You may find a couple more free installments (e-pub editions) on Google Play or Smashwords. I also signed up for a program where public libraries can get my e-books for free. If you have a library membership, ask them if they can 'order' some Blind Sleuth Mysteries for you... and many other readers. Kind regards from Nick(less)

Should I be writing about the blind?

Of course I care when a blind reader tells me she didn’t like a book of mine. I want to tell her I’m sorry, that I didn’t intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, and that I go out of my way to write only nice things about blind people. Come on, we’re talking about Daisy Hayes here!

What I don’t like, on the other hand, is when this same reader claims that I have no business writing about her predicament, Read more of this blog post »

D for Daisy by Nick Aaron
"Unique and enjoyable, but the ending...

Don't worry I'm not going to spoil the ending. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I'm having trouble with the ending. This is the first time I've read a book with a blind main character that is so accomplis" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Nick Aaron  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Without a word, Daisy took off her glasses and revealed the empty buttonholes of her crippled eyes in their full horror. Ralph was taken aback and fascinated at the same time. He started counting to ten in his mind while still peering intently at the ghoulish slits. Even the eyelids were atrophied; there were no eyelashes. After counting to ten, Ralph told himself, “All right, I’m over it now.” Then he reflected that the sight of Daisy’s eyes was disturbing and thrilling at the same time. She looked so naked. It was almost as if she’d taken off her clothes for him. There was something uncannily intimate about this situation.”
Nick Aaron, D for Daisy
