Bibliography & Social Media
Here's the current, almost complete bibliography. Since I've been writing fiction since the naughty aughts and am now roaring into the twenties, I sometimes forget or miss a publication. Need more information? Easiest way to reach me is DM through Twitter at twitter.com/rosemaryjones as long as that site exists (hey I'm writing this update in 2023!).
Other places to find me online are listed below. Depending on your security settings, your browser may not let you click through directly. If that happens, you should be able to copy the full link into your browser bar.

If you'd like to see the visual inspirations for the 1920s technology and movie stars in Mask of Silver, Deadly Grimoire, and The Bootlegger's Dance, you may enjoy this board at https://www.pinterest.com/rosemarybooks/fitzmaurice-legacy-inspirations-arkham-horror/
I may send out a newsletter, more like a postcard, when I have a new story out. You can sign up for those announcements here but the same information will probably appear sooner at Twitter or Blue Sky.
Now onto the books that I've written or the Bibliography:
Arkham Horror
"It is the height of the Roaring Twenties – a fresh enthusiasm for the arts, science, and exploration of the past have opened doors to a wider world, and beyond… And yet, a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the thresholds between worlds." A series based on the popular card and board games published by Fantasy Flight Games. Published by Aconyte Books.
Mask of Silver - Silent movie costumer Jeany Lin journeys to Arkham to help famed director Sydney Fitzgerald film a horror movie in his ancestral home. When things go bump in the night and cast members start to disappear, Jeany must use all her wits to save family and friends. (January 2021 in ebook, April 2021 for print editions in US & UK). Signed copy available for sale at Lost Loves Books (Alibris).
The Deadly Grimoire - Betsy Baxter is a success in Hollywood but she's never forgotten the ill-fated filming of Mask of Silver. Now star of her own stunt-filled serial, The Flapper Detective, Betsy meets famed aviator Winnifred Habbamock while researching wing-walking. The pair find that they have a shared history of strange encounters in Arkham. It's time to head back to that town to solve some mysteries and discover new intrigues with the help of a handsome bookseller of cursed grimoires. (March 2022).
The Bootlegger's Dance - Returning characters from Mask of Silver and The Deadly Grimoire meet up for Christmas in Kingsport. What could go wrong when bootlegger Nova Malone plans a spectacular holiday ball in her newest establishment the Diamond Dog? Her niece Raquel is about to find out as a man tumbles through time and only Raquel can hear his cries for help. (November 2023). Signed copy available for sale at Lost Loves Books (Alibris).
