TOPAZ' TRAP, a murder mystery that will (to quote a happy reviewer) "magically transport you from the vibrant streets of Orlando to the dark and mysterious cemeteries of New Orleans," is finally available! There's a link at the bottom here. But first, I'd like to tell you a little story and thank the hundreds of fans who wrote to me and waited so patiently...
Several years ago, Julie O’Hara, my fictional body language reader and insistent alter-ego, nudged me into writing Castle Cay. It was my first murder mystery and an exquisite sort of hell. I felt like a tadpole swimming the English Channel in terrible weather but damned if I'd quit before I got to the other side. When it was finished, I told Julie, “Forget it. I’m not writing another novel!” But readers loved Castle Cay, so I dove into #2, Swan Song, all the while hating myself for listening to her and plunging into that turbulent water a second time. To my surprise, you gave Swan Song even better reviews!
I was developing a smooth stroke and enjoying myself with #3, Mystral Murder when my husband's health deteriorated. By then, I was addicted to swimming and felt like Wonder Woman. So, to Julie’s delight, I dove into #4, TOPAZ' TRAP... but I wasn't Wonder Woman. Despite Julie’s nagging to keep going, I had to turn around midway and come back to care for my husband. There was no time for swimming, and TOPAZ' TRAP remained an unfinished tale.
That was five years ago, and now my beloved husband is a resident of a nursing home. During those caregiving years, my awesome readers kept buying books 2 & 3 and supporting us. I had decided back in 2013 to make book #1, Castle Cay, permanently free, and more than a half-million readers have downloaded it since then. Many of you took the time to rate my books and write lovely reviews about Julie and her handsome investigator/lover, Joe Garrett, keeping the three books always between 4 and 5 stars on Amazon and other outlets.
No, I'm not Wonder Woman... just a grateful author who wants to give you, my wonderful readers, the book I promised a few years back, #4 Topaz Trap. Thank you all, so much. Please click on the link below for a peek at this intriguing story. Like the other Julie O’Hara Murder Mysteries... I bet you won't figure out whodunit!
