Storytellers Episode of Ye Olde Dragon's Library: JENELLE LEANNE SCHMIDT

 

This week's guest is Jenelle Leanne Schmidt, talking about her series, the Turrim Archives, as well as her participation in a brand-new series, A Classic Retold.

Nine authors take nine works of classic literature, including Dickens and Shakespeare, and retell them in fantastical new settings.

Jenelle's book which released brand new yesterday, September 29, is STEAL THE MORROW, and retells Dickens' Oliver Twist.

Off the Bookshelf: PAYBACK IN DEATH, JD Robb

 

In Death series

Dallas and Roarke can't catch a break. What's more sure to ruin a rare, relaxing, totally deserved vacation? Yeah, another murder.

Actually, the murder takes place just as Dallas is getting back from vacation, but seriously? Totally destroy that lovely, relaxed feeling, while she's still technically on vacation by calling her to the scene of a murder.

What makes this even worse -- the murder of a cop. Staged to look like a suicide, not very well done. Most likely by someone who only knows about murder from what they see on TV.

Dallas and her team are back and determined to clear the victim's reputation and record and bring the murderer to justice. The irony is that the murder is done by someone who believes they are taking justice into their own hands. The dead cop was one of those who was devoted to his job, but respected by few because it was his job to bring dirty cops to justice. Yeah, sometimes you just can't catch a break.

Love the continued development of relationships among Dallas and Roarke's growing "family." Sometimes, the puzzle presented by the crime comes second to the relationships. This series is a guilty pleasure, because I drop everything I possibly can to have reading time, no matter my deadlines, when a new one comes out.

And now, back to the salt mines ....

Ready for another Classic Monsters anthology?

 

Coming October 15


From Ye Olde Dragon Books


He's wet

He's weird

He's in a bad mood


It's the Creature from the Black Lagoon!


12 authors get together and look at the Creature from a lot of new angles. Some of them silly, some of them scary, some of them totally twisted.

And some of them let you return to familiar settings with another story in a series from a familiar author.


Look for it in paper and ebook.
