It's That Time of Year

It's that time of year. Christmas decorations have been in some stores since September! Now, with Thanksgiving fast approaching, many of us are thinking about presents for friends and relatives. Books are one gift that lasts for a long time, whether an Ebook or paperback.  And it is so easy! I presently have four books on Amazon for you to chose for your friend or relative. You can order my books on Amazon and have them sent to the reader. Ebooks are very easy to give as a gift. All you need is your friend or relative’s email address and they either must have a Kindle reader, or the Kindle reading program for their computer, table or smartphone. It’s that easy. Give them a wonderful gift that they’ll enjoy.

Like My Pages on Amazon

 I don't think anyone truly understands how Amazon uses "likes" on my Author Central page or on my individual pages for my books. I do know that it is important because the more likes I have on a page, the better chance I have that my books will be higher in a search. So, I am asking that you go to one or more of my book pages in Amazon and click on “Like”. I would appreciate the effort.

Also, if you’ve read one of my books from Amazon, write a short review. A review doesn’t have to be long and involved. Many reviews are just two or three sentences. One of my favorite reviews for The Possessor has the title: “Mac is my hero”.

The review was very simple. “I enjoyed this book. I became "attached" to the characters. I cared about them! I wish it might have ended differently, but it was fitting. I will surely check out this author's other books.”

The reviewer didn’t dissect the book, but her emotional involvement with the novel is evident. 

I appreciate all that you do to help me.

Looking For An Honest Man

My latest book, Looking For An Honest Man, is now available as an eBook on Amazon and ready to purchase. This has been a long time coming, but I believe this is my best effort yet. This is the first of a series of books featuring Olivia Kennedy Kimsey, amateur sleuth, with a new found psychic ability that looks to the past and not the future. Her daughter Samantha, and Samantha’s best friend Wally, joins Olivia in her endeavors to solve the mysterious disappearance of five women who were members of the cougar web site Fish In The Sea. Here is the blurb from the back of the book cover.

Olivia Kennedy Kimsey is in her late fifties, recently divorced, nearly broke and attempting to deal with single life and a nonconformist daughter. Self-hypnosis had brought some calm to her life and a restful night's sleep when the visions began—Olivia prefers to call them dreams—from a young murdered woman named Vickie Taylor. The dreams lead Olivia to uncover the unsolved murders of four women who had belonged to the cougar website: Fish In The Sea. Each woman’s profile stated that they were looking for an honest man, and that simple statement set them up for murder. Enlisting the help of her daughter Samantha and Samantha’s friend Wally, Olivia is drawn into a dangerous financial scam of lonely, older women. It becomes personal when Olivia’s childhood friend Gretchen shares her own surprise: she is a member of Fish In The Sea, and she’s found exactly what she’s been looking for: an honest man.

I hope that you enjoy Looking For An Honest Man as much as I did writing it. Many people have been asking me over the past three years if I’d thought about writing a series of mystery books. There are so many series out there, and I wanted to write something that was different. In fact, this didn’t start out as a series, but once I started writing, I realized that I’d found my protagonist that I thought could carry a series. Most series, except for Agatha Christie’s famous sleuths, concern a younger generation. I wanted to write about an older generation, but I wasn’t sure people would like it. What sealed the deal was the inclusion of Samantha and Wally. The counter-balance between the two generations has brought a life to the series that I never imagined.  My readers, both young and…mature have been enthusiastic about the book, and I want to thank them for their valuable input in writing Looking For An Honest Man.
