August 25, 2026. We’re days away from the release of the next book in my steampunk mystery series. I’m awaiting word from the printer that book boxes have shipped. In the meantime, I’m taking orders from those who want author-signed copies. Details on that are over on the Signed Books tab.
Cursed to lie, Weller learns he can detect a lie.
Sherlock Holmes can hardly refuse when he’s summoned to the palace to consult on a dognapping case. He brings along Varti Weller, who’s compelled to lie because he’s folk-spelled. In the midst of their investigation, a new knack comes to light. Varti can tell when someone else is lying. So he knows that the Selcouth Queen isn’t telling the truth. Or at the very least, she’s left out an important detail about the reason she needs Holmes’s expertise.
Newcomb is besieged. Enzo fulfills his duty. Arty expands his crew. Kel spills royal tea. And the Hound is back on the hunt.
A steampunk mystery. An alternate history
Cozy suspense with a paranormal twist.
