Third novel in Jackalope Stories series is author's "most ambitious" to date
On February 18, 2022, independent author Jake Nickens published "The Lost Prairie BBQ," an urban fantasy and romance novel set in southern Louisiana and western Texas. "On their two-year anniversary, Kat and Nick Murphy have a lot to celebrate," the synopsis reads. "With former ballerina Kat on track to complete her Ph.D. and Nick on the verge of success in the boxing ring, both have reason to be excited. Unfortunately, the happy couple find themselves suddenly separated when they capture the attention of a malevolent entity in a gray suit." Readers follow Kat Murphy as she "undergo[es] a dangerous odyssey," seeking answers "in a remote barbeque joint in the Chihuahuan Desert." |
Long-time readers will find much to love here: vivid settings, a gripping plot, and the comfort of some returning characters. In his self-professed "most ambitious book to date," Nickens tells an adult story suitable for children, progressing the larger narrative while delivering another memorable fantasy.
