by Maer Wilson
Thulu and La Fi join the hunt for the human supes causing the planet-wide massacres. With their own magic evolving and erratic, the race to catch the killers becomes far more difficult. They need to find them and stop the chaos before there is no world left to save.
Ghosts of Modern Magics: A Collection
Before magic returned to Earth in the Modern Magics novels, Thulu and La Fi’s clients were usually the dead. The “Ghost” novelettes detail a few of their more memorable cases.
“Ghost Memory” - An amnesiac ghost hires Thulu and La Fi to find missing money from his home for his aging husband.
“Unwanted Ghost” - The couple inherits a furnished Victorian, complete with its own noisy ghost.
“Ghost Dancer” - Young Danika asks Thulu and La Fi to save her dog from the killer who murdered her.
“Wedding Ghost” - Just before their own wedding, the detectives are hired to find out what happened to another bride ninety years before.
BONUS MATERIAL
“Lost Ghost” tells the story of eleven-year-old Thulu and Fiona’s first case.
This collection also includes samples from the Modern Magics novels - Relics, Portals and Magics.
Praise for Modern Magics
Relics, Modern Magics, Book 1
“Relics is a powerful read which will challenge long-held perceptions of good vs. evil and Light vs. Dark well after the book is finished.” Diane M. Haynes, author of Rift Healer, YA finalist in the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence.
“In Relics, author Maer Wilson takes everything you think you know about the creatures of the fantasy world and twists it around to create a unique and engaging story.” Constance Philips, author of Resurrecting Harry and Fairyproof.
Portals, Modern Magics, Book 2
“Juggling angels, psychics, and a myriad of other magical folk (and their problems), Thulu and La Fi return in Portals to find a kidnapping victim, and maybe just save the universe as a side job. Maer Wilson does a beautiful job of painting their world, weaving a mystery, and sprinkling on a touch of humor in her sophomore fantasy. Such a fun escape!” LynDee Walker, bestselling author of the Headlines in High Heels Mysteries.
“What I personally liked best about the story is the very dry humour with which La Fi narrates the story. Too often harrassed by the dead and trying to run a business and save the world she is a fantastic main character, an often reluctant heroine but a spirited and likeable one.” Christoph Fischer, author of The Three Nations Trilogy.
Magics, Modern Magics, Book 3
"A thrilling urban fantasy ride where the scariest monsters just so happen to be human. Wilson goes into realms most urban fantasy authors fear to tread. Watch as the world burns. Be prepared to cry. Magic is coming to Earth and no one will be left unchanged. An emotional, jaw-dropping finale to an epic series." M. Joseph Murphy, Author of the Activation series.
“My favorite paranormal detectives are back! Only this time Thulu and La Fi (and three year-old Carter) are facing the return of Magic on Earth. Even family and friends from the other side are concerned, including a grim faced demon. It isn't enough that Thulu and La Fi help ghosts resolve their issues, now they have to figure out how to work their magic against some pretty terrorizing creatures, many of them human. The world is falling to pieces and it is up to Thulu and La Fi to help put it right and to discover just who is behind the attacks. Entire cities are burning and saving the world is their only concern.
From demons to ghosts to elves and whatnot, hanging out with the two detectives as they solve their most recent case is a great way to spend a weekend. While the books are Young Adult, anyone can read them and find a ton of enjoyment.Wilson's writing flows and you can't help but fall in love with Thulu and La Fi, as they are charming and fully realized, almost to the point where you feel close enough to invite them over for dinner.” Louann Carroll, author of Innocent Blood, A Shadow of Time and the Gemini Rising series.
“Ghost Memory”
“A page-turner, this adventure-filled caper, with its surprising supernatural powers and a look at the concept of Going Into The Light, ends with a clever segway to Ms. Wilson’s follow up book, ‘Unwanted Ghost.’ All in all, a really fun Can’t-Put-It-Down read!” S.R. Mallery, author of Unexpected Gifts.
“This classic tale of a ghost with something left undone is full of beauty and pace, humour and poignant moments.” Simon Okill, author of the Luna series and the Phantom Bigfoot series.
“Unwanted Ghost”
“‘Unwanted Ghost’ was a perfect, quick read for a chilly afternoon. Maer Wilson paints a vivid picture of a ghost named Darla and the events that led up to her death. Much of what happened to her was explained through dialog, and sometimes that can put distance between the reader and the event. In this case, that didn’t happen at all. Darla explained everything so well, I felt like I was there while she relived it. A well-told story combined with two likable, often funny ghost detectives is a 5 star win.” Lindsey R. Loucks, author of The Grave Winner.
“Wilson does an amazing job at creating a character that really irritated me. The ghost, Darla, is not someone I think anyone could easily like, and I have to applaud Wilson for managing to get that much emotion out of me with a short story.” Danielle DeVor, author of Tail of the Devil, Constructing Marcus and Sorrow’s Point.
