Do you want to provide a book list so that we can include that with the contest promotion page?
Thank you for your message. Nice to know! I sent the ms to Graeme and he said that he will come back to me about it asap.
I am still waiting for amazon.com to deliver 'Study in Red'. I hope they do so this week, but tomorrow is a bank holiday here (14th of July and we have some chopping off of heads to commemorate) and few will work today as well.
Thank you, yes, I had a great Sunday. A French friend and I decided that we will pretend to be tourists. I think we must have walked miles and ended up on the Champs-Elysees eating ice-cream. It was then that we decided that it's better living here than being a tourist. We went by 21 Rue le Sueur and Ave Foch where I took photos of the three buildings the Gestapo had used for torturing.
How did you get them to release the book. DId you get my address in the last email. I am trying to promote my first two books and even though they are on so many sites it is hard to know if people are buying them. My publishing company reports the sales but it is hard to know if they are really giving accurate counts.l cannot believe that more people have not bought both books. I resent you my third book in a word doc and I hope you received it. I would use all the help I can get to market the first two before the third comes out. I have the ALZ project under control and want to get that one done using LULU so I do not have spend more money. I spoke with ALZ organization here in America and they will send speaker from their organization to any event that i plan in the future when my book comes out. Fran Congrats to you
Please feel free to send me a dedication page for my alzheimer's project. I am writing a book about the illness and how my mom dealt with it at the beginning and now. It will include memory pages of good times with her and dedications from special people to those who have or have had the disease. Let me know if you would like to have a dedication page included. I am doing this to raise awareness for a much needed and crucial cure. I emailed alz in the Us and UK and no response. I even told them I wanted to donate some of the proceeds to the organization. I am hoping to get it published for free this time using LULU. What do you think if I take all of my SCI stories and put them into a book once I am finished with the ALZ project. Fran
I am so glad that I inspired you to write the sequel. I would love to have your autograph for my books. You are my most special author and friend. Fran
Murder, Mayhem and Mexico is a brilliantly crafted compilation of three different stories all set in different places in Mexico. The first is “The Devil You Know,” which is about a 15 year old murder that is about to be solved. The next is “Compliments of the Boss,” which is kidnapping with a twist that the reader will not see coming. The final short story is a heartwarming and intriguing story of how a young child changes the life of a writer in an amazing and positive way.
The Devil You Know:
How far will someone go to keep a secret that could destroy the memory of a person? How far will a sister go to find out the truth about her younger brother’s disappearance and possible death? Such is the mystery behind this short, but interesting story about loyalty, deceit and murder.
Juan Morales is leaving the graveside of Father Rodrigo with the bishop of the church. The bishop wants to discuss the father and his death. As Juan was returning to where he left his car a young woman approaches him and asks to discuss the father and the disappearance of six choirboys in 1990 and the mystery behind the death of the priest.
Although Mari Lopez is a reporter, she is not there for a story. Her brother was one of the missing choirboys and she wanted to find out the truth behind his and the other five boys disappearance. Thus begins the story, which began in 1990, and the unfolding what really did happen.
The Father, as Juan related to her, was almost killed and disappeared along with the boys. The Father had apparently fallen fifty feet from the bell tower and was in the hospital. Juan went to see him and what happened next was both frightening and heartbreaking. When he visited the Priest in the hospital he was incoherent and started to say things that made no sense. Many of the things he said were quotes from the Old Testament that Juan thought had nothing to do with what happened to the missing boys.
The Priest kept repeating one thing over and over again. The Devil is in my Church. Juan did not understand at first what this meant or how his ramblings would lead to the missing choir boys and the truth behind his falling and what really happened to them.
When he the author does reveal the truth to Maria Lopez the reader all will become quite clear. But, you will have to read this amazing murder mystery to learn the truth for yourself.
Compliments of the Boss
Angelina was hired to oversee the operations of a travel company. Going out one morning to work she traveled on a deserted road and stopped when she saw someone in trouble. The road was devoid of other cars and people and the man who stopped her quickly abducted her and placed her in the back of his car.
When they arrived at their destination and he had her tied up she demanded to know and understand the motive behind his kidnapping. There were many kidnappings in the area and she knew that none of the victims ever saw the light of day again.
The kidnapper assumed that from her appearance she was rich and that her family or her employer would pay handsomely for her return. Going along with his demands and his train of thought, Angelina convinced him to call her agency, Aztec Travel. The kidnapper stated they would pay for her return.
Cunning, clever and deceitful, Angelina must devise her own plan to get away from this multiple rapist and kidnapper. Convincing him to allow her to go to the bathroom was the kidnapper’s downfall. Who is Angelina? Why was she able to overtake this man and teach him one final lesson? Who does she really work for and what is the mystery behind the drug trafficking and other illegal businesses that flourish in that area? Who does she really work for and what is her deadly secret? This reviewer will not reveal anymore. You need to read this story for yourself to find out the rest.
Mexican Therapy
A writer from England misses the companionship of his wife who left him. Finding a place to live in a small Mexican village, Harry learns the true meaning of friendship and kindness from a small child and her family.
Sitting alone and brooding about his life, precious young child comes up to speak with him. Telling him that she is related to the people where he lives, he engages himself in a conversation with Maria Alvarez. This conversation not only leads to a life changing experience for Harry but a possibly a miracle too.
Asking him to join her and her family to visit a close friend, she explains that this person will be able to make him feel better and understand his suffering and pain. The only thing is, he has to bring along a swimsuit on his journey, as this meeting will take place in the water.
The friend’s name is Nuna and he finds her in a pool. She was a magnificent creature and as he spoke with her he began not only feeling better but happier. He spent two hours talking with her and when he left he realized what people meant by “the therapeutic effect of swimming with the dolphins.”
He returns to see her many times and learns what she was able to do for Maria and how she cured the child from a fatal illness. Who is Nuna? What life changing results happened to Harry as a result of meeting her? You need to read this heartwarming story that will renew your faith in people and miracles.
Once again Brian L. Porter has written a five star short story book that embraces not the genres of mystery and thriller but a beautifully written short story about real life as well.
This review would love to find out more about Nuna and what else Angelina has in store for anyone that crosses her. Perhaps there will be a sequel to both stories.
