Looking Ahead to 2025

With 2024 almost in the rearview mirror, I thought I’d share a little bit of what is on the horizon, at least in my world, for next year.

Releasing Sanctuary of Echoes this year as an audiobook was definitely a pinnacle for me, given its personal significance in my writing career. Having finally gotten Sanctuary, all sixty chapters of it, published as an audiobook I got the bug to bring some of my other works to the audiobook format as well. Currently, I am working on A Quiet Moment which should be released sometime early in the year. And hopefully, following will be several other books that have been patiently waiting their turn.

On another front, as announced a few months ago, Amazon discontinued their Kindle Vella platform. This left me with several projects in limbo. Currently, I am doing deep edits on “The Alchemist Bride,” with eyes on releasing this former Vella as a novel by early Spring. The story is a metaphysical romance set in turn-of-the-century New Orleans. I am working hard to incorporate elements of the Spiritualism movement that took the country and New Orleans itself by storm at that time.

Following that I will be working on several sequels, one to The Tethering, one to The Broken Vow, and the fourth book in the New Orleans Paranormal Mystery series.

And for those of you looking for something to read right now, all three of my eBook collections: The Mystic’s Collection; Ghosts, Witches, and Werewolves; and New Orleans Paranormal Mystery Collection are on sale for $4.99 through the New Year at most eBook online retail platforms.

So, wrapping things up, I do truly wish you all peace through the rest of the holiday season and all the best for the coming year.

Take Care,
Evelyn

Sanctuary of Echoes – Audiobook

Just in time for the holidays, Sanctuary of Echoes has been released as an audiobook!! This has been a long journey bringing this special and somewhat personal project to fruition, a lot of ups and downs, but for many reasons, it feels like a timely story to me. It’s now available on Audible. I hope you check it out.

Ghosts unacknowledged do not sleep.

Corey Knight has resigned herself to a quiet, reclusive life spent living out the rest of her days in her childhood home on the fringes of New Orleans’ French Quarter. But the unexpected specter of her deceased father plunges her into a mad quest for a missing supernatural weapon unearthed long ago. And unfortunately, her only ally is a lost love she once betrayed.

Iain Shaw returns to New Orleans, a city he abandoned a decade before while fleeing a devastating past. Here, he is forced to confront it again in the visage of the woman he once adored – one that he is now determined to get back at any cost.

Follow them both in a wild paranormal tale of discovery and redemption as they confront and unearth the echoes of a buried and unyielding truth that once tore them irreparably apart.

The Best Books about Ordinary People Whose Lives are Upended by the Paranormal

Around the beginning of October, I got this great offer to feature a book of mine on the Shepherd Books website as well as review five of my favorite books based on a theme related to this book. If you haven’t checked it out, Shepherd is an indie book platform built for readers by readers. Here’s a quote from its creator.

“One day I walked into my local indie bookstore and saw little notes from the staff about which books are their favorites and why. I loved that idea because it exposed the passion behind the picks. Shepherd reveals that same passion by asking authors, experts, and interesting people for their favorite books around topics, themes, and moods.”

This website is an innovative alternative to traditional book recommendations. I really recommend you take a look.

The theme I explored in my book reviews was “The best books about ordinary people whose lives are upended by the paranormal,” which revolves around the theme in The Witches’ Own. I am leaving the link below to my page there. Drop by Shepherd. It’s worth the trip. 🙂

New Orleans Paranormal Mystery Collection Box Set – Now Available

The eBook collection of the New Orleans Paranormal Mystery Series – Volumes 1-3 has just been released at Amazon and soon will be available on most online retail eBook platforms. This collection is presently on sale for $4.99, so scoop it up for a cozy spooky Christmas season in the grand old city of New Orleans. This compilation includes Gravier’s Bookshop, The Hotel Mandolin, and The House at Pritchard Place.

New Orleans is a compelling, intriguing city filled with mystery — seen and unseen. Join the psychic Breslin family as they explore and battle elements of the supernatural within this mystical city in the boxed set of the first three novels of the New Orleans Paranormal Mystery series.


Gravier’s Bookshop: Caroline Breslin is determined to strike out on her own, and all is going well, except that she is under a devastating supernatural attack. The last thing Caroline wants is to run back to her family for help. What she really needs is a knight in shining armor or maybe just that guy that keeps haunting her dreams.
Max Gravier had no intention of becoming a recluse, but after his wife’s death, it seems his life is heading in that direction. That is until he answers a call, a cry for help that draws him into a fierce battle for a young woman’s soul.


The Hotel Mandolin: It’s opulent, classic, and one of the most renowned hotels nestled deep in New Orleans’ famous business district, but something is amiss at The Hotel Mandolin. PI Peter Norfleet is calling out the big guns to help him investigate a recent suicide at the famous establishment — his good friend Max Gravier, a formidable psychic, and his girlfriend, Caroline Breslin, a talented empath. But none of them can seem to scratch the surface of this puzzle, no one except Cassie Breslin, Caroline’s clairvoyant mother, who has somehow tapped into an unexpected connection with a tragic ghost from the turn of the century. And the more she uncovers, the more dangerous and malevolent the mystery becomes.


The House at Pritchard Place: Nothing is really wrong with the old Warrick House on Dante St., except that there most certainly is. Nothing is exactly wrong with its new mysterious owner except that Elise is sure something doesn’t add up. It isn’t obvious, but sometimes the most dangerous things aren’t. With the help of her very psychic sister and her children, the Breslin clan, Elise Ashford is about to embark on a wild rescue mission straight into another dimension that will land her squarely somewhere she doesn’t expect, right back into her past. She’ll land full circle in a childhood home whose memory still haunts her to this day — The House at Pritchard Place.
