Collection being planned

Allan and I love volumes that collect multiple books of a series, as it takes up less space in a book shelf. Therefore I planned to turn the first 4 novels into a volume, rather than the usual three at a time, to play off for/four with 4ever Begins. Conveniently it will have all that takes place in 1947, as Forever Chosen is set in February 1948. One of the hardest parts is deciding on the cover-- I'm thinking of showcasing the comedy aspect a bit. What would you like to see for the cover? 

Sound Sample Saturday - Forever Festive Chapter 1

Yes, we know we ran this chapter back in December, but we only took the story so far. Plus, it was 3 months ago. So we'll be repeating those same 4 chapters over again so you can be reminded what was going on. Then we'll be running several more chapters that you haven't heard yet. So please sit back and enjoy. Besides, a good performance is always worthy of an encore.  

Chapter 1 - "Harold T Angel"

The smell of blood... and many other things.

 Lately I've had a bit of an interest in perfumes with cool names... but just a bit of an interest because I find a lot of commercial scents don't really work with my asthma and migraines. 

But I've always been good with essential oils, so I looked up how to make your own perfume base and it's super easy. The smell of blood, mentioned above, is actually rust and I'm going to experiment to see how to extract rust's scent. 

I'm going to run a few experiments to get the perfect scents, but when I do, I may make extra and offer perfumes like Vampire Detective and Definitely Not Covert Ops. There won't be a Rasputin scent, though. 


Might be a bit crazy of me, but it seems fun.

"Forever Festive" Got It's 1st Review... A 5 Star One

Sorry, no Sound Sample this weekend. Very busy week averting a strike at work, assembling a new bed, and having family over this weekend. But I thought I'd share this bit of news...



5.0 out of 5 stars First Rate Christmas Mystery with Intriguing Characters

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021Verified Purchase

I enjoy reading Christmas mysteries, and while Forever Festive would have been a good read any time it was perfect for reading Christmas week. Rafael, who is a classic sort of 1940's detective except for an unusual twist, and Clara his British sweetheart have series of challenges to overcome before they can settle down to enjoy the holiday with Rafael's family. Can they find and save they imperiled young woman? What secrets are hidden under the surface of the town Rafael grew up in? And is there truly magic in Christmas Eve? The great thing is the prose is pure pleasure as you wind your way through this intriguing plot.

Remember: "Forever Festive" like all its predecessors is available for Kindle, Aubible, and Trade Paperback at the following links:
