The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

As guests converge at Lymington's safari lodge, under the hot South African sun, it soon becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems. Fine food, incredible nature and a touch of romance soon turn sour as secrets old and new collide, as the body count begins to rise..... Everyone has a secret.......
A thoroughly old-fashioned murder mystery inspired by Agatha Christie

GOODREADS GIVEAWAY - Aug.8-Sept. 12 Enter to win one of 5 signed copies of Dangerous Habits, the first book in a new mystery series. If you like Kinsey Milhone, Mary DiNunzio or Jane Rizzoli, you'll want to meet Leah Nash.

Equal parts smart and smartass, reporter Leah Nash is rarely at a loss for words. But when a message from a dead woman reaches her just hours after the body is found, it takes her breath away.

Leah barely knew Sister Mattea. Their only connection is DeMoss Academy, a residential school for troubled kids run by an order of Catholic nuns. Leah's self-destructive sister Lacey died there. But Lacey's been gone for five years. Why did Sister Mattea need to talk with Leah after all this time?

Lacey's ex-boyfriend Cole offers a disturbing clue that plunges Leah headlong into a search for answers no one wants to give. But someone will do anything to stop the questions.

Everyone knows Leah would kill for a good story, but will she die for one?

Protecting Parker
Hello everyone,
Thank you for looking. I write contemporary fiction featuring strong women with military or law enforcement backgrounds, containing elements of action, suspense, and romance.

"Physically wounded and emotionally haunted by a harrowing overseas deployment for the Air Force, First Sergeant Parker Cotton returns home to face even more trouble. While she was overseas, her estranged husband, Alex Hamlin, has filed for divorce. He has gone from being remote and uncaring to violently paranoid - and Parker is now the target of all his rage. Master Sergeant Gray Townsend is fighting his own demons from the deployment. Gray feels he failed to protect Parker in the field, and he is determined not to fail her again.

“Awesome! Ms. Scott nailed it. She has obviously been there & done that1” ~ D. Danitz/MSgt (R) USAF Security Forces 83’-04’"

An historical thriller based in the American Revolution. Young Jonathan E. Lee is falsely accused of heinous war crimes by his treacherous regimental commander! Jonathan is forced to flee the colonies to save his neck from the hangman's noose, fighting his way across a stormy Atlantic and then joining a mercenary army that is deploying to warring Siam, a kingdom that is squirming under the iron-fist of a madman.

Greetings! I am Dr. Leonardo Noto, a former military battalion surgeon. The idea for "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive" was born out of my passion for American military history and my enthusiasm for the sport of muay Thai (Thai boxing). While training in a Thai boxing camp during the days and working on a novel based in the American Revolution during the nights, I noticed that Thai history during the 1780s was as turbulent as the American history of the period. After two years of detailed research, including nearly forty references, "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive" was born. I hope that you enjoy reading my novel as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Has this happened to you?

A Giveaway that I organized recently ended. I offered five copies of a book and had a large number of responses. But, when I received the list of winners, I noticed that all the mailing addresses for the five winners were the same. The names were different but the addresses were exactly the same. That had occurred once before as a result of another giveaway but only with two of the winners you had a common address. I got to wondering if my experience was unique or that others had had the same results.

The disconcerting possibility is that people are entering giveaways for the purpose of getting free books that they can then market through eBay or Amazon. Maybe my experiences unique, but, this experience is fairly common, it sure does bring into question the value of giving away your books.

Film Fab! My short, Slow But Shirl (excerpt from title & script, Deadwaiter) is an Official Selection at S. FL International Film Fest late fall. Dates to be announced. Being picked from 100's of entries is a win in itself.

I've recently finished my mystery novel Triquetra. It's been 'in the drawer' for a year before the final edit and now it's finally out there. It's a supernatural mystery with a touch of humour and also some vampires, but there is no biting or bodice ripping!

Sarah James inherits a bookshop in Devon from her estranged grandfather. Taking her brother Nick along they discover many hidden things in this sleepy rural village. Together with Nick’s mysterious friend Joseph they encounter murder, vampires and portals to other worlds. The trio have their own secrets too which causes events to converge in a race against time to stop a dark evil from penetrating our world.


Thanks for your time.

As increasing numbers of users become victims of an accidental overdose, it becomes clear that it is a race against time to prevent more people dying.

Then an horrific murder is committed.

In short order, the local force receive an outrageous ransom demand – one million pounds for the safe return of their officer.

A local, small-time street dealer and a young, homeless girl with a speech impediment hold vital clues ultimately separating life from death. Manning a skeleton team and with limited experience, DS Jackson is caught in a race against time to decipher the connections.

In the end, he will have to take a leap of faith…
