My publisher waited two months to release NOBODY KNOWS for the Halloween market since it is kind of creepy. Can't say it did a lot for sales, but it did seem appropriate.

Here are 3 recent ones: The spectacular new thriller by Gin Phillips, Fierce Kingdom, about the power of a mother's love; the fine literary crime/coming-of-age novel by Hannah Tinti, The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley; and Lola, by Melissa Scrivner Love about the female head of a 4-person Los Angeles barrio gang.

I was really pleased that Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine published a number of my short stories, a novella, and some nonfiction as well.

This summer I've been reading short stories, trying to get through the backlog of AHMM and anthologies I've collected over the last few months and only dipped into. Reading short stories always leads me back to another Conan Doyle story, and then on to Poe. I seem to circle around. But it's summer and sitting on the porch to read is pure heaven. Hope your summer reading time is equally satisfying.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564808806012504614.post-34970125446496903022017-07-10T06:19:05.374-07:002017-07-10T06:19:05.374-07:00Hi, Jacquie :) I'm perusing your list of books...Hi, Jacquie :) I'm perusing your list of books and authors and taking down titles and names :) Of course, two of yours listed on here are on my TBR list. What a delightful smörgåsbord of summer reading. Heck there's enough on here to carry me through winter! Fantastic! Ok, back on topic. One book I recently finished is Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine. The whole thing was gripping. Especially for anyone familiar with the dynamics of involvement with a sociopath who's very skilled at hiding their performance. The author delivered the interior thoughts of the female protagonist with such clarity that the reader was caught in this with her. On a different note, I downloaded Big Little Lies and read it too. Even though it's laced with all the nuances of female camaraderie and laughter, and can't truly be deemed an out and out mystery, there's enough angst in there to hold your eyes glued to the page. Again, I loved your list of recommendations, so I'm taking note for those I haven't already read. But, I think I'll pull from my TBR list and read one of yours first. It's been awhile since I've drifted to your corner and I'm ready to pay you a visit :) Ooops, I almost forgot, I'm writing cozies at the moment. The latest, The Verandah (Southern Breezes series) is set down Galveston way, like the one before it, Christmas on the Strand. Perfect! Come join me on the beach for a beach read! :) LoLoretta Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992133163167526850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564808806012504614.post-59853078590263951612017-07-10T05:52:18.537-07:002017-07-10T05:52:18.537-07:00Jacquie,

Thank you so much for recommending my Malone mystery series!<br />Like you, I'm a voracious reader. There are so many fantastic books out there, which includes yours. But, to save space, I'll only mention the book I finished reading last night, "Among the Wicked" by Linda Castillo.
