Featured Book: The 7th Lie
Agent Sabine Harper is thrilled to receive her first mission—until she learns what it is. Turns out, all she has to do is save the world from certain destruction. And she has two weeks to do it.
Continue reading “Christmas in July Spotlight: Tamara Grantham”Once again, I contributed a story to the Brave New Girls anthology, which benefits college scholarships awarded by The Society of Women Engineers.
I was pleased to see the list of authors this time with a bunch of interesting titles. Including Mary Fan’s sci-fi retelling of one of my favorite fairy tales, The Twelve Dancing Princesses.
This year’s edition is called Brave New Girls: Adventures of Gals and Gizmos and it includes my new short story, Let the Numbers Show Truth.
I’m excited for you to meet Stella Purser, the “gal” of the story, and see the future Earth I’ve built for her adventure.
Stella is one smart cookie. Armed with a passion for figuring probabilities and an extraordinary attention to detail, she sets out on her first day as the youngest intern at the First Intergalactic Bank and Trust.
After a rocky first impression with the bank manager, she thinks her day can’t get worse.
She is wrong. Very wrong.
Upon the arrival of an alien dignitary, a bomb goes off in the heart of the bank. When Stella and the mischievously charming junior security officer, Fox, are among the few that are clear of the blast, it’s up to them to secure the bank and track down the bomber.
Did I forget to mention that the bank is underwater?
The paperback is available from some stores now. The ebook releases July 9. You can order/preorder now.
Tradition time!! The week after each release, I share the fun little somethings hidden (most times in plain sight) in the book, plus provide some commentary extras. So here goes…the Easter Eggs for Wrong Side of the Storm.
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS…
So many things to catch up on. The past few months have been wonderful chaos.
Wrong Side of the Storm, the second in the Mothman Mysteries, is coming out April 8th. My plan for these mysteries is that they will be standalones that can be read in any order. So, if you didn’t pick up Wrong Side of the Grave, no worries.
In Storm, Eric a.k.a. Mothman and his human best friend, Bridget, are separated during an attack on the men in black’s base. The attack, in the form of a constantly-shifting, lethal storm, forces the base into lockdown with a countdown to self-destruction.
For a long while, I wrote it under the working title of Rock Me Like a Hurricane, (which gave author Terry Maggert a chuckle when I mentioned it to him), but I ultimately decided to stick with the Wrong Side of the … naming convention.
Though a standalone, those who delved into Grave will have a tad more backstory. Get your first look at Duey as human and Miranda North as a … well, I don’t want to give any spoilers. You can pre-order now.
Brave New Girls: Adventures of Gals & Gizmos, coming this summer, is a clean YA/middle grade sci-fi anthology that will include my original short story, Let the Numbers Show Truth. The story follows Stella Purser, the youngest intern ever hired by the First Intergalactic Bank and Trust, located safely below the waters of Lake Erie not far from the ruins of Cleveland.
Stella’s gift for figuring probabilities in seconds got her the job, but when a bomb goes off in the moon pool, all predictions go out the window. What are the chances Stella will survive her first day?
Brave New Girls is a benefit anthology with profits going to The Society of Women Engineers earmarked for college scholarships for girls choosing careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
