I’ve kept this quiet, because I wasn’t certain I’d finish in time, but I have a brand new book out for the New Year! It’s called A Matter at New Year’s and is a paranormal historical mystery (Regency).

If you prefer paperback, I am working on that edition, but my cover designer is on vacation and I can’t upload until she gets back and can do the print cover. Should be soon.
The novella features Robert Archer, a former lieutenant in the army who fought at Waterloo. Now he lives in London, where shape-shifters, vampires, and other magical beings walk. When Robert stumbles across three were-beasts in the wrong place as he walks home from New Year’s festivities in 1823, he’s thrown into more danger than he’d like.
I have plans to make this into a series, and I am pleased I could finish the story in time for New Year’s.
If you take a chance on it, I hope you enjoy it.
I have not abandoned Captain Lacey! His next book, tentatively titled Murder on the Rhône, will take him to France to visit Gabriella. The publication date for that is “2025” but I will be more specific when I slot it into my publishing schedule. Same with the next Leonidas. I have many things to write this year, but they’re coming.
Hope your holidays have been good, and Happy New Year!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your new Robert Archer story, Ashley! When I finished it, I promptly fetched the first story, A Matter of Honor, from the Kindle cloud and reread it. I’m delighted you are planning more stories about Robert’s life. It’s refreshing to read stories with an honorable, conflicted male protagonist. Cannot wait to see what you come up with.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. More to come.
