    A 1920s cosy aboard a yacht on the Scilly Seas 
    Golden-age gadabout Anty Boisjoly, his valet Vickers, the weary and wary Inspector Wittersham, and a passenger list of howling eccentrics find themselves prey to the sway and spray of the Scilly Seas when what at first seems a simple, unexplainable, locked-stateroom murder twists into a tale of pirate treasure, perilous weather and treacherous endeavours at sea. 
    Just as with all Anty Boisjoly stand-alone stumpers, Mystery and Malice aboard RMS Ballast is best enjoyed by those who can stand some slight silliness in their maritime mysteries. 
    Anty Boisjoly Mysteries are old-school, clean and cosy, locked-room mysteries with improbable plots inspired by Agatha Christie written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse.

    What if one orphaned Latina's truth could shift everything, we think we know about who on earth matters—and why? 
    A girl the world forgot. 
    A truth no one saw coming. 
    A story that might change us all. 
    The world treated her as necessary collateral damage. 
    She answered with music-a response of rediscovering humanity. 
    In a world growing numb to cruelty. The original human Beings tell the inspirational story of a girl named Never- a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She is fighting to simply stay alive. 
    She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero - but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror. 
    It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after - only truth.  She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dumps’ foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch. 
    She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime Lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her. 
    And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight - until she made him believe in something more dangerous. 
    It is a high concept saga infused with magical realism. 
    It echoes with mythic power of new approach to Voltaire's Candide meets Cervantes Don Quixote's man of La Mancha. 
    This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster. 
    "The title —The Original Humans —got me. I had to discover the world Tim White was talking about. Brace yourselves, the ride is harrowing yet hopeful."   - Yareli Arizmendi 
    “A masterpiece from one of the best storytellers on the planet.”  - Jodi Garza CEO, flyalaskaseaplanes.com

    “Just when I think I couldn’t love another Pamela Fagan Hutchins novel more, along comes Ava.” 
    Ava Butler dreams of giving her daughter a better life—one built on island pop songs, late-night gigs, and a breakout moment that changes everything. When a temporary office job turns into a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a New York record deal, Ava is finally ready to chase her future. 
    Then she finds a dead body outside her office building. 
    The victim is a sex worker Ava recognizes instantly: her childhood friend. Horrified and grieving, Ava is torn between pursuing her long-awaited musical breakthrough and seeking justice for the woman no one else seems to care about. 
    When another friend is killed, Ava realizes the murders may be tied to a shared trauma she’s spent her entire life running from. As the pressure mounts, her relationship with her cop boyfriend collapses, forcing Ava to confront the pain—and the secrets—that could cost her love, her career, and her life. 
    Before Ava can step into the spotlight, she must face the darkness of her past and unmask a killer who’s getting closer with every song she sings. 
    Bombshell is the first book in the Ava Butler Trilogy—a sexy, fast-paced romantic mystery and a standalone spin-off from the What Doesn’t Kill You super series. 
    If you like Sandra Brown or Janet Evanovich, you’ll love USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins, an up-and-coming powerhouse writer whose mysteries readers call unputdownable, spellbinding, and fast-paced.
