A Justicar Jhee Mystery
Oh my, my, so unreal. No progress on the novella or Book 3, because….
BOOM! Justicar Jhee and the Cursed Abbey is available for pre-order!
On her way from the remote district she lives in, to the Imperial capital, Justicar Jhee and her family’s yacht is damaged, and they are forced to halt for repairs at a secluded abbey.
With communications disrupted they are invited to stay by the abbess but soon their visit takes a frightening turn when Jhee sees a masked figure acting suspiciously.
Dismissed as ghosts by the others, Jhee’s natural instinct is to investigate and she discovers that the previous abbess and several novices had died under suspicious circumstances and rumors abound of an ancient cult, risen once more and led by a figure called the Mist Abbess.
As she digs ever deeper into the mystery she discovers even more shocking revelations, with refugees from the sea going missing and smugglers, human traffickers and anarchists operating at will.
There is more the abbey than meets the eye and soon Jhee’s life is threatened by the malevolence that stalks its confines. Trapped by circumstances and with no way for help to arrive, can she uncover the truth before she or her family become the next victims of the dark forces that lurk just out of sight?
Raise the roof. Eat some pie. Have a drink.
The work continues. I’m almost editor ready. Next week. Maybe. Or early September. I have a two chapter preview available here:
Book 3’s on hold, for the moment. I’m also taking a few days off at the end of the month. That means no blog post next week. After that, I’ll continue my push to release the trilogy by year’s end. Miss Swift out.
Have a lovely day!
