I'm closing in on the release date of June 4. Available for pre-order at a discount price. Search on The Overlook Murder at your favorite online store.

I've posted three very short excerpts, one of which should make you laugh.

I'm excited about how the cover turned out. This image looks very much like the overlook in Wintergreen, Virginia that inspired the story. Putting final polish touches on the manuscript. No issues reaching launch date of June 4, 2022. More soon.

The novel is available online stores everywhere. Here is a quote from a goodreads review:

"Since Bill is not actually employed by the police, there is little pressure on him to bring this case to a close, and you can feel that throughout the novel (I enjoyed it, felt like a nice break from the usual scarred, traumatised, addicted, socially inept detectives we see in crime books these days.)"

The book's ready to go, and I'm sending out review copies now. Read the first three pages by clicking my Goodreads blog post.

Update: The paperback version is now available on Amazon. The ebook version will be available July 1st.
