*THE REVIEW:

Caroline D. Henry

5.0 out of 5 stars I’ve Become a Forever Fan of the Forever Detective

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023

Verified Purchase Disclaimer up front–I know the author and was a beta reader for this book, however that is a very different experience than just reading it through purely for the pleasure of it. I purchased the e-book of Forever Chosen two days ago, and I’ve zipped through it as a fun read. Reluctant vampire and dedicated detective Rafael Jones comes up against his archenemy Russian criminal vampire Rasputin who hopes to corrupt and co-opt the Zionist movement in post World War II New York. This guy is very powerful, and it’s a good thing Raf has the aid of a demonologist, a dryad, a sharp secretary, a NYPD cop, and maybe a Russian princess–and you will find yourself hoping that’s enough. Helen Krummenacker successfully combines the detective noir genre with elements of fantasy and legend. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Also, if you’re a fan of Smashwords here’s another piece of news…

Sound Sample Saturday – Forever Festive Chapter 14 and Other News…

Sometimes you get a sneak peek at the next book cover, but every once in a while, it gets a sneak peek at you…

I thought you might enjoy this little peek at the cover for “Forever Chosen” the next installment of the Forever Detective Series. In “Forever Chosen” will bring back a number of familiar faces, both friends and foes, as well as a couple of new faces (unless you’ve been reading “W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever” which is also available in both e-book and paperback formats).

When it comes to book covers, I work closely with Allan to come up with the images, going so far as to actually doing some of the artwork in the final product along with him. Allan often turns to me to ask what kind of subject matter I want to see used in the image. I’ve like to aim for covers with a bit of a ‘vintage feel’. Specifically, I want a cover that has a bit of a nostalgic feel to it. One that takes you back to the days of the old pulp magazines that once covered the walls of a newspaper stand. And between the two of us, I like to think we achieve that effect. I hope you agree and enjoy the images that we come up with.

I also insist that any image that goes on the cover, is a scene or a mix of events that actually happen in the story itself. Or as in the case of “Forever Festive” an image that captures the spirit of the story within the book. Currently, Allan is working on the cover of “Forever Chosen” (as displayed at the top of this entry) and once he has it finished, he’ll be putting the rest of the book into the correct format for publishing. In the meantime, we’ll be preparing a book trailer for you, at which time he’ll start to work on the audio version of the book. So stay tuned to this blog for more news and giveaways coming soon…

In the meantime, I have another audio chapter from “Forever Festive” for you to enjoy.

Cover Reveal…

This artwork is a collaboration of Allan and me. I had the concept but was having trouble with the execution. Allan’s better with this style and volunteered to do it. He did want me to put in the little bats flying over the moon, though. I also help a bit with color. The book will be released June 1st.
