Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Jesse Q. Sutanto!   Writes: Comedic murder books with a lot of heart, humor, and hijinks.   About this book: Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady—ah, lady of a certain age—who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesn’t know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of . . . swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the…

1–What is the title of your latest release? RED LONDON 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A CIA officer is tasked with flipping the British wife of a Russian oligarch in order to prevent the fall of the current world order. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I’d been fascinated with the expansion of Russian oligarchs into London ever it began in 1994, when two things happened. First, the UK Prime Minister announced a new class of for foreigners willing to invest 750,000 pounds into the economy. Secondly, the Soviet Union was imploding, creating a new class of millionaire, many with dubious backgrounds. The new UK visa plan was designed to attract the oligarchs’ money but put off worrying what affect this might have on the country down the road. Fast forward to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and the UK is finally forced to deal with the oligarchs—only by this time, they’re well entrenched in the country. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? As a former CIA officer, I have hung out with women like Lyndsey Duncan: sincere in their willingness to sacrifice themselves for…

1–What is the title of your latest release? A SINISTER REVENGE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? What happens when one guest at a Victorian house party decides to exact vengeance for a murder that happened twenty years before? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I knew I wanted to set a book at the country estate of one of my recurring characters, and because there were fossils involved, it was a natural choice to place it in Devon. They don’t call it the Jurassic Coast for nothing. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely! This is my eighth book with Veronica Speedwell, and it’s a delight to hang out with her every time. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Intrepid, audacious, irrepressible. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That there were clergymen who claimed to know the exact date and time the earth was created. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I plow on through until the book is finished. It’s much easier to revise when I can see the book as a whole. 8–What’s your…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Jerri Chisholm!   Writes: The third and final book in the YA dystopian Eleven Trilogy is finally here! I’m so excited to introduce ENDING ELEVEN to the world. Not only is it action-packed, but, in my opinion, it’s an epic and fitting conclusion to the tyrannical underground world known as Compound Eleven.   About: I’m Jerri. I write about dystopian nightmares, high stakes, and good old-fashioned romance. I love books of all stripes, indie music, homemade guacamole, and Indian food. I need two cups of coffee to get out of bed in the morning, no joke. I think frogs are repugnant. When I’m not up to midnight writing, you can find me jogging along dirt roads, online shopping, or obsessively cleaning my floors.   What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match: I’m looking for fans of heart-pounding action—nothing light or fluffy for me, thanks! I’d also love to be matched with readers who appreciate all the emotions, even raw ones that leave you emotionally drained you must be…

1–What is the title of your latest release? MARKED FOR GRACE It’s a paranormal romance about Grace, an untrained soul seer who has not a damn clue what they want. After she discovers a mark on the dead that kills the living, her quest to figure out who unleashed it pivots to the half-demon Gideon. She’s got her eye on him, and he’s got his on her too—every inch of her. As the mark haunts humanity’s steps and the death tolls climb, Grace realizes she’s in way over her head. But the lines between good and evil are blurred and choosing who to trust is hard as hell seeing as God is capable of wrath and Satan was once an angel. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? What if the dead hunted you? 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I wanted it to be in a metropolis style city because my main character is a nurse, so it required a hospital. I needed it to be large enough for a major news outlet, for a business mogul to exist, and population enough to support a casino, all things that have relevance at…

Hello, readers! As the author of THE FAMILY BONES, I’m excited to introduce you to the Eriksen family, a group of individuals, some of which have committed crimes so egregious that True Crime fans know them by name. The Eriksens’ notoriety is in part fueled by neurotypical Olivia Eriksen, a psychology graduate student working on her doctorate, who has been publishing social media videos on her relatives since she was a pre-teen. When Olivia is invited to a family reunion, at a rural mountain resort in eastern Oregon, she reluctantly joins the event with her fiancé, assuring them both that they can leave whenever they want. Then a storm sweeps through the region, decimating roads and causing mudslides. What was billed as a rustic luxury getaway quickly spirals into chaos beyond Olivia’s greatest fears.   T is for Trainwreck. The only way to describe a family reunion among psychopaths. H is for Help, which will not be coming. E is for the Eriksens. The family in question, whose genes carry the spectrum of cognitive conditions.   F is for Fun and games, which quickly devolve into chaos. A is for Alarm, which is raised after a relative is found floating…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A sapphic, atmospherically Holmesian murder mystery set on Jupiter: gaspunk where the gas is piped up directly from the swirling insubstantial planet below. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I wanted to explore what a human settlement on a gas giant would be like. Initially I thought it would be some as-yet unidentified planet way out in the universe, but when I realized my book was partly about the damage humans have done to Earth and the desire to repair it, I moved it to Jupiter. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Mossa: Focused, observant, learning Pleiti: Dedicated, passionate, erudite 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? A day on Jupiter is less than ten hours long! So I had to figure out how humans might adapt to that. In my book they first try to artificially lengthen the day using orbiting mirrors, but society settles into a pattern where people stay awake for a day and a night…

Book Title: THE QUEEN’S PRICE Character Name: I am Daemonar Yaslana, Eyrien Warlord Prince.                                 I am Liath! I am a Sceltie Warlord Prince. I help Daemonar herd the young humans living at SaDiablo Hall.   1.) How would you describe your family or your childhood? We are a complicated family because not everyone who is considered family is also related by bloodlines. We are the most powerful and the wealthiest family in the Realm of Kaeleer. My uncle, who is the High Lord of Hell, is the family’s patriarch, and his word is law. That’s the surface truth of the SaDiablo-Yaslana family. The other truth is my father and uncle are very strict about children following the rules and respecting the Blood’s code of honor because they believe power should be tethered to acting responsibly for the sake of everyone around us. They also believe that children should have fun, and if a dash of mischief is part of the fun, they tend to look the other way as long as no one gets hurt. My mother is a hearth witch and a loom artist, so she is the softer side of the family—unless she gets riled. Even my…
