Finally! Falcon Ridge Publishing has just released the novel Backli’s Ford: Book 1 of the A’lle Chronicles, by my alter ego, Emma Faraday. Here’s a little bit about it:

In the early 1700s, an A’lle generation ship crashed in the woods of Lower Canada. Survivors stumbled out of the wreckage to find French settlers working the land. While many of the colonists sheltered the injured A’lle, some reacted with fear and loathing. Two centuries later, nothing much has changed.

This is the world Constance A’lle, first A’lle investigator for Lower Canada, must deal with when she investigates the beating death of an A’lle boy in the small village of Backli’s Ford.

Set in 1911, Backli’s Ford follows Constance as she survives an ambush that would have killed a human, fights prejudice in the constabulary, and discovers a terrible secret that risks destroying the delicate balance that has endured for two centuries between A’lle and humans.

Contains the first chapter of KIRWAN’S SON.

LINCOLN CITY BLUES

When a beautiful woman walks into the office of Anastasia Charles — aka Charlie — with a story about a violent husband and a kidnapped kid, Charlie’s private investigator instincts sit up and pay attention. With $2000 on her desk, $8000 more the moment she finds the husband, and the chance to be a hero and rescue a kid… how can Charlie say no?
All she has to do is find the guy, after all. What could possibly go wrong?

Contains the first chapter of The Tuxedoed Man.

Just a few more weeks, and he’ll have his military police badge. Then he’ll be able to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants… to whoever he wants. There’s only one problem. Someone knows his secret.

AMULETS BY DESIGN

Falcon Ridge Publishing is trying something new with my short stories. They’ve taken one that’s been available for a while (Jhyoti) and paired it with a new short story in the same universe (Jhyoti: Planetside). Then, since I actually had three short stories in the same universe, they’ve created two other pairings: Jhyoti: Planetside/Station OSCX-9 and Station OSCX-9/Jhyoti. Each pairing goes for the price of one short story, so that the reader gets a bonus story with each pair. Pretty cool.

Cadet Jhyoti sen Chandar is the lowest of the low, a bhoto, studying at the Alliance Academy on sufferance. When she stumbles across a high caste murderer, she will have to decide between justice for the poor dead woman, or survival.

Includes a bonus short story: JHYOTI: PLANETSIDE.

“… a rather traditional story—but very well done… it was quite satisfying.”—Rich Horton

Jhyoti is available on Smashwords, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Sony, and Diesel. Coming soon to Kobo, and many other fine e-tailers.

Specialist Jhyoti sen Chandar, exoanthropologist on the Alliance ship Solar Wind, thought she had left behind the harsh caste system of her home planet. Unfortunately, it followed her aboard in the person of Engineer Parma sen Harpar: young, hostile and with a secret that will endanger both women. When they end up stranded on a planet with its own dangerous secret, they must confront not only the crippling legacy of the past, but their own future in the Alliance. But first, they must survive.

Includes a bonus short story: STATION OSCX-9.

Jhyoti: Planetside is available on Smashwords, Amazon. Barnes and Noble, and Kobo. Coming soon to Sony, Diesel and many other fine e-tailers.

At the edge of explored space, Orbital Station CX-9 usually swarms with construction workers and bright lights. But when the shuttle Persephone arrives with Stokes and the relief crew, they find the station eerily empty and echoing with the strains of an ancient Earth opera.

Can Stokes figure out what happened before the Persephone suffers the same fate?

Includes a bonus short story: JHYOTI.

Station OSCX-9 is available on Smashwords, Amazon and Kobo. Coming soon to Barnes and Noble, Sony, Diesel and many other fine e-tailers.
