Although the next book in Lindsay Buroker's series The Emperor's Edge will not be out until sometime this spring she has a little treat for her fans. A short story The Assassin's Curse is now available to help us make it to spring.
The story features the two main characters in The Emperor's Edge books, Amaranthe and Sicarius. While training on an inlet they hear an explosion and discover an army steam tramper has been destroyed. When they see a male and female leaving the area in a boat carrying part of the tramper they follow. The couple flees to Darkcrest Isle, rumored to be haunted. Some amazing things happen on the island and we learn more about Sicarius in the process.
Although this story is short it is also packed with adventure and chilling moments. Lindsay mentions on her website that it was written over Halloween. The haunting spirit of that time of year shines through. If you love The Emperor's Edge books this is a must read. If you have not gotten around to trying them this story will stand alone; it would be a good introduction.
The price and availability make it too easy to skip. For under a dollar you can download it from Smashwords, Barnes & Noble or Amazon. If you would like to read more about Lindsay's other work check out her website.
Don't miss this great story!

Day 12 Christmas Story
Today I am suggesting a mystery, Murder Trims the Tree by Deb Baker. It is one of her Gertie Johnson Mysteries.
Gertie and her friends, all amateur detectives, have been sentenced to community service for interfering with a previous legal matter. They choose to do their service at a local assisted living facility, at Christmas time, thinking it will be fun and easy and because they are running out of time. Gertie also hopes that her mother-in-law will like the place so much that she will want to stay. A friend of the mother-in-law, Earl, is even a resident there.
When they arrive the director is less than pleased to see them, especially Fred who is Gertie's dog. First a blizzard hits, making it impossible for them to leave, then the phone lines go out. A resident tells them that people are dying but she is not taken seriously--until the director disappears. After a wonderful lunch almost everyone falls into a drugged sleep, even Fred. Things go down hill from there. You won't regret the time you spend reading this humorous mystery for the holidays.
Murder Trims the Tree has some interesting characters and is a fun read. It has gotten good reviews and the price is right. Digital copies are running around $1.00. Blacklist offers it in Nook, Kindle and Smashwords formats. It can also be purchased at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.
