Locke's Promotional Newsletter: Surprise Discounts for October
Dear Reader,
I’m putting out this second newsletter in October because the audiobook versions of three of my novellas, Violet Vanquishes a Villain, Kathleen Catches a Killer, and Dandy Delivers, were suddenly discounted on Chirp and AppleBooks to $1.99.
I don’t know how long these discounts will last, so if you are interested I would head out to buy right now.
In addition, Apple Books has just discounted the audiobook version of Uneasy Spirits to $1.99. This is in addition to the $1.99 discount on Chirp, and for the ebook version on all retailers.
Violet Vanquishes a Villain: In this cozy historical fiction novella set in August of 1880, Annie and Nate Dawson’s trip down the San Francisco peninsula to San Jose was supposed to be a pleasant romantic interlude and a chance for Annie to get to know Nate’s family better. When the visit takes a serious turn, Annie races to expose a criminal who could ruin a young man’s life, getting help from an unexpected quarter.
The events in Violet Vanquishes a Villain come right after Deadly Proof, the fourth book in Locke’s USA Today bestselling cozy Victorian San Francisco mystery series and before Pilfered Promises, the fifth book in the series.
Audiobook available for $1.99 on Chirp and AppleBooks
Kathleen Catches a Killer: As 1880 comes to a close, the O’Farrell Street boardinghouse servant, Kathleen Hennessey, expects to spend a quiet week while her employers, amateur sleuths Annie and Nate Dawson, are off spending the Christmas holidays with Nate’s family. However, when she agrees to help out one of her friends, Kathleen discovers that a simple case of a servant being dismissed without notice has turned into a complicated and dangerous puzzle that she is determined to solve.
Kathleen Catches a Killer contains all the light romance, humor, and suspense of the longer works and chronologically, this novella comes right after the events in Pilfered Promises.
Audiobook available for $1.99 on Chirp and AppleBooks
Dandy Delivers: It’s January 1881, and while the grown-ups in Annie and Nate Dawson’s San Francisco O’Farrell Street boardinghouse are busy with their own affairs, two boys and a dog find their own adventure. Ian Hennessey, a poor boy from South of Market, who is trying to shoulder a man’s responsibilities, gets in trouble, and his best friend, Jamie Hewitt, does what he can to help. But it is Jamie’s young Boston Terrier, Dandy, who saves the day.
This short novella comes right after the events in Pilfered Promises and Kathleen Catches a Killer.
