The Forever Detective Series “Catch-Up” Sale is Happening NOW

WELCOME TO THE FOREVER DETECTIVE SERIES

FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS SERIES, HERE’S A QUICK OVERVIEW…

It all starts in New York City, 1947. Former police officer, Rafael Jones has returned from Europe where he oversaw a special international team who gathered evidence for the Nuremberg trials. Now he’s opened up for business as a private investigator and already has two cases lined up. But little does he know that these two cases are connected… in more ways than one.

Rafael is about to discover there’s another side to the city, and the world, that he never dreamed existed. For he soon finds himself facing the supernatural in the form of a cult run by vampires. Their leader is both surprising, and yet a historical figure who was described by his assassins as almost impossible to kill.

Sensing there’s something more to our hero, he decides to make Rafael his new ‘brother’ in blood, hoping to make him part of the plan to retake Russia as a new Tsar.

However, Rafael has other plans. Although tainted by leader’s vampiric blood, he holds on to hope and humanity. Most of all, he learns to use the new abilities that come with his condition his own way, in order to keep the innocent (both human and otherworldly) safe, one case at a time.

With each new adventure (book) he learns more about the occult world, both through strange encounters, and through research with the help of friends– largely, those who had helped the Allies in the war as a covert team (code-named W. I. T. C. H. Hunters) dealing with the supernatural. In spite of everything, he remains grounded, using interviews, money trails, and other traditional procedural steps to research his cases.

Sound Sample Saturday – Forever Festive Chapter 3 and an Apology

Allergy season came early and with a fury to Santa Cruz California this year and a lot of people have been suffering, including us. I wound up with a lung infection from all the congestion, which has slowed down my productivity. Allan has been dealing with nerve pain and trying to take care of me, so we wound up missing posting the last two weeks. But we’re back, progress is happening on book 5 “Forever Chosen” and Allan has gotten to work on the book cover for the anthology “W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever” which I hope to release just in time for summer reading. 

Chapter  3 – “Parental Warning”

Collection being planned

Allan and I love volumes that collect multiple books of a series, as it takes up less space in a book shelf. Therefore I planned to turn the first 4 novels into a volume, rather than the usual three at a time, to play off for/four with 4ever Begins. Conveniently it will have all that takes place in 1947, as Forever Chosen is set in February 1948. One of the hardest parts is deciding on the cover– I’m thinking of showcasing the comedy aspect a bit. What would you like to see for the cover? 

Please leave your thoughts and suggestions in the “Comments” section below. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Sound Sample Saturday – Forever Festive Chapter 1

Yes, we know we ran this chapter back in December, but we only took the story so far. Plus, it was 3 months ago. So we’ll be repeating those same 4 chapters over again so you can be reminded what was going on. Then we’ll be running several more chapters that you haven’t heard yet. So please sit back and enjoy. Besides, a good performance is always worthy of an encore.

“Forever Festive” Got It’s 1st Review… A 5 Star One

Sorry, no Sound Sample this weekend. Very busy week averting a strike at work, assembling a new bed, and having family over this weekend. But I thought I’d share this bit of news…

5.0 out of 5 stars First Rate Christmas Mystery with Intriguing Characters

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021Verified Purchase

I enjoy reading Christmas mysteries, and while Forever Festive would have been a good read any time it was perfect for reading Christmas week. Rafael, who is a classic sort of 1940’s detective except for an unusual twist, and Clara his British sweetheart have series of challenges to overcome before they can settle down to enjoy the holiday with Rafael’s family. Can they find and save they imperiled young woman? What secrets are hidden under the surface of the town Rafael grew up in? And is there truly magic in Christmas Eve? The great thing is the prose is pure pleasure as you wind your way through this intriguing plot.
