I see it's been 18 months since Jilly, or I posted anything here. No one can accuse us of over promotion, that's for sure!
Anyway,
Jilly Paddock's[/b] new book, '
Dead Men Rise Up Never', the sequel to '
The Spook and the Spirit in the Stone' is finally out from
Pro Se Press. If you haven't read the first book,don't worry, I took great pains in my introduction to this volume to make sure new readers would have all the info they need.
Here's the official press release...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAGIC AND SCIENCE FICTION MAKE MYSTERY IN JILLY PADDOCK'S LATEST BOOK! DEAD MEN RISE UP NEVER DEBUTS FROM PRO SE PRODUCTIONS
Pro Se Productions, a publisher of innovative Genre Fiction, continues that tradition by announcing the release of author Jilly Paddock's newest title. Taking multiple genres and tying them together into a tapestry of betrayal, murder, intrigue, and investigation, Paddock's Dead Men Rise Up Never is now available in print and digital format.
“Jilly Paddock," says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, "is truly masterful at taking varied genres and weaving them into something that not only stuns and entertains, but is also seamless. Mixing magic and mystery, as well as science fiction with her own take on police procedurals, she delivers a wonderfully engaging, thoroughly exciting tale in Dead Men Rise Up Never. The characters are engrossing and invite the reader along for a wild ride, which is always the hallmark of a great piece of genre fiction."
A man is killed on the streets of Prosperity City, stabbed through the heart by a unicorn. In the cold light of dawn, the glamour fled, the creature is just a shaggy pony with a tin-plate horn. Detective-Inspector A. Afton Lamont and her not-quite human partner, Jerome, are handed the case and follow the trail to Avalon, a private estate owned by the last son of one of their colony world’s founding families. It’s also home to a strange community of bohemian artists, plus a controlling AI who can inhabit a variety of bodies.
In a tale of deception and illusion, of an idyllic rural paradise underpinned by technology, of dreams made flesh, can Afton and Jerome discover the murderer in a tangle of lies, secrets and outright magic?
From Author Jilly Paddock (To Die A Stranger) comes Dead Men Rise Up Never, featuring mystery, magic, technology, and intrigue. Also included is a short tale revealing what these intrepid detectives do after solving a high-profile murder case, which is of course get drunk in a local bar with their colleagues from Forensics.
Excitement, danger, and more await in Jilly Paddock’s Dead Men Rise Up Never. From Pro Se Productions.

Interested reviewers can also contact me for electronic review copies.
Next up will be '
With Amber Tears', the sequel to '
To Die a Stranger'. Hopefully, it won't be another 18 months. In fact we're hoping it'll be out by the end of the year.
For those without ereaders, Book one of the
Afton & Jerome series will finally be appearing in paperback from
Pro Se Press at some point. Again, hopefully, by the end of this year. It will also contain an extra short story, as we considered it to be slightly too short to fill a paperback on its own.
