Slide #1 A Wayward Balance, my adult Fantasy Mystery What You’ll Find Inside: • Only one...human (she dies). • Fate and death are desk jobs (death is a family business complete with nepotism). • Chosen one...by application and interview (it’s a lengthy process). • Death is framed for murder. • A romantic slow burn so slow you might not even catch it!(i.e., an utter lack of romance despite the sparks my friend is absolutely determined she felt) • Karma is a cat...shifter. • Coffee, Mahjong, and cozy violence. • Someone who would sacrifice themselves for everyone, and their best friend who is determined to keep that from happening (it’s complicated).
Mock newspaper article for my adult fantasy mystery novel, A Wayward Balance. First paragraph reads: The consensus around town is that the current disruption in the scales of light and dark is due to the untimely demise of Mary Sue Johnson. The newest Chosen One selected by Kismet, Inc was found dead this morning on the doorstep of Departed Corps heir, Dahlia Halloway. Sources say that the human was not due to perish for another three centuries if she had fulfilled her duties as the Chosen One, and that her unscheduled death has lead to a wayward balance. Roads around our small town have been rupturing, fracturing homes and completely destroying Eden Park’s historic gazebo. Thankfully, Selena and her talented group of sirens were able to make it out of the gazebo in time before its collapse. Despite these unprecedented times, zero other injuries have been reported. Clockwork Falls’ clock tower has fallen. Never in the known history of humanity has time been disrupted to this extent.
