cover reveals for five Urban Mysteries
I have been busy, working on a novella series called Urban Mysteries. These mystery stories are quick reads, set in cities where I have lived or worked: Halifax, Saint John and Fredericton. Each story follows the adventures of a young woman whose interests get her into deep trouble. The books are illustrated with my pencil drawings and I create my own cover art.

I will release the books in two groups, the first later this month. The first set of three books will be:
Office Green – Hannah’s work, tending to office plants in Halifax, means she sometimes sees more of the people in the city than she should;
City Grotesque – Eleanor decides to help the Heritage Conservation Group in Saint John to find look-alikes for sixteen sculptures in the city, and one of the look-alikes does not want to be identified;
Roundabout – Katie, making an artistic record of the travel in the new roundabout in the city, notices how regularly a particular van uses the traffic circle.

The second set of books will be released next year:
Hollow Hotel – Helen goes urban climbing with her friends and must rescue them when they have a terrible accident;
Dancing with Trees – Katie is making a record of the trees in Fredericton and encounters an urban legend to be unraveled;
Hunting the Dragon (cover image not yet available) – Hannah tries to find the thieves of a local art installation.

As you can see, I will be releasing the series under my pseudonym, Alexandra Tims.

I’ll let you know as soon as the first three are available for reading!

All my best! And Merry Christmas!
