While I'm thinking of it, I wanted to suggest that if you haven't yet read them, why not pop one or more of my novels in yr cart for Prime Day*?

At Night in the Floating World

. . .in sumptuous suites, amid trailing puddles of silk and fervent whispers in the night. . . Government operative Nick Barber—an insomniac ex-soldier banking his earnings to fund a nebulous future—becomes entangled in revolutionary intrigue and enchanted by a seemingly unknowable, living artwork known only as Xie. . . .during stolen after-hours encounters, through an exchange of ever-more-intimate letters. . . Beneath Xie’s luxurious gowns, priceless jewels, and ornately-painted face lives a man—Brighton James—with a talent for story-weaving, a hunger for beauty, and a need not for rescue, but for escape. . . .in clandestine meetings fraught with the danger of exposure. . . As a one-world government balances repressive class distinctions and close controls on personal wealth and behavior by elevating leisure time to an art in designated pleasure districts. In a high-rise called the Icehouse—the glittering heart of these high-style centers of art and culture, and home of the celebrated urban geisha called Xie—a web of intrigue is exposed, tangling its denizens in gilded threads pulled taut with tension. As the world teeters on the brink of deadly revolution, Nick dives ever-deeper into political danger, while Brighton swims toward the surface of a threat much closer, much more personal.

North Hope Cove

The only surviving victim of a newsworthy tragedy, lighthouse keeper Daniel Howard has found comfort in his quiet life of peaceable routine, minimal contact with the outside world, and useful work. What he likes less, but has learned to live with, is that the cliffs surrounding his light station have a tragic history as a location for suicides. Soon after learning his beloved lighthouse may soon be automated--potentially forcing him back into the world he does not trust—Daniel discovers another significant potential disruption to his peaceful life: a man at the cliff’s edge. The man is Justin Strongbow, a widower who inherited the inn he and his spouse co-owned, but with no wish to maintain it, and who has had a lifetime struggle with extended episodes of deep depression. One man unable to forgive himself for a perceived failure, the other unwilling to burden another with the weight of his troubles, yet they are drawn to each other and–despite the stormy present–to the possibility of brighter days ahead.

The Ides: An Extraordinary Affair of AJ Raffles & Sherlock Holmes

Gentleman of leisure Bunny Manders is running from a gambling debt—and the men to whom he owes it—when he chances upon former school chum AJ Raffles. Bunny learns Raffles is a brilliant criminal—a gentleman thief burgling high society—and they rekindle a mutual affection. In a rustic village, the reunited lovers meet detective Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr John Watson. To rescue Bunny from financial ruin and physical harm, Raffles weaves threads of deceit, romance, and robbery to dazzle Holmes and intercept a delivery of precious gems. But intrigue can have tragic consequences, and before Raffles and Bunny can return to London with their prize a new disaster looms, so Bunny must rush to save Raffles from a violent end.
