  A Renaissance fair in rural Louisiana is not the kind of place you'd expect to encounter any real danger. All the dragons, jousting, sword fighting, and public executions are only make believe, right?Our favorite lettering artist, Mila Breaux, is not so sure about that. When she receives a mysterious note summoning her to hand letter the signage for the local Ren fair, some of the Dark Age performances seem to be way more realistic than she bargained for.Particularly when it comes to the trial and capital punishment of a young woman: the head artisan of the Ren fair's crafting guild.Joined by her trusty friend, Cherie Mamou, a Cajun girl who claims to talk to animals, Mila will need to get to the bottom of what is rotten in the kingdom. And she'll need to do it while steering clear of crooked royalty, fearsome knights, trained peregrine falcons, and a dime-store Shakespeare impersonator who may want to see the girls tarred and feathered! Together, Cherie and Mila seek the truth about the artisan's "mock" execution, and are met at every turn with fierce resistance.Can they figure out the mystery before it is too late, or will they fall victim to the brutality of Medieval times?

  5 Stars: "Simone is a master storyteller. Her imagination, style and understanding of human nature ensures a great experience for the reader. I love all her books. She writes sagas, with many characters, each worthy of a series and the way she intertwines their lives is just so natural. To do that with a ménage BDSM storyline is significant because most readers do not live that lifestyle. " jfsi1011 (Bookbub)

  William Evans Burton was born in London on the 24th September 1804.  
   
  Initially set for a career in the church he attended St. Paul's School in London. At 18, after the death of his father, he took charge of the family printing concern.  He established a monthly magazine, which although a failure, brought him several theatrical acquaintances which then lured him towards the stage. 
   
  For several years he acted in low comedies around the provinces before debuting, to good notices, in London.  In 1833 his own play ‘Ellen Wareham’, was, somewhat unusually put on at five different theatres on the same evening.  
   
  In 1834 his marriage of 10 years failed and he decided to relocate, by himself, to America.  He soon leased a theatre, which he renamed ‘Burton’s Theatre’, in New York.   
   
  Three years later he established, with Edgar Allan Poe as its editor, the Gentleman’s Magazine in Philadelphia and wrote one of the earliest detective stories for it; ‘The Secret Cell’. 
   
  He and Poe had a difficult relationship, added to which Burton was frequently away in acting roles in other cities.  By 1840 he had fired Poe and then sold the magazine to finance renovation work on his theatre, which some time later failed.  Burton spend much of his remaining years editing magazines and writing books. 
   
  William E Burton died on the 10th February 1860 in New York City.  
   
  He left his fortune, among which was a library of over 100,000 books, to charity.  His separated wife from decades earlier challenged the will and created legal history in eventually gaining ownership of the estate.

  The coyote howled four times. Salvador Zuni laughed, realizing he was holding his breath, then waited for another long piercing wail—hoped for another…  
  Salvador Zuni is a master carver of traditional Native American fetishes. He is also a cheat. He makes synthetic amber that rivals anything to be found in nature, complete down to the insects he places inside. His recipe is worth a fortune, and someone is after it. 
  When Ben Pecos, the new resident Indian Health Services psychologist, arrives at the pueblo, he finds himself caught up in the investigation of the murder of a trader in native artifacts and fetishes. Someone is willing to kill and use the spirits of the tribes to drive Salvador out of his mind and into prison for the crime. But something smells odd to Ben, and as he begins to investigate, he treads deeper into the mystic and the list of suspects grows longer. 
  Masterfully plotted and rich with the spirit and characters of the Southwest, Yellow Lies shows Susan Slater to be at the top of her form.
