    New Books

    New in January
    Deadly Age coverToday we published DEADLY AGE by Michael Paulson. This hard-boiled detective mystery is the second in the Deacon Bishop series. We published the first, DEAD ON, back in May, 2006.

    Later this month, we'll publish the award-winning OOLONG TEA AT 10:30 by Alice Reed--an intense mystery that kicks off when she discovers that the body in her lover's coffin doesn't belong to him at all.

    Remember, for the first month after publication, these books will be available for the incredibly low price of only $1. Be sure to check them out.
