Here’s the Book Life Review for Killers!
Plot/Idea: 8 out of 10
Originality: 9 out of 10
Prose: 8 out of 10
Character/Execution: 8 out of 10
Overall: 8.25 out of 10
Assessment:
Plot: A wild romp to find a murderer has a little bit of everything: gore, fun, and humor. The narration and action have tension throughout as the characters are on an intense mission. The author and characters have a strong passion for the plan that is laid out. This sixth installment in this series with these characters stands alone even though the characters continue to change and evolve throughout the series.
Prose: Dramatic and fast paced, the author has used direct and forthright texting language–sure to appeal to a broad contemporary audience.
Originality: The unique writing style is risky, but largely succeeds. Mixing the informal tone with gore and intense action as well as humor, creates an interesting contrast for the reader.
Character/Execution: The main character is a force who is humorous and pulls the other characters along with her. Side characters are well-developed and interact with the protagonist in a manner that enhances her personality.
The 1st Draft of Sister! is finished!
And Now the Fun Really Begins
The first draft of the seventh book in the Natalie McMasters Musteries series is finally finished. It came in at about 72,000 words. It’s easily the most complex Natalie McMasters tale I’ve ever written.
I’ve scheduled the launch of the Kindle edition for December 5, 2022, with the paperback to follow soon afterwards. Between now and then I’ve got to produce a second draft and an edited, finished copy.
As for my earlier books, I’ve hired RaBT Book Tours to handle publicity chores and run a five-week blog tour starting in January. I’ll publish the blog tour schedule here when I have it.
It’s still not too late to join the street team for Sister! and receive an advance review copy (ARC). If you join, you’re making a commitment to read the ARC and to post a review on Amazon during release week. If you want to join, let me know through the contact form on this website.

Petition Amazon to change its return policy
So Amazon is now allowing customers to return Kindle books after they have been fully read, and charging the author for the return. This is wrong — the author is not even paid for the read, as with Kindle Unlimited. Please go to the following link to sign the petition to get Amazon to change unfair this policy.
