New from Indie Authors: The History Major, The Curse of the Bridal Chamber, The Righteous and the Wicked

I regularly check out Indie authors simply because so many of them are good that it is really a shame if I miss their new books. Here’s my reading list for July.

The Curse of the Bridal Chamber2The Curse of the Bridal Chamber by Hunter Murphy
An Imogene and the Boys Novel

Humor, Mystery & Thrillers
Pub Date 15 Sep 2016

Description
The indomitable senior sleuth Imogene and her outrageously endearing Alabama family find themselves in hot water while on a family vacation at a mermaid convention in sunny Florida. When Imogene and her brood, including Goose the bulldog, encounter a dead body floating in the freshwater springs beneath their glass-bottom boat, the local police immediately arrest one of the Alabama visitors for the crime.

Now the aging amateur crime solver must exonerate her own family, but unearthing a killer among the park’s past and present mermaids and employees promises to be no easy task, since so many of them are thrilled that the victim is sleeping with the fishes. And a decades-old curse that has deposited more than one dead body in the Bridal Chamber spring now seems focused on Imogene and her kin, who are wading into dangerous waters indeed. Witty and colorful, The Curse of the Bridal Chamber will keep you enthralled until the final surprising revelation.

Mystery & Thrillers
Pub Date 21 Nov 2014

Description
When Jacob Hanley discovers that the withered old man who died in his arms is really only thirty years old, the mystery of how the man aged so quickly draws Jacob into the heart of a sinister plot.

The founder of Symbios Innovations, Hans Streisser, has dedicated his life to the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Known by his followers as the Great Elder, he walks a blurred line between genius and madness and has graced his subjects with the most extraordinary discovery in the history of science. But he’ll do anything to keep his discovery a secret, including the use of murderous henchmen like Vic Cappetti.

As Jacob’s curiosity lures him deeper into a dangerous web, he learns the truth behind the Great Elder’s plans and finds himself caught in a life or death struggle that could very well lead to the extinction of mankind.
