A Gargoyle for the Hotel Gothica is a cautionary tale in being careful of bargains bought in Scottish manor auctions, and every journey has to start somewhere:
The
crate had been loaded with care, its contents cushioned by foam, and iron bands
shrunk to fit so it didn’t burst open. It had been packed in a shipping
container and hauled down from the highlands on the back of a monster truck
driven by a driver who should have been certified insane long ago. Its contents
had been auctioned before being packed back into the crate and loaded onto a
ship in Greenock.
A Gargoyle for the Hotel Gothica is the first of the gargoyle tales. Enjoy!
A Gargoyle for the Hotel Gothica was released in November 2012, and can be purchased from the following locations:

First Paragraphs: Shadow's Rise
Shadow's Rise is in the process of being released on
Smashwords, Kindle and CreateSpace. Here is the first paragraph to tide
you over while it goes live:
Gilzereet caught the carriage just after it left Duke Graglecrock’s city mansion. He tipped the driver, paying him for his silence and the risk he took, and easing the man’s terror with a single golden coin. Skill and secrecy was what he paid for, loyalty was what he inadvertently bought. The coachman gave him all three.
Shadow's Rise is the first book in the Shadow series. Shadow Trap and Shadow Fall are scheduled for release later this year.
