unceasing dangers that they have faced and those yet to come? It must be so. Failure would dishonor the Lothbranson name forever, but that would pale against the demise of all humankind. Líf continues to persevere. She refuses to give up. Whatever horrors this world might reveal, she will face them alongside her siblings. The Norns be with them…
And from A.F. Stewart
The Ghostly Tower (Book 1)
Meet Heyward and Andersen, consulting detectives in a paranormal London you never imagined…
Elspeth Heyward has never met a puzzle she didn’t want to solve, or an adventure she didn’t relish. Taking Sherlock Homes as her benchmark, she is determined to be the best detective and monster hunter in London.
Lars Andersen’s ambitions aren’t nearly as demanding. He just wants to stay alive, out of trouble, and out of jail. But when your partner likes guns and dynamite, that could be a challenge. Can he survive his new employment?
The Case: Discover if a stone tower on their client’s estate is haunted. It should be straightforward, but ghosts aren’t all they find. When they dig up a body, they also unearth a murder and a tangle of secrets. Secrets they’d better unravel quickly before someone else dies.
