AUSTIN, Texas - Feb. 3, 2016 - PRLog -- Pandamoon Publishing is pleased to announce that Laura Ellen Scott has signed a multi-book deal with Pandamoon Publishing for her exciting new series, the New Royal Mysteries.

Shortly after beginning her studies, Lewis discovers a murdered military widow and her two small children in a backyard garden pond. When Jeaneane writes about the crime, she exposes the college town’s darkest secrets, but it’s a one-night stand with the killer that leads Murgatroyd to the truth of what really happened in that backyard and inside Jeaneane’s broken mind,” stated Zara Kramer, Publisher of Pandamoon Publishing.
