Against all odds, I’ve managed the release date I blithely promised almost a year ago. I should know by now that life always gets in the way and plans have a way of shifting and changing accordingly. So I’m especially proud that I was able to finish this in time to meet my commitment.
I still owe fans of the Red Slaves series the final in the original trilogy, but for those who want a peek into that world’s near future, when Anne and Ivan’s son is trying to finish his PhD, this one’s for you:
Maxim Krempenski wants to get through his thesis defense to earn his political science PhD. He must, in order to help his dragon shifter family survive the new Russia. The Elder Gods have other plans and force him to take a break at The Hotel Paranormal, where he learns fellow student Yuliya Orlov may be even more trouble than he imagined.
Yuliya takes her career advancement in the KGB seriously, so she’s happy to follow orders to track and eventually detain Max on her superiors’ orders. Then she discovers the ideological rot at the core of her assignment.
Can they set aside their differences to ensure the dragons have a prosperous future?
The Hotel Paranormal is the place for supernatural beings looking to get away from it all. Beings like werewolves, vampires, elves, sprites, djinn and more check in from all over the world for business and for pleasure — and sometimes for both.
Welcome to The Hotel Paranormal…
I hope you enjoy this novella as a promise of things to come for Anne and Ivan and their clan. Available now on Amazon; coming soon to all the other retailers.
Hey, congratulations on finishing! I’m in awe.
I blame it on my training as a journalist: A deadline a group is counting on you meeting is almost a sacred thing… 😀
