Signs of Portents

Portents is a city like no other—and one that Detective Greg Loren can’t wait to escape. Since his wife’s death years earlier, Loren has looked forward to the moment he can leave the city of Portents for good—and never look back.

But fate has another plan for Loren. Called back to duty, Loren finds himself embroiled in a series of murders that has shaken the city. Together with Soriya Greystone, a young woman with unearthly powers, Loren must work quickly to find the otherworldly being that is killing citizens of Portents one at a time. Loren is tasked with deciphering the mysterious signs left at each of the crime scenes…even if it means traveling to worlds not his own to do so.

Tales from Portents

Six tales of monsters, the dead rising, and the terrors of Portents.

The beasts Detective Loren and Soriya Greystone battled in Lou Paduano’s debut book Signs of Portents were just a hint of what lurks in the city. Tales from Portents explores the city’s immersive history, including stories of Loren’s descent after his wife’s death—and his opportunity to have her rise from the grave. Among the pages, Soriya battles gremlins, navigates lessons with Mentor, and meets the werewolf Luchik. Follow new characters with expansive histories as they come face to face with the horrors of Portents—both human and otherwise.

From the Greystone Collection, Tales from Portents navigates the cases that make even Detective Loren lie awake at night.

 

           

 

The Medusa Coin

Death has come to the city of Portents.

Dozens have fallen before a mysterious menace hiding among them. Their only connection is the grisly condition of their bodies—hollowed-out chasms where their eyes used to be.

Setting aside the aging case on his wife’s murder, Detective Greg Loren has returned to the city with the task of stopping the bearer of the Medusa coin—an artifact with power over Death himself—from continuing to slaughter the people of Portents.

Soriya, no longer able to control the enigmatic Greystone, grapples with the decision to forge ahead in the case on her own, leaving Loren behind. But without the two counterbalancing each other, Death may be the force that levels them both.

Spontaneous Dance Party Sale!

October 23, 2017 By Lou

Lots going on lately down in the basement. One week from the big NaNoWriMo kickoff. Founder’s Day is six weeks out. The fifth book in the Greystone series is slowly being reworked and rebuilt stronger and better than ever. Oh, and I’ve been house hunting to escape from said basement. Know what we need with all this going on?

A Spontaneous Dance Party Sale!

Spontaneous dance party, you ask? I give my eldest daughter credit for this one. Every night before bed she races into her room and asks to have a spontaneous dance party before saying goodnight. And every night she unveils a new dance for us. It’s an adorably, wonderful way to end the day.

So. HERE WE GO.

Today and tomorrow only all three Greystone books are $0.99 each!!

Signs of Portents

Tales from Portents 

           

The Medusa Coin 

Amazon  Nook   Kobo   iBooksSmashwords

And for $1.50 –

The Greystone Saga Volume One – in case you missed it the first time around!

         

Follow me (but not literally – that’s just creepy)

I’m really hoping to beef up my social networks, my e-mail list, everything so consider following me on your favorite site and spreading the word to your brethren. It helps get word out about the books.

If you follow me on Bookbub you’ll learn about upcoming releases and discounts down the line as well.

            

The Medusa Coin commentary is coming next –

Get your books ready to dive in and explore how the book came to be and how insane I truly am when it comes to putting together a novel. It’s going to be a treat, I promise.

Maybe not as much a treat as a spontaneous dance party sale, but still pretty cool.

Dance it up!

Author Spotlight!

Check out L.A. Frederick’s Government Rain series for a sleek Sci-Fi Urban Mystery.

New Hampton is bloodthirsty. The streets are a cesspool. Greed and corporate necessity rule the overcrowded city.

A mysterious doctor, his young protégé and a monstrous enforcer are playing gods, their wanton destruction going unchecked. The city’s Mayor seeks vengeance and believes the doctor’s work is the key to achieving redemption. These men will change the city forever, for better or worse remains to be seen. 

Crime is rife on the streets and only a few brave, have-a-go heroes, seem willing to plunge themselves into the depths of depravity to intervene and, ultimately, save the city from forces it is seemingly oblivious to. 

A handful of extraordinary individuals must decide where they fit in within the changing landscape of the indomitable city of New Hampton. Run? Hide? Fight? The ramifications of their decisions will echo throughout the city.

New Hamptoners look out for number one, slaves to the omnipresent man. Can the city survive this maelstrom or will the meddling powers-that-be doom everyone…

And for the horror fans out there…

Be sure to look up Baileigh Higgins’ Dangerous Days series!

Trapped in the shower by the monster that was once her husband, Morgan’s survival hinges on her willingness to kill the man she loves. She escapes, only to find that the horror has spread and now threatens everything she holds dear.

Logan returns to his childhood home and teams up with Max, an army deserter who is racing against time to save his family. Together, they face the real possibility that everyone they know is already dead. Or worse, undead.

As the sun sets against the backdrop of the Free State veldt and living nightmares walk the streets in the shape of their loved one’s bodies, humanity’s last hope rests in the hands of ordinary men and women called to do extraordinary things. Can they Last Another Day?

Happy reading everyone!
