Hi Susan,
I wasn't able to find your email address and for whatever reason my message to you didn't go through on Goodreads's private messaging system.

Glad you got it. Apparently my Amazon giveaway confused several people, including myself. Enjoy the book.

It should be showing up as a paperback.

Thanks Susan, it was fun to write. I do have another book that might appeal to horse lovers, simply because it's a western mystery. Although it's written in a Victorian style, so not exactly middle grade. Anyway, I'm glad you won the book.

If you're interested in reviewing Knight Time for Paris, I'm offering a paperback giveaway on Amazon. Or, if you just want to read the book, get one for free. If you do review it, you can give me a review suggestion for another title in the same genre. It would be much appreciated. The giveaway should be up and running shortly at https://giveaway.amazon.com/p/eba40ee... Here's the blurb for the book:
Pigalle and Montmartre, two districts in the heart of Paris, have fallen under the influence of drug dealing gangsters who threaten not just the nation's capital, but France itself. The last thing Parisians expect is a medieval counterattack, but a handful of nobly minded men, aided by a young historian, believe that only the crusading spirit of the Middle Ages can turn the tide. They have no idea what kind of sinister force awaits them, but neither does the enemy understand who these knights really are, or where they come from, or what they're capable of. Knight Time for Paris was runner-up in the Athanatos Writing Contest.

I need reviewers for Life in a Casket. The novel is set in 1857 and the protagonist is a young woman, Addy Furlough, bent on establishing herself in a frontier town (Brownville, Nebraska) and investigating some suspicious activity. Addy tells her story in the first person and she's got spirit, repartee, and gumption. I used Catharine Sedgwick, a popular author of the 1850s, for Addy's Victorian manner of speaking. Most all events and characters in the story are pulled out of the newspapers, letters, and journals of the time period. But it is not a history of Brownville per se. I think a reviewer or two were expecting this, and the story let them down in that respect. Rather Life in a Casket is a bit of an adventure story, so I need some more reviewers with this frame of mind and taste to properly assess the book. If you want a review copy, just email me at pdshires@gmail.com. Thanks.

I've just reviewed The Time I Saved the Day. See my review at

If someone would like to review my book, Life in a Casket, about a young Victorian lady establishing herself in a man's world, Brownville, Nebraska, 1857, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Preston Shires
