Kasper Mützenmacher's Cursed Hat
by Keith
R. Fentonmiller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Magical Realism
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Berlin
hatmakers threatened by a veil-wearing Nazi known as the “stealer of faces”
must use the god Hermes’ “wishing hat” to teleport out of Germany during
Kristallnacht. They won’t be safer in America, however, unless they break the
curse that has trapped them in the hat business for sixteen centuries. Set in
the Jazz Age, Nazi Germany, and World War II Detroit, Book One of the Life
Indigo series is a family saga about the fluidity of tradition, faith, and
identity. It will appeal to fans of Everything is Illuminated and The Amazing
Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.

EXCERPT ONE:
Klaus
circled behind her chair. Isana set down the glass and sat stock-still. Only
her growling stomach and the electric whine of the overhead lights broke the
silence. Suddenly, an empty leather glove landed on the table. Seconds later,
cool fingertips touched her neck and gently worked into the base of her skull.
“You
are tense.”
“I
wonder why.”
Klaus
pressed harder into Isana’s flesh. His fingertips warmed, radiating heat into
her muscles. As much as Isana resisted, she couldn’t deny his deft touch felt
good. The stiffness in her neck melted in seconds.
No,
she told herself. Don’t relax. Don’t let your guard down.
Isana
tried to clench her muscles, but Klaus’s heat had already penetrated deep into
her spine. He seemed to have latched onto her nerves, holding them like a
marionettist would grasp puppet strings. Isana should’ve felt panic,
relinquishing her volition to this monster, but his touch had suppressed that
reaction as well. She was sleepy and light. Her body had lost substance. She
had dissolved into the hot, stale air, or evaporated into the overhead lights.
She was nothing at all.
When
Klaus unhanded Isana, her corporeal nature returned. In her bewilderment, she
momentarily worried her chair might give way under the weight of her body.
