Enjoy *A Trio of Games*

Heart-Pounding Puzzles ~ A Trio of Games

Smugglers in A Game of Secrets,

Tricky Twists in A Game of Spies,

and

murder Most Foul in A Game of Hearts

Regency mysteries and suspense with a dash of romance.

 

My first three books ever published, way back in 2015,

collected into A Trio of Games.

A Trio of Games offers my first three mysteries.

  • Long before I dreamed of publishing, the novel A Game of Secrets rescued me from a dark time of life.
  • Then came the novel A Game of Spies at another dark time.
  • In 2013, when I realized self-publication was not only possible but a reality, I began writing my third novel A Game of Hearts.

Indie publishing was a dream coming true, and these three novels began my writing career.

These weren’t the first novels I penned, but they were the first to enter the publishing world and to be offered to readers, in October of 2015. Even in that month, the whole Hearts in Hazard series was just a dream. I had only a vague idea of the series.

Each novel would be a stand-alone, dealing with a different conflict and a different setting. The characters and situations would reflect history accurately. Each would have suspense or mystery, with sweet romance sprinkled all through.

Rather than focusing on two characters only, I wanted each novel to focus on separate couples. Some characters might recur, but no main characters would again be primaries. Characters may enter early as secondary actors. The primary characters would be honorable and humble, good people struggling together through bad circumstances.

This Trio of Games

The individual books are available in ebook and paperback formats while the collections are ebook only. All of the novels are available in wide distribution: Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Amazon, and many other distributors. Find them at your favorite online bookstore. You can search for the individual titles or the series title under my pen name of M.A. Lee.

You can find the collection A Trio of Games at Amazon, ebook available at this link and the paperback here, and both ebook and paperback at worldwide distribution, with this link.

The other collected novels are A Trio of Dangers, A Trio of Keys, and A Trio of Hazards.

Hopefully, this will start a busy Summer of reading that will stretch into Autumn!

The Mysts of Sorcery ~ Conclusion of *Spells of Earth*

Posted on by writer35_bg

Betrayal rears an ugly head in The Mysts of Sorcery.

cover by Deranged Doctor Design

When her own spell blasted away her magic and destroyed her memory, Desora had abandoned everything. Now, discovering the depths of elemental Earth and her memory returning, she is on the verge of recovering all she’d lost—even her lost love, Brax.

Yet fierce battles loom before Desora and her allies.

The monster escaped. It heads for Mulgrum, killing as it flees. The Dark Fae Horst and his remaining riders track the sorcerer and his wyre.

Only when the monster is destroyed will Mulgrum and the Northern Reaches be safe. The sorcerer who brought the monster through the portal must also die.

With allies gathered, the final deadly battle nears. Desora risks losing all she’s regained as she confronts a monster she has no idea how to destroy.

Then betrayal rears its ugly head.

***

The fantasy The Mysts of Sorcery is the concluding novella in the three-part series Spells of Earth, part of the greater Fae Mark’d World. The series began with The Wyrded Forest and continued with The Riven Gate. Readers will experience the greatest enjoyment when they read the first two novellas in the series.

If you like elemental power battling twisted sorcery and cold steel clearing paths through magical monsters, then you will love the adventures in The Mysts of Sorcery.

Fantasy Fused with Romance

On January 25 is Remi Black’s To Charm the Wind, second in the trilogy Spells of Air.

When Haven isn’t a Sanctuary—

When the untried wizard Orielle enters the Wilding on her journey to Iscleft Haven, she expects threats from bears and mountain lions, vipers and hornets.

She certainly doesn’t expect the creatures of legend: wraiths and gobbers, shape-shifting wyre, and the Dark Fae called the Kyrgy.

Grim, an outcast from Iscleft Haven, is the keen steel that stands with her against these dangers.

Yet when they reach the Haven, the elder arrests Grim. The Haveners aren’t interested in a renewed alliance with the Wizard Enclave.

Is her mission for the Enclave in vain?

Will she ever escape the Wilding?

 

Enjoy January and look forward to February.

The thaw is coming!
