Kris Bock Romance/Mystery

PRELUDE TO MURDER: “There's plenty of mayhem on the bill, rich spirituality, sumptuous history, and metaphysical frights, too. So much to enjoy in Erica Miner's new novel. But it's the music that steals the show. Julia Kogan, on loan to Santa Fe from the Metropolitan Opera... finds herself smack in the middle of a clever and dramatic mystery set against bloody arias and deadly recitativo." - author James W. Ziskin

Advance reviews are coming in for A Stone Cold Murder!
“A Stone Cold Murder is one of the most vivid books I’ve ever read. Kris Bock doesn’t just tell a story—she immerses you in it.”
“Kris Bock, you have created a novel that is both heartwarming and suspenseful. For those who appreciate mysteries that offer depth, a distinctive supernatural element, and a protagonist to cherish, A Stone Cold Murder is an essential read.”

A book cover shows a dirt road leading toward a building that looks ominous with only two windows lit up. Behind that, the sun sets over a mountain and dramatic clouds billow up. The book is A Stone Cold Murder: The Reluctant Psychic Murder Mystery series by Kris Bock. Text says: “I’ve never read a psychic protagonist who felt this real.” “A Stone Cold Murder is exactly the kind of book I crave—tightly plotted, emotionally rich, and impossible to put down. Kris Bock blends murder, mystery, and psychic suspense seamlessly, and I’m obsessed.” “Kris Bock has crafted a story that’s equal parts murder mystery, psychological deep-dive, and small-town gothic horror (in the best way).” “I found myself laughing, gasping, and perhaps shedding a tear or two.”

The Mysterious Monster March Front cover of a children's picture book that I am working on. Deep within a forest, blooming with all flavors of green, march several creatures of varying shapes, sizes, colors and attitudes. With determined looks, they stomp and strut past a small blue monster with large yellow eyes and a curious expression. Atop its head, a friendly dragonfly joins him. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Okay, it's a kick in the head, innit? Actually a fair summation of plot lines in Reluctant Moon. This one should go with it:

The moonshot novel is SF.
