Patricia Fisher

Series 1: Cruise Ship Mysteries

Patricia Fisher is a much-loved character who came about during a conversation with the receptionist at a firm where the author used to work. Asked how he devised his stories, Steve proceeded to outline a character, threw in an event that would put her into a tailspin, then put her on a cruise ship and invented a murder. The idea stewed in his head for more than six months by which time he just had to stop what he was doing and write her. Now she has two separate series of books and nothing but fantastic reviews.

When you read her first ten-book cruise mystery series, you witness a woman transform from dowdy, uninspired housewife into a powerful woman with purpose as she throws off the mantle of her former life and becomes the woman she was always meant to be.

Do not miss your chance to join the adventure in this cozy mystery series.

Blue Moon Investigations

What is Blue Moon Investigations?

This was the author’s first love and the series that got him started as a novelist. First conceived in the twilight days of his Army career, Tempest Michaels was his solution to the hearing so many people comment on their own supernatural experiences.

Tempest Michaels didn’t set out to be a paranormal investigator. In fact, he firmly believes everything supernatural is utter rubbish, nothing more than the fanciful imagination of people willing to choose an improbable explanation over a rational one. across the series, he finds himself pitched against all manner of foes, from witches to ghosts and werewolves to vampires, there even a yeti for him to tackle. With the often questionable help of his parents and friends, relationship advice from Mr Wriggly, whose one-track mind is never very helpful, and constant companionship from his two dogs Bull and Dozer, his business goes from strength to strength.

It doesn’t take long for him to realise he needs another detective which is where Amanda Harper comes in. She is actually the very first character to be introduced in the first book. No sooner does he hire her, than he takes on an assistant too. Jane Butterworth also gets her own adventures and there are a lot more books to come.

So when Edgar Corey, one time FBI field agent and all-round recluse, is called upon to help the sheriff with what sounds like a supernatural case, he automatically turns him down.

Or wished he had because all too soon he’s up to his neck in a case that throws everything he believes into question. Is there something ancient and malevolent in the woods? Can he stop it if there is?

With darkness descending, Edgar must fight to get to the truth and one thing is for sure – they all wish Millie Nettles had left the thing she found in the ground.

Investigate the paranormal? Why didn’t he just say no?

The cops sure don’t think so, but whoever is behind it doesn’t like Darius poking around and if he’s not careful the so called ‘Casper Killer’ will add him to the list of victims.

Joined by an eager journalist, a loyal beagle, and a band of brothers from the pub, Darius is well and truly in the killer's crosshairs.

The Realm of False Gods

What is The Realm of False Gods?

A year in the making, this series of urban fantasy books takes the reader on a journey told through the eyes of multiple protagonists. Each of them has their own story laid out over several books. The stories overlap and intertwine as humanity races unknowingly toward a cataclysm from which there is no escape. A battle is coming, the Earth will need heroes.

Thousands of years ago, humanity was ruled over by a race of beings able to wield the Earth’s source energy, the very power that makes the planet spin. They drew on it to power their magic and took humans as familiars. Their rule was benevolent; they brought balance and harmony to the planet, keeping all creatures, both magical and non-magical, in check. The humans worshiped them as gods.

For thousands of years, they ruled unopposed, the mantle of supreme being passing down a single family line from father to son. Possessing stronger magic than any other, the supreme being also possessed ancient weapons and armour to ensure his invincibility. But an impatient son betrayed and murdered his father, releasing a death curse that split all magical creatures from the mortal realm.

Ungoverned, humanity thrived, and over time the magical beings and other creatures faded into legend, a legend that became known as religion.

But the magical beings were not dead. They were merely trapped on a parallel version of Earth, yearning to return and squabbling among themselves.

As the 21st Century gets underway, some four thousand years after they were torn from the Earth, the effects of the death curse are beginning to weaken. Soon it will fail completely. The False Gods are going to return, some have already begun to find their way through. They bring their magic with them and they expect to rule again.

No one knows about them. No one is ready. But there are a few things these false gods don’t know.
