Bestselling Irish writer, Faith Hogan, has created another gripping saga of friendship, betrayal and secrets in this story of a widow in search of answers to a shocking confession by her dying husband.

 

Joy Blackwood has no idea why her French art dealer husband has left a valuable painting to a woman called Robyn Tessier in Ballycove, a small town on the west coast of Ireland, but she is determined to find out.

She arrives in Ballycove to find that Robyn runs a rather chaotic and unprofitable bookshop. She is shy, suffering from unrequited love for dashing Kian, and badly in need of advice on how to make the bookshop successful.

As Joy becomes entangled in the daily dramas of Ballycove, uncovering the secrets behind her husband's painting grows increasingly challenging. When she finally musters the courage to confront the truth, her revelation sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community she's grown to love.

Publisher: Harbor Lane Books, LLC.

After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist destination, Oak Creek Valley, seems the perfect place to put the past behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget. When she finds the man who threatened to drive her out of business murdered in her shop, Carissa becomes the primary suspect, especially when her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Despite her father’s position as Oak Creek Valley’s chief of police, most townspeople assume she’s guilty.

Refusing to run again, Carissa knows she must prove her innocence to save her shop and save her father’s career when the investigating detective turns his focus on her. With suspects acting as slippery as the essential oils she distills, it’s up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out the truth before it’s too late.

 

Includes essential oil and reflexology tips.

Book Tour--The Salvation of Henry Maxwell

 

 

Gothic Thriller

Date Published: September 18, 2024

Publisher: Wild Rose Press Inc.

 

Henry Maxwell, once a celebrated figure in Gothic horror cinema, finds himself trapped in a life of grief, resulting in severe depression and hallucinations after the tragic death of his wife, Lillian. Maxwell’s battle with reality sets the stage for his emotional and psychological exploration. The novel captures the essence of a man haunted by his past, struggling to find solace.

Jessica Barrow, the young attorney appointed as Maxwell’s conservator, and David Grovene, a film studies professor with a penchant for sixties B-movies, form the central supporting cast. Their involvement in Maxwell's life brings a fresh perspective to his plight, blending elements of clinical psychology and film history into the story.

The setting itself acts like a character, reflecting Maxwell’s internal turmoil and the Gothic essence of his past. A mysterious serial killer adds a layer of creepiness mirroring scenes from Maxwell’s films interweaving the past and present, making for a compelling and suspenseful read.

The Salvation of Henry Maxwell is a unique blend of Gothic horror, psychological thriller, and detective story. The Salvation of Henry Maxwell is imbued with a sense of tragic grandeur and serves as an underlying commentary on the ephemeral nature of fame and the enduring impact of grief.

Let's look at a bit of the story.

The room melted into a haze and Maxwell went into a dream—a dream so full of joy and

happiness—a dream with Lillian, vivid with sensual smiles and radiating tingles, frolicking

beneath the moon, playing hide and seek among the statues. He sensed her tenderness, her gentle

touch that would greet him after a trying day. But it was on set, his films that kept overriding this

sweetest of dreams. Films offered security and a wonderful life for Lillian and himself. This man

Tony, this sleazy Dago, insinuating things about his work, bad things. Maxwell began to sweat.

… the old olive building, how can I forget? The bloated body in the cellar, grotesquely

rotting, eyeballs resting on his maggot-squirming chest. The director had planned well. Herbert

Bass, yes, I remember his name. He pulled a coup with the grotesque corpse. I wanted real

eyeballs, gleaming and shiny, dripping with vitreous, maybe from some real corpse. No, Herbie

called for glass ones, like marbles. His only mistake in my opinion. Come to think of it, Herbie

died several years ago. A fantastic director, eyeballs or not. I must say that scene outclassed

Vincent Price’s Morella. Oh, we had such positive competition, Vincent, and me, all in good fun.
