Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d Like You To Meet Shiarra Waynest

Posted in Books, Entertainment, Writing at 11:16 pm by JHaines

Yes, ladies and gents… it’s (sort of) here!

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

They are the Others — the vampires, mages, and werewolves once thought to exist only in our imaginations. Now they’re stepping out of the shadows, and nothing in our world will ever be the same again…

IN A TOWN LIKE THIS, BEING A P.I. CAN BE MURDER

Shiarra Waynest’s detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm — if it doesn’t kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York’s most powerful vampires.

As soon as Shiarra meets scary, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend–a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing–and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren’t always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil–whether she likes it or not…

    Congrats Jess.

    looks like a great cover. The chapters I read were enough to entice me to want more. That’s not my genre, but it’s good for one to read works by others. I mean (The Others) bwahahahaha :)

    Keep it coming. I’m excited for you.
