About the Author
Autumn Ware is the Big Chief Copywriter at Aware Copywriting, a New Orleans-based agency that creates persuasive prose for businesses in the United States and abroad. She’s also the devious mind behind the campy Cold War adventure series Perilous and Sparks. She lives aboard a 1974 Cooper Seabird sailboat with her husband, teenage son, two cats, and a dog. She has degrees in Literature as well as Philosophy and Religion from Appalachian State University, and prior to launching her career as a writer, she was an award-winning writing instructor in North Carolina.
Autumn is currently plotting to expand her repertoire via a series of travel memoirs. The first book The Wheels on the Bus: The change of life, the awkward age, and other roadside attractions will follow her misadventures as she and her son travel through the American West by bus. Puberty, menopause, and a few thousand miles. What could possibly go wrong?

This is like David Lynch taking Twin Peaks incorporating it into Mike Meyer’s Austin Powers giving birth to absolute entertainment. Her imagery and descriptive sentences place you in New York or in Paris. I think I can smell La Seine! The secondary characters are also most eccentric and winsome. If you want two or three hours of unmitigated escapist enjoyment this book is for you. Added bonus: there are more to come. YAY!
This book is everything the blurb promises—a campy, cloak-and-dagger story in which the crack team of Perilous and Sparks combat the evil Omega Foundation and locate a dangerous weapon that could destroy the planet. The author has created captivating characters—including two amazingly fierce, fearless, and stylish female secret agents.
It’s got sassy strong female leads, super spys with gadgets, high fashion, action, and murder. What more could you ask for? All the fun quirky characters were a blast to read about. Sparks and Bette are definitely my two personal favourites of them all. A.Ware’s descriptions wove a detailed scene for her thrilling tale to take place. It’s was truly wonderful how easily I could close my eyes and be in Paris whizzing around on a Vespa.
This was an absolute delight! Something of a James Bond with a twist, this story had everything I could have hoped for: action, fast cars, explosives, art, evening gowns with pockets. Les Stone Cold Killers offers strong and intelligent characters and a writing style that doesn’t talk down to its readers (as novels of the young adult genre are often want to do).
Imagine the TV show The Americans, but campy, set in the 60s, with gender-bending protagonists sleuthing the streets of New York and Paris. It’s intrigue, it’s resourceful soubrettes, it’s careening through the French countryside in an Aston Martin and spy gadgets that freeze or explode to keep you guessing. This book is flying first class when you thought you’d be in coach. It’s a delight. Looking forward to book number two!
This novel turns the typical spy novel trope right on its head. The adventure is set in the 60’s with two amazing female teen spies using their intelligence and training to solve a mystery through the streets of Paris. Its, campy, fun and full of cool gadgets and lots of action.
I would recommend this for teens and adults. I really can’t wait for the next book in the series.
I may be “grown up” already but this book made me rethink my life decisions. Why can’t I be a teenage spy that travels the world and thwarts evil-doers by using my wiley moves or my cunning mind? In truth though, this adventure kept me on the edge of my seat! I realize it is the beginning of a series, but I hate when I get to the end of a book and I wish it would just keep going on and on. (Or, maybe that’s a love-thing.)
