Cover reveal for “Murder or Rollerblade Rupture?” by James PJ Lee.

Now available!

When you live in an idyllic New England village, on a river just outside of beautiful Boston Massachusetts, no one expects murder, never mind one that ends the life of a not so well loved a professor, whose body was found at the bottom of an old abandoned subway transit stop’s staircase—and he was wearing rollerblades! Was he pushed? Proving the obscure motive of sibling rivalry for the professor’s casualty, and taking on the rich and powerful Stone family alone overwhelms and threatens Dillon Delaney’s own life. Fighting back, he is reluctantly forced into the role of self-appointed sleuth, and launches his own investigation into the death, one that uncovers hidden secrets of the Stone family and the rebellious son’s mysterious skate shop.

Due to his good fortune of winning the Massachusetts vaccination incentive lottery that ran at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Dillon Delaney left his post as a principal and created and conducts a nonprofit organization that is a service learning center – an action based program that commits K-12 age students to projects under the motto of kindness matters.

Experiencing the trauma of losing his parents and the grandmother that raised him, Dillon has pistanthrophobia, a fear of getting abandoned and hurt so deeply that he avoids intimate relationships as a way to guard against future emotionally painful experiences. Instead, he relies on the support of his chosen family — one he must protect and preserve at all costs — those who live and run the shops in Goodman Village, located on the Sudbury River in Sudbury, Massachusetts, just west of Boston, Massachusetts.

Ultimately, Dillon finds his way to shaman-like officer, Louise Renaldo, who concocts an unorthodox approach to obtain the proof that unpacks the truth. The journey leads Dillon out of his comfort zone toward finding a surprise chance at learning to love and trust again.

Read what others say about The Saltwater Crimes Trilogy;

“The Saltwater Crime novels are evocative Australian surf noir (if that’s not a thing, it should be), a cross between Garry Disher and early Don Winslow, and combine environmental activism, political corruption, star chamber hearings, suspicious property developers, and a few sexy bits. Highly recommended!!” Sarah Elks, book reviewer and senior journalist at The Australian newspaper.

Beautifully written the descriptions of the surf and surfing to the landscape I felt I was there.

Do yourself a favour and purchase the 3 book series by PG Robertson. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good detective story with a strong but relatable heroine, who loves the great outdoors, especially the beaches and surfing and is keen to visit, or who has grown up on, the east coast of Australia. PG Robertson describes the cities and coastal towns beautifully and you feel like you are riding the wave with Ange in the surfing scenes.

After binge reading books 1 and 2, I couldn’t wait to find out how it all came together. While satisfied with the ending, I was pleased to see PG Robertson left the door open for more to come. I really enjoyed this series. So entertaining, and learned some stuff too, highly recommend this author.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. Great for anyone planning to visit Australia as it captures place and language very well.

The Silent Night

A Sleeping Beauty Retelling
by Sarah Beran

Twas the hour after midnight and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for the owls.
And Holly.

Holly is no stranger to the night. Her unique position means that the still hours in the darkest parts of the night are when most of her work gets done. It’s not completely silent—she has Parliament to thank for that—but it does get a bit lonely. Not even the letters from her faithful correspondent can completely fill the empty space, and it’s only a matter of time before she loses even those.

Dominic Klause has watched as, year after year, the winters in Weihnacht grow longer and colder. The nights are dark, food is scarce, and his fellow countrymen are desperate for a miracle, but too proud to accept charity, leaving Dominic no choice but to hide his attempts at helping them under the cover of darkness. But his resources are limited, and not even the brilliant suggestions of his friend Joy can change the fact that it will require the riches of a king to continue his charitable efforts.

As Deus Natus Eve approaches, Dominic turns his attention towards the one place that could solve all his problems—the abandoned castle of the former king. But all is not as it seems behind the towering holly hedges that surround the castle, and Dominic encounters more than he bargained for. When the unexpected gift of love is dropped into his lap, will Dominic find the treasure he seeks? Or will it be lost to the silence of the night?

The Snowy Footprints

An Elves and the Shoemaker Retelling
by Abigail Manning

Can miracles come true even without shoes?

Evalie Makera is starving, but with only two coins left, there isn’t much hope that she’ll survive to see the Day of Giving. After her mother’s sudden passing, their flower shop has withered, leaving Evalie with a roof over her head but nothing under it. In a world where everyone is born with a magical gift, Evalie’s ability to enhance an object’s beauty feels useless now that her life is void of her mother’s flower magic.

While her gift may be useless without flowers to enchant and sell, she’s still better off than the magicless shop boy down the street. Or, at least, she thinks so, until she spends her last coins on flower seeds instead of food. She’s going to waste away either way, so having one final flower to celebrate her mother’s life feels like a much more fulfilling end to her story. Until it’s not the end at all…

To Evalie’s surprise, the seed she plants before bed sprouts into a stunning bloom overnight. Is this her mother’s magic? Or is something else at play? It would be all too easy to sell the flower and run with the coins, but something about their sudden appearance doesn’t feel right… Maybe the shoeless new stranger in town knows something? What could possibly go wrong with such a beautiful miracle?

The Iced Path

A Hansel and Gretel Retelling
by Kayla Eshbaugh

He has the power to grant her freedom, or to keep her trapped forever. 

At the first sign of glimmering lights above the highest Haleston peak, the unsealing of the Iced Path inside the haunted forest begins. Upon entering the haunted forest, brave men and women are tested to win admittance into the enchanted village on the other side. However, those who enter are never seen again including Gretel Carol’s own father and brother.

As Gretel enters the competition she is tested to see if she has what it takes to win. When she meets a mysterious man within the woods, she assumes that he is part of a test, given by the forest in order to prove her worth. But after the mysterious man keeps showing up and she begins to become accustomed to his odd behavior, she wonders if he is really who he claims to be: the Guardian of the Forest. Or if he’s not at all what he seems, like so many other things inside the woods.

Cole has haunted the forest at the edge of Haleston for as long as he can remember. When he begins to haunt and tease a small, feisty woman, competing in this season’s competition, he doesn’t want her to win. Cole wants to keep her in the forest, so that he can be with her forever. She is the only person who has ever made him feel warm and alive. When Gretel starts to make him question his existence, the Haunted Forest, and the value of the competition, he asks questions he has never asked before; Who is he? How did he become the Guardian of the Forest? And why, just like the competitors, can’t he leave?

This is a Hansel and Gretel retelling, filled with eerie, snowy, winter woods; forgotten identities; spelled peppermint hot cocoa, winter kisses, Christmassy villages, persuading challenges; and a teasing, mysterious man who will stop at nothing to keep Gretel with him.

The closer Noelle gets to Jack, the more impossible their future seems.
