My latest release (the Project's 97th!!) is also the début of series 2 of A Tale Of the Unexpected - The Last Jotunn is a short, quirky, poetic Edda inspired tale of self discovery - what do we leave behind? Jack is about to find out.

I was not very familiar with the Norse myths and legends until I read the work of, and then became friends with, Phetra K Novak, who writes a wonderful Norse myth inspired series call Haven's Revenge.

I was, as usual, minding my own business, standing outside at the house, smoking a cigarette, looking dismally at the metre of snow on the ground that I knew I would have to clear the following day and then WHAM, the full moon rises up over the ridge and sets my world and my imagination on fire - BAM - you get a story - so thank Phetra and the snow and the moon.

The underlying premise is very much - what is our life worth? What will we leave behind? Who cares? Jack is about to find out, once he meets the mysterious Monsieur Gilbert Mutare.

I hope you enjoy this and the other quirky shorts in the series - series one is now available in a box set - series 2 will also build to 6 stories (I have a thing about series being 6 books long).

Many of you won't know this but Shannon M, Kirkland edits all of my work and since the formation of The Carter Seagrove Project, she has edited and published 1,500,000 words for me alone (and nearly a million more for the other members of the co-op) - no one could ask for a better friend and colleague.

The sun is shining today and there is no snow so I guess that means I can safely go back to working on my sci-fi novel - Black Moon Rising. A #LGBT themed sci-fi epic of +100k words ... might be ready by Easter.

The Twelve Crimes of Hannah Smith is a series of crime stories, following the stellar fortunes of art thief Hannah Smith.
 
Acolyte to Priestess contains the first six of Hannah's twelve crimes, each charting the on-the-rise career of arch thief Hannah Smith. The book is available for FREE from all major retailers - CLICK

All of Hannah's crime stories are permanently FREE and they can also be read on Alp Mortal's website - http://alpmortal.weebly.com/the-twelve-crimes-of-hannah-smith.html
 
... Hannah got back into the car and drove down the driveway towards the gates, which did not open immediately; she waited. Eventually, they did open and she waved as she drove out; it had been touch and go all along. Her relief in not having to ram the gates and pay out for the damages to the car was palpable ... 
 
Audacious, brilliant and cunning, Hannah may have fallen into thievery but having tasted of the forbidden fruit, no other path offers anything quite as sweet as the chance to alleviate the rich and powerful of their most treasured possessions.
 
The Twelve Crimes of Hannah Smith, of which Acolyte to Priestess charts the first six, and which Goddess to Infinity charts the second six (expected to be published 3Qtr of 2016), are the prequel to the crime trilogy, The Virtue of Dishonesty, which will begin to appear in serialised form later in 2016.

A year ago, a bunch of indie authors decided that pooling their resources and creating a publishing co-op would be a good idea. The Carter Seagrove Project LLC was born in 4th February 2015. A year, 95 published works and 2,300,000 words later, we have the very great pleasure of celebrating our first year of business - and what better way than to give everyone a gift.
