The Dead Detective Released
 C.J. Thomas wishes she had never heard of Budge Dirkwood. It's not the
fact that she stumbled over his dead body when she went to meet him for the
first time, and it's not the fact that the victim's obnoxious rich cousin seems
intent on having her arrested for the murder. It's not even the fact that the
victim was a somewhat flaky pawnbroker who dabbled in the I Ching and believed
in all the paranormal phenomena that C.J.'s rational mind automatically rejects.
No, the problem is that the ghost of the victim won't leave her alone. C.J.
can't explain it, and isn't quite sure she believes it, but the ghost of Budge
Dirkwood has popped into her life, and it seems the only way she can get rid of
him is to help him solve his murder.
The Dead Detective by Lorene Robbins is available for purchase at Swimming Kangaroo.

Samhain Publishing Releases Sword of Rhoswen
 The Silver Dragon is a myth, so they say. But legends are often born from
life. When Brienna Rhoswen sets out to find the man she has given a blood vow to
marry, she never anticipates falling in love with the handsome rogue warrior.
Brogan Torrick has avoided his betrothed for one reason - fear. The rumor she's a
Mystic Healer allows his prejudice to rule his emotions. His father, however, binds him into a marriage contract with the
sorceress to garner an ally against an enemy. Meeting as strangers, Brogan believes he's never seen a more
beautiful and deadly messenger. On the journey, they struggle with an attraction they think is forbidden to them
until they learn each other's identity. Only their love may not be enough to
keep them together and a drop of blood from the Silver Dragon may doom all
Kingdoms if their enemy gets the Sword of Rhoswen.
