Vampire and the Frenchman: Ghosts of Pinkerton
Book 1 of the Ghosts Of Pinkerton series. An imaginative book set in the old west with heavy elements of paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. The characters sometimes use modern day slang, but for reasons of time not being what it seems. This won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but it might just be yours. Give it a read and follow the genre-mashing supernatural adventure! Welcome to an alternative 1880s influenced by outside forces of light and dark—and different eras. It differs from our own in subtle, and not so subtle, ways. If you like your stories strange, a bit campy, and full of historical inaccuracies, then this is your type of book. Jasper Longley was a broken man before Allan Pinkerton pulled him off the train tracks and gave him a purpose. Cole Owens drank his skeletons away. He was aimless until he stumbled into Jasper. The wild west in the 1880’s was a time of revolution, progress, lawlessness, and … monsters. While average Pinkerton agents were tasked with tracking bandits and keeping order, agents Jasper Longley and Cole Owens fought to keep the world from plunging into chaos. Their mission was to keep tabs on the supernatural beings wreaking havoc on the citizens of the western frontier—and apprehend candy-stealing goblins. After a routine vampire hunt, Jasper and Cole discover a peculiar relic that sends them on a grueling quest to stop a mysterious force: The Chaos Demon. Few have encountered this demon and lived to tell the tale. Jasper is one of the few and he is hell-bent on ending this demon’s reign of terror. Along the way, they uncover a few hidden demons of their own making. A Frenchman and a lone vampire play much bigger roles than previously imagined. Nothing on the surface is quite what it seems—not when darkness consumes all things. Book 2 – Sea Of Untold Stories is available now! Read more$0.00$9.99 -

Praise for City of Storms “Richly textured and fabulously conceived. Ross drapes a tense political thriller in a trench coat of dark fantasy. Readers should expect the unexpected.” –Kirkus Reviews “I’m not prone to bouts of effusiveness but I couldn’t gush enough about Kat Ross’s books, I enjoy them so much. This one has a Slavic feel, which was really interesting to me, and I loved the rainy city of Novostopol (also the map illustration is gorgeous). Added to the unique setting and fantasy elements are Ross’s usual mix of great characters, a twisty-turny plot, romance and a touch of humour. I already can’t wait for Book 2!” –Evelyn, Goodreads reviewer “I loved the setting, which is technologically advanced yet progress is suppressed – it gave it a 1930’s noir feel. I’d compare it favourably to the ‘tsarpunk’ of the Grishaverse. Relatable characters and fast-paced and well-thought-out action drive this story along and have me eagerly awaiting the sequel.” –A. Adler, Goodreads “A masterpiece of magical fantasy which mixes its unique concepts into the darkest psychology of the human mind and its most base physical desires and emotions. Action, excitement, and darkness in all the right places. An unmissable and original read.” K.C. Finn for Readers Favorite, 5 Stars “A rousing adventure [and] skillful fusion of history, fantasy, and religion. It contains word paintings with arresting beauty and a three-dimensional character that is torn between duty and loyalty. I definitely recommend City of Storms for its unique twists, turns, and brilliant storyline.” Vincent Dublado for Readers Favorite, 5 Stars Read more$0.00$4.99 -
