Best-selling author Erica Spindler has a new book coming out Tuesday, Feb. 13 - take about a great Mardi Gras gift! The book's titled “The Fallen Five” and is the third installment in Spindler's Lightkeepers paranormal thriller series.
But here’s the good news. On Monday, Feb. 5, the first book in the series, “The Final Seven,” will be FREE as a download for one day only.
Set in New Orleans, these fast-paced thrillers are stories of the ultimate battle of good against evil and ultimately, the redeeming power of love. The series was born of Spindler's lifelong fascination with angels, demons, and the end of days. The books explore the many faces evil takes and the dual nature in us all.
Here’s the book description of “The Final Seven”:
The last thing New Orleans detective Micki Dee Dare needs is a smart-mouthed, super-intuitive new partner cramping her legendary, take-no-prisoners style. But she soon learns there’s way more to Zach “Hollywood” Harris, fresh out of an experimental FBI program than meets the eye. His uncanny sensory abilities begin to reveal to Mick the presence of a powerful evil she can barely fathom. As co-eds keep disappearing, leaving a trail of strange symbolism behind, one thing becomes clear: Mick and Zach’s search for the perp is drawing them closer and closer to a terrifying, incomprehensible darkness that might just consume them all.
Who thought you could create a cozy mystery series around New Orleans Go Cups, those plastic creations that allow us to bring drinks on the streets. New Orleans native Colleen Mooney has published several with this theme and on Feb. 3 and 4 her bundle featuring “Rescue by a Kiss” and “Dead and Breakfast,” books one and two in the series, will be FREE on Amazon.

Here are the book descriptions:
“Rescued by a Kiss”
Brandy Alexander’s the real deal — yes, that’s her real name and she’s not even a stripper, although her best friend Julia is. Brandy still lives with her parents in the Irish Channel of New Orleans and she’s semi, kind-of engaged to the boy next door. Then a suave Svengali in one of the gentlemen’s walking clubs mesmerizes her into a big fat Mardi Gras smooch.
“The kiss was long, slow, hot—unlike any kiss I’d ever had in my life.”
She decides to meet Mr. Good Kiss after the parade, but arrives just in time to see him shot. Fortunately, not shot dead. Before he passes out, he pulls her close and whispers, “Save Isabella.”
The Svengali kisser, (aka Mr. Possibly Right), has enemies, of course, and he and Brandy get kidnapped, but the real adventure here is swanning around town with Brandy and her crazy krewe—much of it canine and seriously cute.
“Dead and Breakfast”
A bed and breakfast located next door to a cemetery turns into a grisly scene the day it opens. Brandy is called by her BFF Julia to come over at once for Julia has found a dead man in a guest room of her newly opened BnB. Brandy discovers that Julia has had a romantic encounter with the guest who just checked in and who is now dead, having been bludgeoned to death.
At the issue is Brandy’s ex-boyfriend Dante, now a homicide detective, who still has feelings for her, and a handyman Brandy meets in jail to help her at the guesthouse. As the investigation into the death seems cut and dry, Brandy, Dante and her current boyfriend discover what really happened at the guesthouse that night, and something the handyman/maid/cook says makes Brandy realize there’s no such thing as coincidence.
By accident, circumstance and coincidence the missing pieces come together as Brandy tries to get help for Julia from both men she has strong feelings for and, at the same time, keep them apart.
There’s no place like New Orleans to have a good crime.
