A New Series

cover of L. A. Nisula's mystery novel Deliveries and a Dead Body showing Kate and Ada looking through a door at the bodyThe first book in my new series will be coming out later this month. Kate and Ada are getting their own spin-off series. Cassie isn’t going anywhere, but Kate and Ada stumbled over a body, so they’re getting the next book. Deliveries and a Dead Body will be out on September 20. It’s slowly going up for pre-order now at a special pre-order sale price of $.99. On Sept 24 it will go up to $4.99. I’ll start adding links as I get them, until then, here’s the summary of the book.

Ada Shepherd and her wife Kate Ferris were having a perfectly normal day making deliveries for their Mayfair tinkering and haberdashery shop until they reached the Mertons’ house. There, they found an empty house, an unlocked door, and a dead body in the middle of the entryway. To make the day even stranger, by the time Ada returned from looking for assistance with a policeman in tow, the body had disappeared and the house was filled with quite the normal number of people, all while Kate had been waiting on the front step. With no body, the police won’t investigate, leaving Kate and Ada with no choice but to take matters into their own hands if they want to find out what really happened.

Kate Ferris and Ada Shepherd are partners in life and in their business, a tinkering and haberdashery shop in Mayfair, London. Somehow this leads to them stumbling over bodies and other strange happenings. Join them as they solve mysteries in a steampunk version of Victorian London in this charming spin-off of L. A. Nisula’s Cassie Pengear Mysteries.

cassieBundleCovernew copy

There will be a new box set/bundle of books 4,5, and 6 in Cassie Pengear Mysteries coming out on May 17, 2022. It will contain You can find more about the book and links to pre-order clicking here Since this is a discounted bundle already, I’m not doing a pre-order sale. It will contain A Spartan Murder, The Body in the Boxroom, A Drowning in Bath, so if you haven’t read them yet, here’s another way to get them.

I’m working on a couple of new mysteries, but I’m not sure which will be my next release yet. I’ll let you know when I know.

Cassie Pengear Book 10 – Three Bodies in London

cp10 three bodies copyaWell, that took long enough, but I have finally finished Cassie Pengear Book 10, Three Bodies in London.  It’s three novellas covering Cassie’s first three cases in London.  I didn’t do a pre-order this time, so it’s slowly rolling out to the different stores.  I have the links to the ones it’s already out at below.  I’ll add more as I get them.  And since it does take a little while for some of the stores to get the book in their system (and it did take a long time for me to finish it), the new release sale will last until the end of the year.  So it will be $.99 until the end of December, then go up to $4.99.  I hope you enjoy it!

Upcoming Sale

Hope you’re all doing well.  I’m still working on book ten.  I just wanted to let you know I’ll be having a $.99 sale on book 4, A Spartan Murder.  Officially, it starts on May 8 and lasts to May 26, 2020,  but you may see the sale price turn up sooner since I’ll set it before then to make certain it populates through in time.  I’m also lowering the price on books 2 and 3 (Death at Dinner and Stabbing Set with Sapphires) to $3.99.  So if you haven’t read them yet or know someone who might like them, now might be a good time to get them.  The Smashwords sale is still going on to the end of the month too, but I’m going to change which books are in it now that I have this sale going on.  Stay well!

Cassie Pengear Book 9: Murder Near Slaughter

cover of Murder Near Slaughter

Yes, there is finally a Cassie Pengear book 9. It’s called Murder Near Slaughter and takes place in a village in the Cotswolds . It’s available for pre-order now and it will be released September 17, 2019. Since I’m planning on doing a sale on some of the older books later this fall and that probably won’t matter much to people following this blog, I decided that, instead of the usual $2.99 pre-order/release week sale price, I’m putting it on sale for $.99 until September 21, then it will go up to $4.99. More information and links below.

Cassie Pengear was expecting a relaxing holiday in a Cotswolds village near Lower Slaughter, staying in a cottage borrowed from a friend of her landlady. She was not expecting to spend most of her first day there trying to find someone to give them the key to the cottage. And she definitely wasn’t expecting to walk in the front door and find a body on the sitting room rug. Now the local police consider her and Mrs. Albright suspects, and the London man she was counting on turns out to be Inspector Wainwright. If she wants to clear their names, Cassie will have to solve the murder near Slaughter.

A Bit of Housekeeping

Cassie Pengear Mysteries pictureJust a little bit of housekeeping.  I’ve gone through all the ebooks in the series and standardized their formatting.  Over the years, I’ve formatted a couple of different ways, and now I’ve found one method that I like (a program called Jutoh if you’re curious) so I went through and made everything the same across all the books and took care of a couple of typos that had cropped up while I was at it.  I only made one actual change to anything in the stories themselves, the name of a character who turns up in Death at Dinner and briefly in Stabbing Set with Sapphires (books 2 and 3) inadvertently shared a name with a recurring character who first showed up in a later book.  I didn’t want there to be any confusion over whether she was the same character (she isn’t) so I changed her name.  And then I didn’t want the change to cause any confusion either, so I’m blogging about it.  I did this before the recent sale on the bundle, so if you bought it during the sale, the name was already changed.  And now, back to work on book 9.

Mugs, Murder, and Mayfair out May 1

cassie mayfair draft3 copyI have the release date for Mugs, Murder, and Mayfair. It will be out on May 1, 2018 in ebook, and the print version to come soon after.  As I usually do, I’m having a pre-order/release week sale.  The ebook will be $2.99 instead of $4.99 until May 5th.  Pre-order links are below.  I’ll add more as I get them.

Cassie Pengear was expecting a quiet week helping her friends Kate and Ada inventory their Mayfair tinkering/haberdashery shop, with nothing more exciting to worry about than a shaving mug thrown through the window, hiding the evidence of a student prank, they assume. But then a body is found a few streets away, and the inspector in charge of the murder case begins to suspect Kate. Now Cassie must help her friend by finding the connections between mugs, murder, and Mayfair.

And a little bit of video I’ve been playing around with.
