My novella Offerings for the Dead is now available on Amazon and
Amazon Kindle Unlimited!
The book features Pearl Tham, a grave robber and art thief with magical abilities. She can manipulate qi, the vital essence or life force flowing through living as well as non-living things.
If you’ve read The Geomancer’s Apprentice series, you’ll know that Pearl is geomancer Joe Tham’s half sister, and a thorough badass.
Offerings for the Dead is the first book in the Pearl Dragon novella series, revolving around Pearl’s early adventures in her quest for treasure and relics. Under a Hunter’s Moon, the second book in the series, is now available through pre-order. The books were previously available only to my newsletter subscribers.
I hope you check out the new novellas. I’ll be adding to the stories in time.
This series is for
you if you want a quick read with fast-paced action.
Blurb for Offerings for the Dead
A tomb hidden in a remote mountain in China, filled with treasure.
This should be an easy job for grave robber and art thief Pearl Tham. However, things go wrong from the start. A storm springs up, forcing Pearl and her team to seek shelter in an abandoned village.
She discovers before long that the village isn’t abandoned after all. Its residents have been around for hundreds of years and they’re hungry. Very hungry.
Pearl has her Dragon powers, her katana and her gun. Will they be enough to save her life, let alone the lives of her lover and her friends?
Dive into this fast-paced adventure if you like strong female antiheroes, Asian magic and mysticism, and terrifying monsters from Asian folklore.

PEARL THAM: BRIEF RECAP
Who is she?
Feng shui
practitioner Joe Tham’s badass half sister.
Occupation?
Grave robber, art
thief. Expert on Chinese antiquities.
What’s her deal?
Pearl bitterly
resents the Tham family because of the way she and her mother were
treated. She has some of the same abilities as Junie Soong, my
Geomancer female protagonist. Pearl was trained by her father, the
Golden Dragon, until she turned 15, when he decided her character
faults made her unworthy of being a Dragon warrior.
Weapons of choice?
She loves swords.
Her main weapon is the katana. She also is proficient with the
wakizashi and tanto, two other traditional Japanese swords, and with
the shuriken (ninja throwing star). She has been known to use a gun.
