When a resident of a member only community goes missing, it's the freewheeling, live in the moment, sexually ambivalent Dakota Gaits, the founder’s protégé, who heads the search.
Forced to join her, is ex mafia man Frankie Tecano, a resident whose wife has an undeclared past. Help me, or your family’s life in Hope will be over, were the stark terms of the quid pro quo she exacted.
The error, never learned by the forces hunting them down, was simple – don’t ever mess with Dakota Gaits.
“Sir Pendleton Stormsnout: Legendary Detective and Seeker of Adventure.”
So reads the sign that hangs by the entrance of the palatial estate that lies on the outskirts of the sleepy hamlet known as Mouseling Hollow. For most mice, hanging such a sign outside their place of business would be sheer arrogance – a sure sign that they were either puffed-up braggarts intoxicated with their own boastfulness, or vainglorious charlatans seeking to separate the innocent from their hard-earned coin.
But Pendleton Stormsnout is most certainly not ‘most mice.’ Far from it…
For Pendleton Stormsnout, the sign that hangs outside his stately manor house is merely a simple declaration of fact – for he is both a legendary detective, and a lifelong seeker of adventure. Over the course of many seasons, the tales of his exploits have spread far and wide throughout the entirety of King Teegan’s Far Collective. The rumors say that Pendleton Stormsnout is a prodigy – a virtuoso – a ‘renaissance mouse’ in the truest sense of the phrase. They say that his powers of observation and deduction are unparalleled. That he can out-think the most distinguished scholars from the University at Old Town, out-fight the greatest champions from the Black Baron’s infamous Arena, and out-drink the thirstiest scalawags in Captain Redfur Tumblefox’s fabled Wrecking Crew. Some even whisper that he sets a finer dinner table than his neighbor, the beloved chef and innkeeper Robert Teague.
When The Feldenspar Daily is granted a rare interview with the famous detective, it quickly dispatches a pair of journalists eager to learn the truth about Sir Pendleton Stormsnout. Is he really as sharp as they say? As learned? As daring? As sophisticated? Being no stranger to news stories that have been a bit…shall we say…exaggerated, the journalists arrive at his doorstep with two questions burning on their lips: has Sir Pendleton Stormsnout really done all the things he’s said to have done? And if so, what is the source of all his amazing abilities – how did he become the celebrated mouse that he is today?
As they question Stormsnout’s butler (and chronicler of sorts) Alfred, they will discover that the answers to their questions are both much greater – and far different – than they ever could have imagined…
See Sir Pendleton Stormsnout, the breakout hit character from the Gertrude Warner Award-winning A Journey to Mouseling Hollow series, come to life as you’ve never seen him before in the series’ first-ever graphic novel! Adapted from Stormsnout’s own international best-selling origin novella, The Casebook of Sir Pendleton Stormsnout, Book 1: The Gypsy’s Gleaming Eye.
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."
British Army Rumour Service review, June 2011
In this first book in the Mango Bob series, Walker has just lost his job, his wife has filed for divorce, and he’s living in a tent down by the river.
Being ever resourceful, Walker swaps his truck for a motorhome (aka ‘the Love Bus’), and agrees to drive it cross-country to sleepy Englewood Florida so he can deliver a cat named Mango Bob to a woman he's never met.
Should be easy, right? Drive to Florida, hand over the cat, and then hang out on the beach.
Except there’s an unsolved murder involving the Love Bus, the Mexican mafia, and a half million in missing gold coins.
Add to the mix a trigger happy grandma, a team of bungling burglars, the hot chick with the kayak, the repo man, and you get a rollicking travel romp through the Sunshine State.
A fun and fast read!

COZY COMEDY MYSTERIES X 2! WITH 5-STAR REVIEWS! PERFECTLY PICKLED and JUICY JERSEY!
If you're looking for funny novels for women, packed with humor, chatty animals (in the guise of pets) -- and recipes -- look no further. Lund's cozy mystery series - Books 4 & 5 - are hilarious light hearted mysteries that blend delightful characters and great dialogue with a dash of thrillers and suspense. These cozy comedy capers whip up frothy fiction that's sure to amuse Kindle readers.
BONUS!
Chock full of delightful surprises, both mysteries finish with a bonus section of free recipes, vetted by Lund's chef husband, for your culinary pleasure!
PERFECTLY PICKLED
Spring is here–things are looking up! Our hero, Mina, has a new car. And she even has a boyfriend or two lined up. But all hope of smooth sailing vanishes when she hits a bump in the road: she loses her job. Luckily, she stumbles upon a full-time job. A rather peculiar job, with some definitely odd co-workers. Who try to kill her--and Chef Jack.
JUICY JERSEY
Summertime, and the living is… not as easy as Mina had hoped. But, she finally has a full-time job, working alongside her new boyfriend, Jack (that is, Chef Jacque, when they’re at Squirrel Run Acres.) That’s good, right? Except when tempers flare hotter than fat on a fire. But Jack steps up to the rescue and splurges for a romantic get-away to Cape May, New Jersey. All is forgiven and soon sunset beaches wink from the distance, until their journey through Jersey stumbles upon the discovery of Babette Bernstein. Her murder launches a connect-the-dots of corpses that ripples dangerously around Mina and Jack. Oh–and the kidnappings, plural–are a little scary, too.

Readers’ Favorite Review, “Perfectly Pickled is the fourth addition to the Mina Kitchen Cozy Mystery series and probably the best one yet…"
"[Perfectly Pickled] is my first book by Lizz Lund and let me tell you, it won’t be my last! Filled with quirky characters, hysterical dialogue and a main character who always seems to be surrounded by hijinks, Perfectly Pickled is one of the best cozy mysteries I have read since Janet Evonovich’s Stephanie Plum series.”

“ [Juicy Jersey] was a GREAT book, I have enjoyed all the books in the series, the nice thing is, you don't have to read all the books they all stand alone great. Can't wait to see what happens next.”
" With the utmost respect, I wonder if Mina (like the bird) could be a, slightly older, distant relative of Stephanie Plum. The humor is non stop. The twists and turns of Lizz Lund's suspense are Outstanding, Ingenious, and completely Unguessable. The main character, Mina Kitchen with her family and friends is a wonderful mix of Jersey and PA. Juicy Jersey is book # 5 in a must read series. The characters and storyline have a growing relationship with the reader from book to book. Each book could be read as a stand alone....BUT, READ THE SERIES. Hurry so you will be ready for book # 6. I am."
