An Explosive Time

Celtic Cousins' Adventures Book 3



Author: Julia Hughes

Price: $ 0.99


GET DEAL at Amazon


Dealing with stolen circus elephants, pit fighting alligators, and man eating pigs are a walk in the park for Detective Crombie. However, it's when the Celtic Cousins get involved that the explosions really start.

When a circus elephant goes missing on Detective Inspector Crombie's watch, he immediately thinks of Wren and Rhyllann, who have to his mind made a career out of being the collective bane of his existence. And his instincts are correct: the Celtic Cousins HAVE been up to something--but when Crombie finds out what it is and why, he runs into resistance not only from his immediate superiors, but also from the corridors of power in Whitehall itself.

Will Crombie take the easy way out, or will he "leave the reservation" in an effort to do the right thing? The answer may surprise you…

Author Description:
Julia Hughes (that's me!) is the London born author of The Celtic Cousins' Adventures: "A Raucous Time", "A Ripple in Time" and "An Explosive Time"; The Griffin Riders' Chronicles: "The Griffin Cryer" and "The Griffin's Boy", and on its own (so far!) "The Bridle Path".

Being Indie means having the freedom to explore different genres; "The Bridle Path" is a romance set in Cornwall ... "The Griffin Cryer" is an urban fantasy; life's more fun when you mix it up a little! Personally, I enjoy adventure stories with a little suspense, featuring original characters, unexpected yet logical twists, friendship that sometimes deepens into romance, and most important, a satisfactory conclusion - because us readers deserve a happy ending!
