Lo Que Sabía El Gato
Este libro tiene todas mis cosas favoritas: corazón, gran escritura, edición casi perfecta, algo inusual en el aire y un gato.

Reg Rawlins, estafadora profesional, esta vez se ha metido en un buen lío.

El trabajo de adivina empezó como una estafa, pero de repente se ve enredada en el caso de Warren Blake, un hombre al que creía muerto. Resulta que todavía puede estar vivo, pero en peligro de muerte.

Reg siempre ha optado por la salida rápida, la salida fácil, pero salirse de este tinglado podría significar la muerte de otra persona.

Also available in English

Celebrating 11 Years on my Author Journey

looking over your shoulder ebook with pumpkins in background

Hello, readers!

As we look forward to Canadian Thanksgiving this Monday, I find myself reflecting on the many blessings in my life. I am very thankful for my author career and the technology and platforms that allow me to interface with you, my readers. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

October also marks the anniversary of my first novel being published. Eleven years ago, Looking Over Your Shoulder made its debut into the world, and what a remarkable journey it has been since then! I have since published another 117 books. In honor of this milestone, I’ve refreshed the cover of Looking Over Your Shoulder.

Looking Over Your Shoulderlooking over your shoulder book in bookstore

A peaceful life shatters under the weight of suspicion

Things were going well for Abe.  Despite all of his past struggles with mental illness, he was happily married, had three wonderful children, a nice home, and a fantastic consulting business that satisfied his creativity and brought in a good income.

But you can never get too comfortable.  When Abe becomes a prime suspect in a jewel heist – one of the largest successful jewel heists in history – his schizophrenia becomes unmanageable and everything begins to spiral out of control.  Abe’s own investigation into the heist has the jewel thieves hot on his tail… but are they really, or is he just losing the battle against his inner demons?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really liked the description of mental illness in this book and living with a person like that. I’m a nurse, not a specialist in a psychiatry but from what I know it is pretty accurate portrayal of a schizophrenic person. The mystery alone was very compelling, I only guessed half of the riddle so the reveal at the end surprised me. It was a great novel!

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Another great thing about this book was the main character, Abe. He was a likeable star, at least in my opinion. He has playful banters with his children, and the schizophrenia part of his character was done very well.

Will he uncover the truth before it’s too late? This compelling tale masterfully weaves themes of mental health with a riveting mystery that keeps readers guessing until the very last page!

Don’t miss out on this thought-provoking thriller that invites you into Abe’s world—a place where love and fear intertwine!

Begin your journey through this unforgettable tale filled with suspense, emotional depth, and shocking revelations!

“Absolutely fabulous as always.”

Author Notes may contain spoilers

When I wrote Shattered to Death, I needed a trigger to explain Rhys’s emotional breakdown/fugue state that led to his hospitalization and further treatment as part of that storyline. It wasn’t hard to imagine that he coul dhav ebeen sent a picture that might have upset him. .There are frequently stories in the news about violent pictures being shared among teenagers in particular.

The picture that Rhys received was particularly triggering because of the similarity in the cause of death with that of his grandfather, a murder which he had witnessed and had left him traumatized for many years.

By the end of Shattered to Death, I knew that Kenzie was going to need to solve the murder of this unknown victim. Not an easy task, when she didn’t even have the body.

Pictures shared on social media have provided the key to solving many cases. they are especially helpful if there are identifiable locations in the background or have attached metadata. Unfortunately, many social media platforms automatically strip this information out, as does capturing a screenshot from SnapChat or one of the many other photosharing apps.

In this case, Kenzie also has to find convincing evidence that the apparent victim in the picture is the actual victim of an actual murder. With stage makeup and/or the increasingly convincing photo-editing and photo-generating tools available, this part of the case may prove to be quite the challenge!

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”

A Literary Tour Gone Wrong: Discovering “Fateful Words”

Cinn-full Secrets release

Before you jump into the teaser, explore the delicious intrigue of Cinn-Full Secrets! Erin Price must solve a murder in her bakery before the timer runs out. Grab your copy now!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

Fateful Words marks the eighth installment in Paige Shelton’s delightful Scottish Bookshop Mysteries series, which currently boasts ten books. In addition to this series, Shelton is also known for her other cozy mystery series, including the Farmers’ Market Mysteries and the Country Cooking School Mysteries. I’m not sure whether I’ve read any books in the other series, but I have read at least one other in the Scottish Bookshop Mysteries, possibly two.

In this installment, bookshop employee Delaney Nichols finds herself unexpectedly leading a literary tour group in Edinburgh after her boss falls victim to a theft—though the specifics remain murky at this point. The plot thickens with a potential suicide, an assault, and an imposter among the group. Strange occurrences seem to be unfolding both within the tour group and at their hotel.

The Scottish Bookshop Mysteries has something for everyone—plenty of literary references, men in kilts, a cuddly dog (the cutest miniature Yorkie in all the world), and just a hint of the paranormal.


I looked at Rosie, the panic I’d seen coming from her now making its way through my system.

Paige Shelton, Fateful Words
fateful words quote Summary

When Edwin, Delaney’s boss at the Cracked Spine bookstore, leaves town on secret business, Delaney is called upon to guide his yearly literary tour around Edinburgh. But on the first night of the tour, at the inn where the tour group is staying, the inn manager falls—or is pushed—off the roof of the inn, and killed. Then, one of the tour members disappears, leaving a trail of puzzles in her wake.

In a race against the clock, Delaney sets out on the expedition of her life, following clues around Edinburgh to get to the bottom of this mystery. Exploring sights from Greyfriars Bobby to the Royal Mile to the Sir Walter Scott Monument, she’ll have to put the pieces together quickly, or the bookstore’s survival could be on the line…as well as her own.

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”
