A New Mexico pottery dealer cracks a perplexing mystery in this “winning blend of humor and character development” (Publishers Weekly). Hubert Schuze is an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and he has a fairly lucrative side gig digging up ancient relics and selling them. He also seems to have a talent for finding killers. When Hubie discovers a body outside his pottery shop, it appears the victim was stabbed in the back with something resembling a screwdriver. But the story gets a lot more mysterious when a video turns up showing the man collapsing with no one else nearby. Furthermore, a slip of paper is found in his pocket, with Hubie’s name and address on it, suggesting there may be a connection between the two men—though Hubie has no idea what it could be. Now, the professor and pottery expert must put his sleuthing skills to work—while simultaneously managing his new role running the university’s art department—to piece together the shards of a baffling crime in this “breezy” novel from a winner of the Left Award for Best Humorous Mystery starring a “witty” amateur detective (Albuquerque Journal). “[A] winning series.” —Susan Wittig Albert, New York Times–bestselling author of the China Bayles Herbal Mysteries

AJ’s podcast, named #EOTW, is really starting to take off.
Granted, she still does most of her recording in her closet, but still—she’s discussing interesting things and getting a few listeners, and that’s what matters to her.
EOTW stands for End of the World, and that’s what she talks about on her podcast.
She speaks with military experts who believe WWIII is right around the corner, with epidemiologists who believe a plague is coming, and astrophysicists who believe the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs might be a fly on the windshield compared to what can really happen.
Despite the apocalyptic themes, AJ’s podcast is fun. There’s no doom or gloom—instead, her guests and her audience have a good time speculating about what might happen, and try to figure out what steps we can take to avoid our own destruction.
But then AJ’s boyfriend disappears, and strange things start happening to her.
Strange, unexplainable things that portend a real #EOTW is right around the corner.
She soon realizes that whatever is happening, it’s not just speculation. It’s real, it’s powerful, and it might already be here.
From the editor:
“I loved this SciFi Podcast tale from Jonathan Maas, and read it in one sitting. It might be two or three sittings for you, but I don’t believe you’ll be able to put it down. In true Jonathan Maas fashion it takes on some grandiose themes, but it finds a way to be a bit more uplifting than his usual fare.
Check it out! I loved it, and I believe you will as well.”
