 GIFTS FOR READERS

Brad Coulter has really done it this time!

 GODDESS OF JUSTICE
By Calgary’s Own Dwayne Clayden

The official book launch will be April 22, 2021 at Owl's Nest Books in Calgary with the title available in digital and print formats across all platforms

A series of seemingly unrelated deaths have occurred around the city. When one is an obvious homicide, Detective Brad Coulter gets the case. 

Coulter has barely started investigating when more murders take place. It is clear that the killer not only understands Crime Scene Unit protocols but also has special forces military skills—or training in a Tactical Unit. 

During the investigation, Detective Coulter realizes he has a connection to some of the victims. Then the Crime Scene Unit discovers evidence that points to Coulter as the murderer. 

Now hunted by his own police service, he has to clear his name.

But the killer has other plans.

Heretics by V. S. Holmes

Book 4 of 4: Stars Edge: Nel Bently

The fourth book in V. S. Holmes’ archaeological sci-fi series about where we come from
and where we’re going arrives in stores on May 8th, 2021!

Without Earth, Nel has nowhere left to run.

Hot-tempered Dr. Nel Bently is not cut out to save the world. After her last project ended in fire and death, Nel must put aside her distrust of just about everyone and embark on a lo-fi search for a deadly radio transmission. 

Earth’s survivors are torn between the austere superpower of IDH and the high-tech grassroots Los Pobledores. At every turn more allies go missing and Nel questions where everyone’s true loyalties lie--and on which side Lin will fall when a line is finally drawn.

They need experts. They need firepower. But it looks like the only thing standing between Earth and devastation is Nel: archaeologist, asshole, and functioning alcoholic with anger issues.

THE ARTIST By Christie Stratos

 HISTORICAL SUSPENSE AT ITS BEST

A SHORT STORY FROM THE DARK VICTORIANA COLLECTION

The short story will be available worldwide in digital across all platforms!

An ad in the newspaper. A Civil War veteran in need. An artist companion. One of these things is not what it seems.

Miss Grant’s sole purpose in life is to help Civil War veterans by painting portraits of them to reveal the beautiful souls beneath their injuries. She has met many exceptional men through answering their newspaper advertisements for a companion.

But the latest veteran, the beautiful Mr. Markham, is strange. He has no debilitating injuries, simply a long, deep scar on his face—nothing more. His isolation from society and his demands to be treated as an invalid defy belief. Why does he choose to suffer when he could enjoy a fulfilling life?

Something else is wrong with Mr. Markham. And by the time Miss Grant figures it out, it may be too late to escape.

The Artist is a surprising Civil War-era suspense story that will keep you guessing until the bitter end.
