Thanks The Fussy Librarian Readers!

Big thank you to The Fussy Librarian for featuring Zion, my Louisiana mystery. I hope you like my book. I worked on it for six years, and I tried to be faithful to the heart of the Louisiana tale. If you read the book, please leave an honest review, and let me know what you think.

My other Kindles are available here: https://www.amazon.com/Dayne-Sherman/....

Again, thanks. And keep in touch.
