Synopsis

Newly divorced and old before his time, a bored accountant seeks to rekindle the passions of his youth in the wilderness of Alaska. Running Wild Tours promises nine days of kayaking, camping, whale watching, and only the slight possibility of being eaten by bears. The apocalypse is definitely not listed in the itinerary.
 
The annual Halloween office party at Lamplight Electrical Supplies always throws up an alcohol related scandal or two, and the Witches' Brew punch bowl and magic show provided by the new guy in the admin team has the night off to a flyer. Then the murders start. And the cannibalism.
 
In a remote glen in the Scottish Highlands, close to a lonely loch known and feared by the locals, a policeman finds an abandoned car containing three shotguns, a rucksack stuffed with cash, and a mobile phone. On the mobile is a video confession describing a bank heist gone horribly wrong, and the terrifying consequences for the robbers.
 
Featuring green-eyed monsters, flesh eating luchadores, malevolent squirrels and evil Christmas decorations, New Devilry is D.A. Watson’s second mixed bag of fiction in all its guises, a compendium of comedy and carnage where chills and chuckles collide.
Disponible depuis: 07/08/2023.
Longueur d'impression: 264 pages.

    Four romantic short stories about heroines who are writers. 
 
"The Romance Bet": Reporter Abby James prides herself on never having read a romance novel. She thinks they're formulaic, shallow, easy-to-write drivel—until romance author Tamara Brennan challenges her to write one. Is it possible that Abby will find the outcome of that bet not so predictable after all? 
 
"Sex Sells Lesbian": Mystery writer Mara McKinney has had a crush on her editor, Hayley, for ages, even though the two have never met face-to-face. When Hayley calls her to suggest she introduce more romance into her novels, this might be Mara's chance to work on her own happy ending. 
 
"The Snow Liger": Like most cats, liger shifter Griffin hates winter . . . until her human mate Jorie asks her to help with the research for a love scene she's trying to write. 
 
"Blind Date at the Booklover's Lair": Even though Tricia pens lesbian romances for a living, she hasn't been out with a woman in forever. Her best friend sends her on a blind date in a bookstore, but the woman she meets in the LGBT section isn't who Tricia thinks she is. What will happen when the wrong date turns out to be just right?

    It's Halloween at the Baker Valley Barkery and Cafe, which means it's time for a pet costume parade. And when Maggie leaves Sam and Jack in charge of finding contestants the results are definitely...interesting.Note that this is NOT a mystery but does include the characters from the Maggie May and Miss Fancypants Mysteries series and falls chronologically after book four in that series, A Missing Mom and Mutt Munchies. It can, however, also be read as a standalone short story.

    Robert William Chambers was born on 26th May 1865 in Brooklyn.  
Chambers was educated at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, and then the Art Students' League. From there he studied in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts, and at Académie Julian, from 1886 to 1893.  His illustrative work was good and displayed at the Salon from as early as 1889.  
On returning to New York, he sold illustrations to Life, Truth, and Vogue magazines.  His career then took a dramatic turn for reasons that are not entirely clear.  His new expression was in writing.  Chambers had written his first novel in 1887, ‘In the Quarter,’ and felt that was where his time would now be best spent. 
His best-known work is ‘The King in Yellow’ (1895), a highly vivid collection of Art Nouveau short stories.  These stories are woven together by the theme of a fictitious drama of the same title, which drives those who read it insane.  
This classic of Weird fiction was a genre he would return to again in several short story collections during his career.  
Chambers was also a writer of historical fiction and wrote many, including a trilogy of novels, set during the earlier Franco-Prussian War. 
Robert W Chambers died on 16th December 1933, three days after intestinal surgery.
