Justicar Jhee and the Spectral Armada
A Justicar Jhee Mystery
A Justicar Jhee Mystery
Thank you to everyone who bought a copy! As was inevitable, a few errors slipped through into the published version. I uploaded corrected versions on Monday. Because most of my sales were via ebook, corrections should happen automatically. The paperbacks went primarily to friends and family, so I made them aware of the changes.
My next goal with Book 1 is to release an audiobook.
On Justicar Jhee’s way from her remote home district to the Imperial capital, a wild wave damages her family’s yacht, and they are forced to halt for repairs at a secluded abbey.
With communications disrupted, the abbess invites them to stay 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. 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 to 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 sinister forces that lurk just out of sight?
I’ve gotten back up to speed here. My developmental editor is still on hiatus. So, I may skip that step. I’ve put in my order for the next cover so you will definitely see this one before the end of the year. By the end of October, if possible.
Only a handful of scenes remain in triage. Once my triage list is empty, I’ll do a full pass to get it ready for beta readers. If interested in becoming a beta reader, please send me a message via the contact page with ‘Beta Reader’ somewhere in the subject line.
Excerpt:
Join the Swiftnesse community to read the first two chapters of Book 2.
I’m chipping away at both the prequel and Book 3. But I don’t know if I can release Book 3 by the end of the year.
That’s all for now. Have a lovely day!
