  Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club? 
  What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused… 
  To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland. Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear. 
  Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice. 
  While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all. 
  Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery.

  Investigating a mysterious firefight in Colombia leads a journalist into a world of corrupt churches in this gripping thriller by the author of Necropolis. 
   
  When a horribly violent confrontation occurs outside of Cauca, Colombia, only a young boy is around to witness it. But no sooner does the violence happen than it disappears, vanished without a trace. Nobody claims to have seen anything. Nobody claims to have heard anything. That is, until an anonymous accusation catalyzes a dangerous investigation into the deep underbelly of the Christian churches present today in Latin America. The Night Will Be Long is a dark, twisting thriller filled with moments of humor and pain—a story that will stick with readers long after they turn the last page. 
   
  Praise for The Night Will Be Long 
   
  “This intelligent police procedural from Gamboa . . . refracts decades of turbulent Colombian history through the experiences of dramatically drawn characters. . . . a colorful story with solid grounding in historical detail.” —Publishers Weekly 
   
  “For my money, there may be no more ambitious, accomplished writer than Gamboa at work in international noir today. Gamboa brings a searching, penetrating style to the prose and unwinds a genuinely compelling and provocative story that interrogates the very nature of violence and truth.” —Crime Reads 
   
  “An engrossing thriller set in a modern-day Colombia haunted by the legacy of decades of armed conflict. . . . Gamboa has crafted an effective thriller that thrives on his empathetic imagination.” —Shelf Awareness

  🐑 Sheep farmer and fiber mill owner Wooly Goodfellow is preparing for the annual Fleece Show when the show's head judge—a notorious fleece grader with a sharp tongue—is found dead in her barn, buried under a mountain of premium fleeces. The police suspect a tragic barn accident, but Wooly notices the fleeces have been deliberately stacked to collapse and the victim's grading notes contain coded comments about fiber fraud. With her farm under investigation and the fiber community buzzing with suspicion, Wooly must herd together the facts. Assisted by her farming neighbors and the handsome textile scientist analyzing fiber samples, Wooly uncovers a scheme involving fleece substitution, fraudulent micron counts, and a black market for stolen championship wool. From suspicious staple lengths that reveal blended fibers to grease content that doesn't match the breed, every lock of wool tells a story. But when Wooly discovers the victim was systematically downgrading premium fleeces to buy them cheaply and resell them at massive profits, she realizes the killer is protecting small farmers from a woolly web of deception. With the fleece show approaching and the real culprit still shearing secrets, Wooly must card through the evidence before her own farm gets fleeced for good.
