Grim Shadows: Now On Sale!
A crafty scoundrel. A deadly dame. An urban treasure hunt for a cursed Egyptian object in 1920s San Francisco. GRIM SHADOWS is the second book in my Roaring Twenties historical paranormal romance series, following BITTER SPIRITS. This time around, the story focuses on the younger Magnusson brother, Lowe, who is a treasure hunter and charming liarpants. He falls for an icy museum curator, Hadley Bacall, who wields a strange and deadly army of dark spirits that feed off her emotions and attack when she gets angry.
And she gets angry at Lowe a lot.
It’s an opposites-attract romance when the two of them must hunt down parts of a amulet that Hadley’s deceased mother hid around San Francisco. This one is slightly more paranormal than the first book, and follows a more mystery-driven plot. (Don’t worry: there’s still plenty of dirty sex and romantic angst!)

GRIM SHADOWS
It’s the roaring twenties in foggy San Francisco. Prohibition is on, inhibitions are low, and dark magic is rolling into town…
Archaeologist Lowe Magnusson is packing something everyone wants. The djed amulet, a priceless Egyptian artifact, will fetch Lowe a hefty paycheck from one of San Francisco’s wealthiest. But when the handsome Swede runs into his patron’s uptight daughter, what he once considered easy money becomes a maddening complication…
Cursed with deadly spirits as her constant companions, curator Hadley Bacall must keep calm to hold her dangerous specters at bay and prevent them from lashing out at anything—or anyone. Trouble is, Lowe is driving her crazy, but her father needs the artifact he’s transporting. While Hadley can feel the amulet’s power, she can’t fathom the destruction—or the desire—it’s about to stir up.

Hi Jenn,
Carla the “Book Pimp” here, I just want you to know that I have picked up this book and that I will be pimping it out as well…LOL. Seriously, I’m looking forward to diving in to it. Now I was curious, will there be only three books? And if that is the case, will you be writing anymore adult book series in the future?

Heya, Carla! Book pimpage is always appreciated! 😉 As to your questions: yes, there will only be three Roaring Twenties books. Since there are only three Magnusson siblings, I decided to keep it simple and just tell those three stories. Will I be writing more adult books? Yes. I’ve got two teen books on deck right now, but my goal is to be able to write one YA and 1-2 adult books every year, starting in 2015. It’s too early to say anything definitive about future adult books yet, but all my new book deals will be sent out to my newsletter subscribers (CONTACT tab of my site), if you want the future scoop. 🙂
