Good morning and happy Sunday to you all. I’ve a new piece of imaginative fancy to share with you all, titled “The Rostikov Legacy” and just published yesterday. It’s already available from Smashwords and Amazon, and will hopefully make it to Barnes and Noble, iTunes, Sony etc within a couple of weeks or so.
This one is a novella (about 26k words in length), and the first title in a new series of supernatural murder mysteries set in a dark fantasy world. I was writing this one around Halloween time, when the fog was thick over Holland, and as such it turned out rather creepy indeed. Here’s a blurb:
Konrad Savast is the Malykant: foremost and most secret servant of the God of Death. His job? To track down the foulest of murderers and bring them to The Malykt’s Justice. No mercy. No quarter.
Out in the mists of the Bone Forest lies the body of Lady Navdina Rostikova. Wealthy, beautiful and well-liked, she was at the forefront of high society in the city of Ekamet. But somebody wanted her dead. Who wielded the poisoned knife that slew her ladyship? Konrad must discover the killer – and quickly, for The Malykt is not a patient god.
Aided by a pair of ghostly familiars, Konrad begins to investigate the truth about Navdina’s life. But matters grow dangerously complicated when his identity is discovered, and the hunter finds himself hunted.
And there’s a beautiful, interfering apothecary who insists on getting in his way…

PS while I’m posting, let me also point your attention towards a great indie fantasy book that I read some time ago and really enjoyed. It’s called Confessions of a Gourmand, and I found it to be an interesting, original read. The author’s just released a revised edition which is FREE on Amazon for a day or two: http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Gourmand-Cook-Dragon-ebook/dp/B003H05Y24 (should also be free in the UK store!).
