Night is Day for New Release

Per Bastet Publications is delighted to release the latest from T. Lee Harris: A new Byron Peale adventure!

San Francisco, 1890. Byron Cyrus Peale is a vampire, but he is far from the most dangerous person in town. A ruthless Shanghai ring is abducting citizens and visitors alike, selling them to ships’ captains who need crew and don’t care where they get them. Peale faces danger from all sides. Floyd Kaetin – A tough, savvy police captain who knows Peale’s secret and wants to use his supernatural abilities to break up the ring. Zhao Conguyn – Owner of the Golden Rain Pavilion Saloon who isn’t aware of his friend’s secret, yet unknowingly threatens to expose it. Ignatius Dulmage – A young police inspector, charged with acting as Peale’s minder. He takes his task seriously. Claire Ashford – The beautiful widow who threatens to invade his heart — with dire consequences. And the crimps who mistake him for just another warm body.

September 16, 2015 / MasterKen / 0 Comments

Per Bastet Publications is pleased to announce our latest new release. Other Earth Other Stars by Marian Allen.

These stories and poems, most collected from various venues and one brand new, imagine alternate Earth, future Earth, Earthlings in space and on other planets, and people of other planets.

In order to work off-world, you have to have your connection to the ‘net severed. But what if you still hear voices in your head?

In an alternate history, three young friends and their mechanical dog rent an airship for a jolly holiday. Then sky pirates happen.

Can you ever trust a mermayd? They may be charming, but there’s nobody trickier.

A woman begins to wonder exactly who she is after her atoms are reassembled at the end of a transfer.

By land, air, or sea, with two arms or eight, driving lessons are driving lessons.

These stories and poems, most collected from various venues and one brand new, imagine alternate Earth, future Earth, Earthlings in space and on other planets, and people of other planets.

Science fiction. It’s not just ray-guns anymore.

It’s currently available for the Kindle at Amazon for just $2.99, and will be available in print on September 26, 2015! If you must have a print copy sooner, visit us at the Kentuckiana Authors Book Blitz this weekend. We’ll have pre-release copies available!

November brings a Bitter Cold

November 10, 2014 / MasterKen / 0 Comments

We had a huge October here at the Temple o’ Bastet! We released two books, including a brand-new Young Adult Paranormal from Marian Allen. We conducted our Day of the Dead Giveaway, sending spooky and delightful books into the hands of readers. We sent T. Lee and Marian to Magna Cum Murder.

Now that it’s November, the temperatures are falling and our schedule will probably be calming down. But not before we have another announcement!

We are proud to announce the publication of Bitter Cold: A Steampunk Snow Queen by Katina French.

This madcap steampunk adventure takes the story of childhood friends Kai and Gerda, and the nefarious Snow Queen, and sets it in The Clockwork Republics, an alternate history where the American states never united and the world runs on mechanical marvels and alchemical enchantment.

In this version Kit (Kai) is a mechanical genius and Greta (Gerda) is a talented alchemist. When Evelyn DeWinter, a woman the papers call the Snow Queen, kidnaps Kit to complete her diabolical device the Eternity Engine, Greta must risk everything to rescue him.

This book features: A kick-butt heroine. A lot of explosions. A touching love story. A jet-propelled clockwork reindeer.

If you enjoyed Disney’s FROZEN, see what the story looks like all steam(punk)ed up!

Available in print ($12.99) and ebook ($2.99).
