Here's my surprise announcement for January the 19th.
It's a brand new novel - published today!
MRS DANBY AND COMPANY
by Paul Magrs
When
world-famous detective Nightshade Jones of Balcombe Street retires to Sussex to
look after hornets, housekeeper Mrs Martha Danby packs her bags and sets off on
a luxury cruise on the doomed SS Utopia.
En route to the dazzling city of New York, she soon meets legendary
vampire-slayer Abraham Van Halfling, who claims his demon-hunting days are
over. But soon the pair are embroiled in a series of wild adventures when, one
stormy evening, the irascible and brilliant Professor Zarathustra stomps
aboard, brimming with outlandish tales of giant cephalopods, guarding an
ancient lost city at the bottom of the Atlantic.
Our
heroes are drawn into a steampunky adventure involving disaster at sea, evil
underwater backwards-speaking arachnids, an elixir of eternal youth, vampires
in Central Park, sinister Eastern travel agents, a swift trip to Mars and an
altogether rollicking time in an early, rather hectic portion of the Twentieth
Century.
It
would be altogether splendid if you were to join Mrs Danby and Company in doing
their level best to save the world!
