Greylock

Real books are on the rebound. Why? Comprehension and emotional engagement are higher for readers who are reading hard print on the page as compared to ebook readers tracking words across a lit screen. Publishers Weekly reported last year that print books are selling better than ebooks. But I still do love my Kindle.

So, for all you lovers (myself included) of the textural feel of paper-turning action while reading, for all you who savor the swishing of each page as you journey into a story, for all you who admire beautiful book covers on your tables and eye-catching spines on your bookshelves, I’m happy to announce that Crispin Books of Milwaukee, Wisconsin has just launched GREYLOCK in a trade softcover print edition.

“Echoing notes of Phantom of the Opera, mixed with Raymond Chandler’s Marlowe, and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story, Greylock is a thrilling musical tragedy steeped in lore, mythology, and the madness of composition, leading to a crescendo of epic proportions. Paula Cappa is a gifted author, and this book will have you swooning in the aisles.” —Richard Thomas, author of Disintegration.

Greylock

When was the last time you read an English murder mystery, a jazzy little puzzle, in the suspense style of Agatha Christie?

Reading Fiction Blog has a short story, FREE, to go with your lunchtime reading. "The Unsolved Puzzle of the Man With No Face" by Dorothy Sayers. A Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery.

Joyce Carol Oates praised author Dorothy Sayers in the NY Times: Lord Peter is a tour de force, superior to the tricky plots his creator has stuck him in; unlike most series detectives in what might be called the crossword-puzzle mode, of which Sayers is a master."

A Chanticleer Book Award Winner, 2015.

U.S. Review of Books: “Cappa's latest is nothing less than a mind-boggling mystery … always keeping an elusive edge to her characters' personas—a plot replete with all the wonderful trappings of a romance-laced mystery with unexpected twists and turns.”


Greylock
Murder, lies, romance, betrayal. When pianist Alexei Georg plays an old Russian sonata, a dark musical power invades his life, haunting him from Boston’s music society to Russia to the summit of Mt. Greylock, where he must find a way to halt the dark force within his music or become prisoner to its phantasmagoric power. From Boston's music society to the White Sea in Russia to Mt. Greylock. Murder. Music. Mystery.

"Briskly paced, this novel was a genuine pleasure to read.”—David Corbett, award-winning and best-selling author of The Mercy of the Night.

Agatha Christie Obscure Murder Mystery: Philomel Cottage (free short story).

A romantic twisty tale, set in a cheerful English village of gardens and gossip. Murder plans and the dark psychological powers of dreaming prevail with an unpredictable ending. Christie's compelling narrative suspense, as always, does not disappoint.
