Torch & Sass

This new series by K. J. Cales adults should not pass up because in the hectic world of work and family most people who are now the grownups do not have the time to take a vacation properly. With the first book in the Rachel Bailey Mysteries, Passing of the King, readers can find solace in a mini-vacation from dull reality. You can not find time to take off for a day much less a true vacation, but anyone can find five minutes to read a chapter and be swept into a world hijacked by the wannabe creative lovechild of Rod Sterling and Ray Bradbury. What is better, this vacation needs no transportation cost, packing, or accommodations to plan for. You arrive in the universe of award winning author Rachel Bailey and dog her heels for an escape instantly that cost no more than the format you choose to buy.

Mystery readers will not see the end coming in this world of contemporary fiction and even the characters themselves will miss so much in-between the letters of their lives. Returning home from her latest book tour, Rachel Bailey discovers reality went skewed in her absence. As a fictional character who exists only in the minds of writer and readers seemingly comes to life, a facet of the author's past greets death. Rachel Bailey finds that crazy is a contagious disease that has broken out to pandemic proportions. The investigation into her former teacher's death leaves Rachel tangled in a deadly mystery where her life and possibly her sanity are at stake. While the world lives in a fantasy, the young writer is hiding for her life in a place of death. Rachel seeks out the answers, but is there far more to this plot than is imagined in her philosophy?
