🌧 The Storm Is Coming
The Perilously Fun Fiction Fortress has been a little noisy lately.
Mostly because the Carnival Wing is getting ready to open a new door.
Behind that door is the upcoming Big Uneasy mystery:
And the story begins on a stormy night.
Which is rarely a good sign.
🏚 The Mansion
Picture this:
A big old mansion sitting on a barrier island off the Louisiana coast.
A tropical storm rolling in.
The wind rattling the shutters.
A house that is supposed to be almost empty but somehow isn’t.
And somewhere inside…
a mystery waiting to unfold.
📖 A Small Peek
Here’s a quick moment from the story:
“You said you didn’t hear the shot?” His usual frown had deepened some, but she didn’t take it personally.
“No,” she said, and explained more thoroughly about her nightly walk-through and her brief check-in with old man Taylor. She didn’t mention that it had been creepier than usual with the wind howling outside. She was just glad it wasn’t Halloween. Or Friday the Thirteenth.
Banks nodded, his frowning gaze on the dead man, but then he glanced up suddenly, his gaze slamming into hers, a brow pulling his strongly marked, dark brows together.
“You do it by yourself? Your walk through?”
“Well, it’s not like I have a team,” she pointed out. “And I didn’t expect…”
She felt a sudden shiver. Was the perpetrator still in the house? What if he or she hadn’t left through the open doors? She saw Banks’ gaze lift, as if he could see through the floors above them.
“We’ll want to clear the house after…” he stopped and rubbed the back of his hand over his face. His gaze was now on the corpse. She didn’t have to be a genius to know what he was wondering right now. What should they do with the body?
“The freezer is pretty good-sized,” she offered.
It always was in the best murder mysteries.

Thank you for continuing the tour of my slightly crooked imagination.

things may get a little chaotic in the Carnival Wing.
PS: If someone suggests playing a board game called Clue during a storm in a creepy mansion… you might want to decline.
