Sanctuary of Echoes- New Edition in Hardback

Ghosts unacknowledged do not sleep.

Corey Knight has resigned herself to a quiet, reclusive life. She plans to live out the rest of her days in her childhood home on the fringes of New Orleans’ French Quarter. But then, the unexpected specter of her deceased father plunges her into a mad quest for a missing supernatural weapon. It is the very same weapon unearthed by her and a small group of psychically gifted friends long ago. And unfortunately, her only ally is a lost love whom she betrayed.

Iain Shaw returns to New Orleans after years of intensive esoteric studies and training overseas. Coming back to the city haunts him, a city he abandoned a decade before while fleeing a devastating past. Here again, he is forced to confront his demons in the visage of the woman he once adored—one that, even to his surprise, he is now determined to get back at any cost.

Follow Iain Shaw and Corey Knight in a searing tale of discovery and redemption that begins with a mystical journal and culminates deep in the heart of one of New Orleans’ most historic cities of the dead. To prevail, they must journey through a profound and intricate past as they confront the echoes of a buried truth — a truth that once tore them irreparably apart.

New Orleans Paranormal Mystery Series now available in Hardcover

If you haven’t checked out The New Orleans Paranormal Mystery series, now is the time. All three titles currently in the series are now available in hardcover as well as paperback, eBook, and audiobook. Enter the world of the supernatural via the very psychically gifted Breslin family in this collection of books.

Gravier’s Bookshop: Caroline Breslin always knew that she would have to live her life differently. Being an extremely sensitive and gifted empath in a family full of psychics has led her to lead a rather cautious existence. But she is determined to strike out on her own, moving out of the protection of her Prytania Street home. And all is going well, except of course if you don’t count the neighbor upstairs in her apartment building who may, or may not, be a dark witch, and the increasing flow of malevolent energy that seems to be directed just her way. All of that and trying to make ends meet seems a bit much for this rather inexperienced New Orleans girl. The last thing that Caroline wants to do is run back to her family for help, even though she is painfully over her head. 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. He spends his time running Gravier’s Bookshop on Magazine Street and occasionally, on the quiet, helps the police solve a crime with his psychic sensitivities. That is until he answers Caroline Breslin’s call, a cry for help out of his dreams that draws him rather unexpectedly into a fierce battle for a young woman’s soul.

Join them and the whole Breslin family psychic clan in this first installment of The New Orleans Paranormal Mystery Series where you’ll travel into a new world just a few steps into the turbulent realm of the unseen.

The Hotel Mandolin: Peril is wrapped up in the most enticing of disguises, in The Hotel Mandolin, the second installment of The New Orleans Paranormal Mystery series. It’s opulent, it’s classic, and it’s 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.

Cassie, unwittingly, has somehow tapped into an unexpected connection with a tragic ghost from the turn of the century who is linked to a whole trail of suicides winding tragically through the grand old hotel’s history. 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 that something doesn’t add up. It isn’t obvious, but sometimes the most dangerous things aren’t.

In the third installment of The New Orleans Paranormal Mystery series, 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.

Dumaine Street Audio Snippet

Here is an audio snippet from my latest Audiobook, Dumaine Street. I hope you enjoy. 🙂 Just press on the arrow.

Voices in her head, catastrophic emotions, hallucinations — Rebecca Wells is more than convinced that she is losing her mind. And as a last-ditch effort, she contacts a self-professed counselor who seems convinced he can help.

Gabriel Sutton has abandoned the world of medicine to navigate a realm filled with psychic phenomena. Diagnosing Becca with extreme empathic abilities, he struggles to help her stabilize her gifts while trying desperately not to fall in love with his patient.

From the realm of vulnerability into a crusade to use their profound gifts to rescue others from peril on the other side of death, these two follow an astonishing and unpredictable path into each other’s hearts. (First Published on Kindle Vella)

2024 – What’s Percolating?

While 2024 will no doubt be a ground-breaking year in many ways, on a much smaller scale in my arena, I have quite a few projects on the horizon.

In 2023, I saw the publication of two new novels and audiobooks, The Lady in the Blue Dress and Dumaine Street, which originated as Kindle Vella stories. In 2024, I anticipate the release of two more works: The Story of Enid, a sequel to The Broken Vow, and The Alchemist’s Bride. Both of these originated on Kindle Vella as well.

I’m also planning to continue my audiobook work, releasing not only these two novels in that format but also some older works. This is the year I plan to release Sanctuary of Echoes in audiobook form. I don’t like to show partiality to any of my work, but Sanctuary is one I’ve always kept close to my heart.

In addition to this, I’ll be continuing my work on Kindle Vella. I currently have two Vellas in progress: The Vine, which is a direct sequel to The Tethering, and An Unintended Witch. I also hope to start a brand new book there, the fourth installment in the New Orleans Paranormal Series. If you want more information on any of these works, please visit my Books, Audiobooks, or Kindle Vella Pages on the main menu of the homepage.

So, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting time, but I truly believe it’s also a time of great consequence. Our decisions this year will impact us profoundly in the coming years. We must think long and hard about what kind of country we want to live in and what kind of world we want to live in. Do we want to have peace and tolerance for one another, or do we want to dictate to our sisters and brothers and thus put our own freedom in jeopardy? Something to think about: every action and every inaction has a consequence.

All My Best to Everyone,

Evelyn

Book and Vella News

As we’re approaching the end of November, I wanted to release an update on some exciting things that are happening now and are around the corner. I was very pleased this month to see the publication of Dumaine Street. Presently, I am working on an audiobook version of the book, which should be out sometime in December.

On the Kindle Vella front, as well as having five completed Kindle Vella stories, I have two that are still ongoing. This month, I have released new episodes for “An Unintended Witch” as well as “The Vine: A Portent of Crows.” If you have yet to try Kindle Vella, it’s a unique reading experience where you use coins purchased at Amazon to unlock new episodes. The first three episodes are always free to read, and Amazon is usually eager to give you several hundred free coins when you sign up. So, check it out. It is optional to continue if it’s not for you.

So, that’s it for now. I really hope everyone takes some time to enjoy the holidays this next month and keep on reading. 🙂

An Unintended Witch

As an orphan, Rory Finn was raised by her Aunt Monique to be a practitioner in the arcane ways of magic. Then, last year, a powerful wizard initiated her but subsequently vanished from her life. Now, however, Rory is determined to walk away from the old ways, course correct, and establish herself as an artist in New Orleans. The problem is that her old life won’t let her go. And that enigmatic wizard is back and more than eager to help her curb the turbulent occult forces burgeoning within her.


The Vine: A Portent of Crows

Deborah Brandt has found the man of her dreams, literally. Unfortunately, Daniel Wren comes with a lot of baggage, particularly a mother who counsels them from other spiritual planes, an Uncle formidable with psychic abilities, and a family lineage involving a specific destiny for him and Deborah. The problem is when their beloved city of New Orleans seems under siege while Deborah is just trying to find a way to fit in and cope. Can she ever be the woman he has been looking for?
