5/11/2023 0 Comments Help from My Friends Friday I am visiting thriller and romantic suspense author Donnell Ann Bell's website today. You can read my article here.
For when you need a more intense read, Donnell writes the Cold Case Suspense novels, beginning with Black Pearl. My new release, The Body in the Cattails, is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Release Day! Today is the official release day for The Body in the Cattails.
A burglar shatters big city lawyer Drew Brauner’s confidence in her rash move to a small Oklahoma town. The same night, a frightening visit from a prowler ruins IT expert Callie Garcia’s romantic dinner with her cowboy husband. The women meet at the new Rose Creek Reads book club, seeking distraction from the unsettling events. Shy chemist Makenzie Selkirk joins them. The hometown girl is a diehard fan of Rose Creek, nestled beside the Ozark foothills. The club is off to a great start, until the shop’s cat makes a horrifying discovery. The book club flier promised readers the chance to discuss novels and make new friends. It didn’t say anything about finding a body. The autopsy implicates the historic factory where Makenzie works. She jumps into the investigation partly to stop protestors from shutting down Brieswell Pottery Works, and partly to spend time with a handsome deputy. Clues are sparse, until Callie discovers a peculiar number. She invites Shanice Hailey to the club, hoping the university mathematician can break the code. When Callie introduces Shanice to a horse-whisperer, she learns match-making is as tricky as solving a murder. The new friends play at being detectives, until the mystery becomes deadly serious.

You could take a trip through time, visit a new planet, or hop on a train worn with memories. The possibilities are just a page away. Welcome to the third anthology of stories and poems written by twenty-one talented member authors of Pikes Peak Writers. It has been quite a trip this past year finding our way to the end of our journey and the beginning of yours. Journeys into Possibility will come to print this month. Bowen, Kim O., C.S., Steven, and Kim L. pushed through the slush pile of over 200 submissions. Then, the editorial team Deborah Brewer, Kim Olgren, and Kathie Scrimgeour compiled all of it to bring you these adventures in writing. The editors want to extend a special thank you to the cover designer, Josh Clark whose artistic eye hasn't failed, along with Pam McCutcheon who graciously stepped up to put it all together in a cohesive file that the distributor can work with. So, strap in and get comfortable as we travel into the imaginative realm of possibilities. Together, we will journey into all things possible and impossible. Once you’ve been there and back again, you won’t be quite the same. 2/26/2023 0 Comments Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine My short story Claire's Cabin appears in the March/April 2023 issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
In Claire’s Cabin, three women settle beside the fireplace in a mountain cabin after a successful deer hunt. Friends since high school, each faced small town gossip and condemnation for their youthful indiscretions. They discuss an old mystery – the disappearance of an eccentric artist's abusive husband fifteen years ago. The former owner of the cabin they're in used found materials, including dead animals, in her artwork. After her husband vanished, Claire moved to a New Mexico artists' colony and found the peace she always desired. The women hunters puzzle over the mystery, while enjoying the second chance they each have achieved. |
