Or more appropriately, welcome to Greystone – a new series of novels combining the methodical nature of a police procedural with the action and intrigue of an urban fantasy.
Why Greystone?
Greystone brings all of the elements I love about fiction – drama, suspense, fantastic settings hidden among the mundane, and characters that you can hear when you read their dialogue. It also brings together subjects near and dear to everything I write – faith, trust, friendship. And questions about perceptions, the universe and our own fragile mortality as well.
Detective Greg Loren is the window into this world. Reluctantly so, by the way, though he has some stake in the game. His wife was murdered by the darker elements of the city (or so he believes), elements he knew nothing about until he met the other player in this drama.
Soriya Greystone. Twenty-two year old badass with a nose for trouble and the firepower to back it up. She exudes the elements of the true city, the hidden underbelly of Portents with all that comes with it. Gods and monsters. Myths and legends. All hidden beneath the surface. She carries with her the Greystone, a weapon of unknown origin, able to channel the elements and more by focusing on the rune case upon its surface.
She is the city’s protector. But she needs Loren. To ground her. To see more. To help everyone.
There is more, so much more to their world. To Portents. Mentor, Captain Alejo Ruiz, the Bypass Chamber. Every piece of the puzzle has their own story to tell, a mystery to solve.
This is just a taste.
Signs of Portents is out August 30th.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for reading.
