Thanks for the welcomes :)

I haven't really read any murder mysteries, ValsBooks! That might be something I should consider as I'm looking to branch out a bit. Any thoughts? Thanks :)

Hi Luna! Great to hear from you. There are all kinds of mysteries out there. I have a special fondness for Dean Koontz (weird stuff) because the relationships his characters have with each other are very endearing, he gives fantastic visuals and he's quite poetic. I also love medical thrillers (Michael Palmer's 'The Patient') and forensic mysteries don't get any better than Jeffery Deaver (The Bone Collector is a classic and unsurpassed in my humble opinion). But my favorites are the fun ones, like the novel I released this past July, Wiretap. You can find it pretty easily on Amazon (paperback and kindle), complete with author bio. I'll be releasing a new murder mystery the beginning of July and I'm currently happily at work on the cover art.

Take care and Happy Reading! Let me know what you end up choosing. So many books...so little time. :-D

Hi Valerie, nice to meet you! Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions; I'll have to see what my library has available first :) I'm going to check and see if my library can order your book. We're a bit poor at the moment and we aren't buying books, but if my library can order your book, I bet loads of people would find out about you. Congratulations on getting published! :) Thanks again for the suggestions, it's exciting to have a new genre to consider. Take care :)

Hi Luna! Thank you for the note. It's nice to meet you too :-). It would be great if you could ask your library to purchase Wiretap. That's an area I've been working on recently, and it has been quite a challenge even getting local libraries to show an interest. But it's all a learning experience and with my next release this year, I'll be even more prepared to give them what they want. But one thing I do know is that if library patrons request specific titles, they're more apt to purchase them and some do use Amazon to find good deals. Thanks again and have a terrific evening. Let me know what book you choose, if I've read it before it'd be fun to compare notes. Take care.
