As you can see from below in my signature line, I have two new books out right now. Lake Charles is an Appalachian noir with a hardboiled edge. Quiet Anchorage is a small town cozy mystery featuring a pair of sisters as senior amateur sleuths.

What do these mystery books of polar extremes say about me? Only that I enjoy reading and writing in both subgenres. I tend to lean more toward the hardboiled stuff, but I also like the change of pace that the variety offers me.

At any rate, both titles are ready for your instant download to your Kindle or Nook e-reader.

Lake Charles snared a favorable review from Publishers Weekly while Quiet Anchorage has attracted some enthusiastic reviews from the dedicated reader weblogs.

Quiet Anchorage is the first in a series. If it sells a few copies and if the readers like it, I might be able to bring out the next title, Bermuda Canard. So, if you're a cozy fan at all, please consider adding Quiet Anchorage to your Kindle or Nook queue.

Thanks for your interest. Now it's back to work now.
