Pre-order: A Friend in the Glass

I'm back with the release of A Friend in the Glass's official blurb and pre-order links! Book 3 of An Auden & O'Callaghan Mystery will release on November 26, 2024 with all retailers in ebook and paperback. It is currently listed for pre-order at Amazon, iBooks, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo—Google Play and Smashwords to follow. An update on the audio narration availability will be posted soon.

Blurb: It’s winter in New York City, and Rufus O’Callaghan is trying to make things work. He’s still got his job as a confidential informant, and he’s still got Sam Auden. The ex-Army drifter has moved in with Rufus, and the two men are trying to build a lasting relationship as Sam struggles to find his footing in the city.

When Sam gets a call from a woman offering to sell him information about Project Stonefish, though, neither man knows what to make of it. Sam still has questions about the training operation that caused him to leave the Army—and that ended in the death of someone Sam cared about. And Rufus is all too aware that when it comes to Stonefish, Sam’s judgment might be in question.

Everything changes when Sam and Rufus learn that the woman who called Sam has died from a suspicious overdose—and that, before she died, she contacted someone else about Stonefish. Someone who wants Stonefish to stay buried in the past. Someone with the power—and the ruthlessness—to make sure it stays buried. And to learn the truth about what happened all those years ago, Sam and Rufus will have to place themselves in the crosshairs.

Cover Reveal: A Friend in the Glass


This is not a drill! It's been three years in the making, but grumpy ex-Army wanderer Sam and snarky confidential informant Rufus—sleuths and boyfriends—are back!

Title: A Friend in the Glass
Series: An Auden & O'Callaghan Mystery
Book #: Three
Written: Gregory Ashe and C.S. Poe
Cover art: Reese Dante
Release date: Tuesday, November 26, 2024

If you're new to Sam Auden and Rufus O'Callaghan, this is my co-written series with fellow mystery author and wonderful friend, Gregory Ashe. We released the first book in 2020—A Friend in the Dark—and have been slowly but surely continuing to get Sam and Rufus in love and in trouble. Maybe the coolest part of these books is the way in which we write them. No passing chapters back and forth via email or trying to share the dialogue of lead characters. We, quite literally, sit in a Google document together, for two hours at a time, and write. One page might be two paragraphs by Greg, one sentence by Poe, another sentence by Greg, so on and so forth. Every page is a melting pot of the two of us. I think this process allows for our very distinct styles to blend together and create a wholly unique narrative, while at the same time, not allowing readers to forget who we each are as authors, as I believe we can be readily seen in Sam (Greg) and Rufus (Poe).

Stay tuned for the reveal of the official blurb and pre-order links, coming very soon! And don't forget to add the book to your Goodreads shelf today.
