Ghostly worlds, the Dead Set novels.

Covers of The Dead Set and The Reliquary novels by Tracy Eire, showing Hispanic heroine, Six Soto.

I've been thinking about Rowan Hellebrand and Hellebrand Survey, his occult team, a lot recently. After finishing Cardinal Machines book 6, I'll be moving on to a nearly finished draft of the 3rd book in this urban fantasy series, about 2 worlds -- one spectral, and one human -- that can sometimes overlap in the most alarming of ways.

I miss Rowan, the gifted young ghost hunter, my most prickly hero, and I miss Sixtine and her oddball gift for that rarified skill: spirit photography. Most of all, I miss the rich interplay of the Survey team, a true ensemble cast, and the haunting stories themselves.

I enjoyed their interplay as a team very much.

This was my first time writing a novel for publication! I was pretty nervous on book one! Thanks!

Will we be meeting any of the people Rowan hires as consultant types, or be seeing any new members beyond the core crew? I'm hopeful we'll get to see more in the third book, thanks!

The next book has a lot of new characters, but not an expansion of the core team. There is discussion of some of the other ghost-hunting teams, such as 'The Believers', but no new members at this point. Interesting to think about though!
