An imPerfect Trap

A fae shows up uninvited in Paul Bonhomme’s territory of Toulouse. He was never going to just let that slide. Now he’s trapped in a locked room mystery in another dimension, at the mercy of a psychotic faeling’s twisted game. What does it want? And what price will Paul pay to find his way home again? Reincarnating every time he gets killed doesn’t help when the trap won’t let him die. Dark humour. Strong language. Graphic violence. Exactly what you’d expect from the beginning of something 9 books long.

A Hidden Witch’s Inheritance

Before the bookshop. Before the mood ring incident. Before Silas and his permanently closed curtains.

The story of what her grandmother built, why she kept it a secret, and what it will ultimately cost her granddaughter to keep it standing.

Magic. Misfits. Found family in its earliest, most tentative form. And a hotel that is, even then, already up to something.

Heart, humour, and the slow dawning realisation that something very strange is going on in room 7.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before you commit to free books
(which is, honestly, a low bar)

Do I need a Kindle to read these?

No. BookFunnel delivers to any device — Kindle, Kobo, phone, tablet, or the free Kindle app. They’re very good at it. It’s essentially their whole thing.

Which series should I start with?

Gritty, darkly funny, male POV, immortality as a curse, a lot of dying? — start with the imPerfect Cathar. Female-led, found family, slow-burn romance, hotel that is a portal to other worlds? — start with the Broken Hotel. Both start with free novellas. You can try both. This is not a loyalty oath.

Are the books available in audio?

Yes. The imPerfect Cathar audiobooks are narrated by C.N. Rowan himself, which is either admirable commitment to his art or alarming self-confidence. Reviewers consistently say it works extremely well. The free prequel novella is also available in audiobook format.

What’s in the newsletter?

In C.N.’s own words: “Regular inanities from my increasingly chaotic life in South-West France.” In practice: new release announcements, behind-the-scenes material, occasional bonus content, and the kind of author updates actually worth reading. You can unsubscribe any time, though C.N. will be devastated, obviously.

Is the content suitable for all ages?

Both series contain strong language, dark humour, and violence. The imPerfect Cathar also contains graphic violence. Neither contains explicit sexual content. They are books for adults who appreciate their comedy dark and their magic consequential. If unsure, the free novellas are the perfect way to test the waters.

Is the imPerfect Cathar available in French?

Yes — as Cathare imParfait, translated by Perri Corbett. So you can enjoy Paul Bonhomme dying repeatedly in the language of the country he protects. C’est magnifique.
