Karen Dustman has a new book available on the ACES site. Here's the description:

One hundred years ago, an unexpected tempest roared ashore in Miami, leaving destruction in its wake. Through gripping personal stories and rare vintage photographs, this book brings the forgotten hurricane vividly to life. Survivors recount moments of terror, resilience, and hope as they braved the storm's wrath and its aftermath. This devastating event proved to be a watershed moment for Miami, abruptly ending its overheated real estate boom and sending the city spiraling toward the Great Depression.

Blending history with deeply human experiences, this powerful narrative reveals how one devastating day reshaped a city—and the lives of those who endured it.

ANNOUNCEMENT: A few changes are coming at Dragon Crown Books in 2025. After a VERY busy holiday season full of events, we will be spending more time writing. First up, we will be releasing our twin volumes of "Shades of Love." This latest installment in our "Nightmare's Eve" series will feature stories of love and horror: one collection from Sharon and the other from my own pen. These will be launched on Dragon Crown's new imprint for horror and thrillers, ScreamCatcher Horror.

We will be focused in the coming year on our own writing and completing my project with Tempest founder, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Lief Sorbye on his biography: another two-volume set. Sharon and I are now hard at work on our first novel collaboration, a science fiction noir thriller. At least one new highway book is in the future as well. Sharon plans two new novels and has a number of short stories in mind.

To clear the deck for these projects, and in light of Sharon's continuing need to undergo chemotherapy for Stage 4 cancer, we will not be taking on unsolicited outside editing or publishing projects at Dragon Crown in 2025. We are very proud of the writing showcased in the two editions of the ACES Anthology, but for the aforementioned reasons, we do not plan on publishing a third volume in 2025. We will, of course, continue to voice our support for other writers, but we are not in a position to dedicate the time and resources necessary to giving a third anthology the attention it deserves.

Sharon and I would like to wish everyone the happiest of new years and look forward to producing more exciting fiction, history, and travel works in the coming year.
