An Update and Some News…

Allan here to apologize for the fact that I’ve been a big reason for Helen’s absence on this blog. We’ve been dealing with my health issues to get a firm diagnosis, as well as dealing with disability. I won’t go into great detail, but it was enough to sidetrack both of us for the last few months. 

Plus, Helen has had her own share of health issues as well, and between the two of us there’s been a lot to contend with, which has taken her away from her writing. However, she has been making progress on the next installment of the Forever Detective Series, which will be called “Forever on Broadway”. As the title implies, Rafael will be finding himself deep in a theater mystery which will also take him even deeper into the realm of the paranormal than ever before. What wonders and dangers await him? Well, you’ll have to sit tight for a while but trust me it will be worth the wait.

In the meantime, we’re happy to announce that we now have an online store at: 

The Krummenacker Library Store

I say most, because at the moment we are currently sold out of “W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever”. But we will be expecting more soon so keep checking out the site.

You’ll also soon be finding other works by Helen and myself, including personalized and signed copies of our Para-Earths Series of books. These paranormal/sci-fi books have been likened to the works of HP Lovecraft and Dean Koontz. Again, not all the books are available at this time (namely “The Bridge” is currently being re-edited due to formatting and other issues which took place when the book was switched from Createspace to Amazon). I hope to have this fully rectified by the end of this year. On the same note, each book in this series acts as a standalone tale and can be fully enjoyed individually. 

Currently, we are working on adding still more items, plus we hope to open a 2nd branch to the store… but more on that another day. 

For now, thank you all for your patience and continued visits here. And please come and check out our online store at the link provided above. So, if you or someone you know would really love one or more of these exciting stories (or even the whole set) signed by Helen, go ahead and place an order. Copies are available for mailing anywhere in the United States (although shipping rates may vary for Hawaii and Alaska – I’ll have to look into that and update the site accordingly). 

And if any of our readers from Canada or overseas would like any signed copies, I’ll be looking into what will be involved into the costs of shipping and update you all as soon as I have more information.

That’s all for now. But keep coming back here for more news and updates. Take care and Happy Reading everyone!

This November 23rd Is “Fangs-giving Day”…

After all the parades, the turkey, football games, and of course the infamous cleanup of the kitchen, there’s nothing nicer than kicking back in a chair or taking a hot bath and having a good read. But what to read?

Well, the online streaming site Kanopy.com (which is free and gives you a credit every month to choose a movie from their vast collection) has declared November to be “Noir-vember”. So how about taking a trip back to New York City in 1948. Here, you can find the office of detective/vampire Rafael Jones, whose always up to taking on a new case. Well, Helen Krummenacker has just what you’re looking for, namely brand-new installment of the Forever Detective Series.

That’s right! Rafael is back and he’s not alone. His latest case has him facing off against a couple of familiar and powerful foes, and he’s going to need all the help he can get to stop them.

Thank goodness Rafael has a few familiar faces of his own such as Medium Brown (spiritualist), and Sgt. Michael Flannery (cop and former co-worker) to help out. But even they might be enough for this one. 

Luckily for our hero, Sir Lynne Fox (the mysterious leader of the occult agency W. I. T. C. H. Hunters), has sent a couple of his agents straight to Rafael’s office door. But what kind of assistance can a monk and a cat offer our hero in dealing with a threat so big it threatens not only an entire people, but also their newly formed country as well? 

You’ll have to wait and see as the countdown to Fangs-giving begins!

And since most of us have a lot to do between now and Thanksgiving, shopping, invitations, food prep, as well as getting ready for the holidays that follow, it’s quite easy to forget about ordering a copy of “Forever Chosen”, but here’s some good news. You can pre-order your e-copy of “Forever Chosen” right now, and it will be delivered and waiting for you on your Kindle device once all the Thanksgiving festivities have concluded. Just click on the link below and give yourself something else to be thankful for this holiday.

Happy reading everyone!

Good plot with smart characters

Nice to have a story that isn’t based on the inattention or inability of the protagonists.
