Making Connections discussion

Is the mysterious disappearance of an American in today's Saudi Arabia somehow linked to a terrible murder in Munich back in 1984? What is real, and what is not? Who is really who, and why? What is behind the murder, the kidnappings, and the nightmares all leading up to what end? COVERT DREAMS is an international thriller that will keep you on the edge of your chair. It grabs you in the very first sentence and then never lets go. The mounting intensity moves from the beer gardens of Munich to the burning sands of Arabia. Just as you think you have things figured out, wham, another twist! Do you love mysteries? Do you love thrillers? Do you love suspense? If so, then COVERT DREAMS is for you.

I really appreciate that, Sheri. And I will be very interested to hear what you think after having read it. Thanks again.

In addition to COVERT DREAMS, I also have two humorous novels I hope you will take the time to check out on my Amazon Kindle author's site: THE FAMOUS UNION, a rollicking romp through the halls of academia, and THE SURVIVAL OF MARVIN BAINES, a whimsical look at one man's attempt to cope with midlife.

This piece is written from the heart. It rings true. My newest baby, DEADLY EYES, a murder mystery set on the island of St. Croix, in the Caribbean, is ready to be born, and I was asked to write about my feelings in this online newspaper. I think you will all feel as I do.

I published my fourth book today. I hope you enjoy it. I thank you for your interest in my writing.

James Cuffy, better known as Cuff, is living in paradise with his girlfriend, on the small Caribbean island of St. Croix, where the sky is as blue as Cuff’s eyes, the ocean as pretty as Rosie’s cheeks, where the gentle lapping of the waves is a lullaby, and the swaying of the palm trees is a dance. The sandy beaches are as white as sugar, and the horizon is a world away. St. Croix indeed is paradise, the perfect place for living, laughing, and loving.

But the sandy beaches and the turquoise sea can provide no cover from the deadly eyes of the unknown stalker pursuing Cuff. Murder leads to murder as he attempts to untangle the terrible web in which he has suddenly become entangled.

The twists and turns are relentless, the roads of the fast action leading in all directions, but time is running out, and Cuff, his faithful Rosie at his side, knows it.

I wish only the best to all of you with your writing. I have decided to go back to the life I had before publishing on Amazon Kindle. I published four novels, all of which I liked a lot, but all of which met the same fate, falling into the deep hole of darkness. I am not sad. I will leave my four books up for what may be, but I will no longer actively take a role in their life. They must now stand on their own two feet. I gave birth to them, and now they are on their own. They have fled the nest. I am proud of them. They must now live their lives while I live mine. The stress I have endured these past few months trying to tell the world of their existence has taken too much of a toll on me. I will go back to doing what I do best, loving the best wife in the world. making life wonderful for my two adoring cats, reading the works of others, enjoying what life has to offer, luxuriating in my retirement, and traveling the world. I am the doting father of four babies who now live alongside their siblings on Amazon Kindle, and, since they are now all of age, I will allow them to live life on their own terms. I have met many wonderful friends here, and I wish you all the very best with your own writing. As for me, I gave it the old college try, I won some games, but, along the way, I finally realized that there is something much more important than stressing over the lack of sales of my own work, that there is much more to life than spending precious time on a a bridge to nowhere. Tomorrow is another day, and I fully intend to make the most of it by enjoying fully the wonderful place where I am so fortunate to live, Southern California wine country, where I will move on with my life, happy in the knowledge that I tried my best at something I loved, and, for that, I am proud. I thank the so many of you I have had the great pleasure to interact with here on this forum. Auf Wiedersehen, and all the best to you!

My newest novel, DEADLY EYES, is also now available in paperback, along with its older sibling COVERT DREAMS. It is a Caribbean mystery/suspense thriller set on the island of St. Croix, where I was an English professor for four years at the University of the Virgin Islands. It has already received some very high-profile praise:

"Michael Meyer has done it again, weaving a fascinating tale of murder and intrigue in the tropical paradise of St. Croix that will keep you turning the page to the very end." -Nick Russell, the bestselling author of BIG LAKE

"The ride is fast and furious and the outcome will leave you blindsided....I recommend Deadly Eyes to all readers for its fast paced action coupled with the mesmerizing and intense suspense." - Marilou George, THE KINDLE BOOK REVIEW
