Okay, deep breath. After talking your ears off about this one for what feels like forever, Murder at the Savoy—the first book in my Lucien Knight Mysteries series—is officially available for preorder! Cue the dramatic noir saxophone.
This series has been brewing in my head for ages: picture 1930s Chicago, a haunted nightclub, a skeptical detective with a knack for attracting the supernatural, and just enough danger to make you check behind your curtains at night. It’s detective noir with a paranormal twist, served with a splash of whiskey and a dash of ghostly menace. Lucien Knight is the kind of man who would rather mind his own business, but trouble (and the occasional ghost) keeps finding him anyway.
If you’re an ebook reader, the preorder is live and waiting for you—but if you’re more of a hold-it-in-your-hands kind of person, the paperback and large-print paperback are already up on my web store. And yes, for those loyal to the Big A, the paperback’s available on Amazon too (as always, the Large Print edition is a web store exclusive on my site).
It’s such a weird feeling seeing it out there—the book that’s been haunting my to-do list for months is now an actual thing you can buy. I’m equal parts thrilled, nervous, and slightly caffeinated. Below is the official cover reveal, which I am completely obsessed with. It nails that smoky, vintage atmosphere I’ve been chasing since page one.
Thanks to everyone who’s followed along while I muttered about plot holes, ghosts, and suspicious detectives in fedoras. You’ve been my sanity through the chaos.
