Murder in Whitechapel

2012

About Murder in Whitechapel: Emmanuel Ortiz holds an ancient and dark secret... His real name is Judas Iscariot. Forced to walk the earth as a cursed immortal, Judas' disguise as Emmanuel does little to ease his eternal loneliness. Having recovered nine of his thirty blood coins, his focus is not yet on redemption for his treacherous role in the betrayal of Jesus Christ. Distractions come easily for the rich entrepreneur and sometimes sleuth who presently resides in England, 1888. Fascinated by the spate of murders in London's poverty stricken Whitechapel, Emmanuel soon realizes the killings resemble others he is familiar with, and the bloody signature of killing and taunts speaks to the unholy talents of yet another immortal...an enemy from long ago. This knowledge fuels his determination to track and apprehend the infamous Jack the Ripper at any cost. With the backdrop of a Victorian Society, rigid and moralistic, along with the plight of those less fortunate, Emmanuel seeks to align himself with Scotland Yard. With the help of his immortal pal, Roderick Cooley, and by pretending to be an American private investigator interested in the horrific prostitute killings, he sets out to stop the senseless bloodshed. But, has he bitten off more than he can chew, by immersing himself in the slums and disease of the Ripper's hunting grounds? As the mystery unfolds it becomes the ultimate test...not only of his abilities as an immortal, but also of his very soul. Praise for Aiden James: "Aiden James is a master storyteller...

Curse of Stigmata

1737

About Curse of Stigmata: The immortal Judas Iscariot (known by his alias, Emmanuel Ortiz) is hot on the trail of two precious coins believed to be part of the bounty once paid to him for betraying Jesus Christ. The coins are rumored to be in the possession of a Pyrenean mountain Shepherd, whose beautiful, but disturbed daughter, Rachel, is purported to be something even more rare than a Judas blood coin: a genuine stigmatic. It turns out to be a deadly combination for Emmanuel. With blood on his hands and a failed mission to retrieve what is rightfully his, finding his second coin becomes a race against time. Traveling thousands of miles across the world's grand open waters with fellow immortal, Juan Garcia de Moguer, the captivating Rachel, and a ruthless Dutch pirate slave trader named Captain Dirk Chivers teaches Emmanuel an important lesson about himself. How far is Judas willing to go to get what he wants? Be sure to check out more of Judas Iscariot's adventures in The Judas Reflections: Murder in Whitechapel, by Aiden James & Michelle Wright.

The Maid of Heaven

2015

Praise for Aiden James: "Aiden James is a master storyteller... Out-freaking-standing-excellent!" ~Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews for Plague of Coins "We are watching a master at work." ~J.R. Rain, Bestselling Author of the Vampire for Hire series About Maid of Heaven: The year 1429, in the region of Orlèans France, sets the stage for the emergence in history of one very brave girl: Joan of Arc. It also marks a key moment in the evolution of one of the most reviled men to ever walk the earth. Emmanuel Ortiz—better known as the immortal Judas Iscariot—may not understand why he is drawn to serve Joan and her desire to free France from the specter of English tyranny. However, he is compulsively drawn to her unusual mixture of innocence and grit to the point her noble cause becomes his own. But with any adventure involving Judas, this one comes with danger and heartache—as great as any he has endured during the past fifteen-hundred-years walking the earth. Fortunately, Roderick Cooley is also along for the ride, ready to rescue his long time friend when trouble is found. In the case of Joan of Arc, enemies and potential pitfalls abound. The arrival of a long time enemy hell-bent on making sure Judas/Emmanuel never finds lasting peace or love spurs Joan and her immortal companion to make difficult choices that could forever alter the course of history. Can the struggle between an accursed disciple seeking to better understand the will of God Almighty and the anointed teenage girl given to visions she cannot turn away from be happily resolved? …Or, must Joan forego all of her personal desires in order to save France from falling into oblivion? These questions and more are waiting to be answered in Maid of Heaven.
