Book Signing! Victoria Dalpe's "Selene Shade, Resurrectionist For Hire"

Join us on January 31st at 6pm as we welcome local author, Victoria Dalpe, who will be in-store to sign copies of her new novel, Selene Shade, Resurrectionist for Hire.

About the book:

In the first installment of Victoria Dalpe’s new dark fantasy series, we meet Selene Shade, a resurrectionist for hire who might just have taken on the wrong case.

With the ability to restore life to the dead, “Zombie Queen” Selene Shade has earned quite a reputation. Not that it helps her get dates. Her bed may be empty but business is booming. That is until her life is thrown into disarray when a brutal killer comes to town and all signs point to her being the next victim.

Enlisted by the police department due to her unique craft, she must make new alliances, deal with old rivals, and maybe even save the world—whether she wants to or not—all the while avoiding the gruesome allure of dark magic and the sacrificial ritual of a mad cultist.

In Resurrectionist For Hire, Dalpe weaves a dire tale of magic, M**der, and romance. To survive, Selene will have to harness her power of the dead and overcome her struggle to connect with the living.
