- [Audiobook Available for She Wore Mourning](https://pdworkman.com/audiobook-available-for-she-wore-mourning/) - One of my goals this year was to work on getting some more audio out. While I have a few audiobooks out, most of them are for stand alone books and YA, not on my longer mystery series, which is a poor marketing choice! Audio is expensive, so it can be tough to make your investment back if I don't get many buyers. But I have some strategies in place and hope to be able to pump up audio this year.

- [Stories with Strong Fathers](https://pdworkman.com/stories-with-strong-fathers/) - Time for a Father's Day blog post! It can be hard sometime to find representations of good fathers in literature. We have absent fathers, abusive fathers, and fathers who just drift in and out of the background. I confess that many of my characters have fathers who fall into these categories. They tend to come from traumatic backgrounds and/or families with secrets. But there are a few important exceptions.
- [Share A Story! Myths Magic and Mayhem](https://pdworkman.com/share-a-story-myths-magic-and-mayhem/) - May is National Share a Story month! There are so many great stories out there.

But I'm going to go with it! So here is a flashback to 2021.

Different races and backgrounds, disabilities, neurodiversity, and more.
- [It's Camp Nanowrimo Time Again](https://pdworkman.com/its-camp-nanowrimo-time-again/) - National Novel Writing month comes only once a year, but you can always join Camp Nano in April and July too.

- [On the Slab Pie and other new releases](https://pdworkman.com/on-the-slab-pie-and-other-new-releases/) - The time has come!

- [Books Featuring Prison Breaks](https://pdworkman.com/books-featuring-prison-breaks/) - I've done all kinds of themed posts and book lists here before, but one that I haven't done is prison breaks! This topic was prompted by my latest release, On the Slab Pie, which revolves around a prison break. As I was brainstorming for this book, I started to wonder how many people Erin Price had ended up putting in prison in the first seventeen books of the series. And... it's a fairly significant number. There are a couple of books where no one ended up going to prison for one reason or another, and other books where two or more people end up there. So I decided it was time for a reunion with a few of these villains!

- [Reading for Pain Awareness Month](https://pdworkman.com/reading-for-pain-awareness-month/) - As well as doing fun posts on peach pie and cherry turnovers or ice cream cones, I also discuss a lot of less-comfortable topics like human trafficking, abuse, mental illness, and so on. This is one of the less pleasant topics — chronic pain.
- [Celebrate Cozy Mystery Day](https://pdworkman.com/celebrate-cozy-mystery-day/) - We are rapidly approaching Cozy Mystery Day! Dame Agatha Christie's birthday is on September 15, so that was selected as the date to celebrate cozy mysteries! Time to catch up your reading on your favourite amateur sleuths. Jessica Fletcher stumbling across another body in Cabot Cove? Miss Marple peering out her window or listening in on the latest village gossip? A baker or knitter who just can't be held responsible for the rash of murders in her small town?

- [A round-up of autism posts](https://pdworkman.com/a-round-up-of-autism-posts/) - In Canada, October is Autism Awareness Month, so I thought I would include a post showcasing some of the autism posts I already have written on my site. It's easy to lose track of them after a while! Hopefully, you will find something here that is helpful or speaks to you. There are lots of great resources out there.
- [Good-Bye Angela Lansbury: A Tribute to the Beloved Character Jessica Fletcher](https://pdworkman.com/good-bye-angela-lansbury-a-tribute-to-the-beloved-character-jessica-fletcher/) - I was saddened to hear that award-winning actress Angela Lansbury had died October 11 at the age of 96. Lansbury’s amazing career spanned more than eight decades and included dozens of movie and TV roles. She was perhaps best known for playing amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the long-running mystery series Murder, She Wrote.

Because it is Dame Agatha Christie's birthday, and she is widely regarded as the creator of the cozy mystery. A cozy mystery is generally regarded as a mystery with an amateur sleuth like Miss Marple or Murder She Wrote's Jessica Fletcher, who uses her wits to solve a mystery before the proper authorities.

- [My 2020 Bookiversary](https://pdworkman.com/my-2020-bookiversary/) - October is the anniversary of publishing my first book. (The first book I published, not the first book I wrote—that was not fit for publication.) Believe it or not, that was back in 2013. I was dipping my toes into the publishing world to see whether it would be possible for me to write full time as my office job wound down in on a predicted five-year timeline.
- [A Whisker's Breadth and More Freebies!](https://pdworkman.com/a-whiskers-breadth-and-more-freebies/) - A Whisker's Breadth, book #9 in the Reg Rawlins Psychic Investigator series is free this weekend only!

There have been lots of #givethanks posts on my Facebook timeline this week, and I have been buoyed up by everyone's words of thanks. During challenging times, it is easy to get swamped by negative feelings and influences, and counting your blessings can provide a much-needed boost.

- [What's Coming Next?](https://pdworkman.com/whats-coming-next/) - I have a little break here between various releases and promotions, before having to come up with a really awesome Christmas post, and thought I would just give a few details on what is coming down the pipe from P.D. Workman.

- [Reading for Stalker Awareness](https://pdworkman.com/reading-for-stalker-awareness/) - January is National Stalking Awareness Month. Despite all of the advances society has made in the area of relationships, consent, and violence against women, stalking is still a very real problem. And despite the stuff you might see on TV, where stalkers are caught in the space of an hour, many people have been stalked for years, despite multiple police reports and protective orders. Stalkers are frequently released shortly after arrest and sentences when/if they are ever convicted of stalking can be very light. Then, they are back on the street and up to their old tricks.

I set out looking for suspenseful plots hinging on love for a sibling, parent, or other close family figure of the protagonist.
- [February Chills and Thrills!](https://pdworkman.com/february-chills-and-thrills/) - It's February, and that means it's time for a mystery and thriller round-up!

- [Cold as Ice Cream and More New Releases](https://pdworkman.com/cold-as-ice-cream-and-more-new-releases/) - It is release day for Cold as Ice Cream, book #13 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series! Erin and her friends are back, whipping up some special treats. Cold as Ice cream can be read as a standalone mystery, or together with the rest of the series. Book #1 in the series, Gluten-Free Murder, is
- [Springing into Easter Reads](https://pdworkman.com/springing-into-easter-reads/) - As well as the warmer weather and longer days, spring brings with it green grass, flowers (eventually...), baby animals, and Easter. So, how about some Easter and spring themed books? Although I have built up my repertoire of Christmas/winter themed books, I don't have much out yet that takes place around Easter. But I do have one on preorder with an Easter/Ostara/Equinox theme. Magic Ain't a Game is book #11 in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series but can be read as a stand alone mystery.
- [Encourage a Young Writer Day](https://pdworkman.com/encourage-a-young-writer-day/) - What a great idea! I know that I was interested in writing from a very early age. I have little construction paper books that I stapled together and scribbled in before I could even read or write. I have a number of stories and little books that I wrote while I was still in elementary school, and I wrote my first novel-length book when I was twelve.
- [New Releases! Changing Fortune Cookies and more](https://pdworkman.com/new-releases-changing-fortune-cookies-and-more/) - Changing Fortune Cookies, #14 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series is now available! If you did not preorder, click through and get your copy now! If you have not read anything else in the series, you might want to also pick up Gluten-Free Murder (free), or the collection of books 1-3 ($2.99 for a limited time)
- [Autism Acceptance: Reading about Intersectionality](https://pdworkman.com/autism-acceptance-reading-about-intersectionality/) - I was asking an autistic friend for his thoughts on topics of importance to autists in 2021, and his suggestion was to look at intersectionality. So now I have about thirty tabs open as I have been researching and digging up some resources for you. I hope you're ready for this!
- [Reading for Celiac Disease Awareness](https://pdworkman.com/reading-for-celiac-disease-awareness/) - May is Celiac Disease Awareness month. You may have heard of Celiac Disease and not know what it means. It has also been called Celiac Sprue and a couple of other names. While those with Celiac Disease react to the glutens (proteins) in grains, it is not an allergy like a peanut allergy. One of the things that I have had people ask me is which is worse, allergies or intolerance (Celiac Disease is an intolerance to glutens.) But it is very individual. Either one can be mild or severe. And with an intolerance like Celiac Disease, you may not realize that you have it, may not have any recognizable symptoms, but it can still cause damage that can result in serious illness such as colon cancer or the inability to absorb nutrients.
- [Release of Hot on the Trail Mix and more](https://pdworkman.com/release-of-hot-on-the-trail-mix-and-more/) - Today is the day! Launch day for Hot on the Trail Mix, book #15 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery mystery series. You can read it as a stand alone mystery or enjoy it with the other books in the series.

- [Bryan Stevenson's quest for change in Just Mercy](https://pdworkman.com/bryan-stevensons-quest-for-change-in-just-mercy/) - I have been fascinated with reading Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. It is full of amazing and heartbreaking stories of injustice, with lots of history about the changes in the law over the decades, statistics , and how these changes to the justice system have worked or not worked to the advantage of the poor, marginalized, and disadvantaged.
- [Books for Father's Day](https://pdworkman.com/books-for-fathers-day/) - Father's Day is coming! How about some books to celebrate dads? Many of the characters in my books are or were street kids and/or foster kids and they tend to have abusive or absent fathers. So I thought I would highlight a couple of them who had good relationships with their dads. I have also pulled together a sampling of other books showcasing good father/child relationships. I hope you find something here that you like!
- [Mental Health Awareness Month](https://pdworkman.com/mental-health-awareness-month/) - If you have been following my blog for long, you probably know that I am an advocate for supporting those with mental health issues in all aspects of their lives. As far as we have come in our understanding of mental illness, it is still stigmatized and our loved ones with mental health issues are still marginalized. You don't have to look far to find evidence of injustices being done to these important members of our community. Statistically, you are more likely to suffer a mental illness during your lifetime than to require corrective lenses.
- [Magic Ain't a Game and more New Releases](https://pdworkman.com/magic-aint-a-game-and-more-new-releases/) - Magic Ain't a Game, book #11 in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series is now available!

Of course, if you are in Australia, you can actually read about picturesque snowy scenes (or dangerous snowbound murder mysteries) while it is cold outside. Pull your chair up to the fire and grab a blanket and cup of hot chocolate!
- [Campfire S’mores & Cozy Mysteries: Sweet Treats Paired with Killer Reads](https://pdworkman.com/smore-mysteries/) - Celebrate National S’more Day with a variety of s’mores—each one perfectly paired with a cozy mystery novel to enjoy by the fire (or your favorite reading nook)!
- [Personal Power in Fiction](https://pdworkman.com/personal-power-in-fiction/) - books, to tell the truth) is that of personal power. What does Reg (or another character) do when faced with an insurmountable obstacle? In Reg's case, being a paranormal setting, it may be something as big as a magical being intent on taking over the world. That's a pretty big obstacle. But in other series, it may also be Chloe's struggle with homelessness and a traumatic history. Or Renata's ongoing battle with mito and paranoid schizophrenia.
- [Read Without Foresight and other new releases](https://pdworkman.com/read-without-foresight-and-other-new-releases/) - It is release day for Without Foresight, book #12 in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series.

The first release in my brand new Parks Pat Mysteries series. Unlike most of my books which are set in the USA, these ones are set locally, in and around Calgary, Alberta. And that means that they are full of beautiful scenery, history, and Canadiana.
- [Murder in the Park: Long Climb to the Top](https://pdworkman.com/murder-in-the-park-long-climb-to-the-top/) - It is release day for Long climb to the Top, Book #2 in the Parks Pat Mysteries series! Since I featured other new releases last week, I wanted to try something else this week, so I am focusing on other books with murders that take place in parks or natural spaces. Check them out!

- [Doctored Death and more new releases!](https://pdworkman.com/doctored-death-and-more-new-releases/) - Have you been waiting for the next book in the Kenzie Kirsch series? Your wait is over!

Doctored Death can be read as a standalone medical suspense mystery, or as part of both the Kenzie Kirsch series and the Zachary Goldman series.
- [Get Your Halloween Reads!](https://pdworkman.com/get-your-halloween-reads/) - It's that time of year! Pumpkins and fake body parts appear in yards, and our minds turn to murder... mysteries. I have pulled together a variety of books that are Halloween themed or touch on Halloween in their plots. My recently released medical thriller below, Doctored Death, for example, does not have a Halloween theme, but does take place around Halloween and includes a Halloween masquerade charity ball.
- [Fiction Books for ADHD Awareness](https://pdworkman.com/fiction-books-for-adhd-awareness/) - October is National ADHD Awareness month, so I thought it would be a good time to shine a spotlight on ADHD. I asked around in my author circles for fiction books with main characters with ADHD, and got... nothing. But don't worry, I didn't let that stop me! I have tracked down a number of books for you.
- [Nanowrimo—why or why not?](https://pdworkman.com/nanowrimo-why-or-why-not/) - I've written on Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) before. If you've hung out here for a few years you know that I participate every year. But why? I knew I wanted to do a blog post on nano today, and I was trying to figure out what to write. What it is that you want to know. What you would ask me if you had the chance (and you can ask me in the comment section below. I'll answer you!) What I originally homed in on is why or why not to participate in Nanowrimo. Some writers have very strong opinions on the matter. Some people love nano. Some people hate it. Some people keep trying it and giving up, some try and succeed, and some wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
- [Giving thanks for books!](https://pdworkman.com/giving-thanks-for-books/) - There is so much to give thanks for, even in tough times. We had a week of challenges last week, but have been blessed in so many things. Showing gratitude for the good things and blessings in our life is important, so it is nice to have a day set apart to do so. (Even if you are not in the USA, you are probably aware of US Thanksgiving this week.)

It is release day for Dosed to Death, A Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thriller #3. Dosed to Death can be read as a stand alone mystery or as part of the Kenzie Kirsch series. You will also be familiar with Kenzie, Zachary, and their other friends and family members if you have been reading the Zachary Goldman Mysteries. Kenzie and Zachary have decided to take a Thanksgiving vacation at a mountain resort. Well, of course a storm blows in so no one can get in or out, and you know what's going to happen, right? I mean, it is a medical thriller...
- [Cozy up with Snowbound Mysteries](https://pdworkman.com/cozy-up-with-snowbound-mysteries/) - remote private residence. The sleuth is there for a rest or vacation, not to investigate a case. But while he or she is there, someone dies. It's murder, of course. There is no way to get out, no way to reach the authorities.

- [Put a little mystery in your Christmas](https://pdworkman.com/put-a-little-mystery-in-your-christmas/) - I thought that Christmas mysteries would be a great topic for today's blog! There are a lot of great ones out there.

Here are some of the things that you can look forward to seeing this year!
- [What the Cat Knew and other new releases](https://pdworkman.com/what-the-cat-knew-and-other-new-releases/) - I'm really excited to introduce a new mystery series to you. Many of you have been enjoying the Auntie Clem's Bakery cozy mystery series. In Coup de Glace, you met Erin's foster sister, Reg Rawlins. She was such a fun character to write, she needed her own series. Having left Vermont, Reg has taken her fortune telling act to Florida, where there is a thriving paranormal community. Black Sands is different than anywhere she's ever lived before…

Not something I had ever heard of before, so I won't assume that you have either. Kabedon is a new trend in Japanese courtship, popularized in manga and anime. Kabe-don ("wall punch") is the act of the man slapping his hand on the wall next to the woman, pinning her in position by his proximity. He may place only one hand on the wall, or one hand on either side of her so that she is encircled by his arms. He leans in very close to talk to her.

- [Have a Non-Romantic Valentine's Day](https://pdworkman.com/have-a-non-romantic-valentines-day/) - This year, I wanted to do something a little bit different again. I wanted to focus on characters who were asexual or aromantic. But in searching for them, I kept running up against books that were about sexual relationships and romance, but from or including an ace/aro perspective or character. And I realized that wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for books that did not focus on romance at all. Where sex and romance were not the focus of the story, or even a subplot.

Corvin has magical abilities Reg does not understand, since it is considered to be in poor taste to discuss them.

- [EDS Awareness Month](https://pdworkman.com/eds-awareness-month/) - May is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome awareness month.

- [Observing World Schizophrenia Day](https://pdworkman.com/observing-world-schizophrenia-day/) - What exactly is schizophrenia and why a special day of observance? Here is an excerpt from NDTV: "World Schizophrenia Day 2018 is observed on May 24. Schizophrenia is a mental condition which affects normal functioning of the brain.

Reg has a sense of dread and she doesn't know where it is coming from. She doesn't know if she is in danger, if something is going to happen, or if she's just anxious for no reason.

I haven't seen the TV Bosch, soI don't know how faithful he is to the book series, but the Harry Bosch books are a fun read. In this book, Bosch is trying to unwind a series of family secrets as a private investigator, while he is also on the trail of a serial rapist in his part-time police position.

- [Pet Poisoning Awareness](https://pdworkman.com/pet-poisoning-awareness/) - March is Pet Poisoning Awareness month. It just so happens that my April release, Delusions of the Past, book #6 of the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series, includes plot twist (possibly) involving poisoning.
- [Uncovering Mrs. Hudson's Secrets in The Murder of Mary Russell](https://pdworkman.com/uncovering-mrs-hudsons-secrets-in-the-murder-of-mary-russell/) - I am about a third of the way into Laurie R. King's The Murder of Mary Russell, the fourteenth installment in her Mary Russell–Sherlock Holmes series. Though I have not read the other books in the series, it appears that so far this one is deviating from typical plot structure - there has yet to be a murder or any appearance by Sherlock Holmes
- [Excerpt from I Let You Go](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-i-let-you-go/) - I am re-reading I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh this week. I had to check to see if I had done an excerpt on it here before, but it doesn't look like I have. This is a domestic thriller/police procedural mashup about the hit-and-run killing of a five-year-old boy. Despite the fact that I figured out most of the twists ahead of time, it was still an enjoyable read. It is well-written and intriguing, even if you know the plot ahead of time.
- [Another Murder in Booktown: A Just Clause](https://pdworkman.com/another-murder-in-booktown-a-just-clause/) - It's wine & jazz festival time in Stoneham, but there's murder afoot! Can Tricia Miles solve this mystery before another body shows up? Read A Just Clause, book 11 of the #BooktownMystery series by @LornaBarrett to find out!

- [One woman vows to find the truth... before her time runs out](https://pdworkman.com/one-woman-vows-to-find-the-truth-before-her-time-runs-out/) - Six Weeks to Live is an exciting domestic thriller by Catherine McKenzie. Jennifer Barnes is a woman trying to solve her own murder
- [A heartbreaking novel about the impacts of residential schools on five indigenous children](https://pdworkman.com/a-heartbreaking-novel-about-the-impacts-of-residential-schools-on-five-indigenous-children/) - Five Little Indians is a heart-breaking novel by Cree writer Michelle Good, which explores how residential schools have affected lives in Canada. The book follows the lives of five indigenous children taken from their families and the physical and emotional impact of their experiences. It's horrible to imagine that this could happen in Canada, but of course, it did, to hundreds of children. This book brought me to tears more than once. I recommend it to anyone interested in understanding how residential schools affected Canadian and Indigenous culture and society.
- [The Devil's Sea: Fast-paced international thriller with high adventure, deep sea exploration and peril](https://pdworkman.com/the-devils-sea-fast-paced-international-thriller-with-high-adventure-deep-sea-exploration-and-peril/) - Clive Cussler's son, Dirk Cussler, has taken the reins from his father as master storyteller. In The Devil's Sea, he brings us a fast-paced international thriller undersea and though Tibet in a tangled web involving a Chinese missile, marine exploration, and a Buddhist relic. Expect high adventure, deep sea exploration. explosions and peril. Dirk does a great job continuing the legacy that his father started, with clean, exciting suspense that anyone can enjoy.
- [Nicholas Sparks tries his hand at Romantic Suspense](https://pdworkman.com/nicholas-sparks-tries-his-hand-at-romantic-suspense/) - Nicholas Sparks is a popular romance author, a genre which I don't often read. In See Me, however, Sparks tries his hands at romantic suspense, which is more in my wheelhouse. It has been an interesting story so well, with the promise of suspense and intrigue to come.
- [The Bell Jar - A Dark and Engaging Exploration of Depression](https://pdworkman.com/the-bell-jar-a-dark-and-engaging-exploration-of-depression/) - This book has been on my reading list for a long time, and I finally got around to reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It is a difficult-to-read fictionalized autobiographical account of mental illness, depression, and attempted suicide. The author/main character was hospitalized for therapy, including shock therapy, after a serious suicide attempt. Sylvia Plath tells it like it is and was heralded for her fresh, unflinching look at depression in our modern society, especially in women.
- [Southern Book Club Takes Readers on a Dark Ride](https://pdworkman.com/southern-book-club-takes-readers-on-a-dark-ride/) - The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix is billed as "Steel Magnolias meets Dracula." Sort of a horror book for those who might not usually read horror. While packaged like literary or women's fiction, don't be fooled.
- [A Journey into Botswana in The Kalahari Typing School for Men](https://pdworkman.com/a-journey-into-botswana-in-the-kalahari-typing-school-for-men/) - I'm not sure how many of the books I have read in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. Maybe just one other one. The Kalahari Typing School for Men is number four in the series. It can, of course, be read as a stand alone. The mysteries dealt by the ladies are not suspenseful and thrilling, but instead take you on a journey into the culture and streets of Botswana. It is a slower pace, with lots of domestic details and carefully drawn characters. It is easy to find yourself pulled into these books even if you are used to the faster-paced mystery thrillers.
- [Happy Autistic Pride Day](https://pdworkman.com/happy-autistic-pride-day/) - Well, it's almost the end of the day, but I still want to mark the occasion! Here's wishing you a Happy Autistic Pride day and many advancements in understanding and acceptance in the coming year. Here are a few posts that have discussed good (or not so good) autism books in the past. 
- [Learn about The Other People](https://pdworkman.com/learn-about-the-other-people/) - I am nearly finished The Other People by C.J. Tudor, and it has been an interesting journey! A well-built psychological mystery, with a bit of the supernatural thrown in, you're never quite sure what is real and how much can be explained logically.
- [A look back at the future in Click Here for Murder](https://pdworkman.com/a-look-back-at-the-future-in-click-here-for-murder/) - Click Here for Murder by Donna Andrews has been a fun and clever read so far. The main narrator (it has multiple points of view) is an AI personality that has gained sentience. I have not read book one in the Turing Hopper series, but there is enough backstory for me to understand the main points of what has happened prior to this story. I have read some of Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow series, which is quite good.
- [Guest Post: Have You Met Anastasia?](https://pdworkman.com/guest-post-have-you-met-anastasia/) - Crafts and murder don’t normally go hand-in-hand, but normal deserted magazine crafts editor Anastasia Pollack’s world the day her husband permanently cashed in his chips in Las Vegas and her comfortable middle-class life crapped out. Anastasia knew nothing of her husband’s gambling addiction. Now she’s dealing with debt greater than the GNP of Uzbekistan. She’s also stuck with Lucille, her semi-invalid Communist mother-in-law and leader of the octogenarian Daughters of the October Revolution.
- [Checking out a new series with Gone](https://pdworkman.com/checking-out-a-new-series-with-gone/) - I am just finishing up Randall Wayne White's Gone, the first book in his new Hannah Smith series. This is a difficult one for me to review. I am all for books that expose trafficking and predatory practices to the light of day, and inform people in an entertaining way, I had difficulty with the characters in this first in series.
- [Explore a Highland Mystery in Plaid and Plagiarism](https://pdworkman.com/explore-a-highland-mystery-in-plaid-and-plagiarism/) - This is a nice little cozy set in the Scottish Highlands. Four friends arrive to set up house and open up a bookstore, teashop, and bed and breakfast, but all of their plans go out the window when a body is discovered in the shed. Fun characters, lots of interesting developments, and beautiful covers make this a series I am sure I will be returning to.
- [Get your coffee fix with Roast Mortem](https://pdworkman.com/get-your-coffee-fix-with-roast-mortem/) - I am currently reading Roast Mortem, book 9 in Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse Mystery series. Cleo Coyle is the pen name of award-winning author Alice Alfonsi, collaborating with her husband, Marc Cerasini. It is obvious from what I have read so far that they did plenty of research to get all of the details of the firefighters and coffee-making business right. Even as a non-coffee-drinker, you might find yourself salivating over the descriptions of the perfect cups of espresso, lattes, and every other variation on coffee that you can think of.
- [Nero Wolfe in The Battered Badge](https://pdworkman.com/nero-wolfe-in-the-battered-badge/) - I have just finished The Battered Badge, a Nero Wolfe Mystery by Robert Goldsborough. This is the first of Goldsborough's series that I have read, but I am familiar with the original Nero Wolfe Mystery series by Rex Stout (although noting that it is 45 books long, I suspect I have not read all of them!
- [Come back to Booktown for: Not the Killing Type](https://pdworkman.com/come-back-to-booktown-for-not-the-killing-type/) - I have read several of Lorna Barrett's Booktown cozy mystery series in the past, so was happy to return to the fictional village full of bookstores (what kind of a dream town would that be?) with Not the Killing Type, book #7 in the series. So nice to get back to Tricia, her employees Mr. Everett and Pixie, and of course her cat, Miss Marple in the Haven't Got a Clue mystery bookstore.
- [Something New: I Owe You One](https://pdworkman.com/something-new-i-owe-you-one/) - I don't usually read romance, so this one is a bit of a divergence from my usual. I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella is a rom com with a unique plot-line, focused as much on Fixie's relationships with her brother and hilariously vague sister and managing the family store. Being a rom com there are, of course, two men in her life, one that's right for her and one that's not. The storyline is interesting and the characters not the run-of-the-mill.
- [Get your noir fix with Crashed](https://pdworkman.com/get-your-noir-fix-with-crashed/) - Junior Bender is a burglar, not a private investigator, so maybe I can't properly classify it as hard-boiled or noir. But the atmosphere and the colorful language and descriptions are as familiar as any Sam Spade. The characters are colourful, fun, and described well. This twisty little mystery is a great read so far, I will definitely read more of the series.
- [Follow this Cat Under Fire](https://pdworkman.com/follow-this-cat-under-fire/) - This week's read is Cat Under Fire, the second book in Shirley Rousseau Murphy's Joe Grey Mystery series. I've read a couple of other books in the series. They're a lot of fun. Murphy's cats do break a few physiological rules as well as being anthropomorphic speaking and thinking cats. They see in colour. They sweat. And, of course, they solve murders. Most of the humans are not too stupid, but they don't seem to have the same drive to track down the killers as Joe and Dulcie.
- [Grab your log book and Set Sail for Murder](https://pdworkman.com/grab-your-log-book-and-set-sail-for-murder/) - Set Sail for Murder is a classic murder mystery. We have the unhappy family full of suspects stuck on a cruise ship, tempers flaring, feelings hurt, and millions of dollars on the line. Sound familiar? The characters are interesting and the scenery compelling. There has not yet been a murder, but there have been three attempts. I assume one of the heirs will eventually succeed!
- [On the Slab Pie and other great deals!](https://pdworkman.com/on-the-slab-pie-and-other-great-deals/) - On the Slab Pie, Book #18 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery culinary cozy series is on sale for $0.99 this weekend only. And I've lined up a bunch of other great deals for you at the same time.
- [A Great Read - Darius the Great is Not Okay](https://pdworkman.com/a-great-read-darius-the-great-is-not-okay/) - I just finished reading Darius the Great is Not Okay, by Adib Khorram. A great showcase of Persian culture, family relationships, and depression, this YA book would definitely be on my recommended reads. The descriptions of the buildings and historic sites in Iran, Persian cuisine, and tea are rich and fascinating. As a teen living in a dual-culture home suffering from mental illness, the relationships are often fraught as Darius tries to find his way in the world.
- [Feast on A Banquet of Consequences](https://pdworkman.com/feast-on-a-banquet-of-consequences/) - A Banquet of Consequences is book #19 in Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley series. I have read a few other books in this series and they are always full of interesting characters with complex backstories, and a good murder you can really dig into. Though they are police procedurals, there is a lot of information given about the characters before the murder, similar to an Agatha Christie like Death on the Nile. You don't really hear a lot from the police detectives to start with. In a lot of police procedurals you only view the crime through the eyes of the investigator, but that is not the way the Inspector Lynley books are written.
- [Get Swept Away by Fallen](https://pdworkman.com/get-swept-away-by-fallen/) - Fallen, by Linda Castillo is book #13 in the Kate Burkholder series. I always enjoy these mysteries with a little taste of Amish country, with tidbits about their culture and phrases of Pennsylvania Dutch sprinkled throughout. Kate does a good job of tracking down the killers with her special combination of brains, compassion, and respect for the community that she chose not to be a part of, instead pursuing a career in law enforcement. Her significant other, John Tomasetti work well together. I enjoy a book where the woman and the man are on equal footing and don't have a lot of conflict or competitiveness over cases. (Though, of course, I also enjoy books where there is some conflict between the couple as well. Since all couples have conflict of some kind.)
- [Where is The Vanishing Man?](https://pdworkman.com/where-is-the-vanishing-man/) - hiring practices aside, Charles Lenox is an interesting protagonist, finding his way into a new profession and figuring out the ropes and new investigative techniques from various different circumstances, books, and people. In this case, he is searching for the Duke's stolen painting, which is the key to a much larger mystery. Lenox has to unravel the various half-truths and hints to figure out what is really going on, since the Duke doesn't actually seem interested in recovering the paining.
- [Suspended at Hairpin Bridge](https://pdworkman.com/suspended-at-hairpin-bridge/) - If you're looking for suspense, check out Hairpin Bridge by Taylor Adams. Protagonist Lena Nguyen is looking for answers in the death of her twin sister. She suspects police corporal Raycevic of being complicit in her death—even being the direct cause of it.
- [Books for my Birthday](https://pdworkman.com/books-for-my-birthday/) - It's that time of year again! My birthday, Canada Day, Independence Day, and Q-Tip's birthday! This is definitely the time to pick up some great deals for your To Be Read queue!
- [Intrigued by The Stranger in the Mirror](https://pdworkman.com/intrigued-by-the-stranger-in-the-mirror/) - The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine is not the only suspense book about amnesia that I have read lately. It's not that long since I was reading You Will Remember Me. Amnesia is not an uncommon trope in suspense fiction, even though forgetting your entire past is pretty rare in real life. Like serial killers, it happens a lot more in fiction than in real life. The Stranger in the Mirror does include some unique twists, and I still am not sure where it is going. Addison apparently has a pretty scary past, but we haven't been filled in yet on what happened and how she lost her memory. As we enter Addison's life, she is preparing to marry Gabriel, who she has known for six months (and yes, the author actually does cover how Addition came to have identification that allows her to work and to get married, two things that are impossible to do if you can't prove who you are.)
- [What it is like to be A Stranger at Home](https://pdworkman.com/what-it-is-like-to-be-a-stranger-at-home/) - June is National Indigenous History Month and June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, so my reading app gave me some suggestions of books by Indigenous authors. I picked up a short book, A Stranger at Home, by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret-Olemaun Pokiak-Fenton, about Margaret-Olemaun's experience returning home from residential school. This is the sequel to Fatty Legs, her experience at residential school, but I have not read that one yet. I'll probably pick it up later on this month.
- [Looking for A Good Girl's Guide to Murder?](https://pdworkman.com/a-good-girls-guide/) - I'm not sure of the title of this book, since it really doesn't describe what the book is about or the tone of the piece. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson features a young woman investigating the murder of another girl in her town five years earlier, becoming friends with the brother of the boy accused of murdering her and digging down deep to find the truth behind what really happened to Andie Bell.
- [A Fateful Plateful just $0.99 and other great deals](https://pdworkman.com/a-fateful-plateful-just-0-99-and-other-great-deals/) - A Fateful Plateful is on for just $0.99 for a limited time. Grab it while you can! A Fateful Plateful is #16 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series. See what Erin and Vic are up to. Vic's Pa is in dire condition, and there are questions to be answered. You can read A Fateful Plateful as a standalone mystery, or together with the series.
- [A new twist in You Will Remember Me](https://pdworkman.com/a-new-twist-in-you-will-remember-me/) - I am currently reading You Will Remember Me by Hannah Mary McKinnon. Who doesn't love an amnesia thriller and the excitement of unwrapping one layer after another of the patient's story to find out who they really are and how they came to be there. It goes without saying that there are secrets, things that maybe even the sufferer does not want to remember. McKinnon does a masterful job of setting things up from the moment "Brad" wakes up on the beach with no memory of how he got there—or who he is. I am looking forward to finding out just what happened to bring him to that point.
- [Let this book take you Hostage](https://pdworkman.com/let-this-book-take-you-hostage/) - This week I am reading Hostage, a novel by Clare Mackintosh. Lots of interesting characters with different backgrounds and secrets, a daughter on the ground in peril and hundreds of people up in the sky at the mercy of a hostage taker. The tension is building... it will be interesting to see how the main character manages to take control of the situation and—presumably—land the airplane!
- [New releases including A Fateful Plateful](https://pdworkman.com/new-releases-including-a-fateful-plateful/) - It's time to take you back to Bald Eagle Falls, as Erin and Vic and their friends are pulled into another mystery! A Fateful Plateful is book #16 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series. It can be read as a stand alone mystery or together with the rest of the series.
- [Glimpse a dark past in Friends Like These](https://pdworkman.com/glimpse-a-dark-past-in-friends-like-these/) - I have just recently begun Friends Like These by Kimberly McCreight. You've heard this story before... friends who share a horrible secret gather for a weekend reunion. Trapped by a storm, something happens, and one of them is dead. It is up to the police/detective to sort out all of the misleading clues and lies, probe and tease out the mass of secrets covering secrets to get to the heart of the matter.
- [Get your political thriller fix with State of Terror](https://pdworkman.com/get-your-political-thriller-fix-with-state-of-terror/) - I am currently reading State of Terror, by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny. As you can well imagine, this power team draws on Clinton's political knowledge and Penny's experience in writing crime fiction to put together a political thriller that is both detail-rich and keep the plot moving forward.
- [Get Cozy with Darned if You Do](https://pdworkman.com/get-cozy-with-darned-if-you-do/) - I have just finished reading Monica Ferris's Darned if You Do. I don't think I have read any other books in the Needlcraft Mystery series. This is #17, but there was enough context and backstory that I was comfortable with the characters and small town and didn't feel lost. This mystery had an interesting premise—a hoarder who was murdered before his sister could finish inventorying all of the junk and valuables he'd been forced to leave in his house when he was taken to the hospital after a tree came crashing through his roof. I was sorry to see the neurodivergent character killed. I think he would have made an interesting repeat character in future mysteries in the series.
- [Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead](https://pdworkman.com/drive-your-plow-over-the-bones-of-the-dead/) - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk was on the "mystery" shelf, but I am not sure I would classify it as such. It does involve a murder (in fact, a string of murders) which are solved at the end of the book, but it is very literary and does not at all follow the plot of a sleuth trying to solve the murders.
- [Indigenous Peoples in and Around Calgary](https://pdworkman.com/indigenous-peoples-in-and-around-calgary/) - First Nations: the Siksiká, Kainai, Piikani, Stoney-Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina. This Treaty granted the Government of Canada a 130,000 km2 tract of land and did not allow them to continue their traditional lifestyles. The Treaty resulted in significant hardships and suffering for those Nations, although they continue to show their strength and resilience today.
- [Don't want to miss it—Don't You Cry](https://pdworkman.com/dont-want-to-miss-it-dont-you-cry/) - Right now I am reading Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica. I have read other books by Kubica, so I knew it would be a good read. I think she only writes stand alones, which straddle the edge of suspense/domestic thriller. Lots of intriguing hints as the plot unfolds, good character development and narration.
- [Getting chills from The Steel Kiss](https://pdworkman.com/getting-chills-from-the-steel-kiss/) - I am currently reading The Steel Kiss, a Lincoln Rhyme book by Jeffery Deaver. I have read one or two books in this series before, and they are very satisfying police procedural mysteries. I was irritated with Rhyme at one point in this book for failing to see a legal point, but he eventually got there after a number of false turns.
- [Have you heard of Anteater of Death?](https://pdworkman.com/have-you-heard-of-anteater-of-death/) - This week's teaser comes from The Anteater of Death by Betty Webb. A very nicely-done cozy. I would definitely read more in the series. A cozy mystery with a zoo full of animals behaving like animals and humans behaving like savages. Plenty of suspects, lots of twists and turns, and pleasant diversions into zoo life, boats, and the protagonist's relationships with her family, coworkers, friends, and new love interest.
- [Flash sale on Auntie Clem's Bakery 4-6](https://pdworkman.com/flash-sale-on-auntie-clems-bakery-4-6/) - In anticipation of the release of Muffins Masks Murder this Friday, books 4-6 of the Auntie Clem's Bakery series are on sale for $0.99 today.
- [Read this yarn - Dead Men Don't Crochet](https://pdworkman.com/read-this-yarn-dead-men-dont-crochet/) - I am currently reading Betty Hechtman's Dead Men Don't Crochet, a well-woven cozy mystery with some unexpected twists and tangles... okay, I'll lay off the puns now! Dead Men Don't Crochet has all of the expected tropes — a protagonist who works at the library and takes part in a crocheting club, solving murders on the side. Her boyfriend is a cop, of course, and while he keeps telling her not to interfere with the investigation, I assume he will give her a hand the moment she is in trouble. Good characters and a nice tone so far. Curl up by the fire for this cozy read.
- [Flash sale on Breaking the Pattern](https://pdworkman.com/flash-sale-on-breaking-the-pattern/) - As you may know, I have recently released books 1-3 in the Breaking the Pattern series. For this weekend only, I am offering book #1, Henry, Breaking the Pattern, as a free download. To get your copy, download here:
- [Follow the Clues in Aunt Dimity and the Summer King](https://pdworkman.com/follow-the-clues-in-aunt-dimity-and-the-summer-king/) - I have read several books with rather dark themes lately, and even though I have enjoyed them, I decided I needed a lighter pick-me-up for my next read. Scrolling through my library app wasn't bringing me much joy—it must be the season for darker mysteries and thrillers—and then I spotted an Aunt Dimity book. I've read a few books in this series, so I grabbed it and started in. Well, a couple of chapters in now, and Aunt Dimity & the Summer King by Nancy Atherton is more than just a reintroduction to some familiar characters—I've read it before. But I remember it as being a fun, pleasant read, with interesting characters and a good premise. Not just fluffy, but something I could sink my teeth into. So I'm going to read it again!
- [Tracking a Killer in Blind Search](https://pdworkman.com/tracking-a-killer-in-blind-search/) - y current read is Blind Search, by Paula Munier, the second book in the Mercy Carr mystery series. It is set in Vermont and includes lots of description of local flora and fauna (though not in so much detail that you want to skip over it.) Mercy Carr, the main sleuth in the book, is ex-army and has an army-trained dog (Elvis) to help her out with her investigation. Her sidekick is a game warden and also has a dog (Susie-Bear) trained to track.
- [Get a great deal on Time to Your Elf and more!](https://pdworkman.com/get-a-great-deal-on-time-to-your-elf-and-more/) - If you haven't yet had a chance to pick up Time to Your Elf, the most recent release in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series, now is a great time! This weekend only, you can pick up Time to Your Elf for just $0.99.
- [What is Behind Her Eyes](https://pdworkman.com/what-is-behind-her-eyes/) - I have recently begun Behind Her Eyes, by Sarah Pinborough. This is a psychological suspense that has apparently come to Netflix, though I haven't watched it. Pinborough weaves a complex web between three characters, David, his wife Adele, and his secretary Louise. There is definitely something wrong in David and Adele's marriage, but Pinborough only hints at what is going on, and from the various reviews and descriptions of the plot, I can only get that what you think is going on is definitely not what's really going on behind the scenes here.
- [Making some time for Mrs. Jeffries in the Nick of Time](https://pdworkman.com/making-some-time-for-mrs-jeffries-in-the-nick-of-time/) - This week I am reading Mrs. Jeffries in the Nick of Time, by Emily Brightwell. I've read a couple other books in the Mrs. Jeffries series (this is book 25 of 40 in the series, so there is plenty for you to binge on! If you enjoy a good British cosy mystery set in Victorian London, then this is a series for you. Mrs. Jeffries is police inspector Witherspoon's housekeeper, and she and the household staff help to solve the murder cases he is working on and subtly feed him the solutions so that he thinks he solved it himself.
- [Devoured: Cobblered to Death](https://pdworkman.com/devoured-cobblered-to-death/) - One of the books I read this week was Cobblered to Death by Rosemarie Ross. It is a culinary cozy mystery, the first in the Courtney Archer series. Host of a television show about rural cooking, Courtney is helping to cohost a cooking competition, and wouldn't you know it—somebody dies. There are plenty of twists and turns as Courtney (and the local security guy and the sheriff) try to figure out which of the other contestants might have done the dirty deed.
- [A Complex Web in A Slow Fire Burning](https://pdworkman.com/a-complex-web-in-a-slow-fire-burning/) - Hawkins introduces you to a number of widely varying characters in the wake of a murder of a young man on a longboat. Then she slowly starts to weave the connections between each of these characters, their relationships and their pasts. Even when the murderer confesses, you don't yet know everything and are in for a few more plot twists before it all comes together.
- [All fired up over: From the Ashes](https://pdworkman.com/all-fired-up-over-from-the-ashes/) - Wow, this one is an amazing read. In From the Ashes, My Story of Being Indigenous, Homeless, and Finding My Way, Jesse Thistle tells about the road he travelled, homeless and in and out of prison for decades before managing to overcome his addiction, enter university, and discover his heritage while working on a BA in history. He is now a speaker on indigenous history, homelessness, and intergenerational trauma.
- [Chew on this: Thirty-Three Teeth](https://pdworkman.com/chew-on-this-thirty-three-teeth/) - Thirty-Three Teeth by Colin Cotterill is the second book that I have read in the Dr. Siri Paiboun Mystery series. (And though it is the second book in the series, the other one that I have read is actually #4, Anarchy and Old Dogs.) This mystery series is very different from any I have read before. It is steeped in the Lao setting and culture, with lots of fascinating plant names (like dog fart flowers and bull testicle trees), political red tape, and history.
- [A Treasure Chest Full of Deals](https://pdworkman.com/a-treasure-chest-full-of-deals/) - I don't usually put a book on sale quite as soon after its launch day as this, but it's your lucky day! Get Careful of Thy Wishes, book #13 in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series for just $0.99 this weekend only.
- [A chilly read: Cover of Snow](https://pdworkman.com/a-chilly-read-cover-of-snow/) - has an interesting premise. The main character's husband (a policeman) commits suicide, and she is digging down, trying to understand why. It turns out there are a number of secrets hidden in the past, and at this point (more than halfway through the book) there are many indicators of a police coverup and conspiracy to keep her from finding anything out.
- [Back to the school yard with Big Little Lies](https://pdworkman.com/back-to-the-school-yard-with-big-little-lies/) - I am currently reading Big Little Lies by Lianne Moriarty. What a fascinating book! While it is a murder mystery, you don't even know who has been killed or under what circumstances. You just know that one of the parents was killed during the (primary/elementary) school's Trivia Night. The book takes you through the various conflicts and secrets that have been festering in each of the women's and men's lives over the past several months, building up to what happened at the Trivia Night?
- [Finding out What She Knew](https://pdworkman.com/finding-out-what-she-knew/) - This week I am reading What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan. I don't think I've read anything else by this author, but I would definitely read another. It has been a good read so far. The "she" in the title refers to Rachel Jenner, a mom who is out walking in the woods with her son one day when he disappears, apparently kidnapped. It is a good police procedural/psychological suspense novel. Multiple perspectives, you get to see things from the mother's point of view and the lead investigator's, as they are both looking back on what happened.
- [Get Gentle Angel for $0.99 and other great deals!](https://pdworkman.com/get-gentle-angel-for-0-99-and-other-great-deals/) - Now is a great time to pick up Gentle Angel , book 4 in the Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thriller series for just $0.99. If you are a reader of the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series, you have already met Kenzie Kirsch. This series is a spinoff from Zachary Goldman Mysteries, giving Kenzie a front-and-center position in solving medical mysteries.
- [Reading about People Like Her](https://pdworkman.com/reading-about-people-like-her/) - I've picked up a few interesting books lately, but this one is the first one in a little while that is really remarkable. It will, hopefully, do very well and I will be looking for other books by this author.
- [In suspense with Mother May I](https://pdworkman.com/in-suspense-with-mother-may-i/) - Looking over what I have read recently, I have picked out Mother May I, by Joshilyn Jackson. This book will require you to suspend disbelief to a certain degree. I had a hard time believing that someone would behave the way that the protagonist mother did in this book, but if you can get past that, there are plenty of chills and thrills in this one.
- [Something could happen in the Blink of an Eye](https://pdworkman.com/something-could-happen-in-the-blink-of-an-eye/) - I recently read Blink of an Eye (Kendra Michaels Book 8) by Roy and Iris Johansen. I think this is the first Kendra Michaels book I have read, though I'm not 100% sure. There was enough back story to understand what was going on and the relationships that each character had with each other. Although there was some deeper stuff going on with Kendra and her flame that I was left wondering about and may have to go back a few books to figure out! Which is exactly how authors should pull you into their series!
- [Don't go overboard with Devil's Breath](https://pdworkman.com/dont-go-overboard-with-devils-breath/) - Another new-to-me author this week. I am reading Devil's Breath, the sixth book in G.M. Malliet's Max Tudor Mystery series. Not having read the previous books in the series, I am a little confused as to why the police would involve a former-MI5-operative-turned-vicar in the murder of a film star aboard a yacht. But whatever it takes to get the sleuth into the plot, I guess!
- [A quirky book - Holy Orders](https://pdworkman.com/a-quirky-book-holy-orders/) - I don't think that I have read anything by Benjamin Black before. Today I started on Holy Orders, book 6 in the Quirke series. A quirky (if I may say so) pathologist taking on the role of detective to find the culprit who murdered a friend of his daughter. The Quirke series has apparently been adapted for television, though I have never seen any of the episodes.
- [A deal on Dosed to Death and other books](https://pdworkman.com/a-deal-on-dosed-to-death-and-other-books/) - If you haven't yet purchased Dosed to Death, book #3 in the Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thrillers yet, this is your chance get it at a discounted price. For a limited time, you can get this latest Kenzie Kirsch book for just $0.99. It can be read as a stand alone medical mystery or as part of the series.
- [Reading Verses for the Dead](https://pdworkman.com/reading-verses-for-the-dead/) - Verses for the Dead is book #18 in the Pendergast series by Preston & Child. If you have read any of the rest of the series, you know that Agent Pendergast (FBI) prefers to work on his own, but in this case he is paired up with a junior agent to "assist" him (ie. spy on him and report any rogue behaviour to their boss.) A serial killer is on the loose, and Pendergast is the only one who seems to have any idea how to pursue the investigation.
- [Investigating A Most Curious Murder](https://pdworkman.com/investigating-a-most-curious-murder/) - This is a new cozy mystery series and author for me. Book #1 in the Little Library Mystery series, A Most Curious Murder features protagonist Jenny returning to her hometown after a nasty divorce. She is confronted by first, the destruction of her mother's little library, and then by something even worse...
- [Gamache Explores The Madness of Crowds](https://pdworkman.com/gamache-explores-the-madness-of-crowds/) - This week I picked up Louise Penny's newest Chief Inspector Gamache book, The Madness of Crowds. I posted about the previous book in this series, which is All the Devils Are Here. I have enjoyed all of the Inspector Gamache books that I have read, and this one is no difference.
- [Let's not forget this classic Agatha Christie](https://pdworkman.com/lets-not-forget-this-classic-agatha-christie/) - I have just finished reading Elephants Can Remember, a classic Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie. I don't recall having read this one before. It was an engaging story, with the facts/clues presented to the reader giving them lots of opportunity to put the puzzle together and figure out what happened. Christie sometimes holds back clues from the reader, especially in Poirot books, not telling us everything that the Belgian detective has discovered in his investigations, but I think everything relevant had been mentioned in this one. I had a pretty good idea what had happened, though there are enough red herrings to keep me guessing as to which are relevant.
- [Unlawful Harvest and other great DEALS!](https://pdworkman.com/unlawful-harvest-and-other-great-deals/) - Now is your chance to get Unlawful Harvest for free Stores are already advertising their Black Friday sales. Remember when Black Friday was a sale that only happened one day a year? Now it seems like Black Friday sales start popping up as soon as the jack-o-lanterns are carved. So maybe this is my pre-Thanksgiving, pre-Black Friday, pre-Cyber Monday sale. Whatever I call it, it's a good one, so scroll down and add up the savings.
- [Learn about The Facts of Life and Death](https://pdworkman.com/learn-about-the-facts-of-life-and-death/) - Devon setting and the people who inhabit it. Most psychological thrillers are written from the viewpoint of an adult, so this one definitely breaks the mold by employing the POV of ten-year-old Ruby Trick for most of the book.
- [Back to Paranormal - Grey Dawn](https://pdworkman.com/back-to-paranormal-grey-dawn/) - I am close to the end of Grey Dawn, and while I have a few ideas as to what is going on, I haven't yet figured it all out. I have had a pretty good idea of who was not the culprit since the early pages, and I did pick up on a few of the clues that are now being revealed. I'll have to see how it all ties together in the end!
- [Curl Up With The Cat Who Blew the Whistle](https://pdworkman.com/curl-up-with-the-cat-who-blew-the-whistle/) - It has been a long time since I read any of Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who..." series, so I am enjoying a return to the series with The Cat Who Blew the Whistle. I haven't read all of the books in this series, but I couldn't tell you which ones I have or haven't read. Enough that I know the main characters, and that coming back to the series is a bit like returning home.
- [Reader Kitties](https://pdworkman.com/reader-kitties/) - In response to my Adopt a Cat Month post, I got a number of responses from readers with stories and pictures of their kitties. So I thought I would put the pictures together in a little gallery! You can send me your furbaby at pdworkman.author@gmail.com to be included!
- [Fun in Beaches, Bungalows & Burglaries](https://pdworkman.com/fun-in-beaches-bungalows-burglaries/) - Many cozy mystery series begin with the sleuth inheriting a store or home, sometimes from a previously unknown relative, so that she is able to fulfill her dream of opening a book store, bakery, bed and breakfast, etc. In Beaches, Bungalows & Burglaries, the opposite happens. Protagonist Mae West's husband has defrauded people out of millions of dollars. He is in prison and the FBI have ceased all of his assets, so that all Mae is left with is a little RV park that she never knew he owned. And... spoiler alert... it is not in the kind of shape it was back in its heyday.
- [Get your Thrills with Stop at Nothing](https://pdworkman.com/get-your-thrills-with-stop-at-nothing/) - Stop at Nothing is the first book in Michael Ledwidge's Michael Gannon series, and it starts off with a splash. A Gulfstream jet ends up in the drink in the Bahamas, with only one witness (and one who cannot call for help, due to a recent fishing mishap involving his radio antennae.) Fisherman Michael Gannon checks out the wreck, and you might think that would be the end of it, especially when he decides to do a little property recovery from the luggage that was on the jet. But Gannon has a rather exciting past, and the retiree fisher is more than meets the eye.
- [Flash Sale on Auntie Clem's Bakery 7-9](https://pdworkman.com/flash-sale-on-auntie-clems-bakery-7-9/) - In anticipation of the release of Muffins Masks Murder this Friday, books 7-9 of the Auntie Clem's Bakery series are on sale for $0.99 today.
- [Dive into The Waters of Eternal Youth](https://pdworkman.com/dive-into-the-waters-of-eternal-youth/) - Today's book is The Waters of Eternal Youth by Donna Leon (which I thought was interesting, as Ponce de Leon was supposed to have found the Fountain of Eternal Youth— But this is book number 25 in the Commissario Brunetti series and appears to be the only book with any eternal youth references.) In this case, "eternal youth" does not refer to the body not aging, but to a character whose development was stymied by hypoxic brain damage after a near drowning in one of the canals.
- [Cuddle up with a Good Mystery for National Ice Cream Cone Day](https://pdworkman.com/cuddle-up-with-a-good-mystery-for-national-ice-cream-cone-day/) - Today is National Ice Cream Cone day. Mmmm! I decided that matched up nicely with my latest book release, Dark Water Under the Bridge, which includes mentions of a favourite ice cream parlour in our area, Mackay's:
- [Get swept away by All by Myself, Alone](https://pdworkman.com/get-swept-away-by-all-by-myself-alone/) - This week's teaser is from All By Myself, Alone by Mary Higgins Clark. I think the first book that I read by Mary Higgins Clark was The Cradle Will Fall, a scary medical thriller that kind of freaked me out as a twelve- or thirteen-year-old. I was hooked. All By Myself, Alone, is part of Mary Higgins Clark's Alvirah & Willy Series, a cozy mystery series far removed from the medical thriller genre. But it is still good. Full of interesting characters, several murders and attempted murders, and a priceless emerald necklace all aboard a cruise ship.
- [A thrilling read: Stalker on the Fens](https://pdworkman.com/a-thrilling-read-stalker-on-the-fens/) - In Stalker on the Fens, Nikki Galena is approached by a friend who she had previously saved from a horrific building collapse. The woman thinks that she is being stalked, but her family and friends are apt to put it down as PTSD rather than something that is really happening to her. Bad turns to worse, and before long Galena is trying to deal with a couple of bodies and some significant unrest between two criminal factions. There are plenty of suspects, but trying to narrow it down and rule them out is not easy.
- [An Italian Treat: Rounding the Mark](https://pdworkman.com/an-italian-treat-rounding-the-mark/) - With 28 books in the series, I feel like I should have run into Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano Mysteries before now! These are English translations of the original Italian, a series of Police Procedurals set in Sicily, full of sensory and culinary detail. Rounding the Mark is book #7 in the series. While Inspector Montalbano is threatening to resign, I would assume by the fact that there are 21 more books following this one, that he never quite gets around to retiring.
- [Follow Flavia's adventures in A Red Herring Without Mustard](https://pdworkman.com/follow-flavias-adventures-in-a-red-herring-without-mustard/) - Flavia is a rather morbid child (age eleven) with a fascination with chemistry, poisons, bodies, and murder. She is very handy in her chemistry lab and although she often gets in the way of the local constabulary, she is also usually ahead of them in solving murders that take place in the local village (and in this case, even on the de Luce family property.)
- [Zachary Goldman Cases 1-4 just $0.99](https://pdworkman.com/zachary-goldman-cases-1-4-just-0-99/) - For a limited time, you can get the ebook containing the first four books in the Zachary Goldman series are on sale for just $0.99.
- [Take your time with This Tender Land](https://pdworkman.com/take-your-time-with-this-tender-land/) - This Tender Land is not part of the Cork O'Connor series. It is an epic travel-across-the-country-during-the-depression story, with four orphans escaping a residential school and trying to get themselves somewhere safe. I see a few reviewers complaining that it is a children's story, but it certainly is not. It isn't a mystery like the Cork O'Connor series. Teens and other YA readers who enjoyed Hatchet, The Journey of Natty Gann, of Huck Finn might enjoy it, but it is not for the very young.
- [Puppies and poison in Dead in Dublin](https://pdworkman.com/puppies-and-poison-in-dead-in-dublin/) - Dead in Dublin is the first book in The Dublin Driver Mysteries, which surprised me when I looked it up today. There is lots of backstory summarized in Dead in Dublin, and I assumed that there were probably three or more books before it in the series. So this book may leave you a little hungry for more details of "what happened before," but it is a fine standalone mystery and I'm sure the author will reveal more about Megan Malone's origin story throughout the next two books in the series. I will definitely pick up the others as they become available through my library app.
- [Jump right into Body of Lies](https://pdworkman.com/jump-right-into-body-of-lies/) - This week I am just coming to the end of Iris Johansen's Body of Lies, the fourth book in the Eve Duncan series. I don't know whether I've read any of the other books in the series before, but it is easy to follow the characters and the action without having read the rest. There is plenty of backstory and explanation to allow you to follow the basic history of the characters.
- [Get Magic Ain't a Game and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/get-magic-aint-a-game-and-other-freebies/) - If you haven't yet picked up your copy of Magic Ain't a Game, book #11 in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series, now would be the perfect time. Get the ebook in a free download from your favourite online bookseller today. You can read Magic Ain't a Game as a stand alone paranormal mystery, or as part of the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series.
- [The Night Sister is a creepy read](https://pdworkman.com/the-night-sister-is-a-creepy-read/) - I picked up this week's read, The Night Sister, from the mystery shelf without realizing that it is classified as "ghost suspense," so I was a little surprised with the direction that it went in, but that didn't detract from the book. I still found it quite interesting and engaging. If you are the type who loves to share creepy ghost stories around the campfire, this might just be the book for you.
- [Experience The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse](https://pdworkman.com/experience-the-boy-the-mole-the-fox-and-the-horse/) - This week's book is not one of my usual genres, but is a little book that lives somewhere at the nexus of Winnie the Pooh, Narnia, and Buddha. Read it as a children's book, explore the purpose of life, meditate daily on your impact on others. It's one of those gems that is bound to live long on the shelf beside your bed or your favorite chair.
- [Investigate A Willing Murder](https://pdworkman.com/investigate-a-willing-murder/) - A Willing Murder is well-written, and I would not have guessed that it was written by a romance author. The characters and relationships are good, but there is nothing racy and no sex scenes. One kiss, I think. The foundation for the murder mystery is solid and the characters are able to get from one clue to another without anything too unbelievable and without breaking too many laws.
- [Listening to The Sound of Broken Glass](https://pdworkman.com/listening-to-the-sound-of-broken-glass/) - Last week, I was listening to the audiobook for The Sound of Broken Glass, book 15 in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Novels series by Deborah Crombie. I think that I may have read a book or two in this series before, but I'm not sure. There is definitely enough backstory included in the book that you are not last as to what the people's relationships and histories are. As with most mysteries or police procedurals, they are episodic and you can jump in and read one even if it isn't the first in the series.
- [Reading list: Young Adult Fiction about Depression](https://pdworkman.com/reading-list-young-adult-fiction-about-depression/) - I encountered a challenge in preparing this list, and that is that they are depressing! I attempted to pick books that were not so depressing that they would trigger the reader, but it was not an easy task. I have not read a lot of these books so I had to gauge how depressing each was by the cover and description, and to try to pick those with redeeming qualities.
- [Lose Yourself in The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B](https://pdworkman.com/lose-yourself-in-the-unlikely-hero-of-room-13b/) - I just finished reading The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B by Teresa Toten, an author I don't think I have read before. What a great book! Toten writes about Adam Spencer Ross, a teen battling OCD, and his family and group relationships as well as the girl in group that he falls in love with and vows to "save."
- [Reading The Princess Bride? Inconceivable!](https://pdworkman.com/reading-the-princess-bride-inconceivable/) - It has been a strange week for reading! I started with one book that I did not finish, went on to an audiobook that was produced like a radio play, and then a couple of other quickies, one a holiday (Christmas) special and the other: The Princess Bride. Usually I have one or two books to pick from, this time I had four. I listened to the audiobook of The Princess Bride, which is, unfortunately, abridged. I'll have to read the full text another time. But that's what I've got, so that's what we'll go with.
- [Happy Birthday to You Too!](https://pdworkman.com/happy-birthday-to-you-too/) - At this time of year, I always run a birthdays promo. In the next few days, it is my birthday, Canada's birthday, Independence Day, and this year, one more. July 4 is also the first birthday of this little fur face!
- [Meeting Old Friends in Midnight Sun](https://pdworkman.com/meeting-old-friends-in-midnight-sun/) - It's hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Stephenie Meyer's Twilight hit the scene. On the other hand, it has been almost that long since I last read it, and there is a lot that I only have vague impressions of. When I saw Midnight Sun, a retelling of Twilight from Edward's perspective at my library, I thought "why not?" I enjoyed Twilight (though not as much as The Host—I am far more interested in action/suspense than romance) and it's always nice to have something added to the canon.
- [A Word for The Silent Patient](https://pdworkman.com/a-word-for-the-silent-patient/) - I recently finished The Silent Patient, a psychological/domestic thriller by Alex Michaelides. I would definitely go on to read more by Michaelides.
- [Hot on the Trail Mix and more freebies](https://pdworkman.com/hot-on-the-trail-mix-and-more-freebies/) - My newest release, Hot on the Trail Mix is free this weekend. It is book #15 in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series. You can also pick up the first in series, Gluten-Free Murder, as a free download. This culinary cozy mystery series will keep you satisfied for a while!
- [A Sweet Mystery in Bitter Sweet](https://pdworkman.com/a-sweet-mystery-in-bitter-sweet/) - I think this is the first time I have read something from Connie Shelton's Samantha Sweet Mysteries. Bitter Sweet is book #5, but you will have no problem understanding who the players are or what is going on. It is a self-contained mystery like most of the cozy or traditional mysteries that you have read.
- [Father's Day Books](https://pdworkman.com/fathers-day-books-and-deals/) - There are a lot of things going on this month, but I decided this week to focus on Father's Day and bring you a few books to check out. If you're quick, there is still time to order on Amazon Prime or run over to your nearest brick and mortar book store! And there are always ebooks, which are an instant buy, if your dad enjoys ebooks or you want a little something for yourself.
- [Artemis Runs Afowl in The Atlantis Complex](https://pdworkman.com/artemis-runs-afowl-in-the-atlantis-complex/) - The Atlantis Complex is book 7 in the Artemis Fowl series. In this episode, Artemis is suffering from a fictional dissociative mental illness which makes it difficult for him to manage even his day-to-day activities. The spy/inventor/criminal mastermind who is usually ahead of the game in every instance is really suffering in this installment.
- [Chills and thrills in You Are Not Alone](https://pdworkman.com/chills-and-thrills-in-you-are-not-alone/) - I am currently reading You Are Not Alone, a psychological thriller by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Both have at least a couple of other books under their belts, and you can tell. You Are Not Alone is a slow-burn as Shay Miller finds herself pulled deeper and deeper into the plot of the Moore sisters. An innocent bystander, Shay has no idea what she is getting into or why the sisters are first befriending her and then... not. Definitely a page-turner.
- [It's Still Jack Reacher in The Sentinel](https://pdworkman.com/its-still-jack-reacher-in-the-sentinel/) - The Sentinel is the twenty-fifth book in the Jack Reacher series. I haven't noticed any issues with the transition from Lee Child writing alone to coauthoring with Andrew Child. It is still classic Jack Reacher. However, Reacher is becoming a dinosaur in his investigative methods. He has never carried a cell phone, doesn't drive a car, doesn't know how to operate a computer. He looks up phone numbers and addresses in the paper director, if there even is one. It looks like Rusty Rutherford, the IT consultant that Reacher is protecting from all of the bad guys in this story is going to give him a little help in bringing himself up-to-date on the technology side of things, so you can look forward to Jack Reacher with a smart phone as the series progresses. This could open up a whole new world for Reacher. Online searches and maps, calling an Uber, Amazon delivering to his door... the possibilities are endless.
- [Freebie weekend - Night of Nine Tails and more](https://pdworkman.com/freebie-weekend-nine/) - It's a freebie weekend! Looking for some more books to fill your Kindle? For a limited time, pick up Night of Nine Tails, book #4 in the Reg Rawlins Private Investigator series on Kindle for free.

- [Start Over with the Christmas Cupcake Murder](https://pdworkman.com/start-over-with-the-christmas-cupcake-murder/) - Start over? Yes, I am currently reading Joanna Fluke's Christmas Cupcake Murder, and while it is book 26 in her Hannah Swensen series, it is actually set before the rest of the series in the timeline. Sort of the origin story for Hannah and the Lake Eden community.
- [Get Hitched to Murder with Peacocks](https://pdworkman.com/get-hitched-to-murder-with-peacocks/) - I am enjoying my second book in a row from Donna Andrews. I just recently read Lark! The Herald Angels Sing, which is book #24 in this thirty book series, and have returned to book #1, Murder with Peacocks, to where it all started. All of the books in this series are named with bird names, as you might have guessed, and nearly every second book appears to have a Christmas theme.
- [Catch The Last Train to London](https://pdworkman.com/catch-the-last-train-to-london/) - I just finished The Last Train to London. It's a pretty heart-wrenching book, as you'll probably guess when you read the description below. It is a fictionalization of Truus Wijsmuller's (Tante Truus's) efforts to smuggle Jewish children out of Germany and Austria during WWII. It is a slow build, with no graphic violence and while it is tense, you are not usually on the edge of your seat. But I will tell you, the scenes of the parents saying goodbye to their children as they were put on the train, knowing that they would quite likely never see them again had me pretty choked up.
- [Immerse Yourself in Shed No Tears](https://pdworkman.com/immerse-yourself-in-shed-no-tears/) - I am currently reading Shed No Tears by Caz Frear, book 3 in the Kat Kinsella series. I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but had no problem getting into it or following the storyline. I am definitely curious about the other books in the series and will pick them up as I see them. Shed No Tears is a UK police procedural, an investigation into a cold case. The victim was previously assumed to be the victim of a serial killer who had been caught and convicted, but when the body surfaces some years later, there are enough doubts raised to question whether it was actually one of the serial killer's or not.
- [Read A Time for Mercy, a Grisham Courtroom Drama](https://pdworkman.com/read-a-time-for-mercy-a-grisham-courtroom-drama/) - I am in the midst of my latest read by John Grisham, A Time for Mercy, released in October 2020. It is the third in the Jake Brigance series. It is what Grisham does best, legal suspense and courtroom drama. The characters are well-developed, the legal challenges clear and concise, and a fifteen-year-old's life is on the line.
- [A Longmire Mystery, Death Without Company](https://pdworkman.com/a-longmire-mystery-death-without-company/) - I am most of the way through Death Without Company, which is book #2 in Craig Johnson's Longmire Mysteries series. I was not aware before I started it, but this series is the basis for a Netflix series called Longmire. I just checked, and it's available on the Canadian version of Netflix as well as the US.
- [Get your thrills with Hush](https://pdworkman.com/get-your-thrills-with-hush/) - I was afraid when I looked at my recent blog posts that I was featuring a James Patterson book two weeks in a row. Close, but not quite! I featured James Patterson's Lost two weeks ago, and this week, it is Hush, book number four in the Harriet Blue series. I haven't previously read any of the books in this series, I don't think, so you can definitely read it as a standalone and understand all of what is going on. Hush is set in Australia, with an Australian narrator for the audiobook. Harriet Blue is a tough female cop who doesn't just cross the line in her investigations, she bulldozes right through any policy or law that stands in her way.
- [Masie Dobbs investigates the MIA in Pardonable Lies](https://pdworkman.com/masie-dobbs-investigates-the-mia-in-pardonable-lies/) - I just finished Pardonable Lies by Jacqueline Winspear. I've read a number of books in the Maisie Dobbs series, and they are quite interesting. The audiobook I listened to had an interview with Winspear at the end of it and it was quite interesting to listen to her speak about the way that the Maisie Dobbs character and series came about.
- [James Patterson's Lost will keep you enthralled](https://pdworkman.com/james-pattersons-lost-will-keep-you-enthralled/) - This week I am reading Lost, by James Patterson and James O Born. It is a great thriller that revolves around international human trafficking and is set in Miami, Florida. Take the compassion of James Patterson's Michael Bennett, a New York cop with ten adopted children, mixed together with the failed football career of David Baldacci's Amos Decker, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Det. Tom Moon.
- [Visit death row with John Grisham in The Guardians](https://pdworkman.com/visit-death-row-with-john-grisham-in-the-guardians/) - I haven't been enamored with some of John Grisham's releases, but The Guardians, a legal suspense novel released in 2019 hits all of the right notes for me. It is not fast-paced, but definitely holds my interest as public defender-turned-priest-turned-innocence lawyer Cullen Post works a case to get a death-row inmates' conviction overturned. He is working on several cases at the same time, so you get to hear a number of stories about the type of people who may end up in prison or on death row even though they are innocent.
- [A Fugitive in Amish Country: Outsider](https://pdworkman.com/a-fugitive-in-amish-country-outsider/) - In today's book, The Outsider by Linda Castillo, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is snowbound in Amish country in Ohio, along with a fugitive who happens to be an old friend. While she would like to think that Gina is blameless in the situation she finds herself in, Kate knows that her friend is keeping things from her and that she cannot keep Gina's presence from the men who are looking for her for long. I always enjoy Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder series. They are warm and homey, with a sharp edge of suspense to keep you from getting too comfortable. Who knew that Amish suspense would be such a great mashup?
- [Don't get comfortable with The Whisper Man](https://pdworkman.com/dont-get-comfortable-with-the-whisper-man/) - This week I am reading The Whisper Man by Alex North, and it is a chilling read. If you like that unsettling feeling that you might have left your door unlocked and there is someone out there... this should be your next read. Good character development. The timeline is a little confusing to start out with, but it works out. Might not be the best bedtime reading...
- [Friendship Before Flowers](https://pdworkman.com/friends-before-flowers/) - In a world where the media surrounds us with images of insta-love or insta-lust (or insta-hate which somehow leads to romance), I am featuring books this Valentine's Day that have strong friendships (which may or may not lead to romance.) From Don't Forget Steven to Cynthia Has a Secret and the Medical Kidnap Files, many of
- [Get He Never Forgot and other Free Reads](https://pdworkman.com/get-he-never-forgot-and-other-free-reads/) - For a few days, you can get He Never Forgot, Book #9 in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series for free! He Never Forgot can be read as a standalone mystery. If you would like to read the first book in the series, She Wore Mourning is also available as a free download.
- [Get more of the holidays with The 19th Christmas](https://pdworkman.com/get-more-of-the-holidays-with-the-19th-christmas/) - On one hand, it seems like Christmas is just barely over, and on the other, it feels like it was ages ago. But luckily, I can read about Christmas all year long. This week I am reading James Patterson's The 19th Christmas, another from the Women's Murder Club series. Patterson is always a solid choice for me, and with 9,000 people giving it an overall rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 on Amazon, I guess there are a lot of others who are of the same opinion.
- [Dive into Iron Lake](https://pdworkman.com/dive-into-iron-lake/) - William Kent Krueger and Cork O'Connor are new to me, but have clearly been around for a while. I have just started in on Iron Lake, and so far it is developing very nicely, with deep characterization, just the right amount of description, and the beginning of an intriguing plot. I can't tell you much more than that right now, but I am eager to get farther into the story to see if my initial guesses about what has happened to the missing boy Paul LeBeau are correct.
- [Unwind the Conspiracy in All the Devils Are Here](https://pdworkman.com/unwind-the-conspiracy-in-all-the-devils-are-here/) - I had a hard time choosing which book to do a teaser from this week, but I have settled on All the Devils Are Here, the latest read in Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache series. If you were afraid after the last book (A Better Man) that we had heard the last of Jean-Guy Beauvoir, you can put your fears to rest. Jean-Guy is in France, and Armand Gamache and his wife are there with them, to visit their son and welcome the arrival of Jean-Guy's and Annie's first child.
- [Educate Yourself and Help Others with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them](https://pdworkman.com/educate-yourself-and-help-others-with-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them/) - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an encyclopedic book about various magical creatures in J.K. Rowling's magical world. This is not the screenplay/movie. It begins with some playful forwards/introductions, and then proceeds into the encyclopedia of magical beasts (and where to find them.) Fans will recognize not only the popular mythical creatures like dragons, fairies, and phoenixes, but also some of J.K. Rowling's creations like nifflers and bowtruckles.
- [She Told A Lie and Other Freebies](https://pdworkman.com/she-told-a-lie-and-other-freebies/) - We are through with Christmas and New Year's, and today happens to be my wedding anniversary. Seems like an appropriate day to give away more books! My most recent release, She Told A Lie, book #8 in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series, is on the top of the pile.
- [A Cold Case in The Night Fire](https://pdworkman.com/a-cold-case-in-the-night-fire/) - I have previously posted about the first two books in the Renee Ballard series by Michael Connelly (The Late Show and Dark Sacred Night). So, it should come as no surprise that I picked up the third when I saw it was available.
- [Read about life as a child soldier in A Long Way Gone](https://pdworkman.com/read-about-life-as-a-child-soldier-in-a-long-way-gone/) - I have recently finished reading A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah. It is a sad reality that around the world children are recruited to fight in wars or serve the soldiers who are fighting. Children as young as nine may be trained to kill.
- [Rick Riordan has Another Hit with Magnus Chase](https://pdworkman.com/rick-riordan-has-another-hit-with-magnus-chase/) - I have just started Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Book 1 the Sword of Summer. I am a little behind in getting in on the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan, seeing as there are already three books out in the series. But this is the first time it has shown up on my suggested reading list.
- [Virgil Flowers is back in Bloody Genius](https://pdworkman.com/virgil-flowers-is-back-in-bloody-genius/) - Today I am reading Bloody Genius by John Sandford, twelfth book in the Virgil Flowers series. Flowers is being brought in on a case involving the murder of a university professor. A good solid police procedural with lots of avenues of investigation to follow. I am about 3/4 of the way through, and they appear to be closing in on the killer, but I'm still not sure whether they have the right guy and that we've gotten to the bottom of the motive.
- [Follow the Twists in Eight Perfect Murders](https://pdworkman.com/follow-the-twists-in-eight-perfect-murders/) - Today I started on Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson. This is a different kind of murder mystery. You may see some of the twists and turns coming. But there are a lot of them (so far). Keep your mind open and pay attention, because the clues are there. Don't believe everything you read!
- [Cormoran Strikes Back in The Silkworm](https://pdworkman.com/cormoran-strikes-back-in-the-silkworm/) - This week I am into Robert Galbraith's The Silkworm, second book in the Cormoran Strike series. (Yes, that Robert Galbraith, one of the pen names of J.K. Rowling.) Private Investigator Cormoran Strike is looking for a missing writer, who was trying to get his tell-all book published. Lots of people are not happy to be included in the book, so you can bet there will be a lot of suspects in his disappearance and (spoiler) death. Sorry, I haven't gotten to that part yet, the Amazon blurb gives it away.
- [Pain, Medical Kidnap Files #5 and Other Freebies](https://pdworkman.com/pain-medical-kidnap-files-5-and-other-freebies/) - Ready for another freebie roundup? This weekend only, you can get Pain, book #5 of the Medical Kidnap files for free at ebook retailers. When your child is in pain, everything else takes a backseat. Fae Glover has put everything else on hold while she tries to help her daughter to get a diagnosis and effective treatment. Unfortunately, DFS has other ideas and in short order has apprehended Hannah. And they have no intention of ever giving her back.
- [Stay up tonight and read The Late Show](https://pdworkman.com/stay-up-tonight-and-read-the-late-show/) - I am reading The Late Show by Michael Connelly, the second book in the Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch series. I have actually read book number two, Dark Sacred Night before this. It is a good series. I think that the main character, Renée Ballard is a little more non-conforming in this book than she is in book 2. She breaks quite a few police procedure rules, in fact. If that's the kind of thing that drives you crazy as a reader, you might want to give this one a pass!
- [Humour in a police procedural? Read A Bad Day for Sunshine](https://pdworkman.com/humour-in-a-police-procedural-read-a-bad-day-for-sunshine/) - It isn't often that you come across a police procedural infused with humour. Not just occasional, subtle humour, but full of laugh-out-loud tongue in cheek humour. I have really been enjoying Darynda Jone's A Bad Day for Sunshine. Sunshine is the name of the police chief in this small town police procedural featuring the kidnapping of a teenager who is friends with her own daughter.
- [Reading List: Books with Racially Diverse Main Characters](https://pdworkman.com/reading-list-books-with-racially-diverse-main-characters/) - There are an increasing number of books out there featuring BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Colour) main characters. The "default" is still white main characters, but the call for more diverse characters is louder and more insistent, and authors are stepping up to fill the gap. BIPOC authors writing characters from their own cultures (#ownvoices) are particularly sought after.
- [John Fiske is looking for The Simple Truth](https://pdworkman.com/john-fiske-is-looking-for-the-simple-truth/) - I have just started in on David Baldacci's The Simple Truth. I always pick up Baldacci and have rarely been disappointed. This is a book along the lines of a Grisham legal thriller or Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series.
- [Real-life intrigue in Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill](https://pdworkman.com/real-life-intrigue-in-ronan-farrows-catch-and-kill/) - I recently read Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators, an account of his investigation into and exposure of Harvey Weinstein's long history of sexual abuse in Hollywood, of the cover-ups that took place over decades by not only Hollywood, but by police departments, prosecutors, and the media.
- [The Searcher: Tana French is Master of the Slow Burn](https://pdworkman.com/the-searcher-tana-french-is-master-of-the-slow-burn/) - The Searcher is slow burn suspense. If you are looking for a high-octane thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end, this is not the book for you. Instead, it is a walk out on the Irish heath on a sunny day, watching the sheep graze, as the clouds gradually roll in, getting darker and darker, with the forest closing in around you.
- [Don't forget this one — Mr. Nobody](https://pdworkman.com/dont-forget-this-one-mr-nobody/) - This week's teaser is Mr. Nobody by Catherine Steadman. I've read a couple of this author's books the last few weeks, and they are very engaging. Great medical or psychological thrillers.
- [A Whisker's Breadth and other New Releases!](https://pdworkman.com/a-whiskers-breadth-and-other-new-releases/) - Reg acquires a client with terrible luck. Reg needs all of the psychic powers that she and Starlight possess to see Vivian King’s future and what catastrophic accidents stand in her way.
- [Fair Warning — It Could Happen](https://pdworkman.com/fair-warning-it-could-happen/) - Fair Warning is book 3 of Michael Connelly's Jack McEvoy series. I don't think that I've read either of the previous two books, but there was enough backstory to understand the broad strokes of what had happened earlier in the series.
- [My new discovery - A Discovery of Witches](https://pdworkman.com/my-new-discovery-a-discovery-of-witches/) - I am well into Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches, the first book in the All Souls Trilogy. I don't think I've read anything else by this author, but I am certainly enjoying it.
- [Free reads - Web of Nightmares and more](https://pdworkman.com/free-reads-web-of-nightmares-and-more/) - My newest release, Web of Nightmares, is currently a free download! Not only that, but I've rounded up some other freebies for you too.
- [Mickey Haller Crosses the Aisle](https://pdworkman.com/mickey-haller-crosses-the-aisle/) - I just finished reading The Reversal, book #3 in the Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly. It's always great to slip back into a familiar series and see old friends like Mickey Haller and Detective Bosch. Mickey Haller, normally counsel for the defense, crosses the aisle in this case to act as an independent prosecutor against a child killer who was freed after twenty-four years due to DNA evidence.
- [Get into the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series for free](https://pdworkman.com/get-into-the-zachary-goldman-mysteries-series-for-free/) - She Wore Mourning, case #1 in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series is currently available for free. This promo will only be running for a limited time, so pick it up now.
- [Whisper Network speaks loud and clear](https://pdworkman.com/whisper-network-speaks-loud-and-clear/) - I just finished reading Whisper Network by Chandler Baker. It is a Grisham-like legal suspense book about women in society, the workforce, and law in particular. If you are the type who does not like a book with an agenda, this one is not for you, because it is very clearly intended to address sexual abuse in the workplace and the means used to keep victim's complaints from ever seeing the light of day.
- [John Puller is back, and this time, it's personal](https://pdworkman.com/john-puller-is-back-and-this-time-its-personal/) - David Baldacci is one of my favourite suspense/thriller writers. I picked up The Forgotten, thinking that I hadn't read it before, but I have. But Baldacci's books are detailed enough to read again without getting bored, so I decided to reread it.
- [Sale on Night of Nine Tails](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-night-of-nine-tales/) - Flash sale on Night of Nine Tales! The fourth book in the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series is free for a limited time. Pick it up now, this sale won't last.
- [Fairy Blade Unmade and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/fairy-blade-unmade-and-other-freebies/) - Don’t take a pixie on a road trip. Reg Rawlins is taking things one day at a time, which is the best way to approach life when your perception of reality has been shattered beyond recognition. Running her business, learning how to manage her new gifts, and trying to train a rambunctious kitten are about all she can manage.
- [James Patterson's The 17th Suspect—The Women's Murder Club does not disappoint](https://pdworkman.com/james-pattersons-the-17th-suspect-the-womens-murder-club-does-not-disappoint/) - I am currently reading James Patterson's The 17th Suspect (book #17 in The Women's Murder Club series). I have enjoyed a number of the other books in this series, though I couldn't tell you exactly how many. They are always a good read. Clever, familiar characters with heart, a mystery or trial, several unexpected twists and turns.
- [Excerpt from The Guest List](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-guest-list/) - I am currently reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley. First off, it is praised repeatedly as being reminiscent of Agatha Christie. It is like Agatha Christie insofar as it is a murder mystery with a closed cast of suspects. The characters all have shameful secrets and, I assume later in the book, will turn out to have more connections than the reader is initially told.
- [Interview with Uvi Poznansky](https://pdworkman.com/interview-with-uvi-posnansky/) - I had a great interview recently with fellow author Uvi Poznansky. Hop on over for a look!
- [Excerpt from Hatchett](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-hatchett/) - I am reading the Newbery Award-winning Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I've always liked survival stories, especially when they involve kids/teens. The book is set in Canada, which is an added bonus, and I didn't realize that it is the first in a series (The Brian Saga). Despite the fact that this is an award-winner, I have found the writing to be weak in a few places. The plot and the survival techniques are solid. Pacing is reasonably good. Lots of exciting disasters. All of the basic stuff you look for in a survival novel are here.
- [What the Cat Knew sale just $0.99](https://pdworkman.com/what-the-cat-knew-sale-just-0-99/) - As I get ready to publish books 7, 8 and 9 of the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Investigator series, I have dropped the price for book 1 of the series to just $0.99. If you haven't yet been introduced to Reg Rawlins, this is a great place to start!
- [Santa Shortbread and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/santa-shortbread-and-other-freebies/) - It's your favorite day! No, not Christmas, we already did Christmas in July. This time, it is a freebie roundup. Santa Shortbread is free in the Kindle store, along with a number of other books you might be interested in.
- [$0.99 Sale They Thought He Was Safe](https://pdworkman.com/0-99-sale-they-thought-he-was-safe/) - Case #5 in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries is now on sale for just $0.99. Get it while you can!
- [Excerpt from The Glass Castle](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-glass-castle/) - I hadn't heard of Jeannette Walls or The Glass Castle before, but I'm glad I picked it up. It is a memoir of the author's childhood of poverty and neglect and she has some very interesting stories to tell. Her parents preferred to live an itinerant lifestyle, so she lived a lot of different places and did a lot of different things.
- [Excerpt from The Bitterroots](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-bitterroots/) - I've read a number of C.J. Box's books, including the Cody Hoyt and Cassie Dewell series. The Bitterroots is a Cassie Dewell book. She is now a private investigator, and she's investigating what appears to be an open and shut rape case. But of course, things are never quite what they seem.
- [Flash deal on Tattooed Teardrops](https://pdworkman.com/flash-deal-on-tattooed-teardrops/) - Tattooed Teardrops is being offered free for just a few days. Don't miss this opportunity. Grab this award-winner today!
- [Excerpt from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes/) - Ballad goes back to when President Snow was a boy, assigned to be a mentor to one of the tributes. While he was born into a high-ranking family, they were devastated by the war, and while Panem is being rebuilt, it is still a struggle for them to get enough to eat from day to day. He tries to keep their dire circumstances as secret and his ability to get into university on a scholarship prize hinges on his performance as a mentor.
- [Sale on She Wore Mourning](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-she-wore-mourning/) - She Wore Mourning, first book in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series is on sale now for just $0.99. Now is your chance to get started on the Zachary Goldman series!
- [Excerpt from The Chain](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-chain/) - I am almost finished reading The Chain by Adrian McKinty. A fascinating read, lots of suspense and thrills! It is not just a kidnap thriller, there is so much more to it.
- [Tai Chi and Chai Tea and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/tai-chi-and-chai-tea-and-other-freebies/) - It is Thanksgiving in Bald Eagle Falls and the smells of spicy new offerings waft from Auntie Clem’s Bakery.
- [Excerpt from The Chemist](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-chemist/) - This isn't my first time reading The Chemist, by Stephanie Meyer, but I don't remember a lot of it from the first time, and I am enjoying it quite a bit. I didn't remember there were so many great tongue-in-cheek comments and dry humour. Alex is a great character and there is a lot of... chemistry... between her and Kevin.
- [Smashwords Summer Sale is on](https://pdworkman.com/smashwords-summer-sale-is-on/) - Most of my books are available on Smashwords. For the duration of the Smashwords summer sale, all of my first-in-series books are free, and the rest are on for 50% off. So if you want to stock up, now is a great time!
- [Excerpt from The Hate U Give](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-hate-u-give/) - I knew this book was popular as a window into the world of young POC, but I skimmed past it a number of times without picking it up. Why? Honestly, it was the cover. It looks to me like high school chick lit. Relationships, putting on a public face, figuring out who you are.
- [Excerpt from The Girl with All the Gifts](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-girl-with-all-the-gifts-teasertuesday/) - Melanie hopes she’ll go to Beacon some day. When the mission is complete, and when (Dr Caldwell said this once) everything gets folded up and put away. Melanie tries to imagine that day; the steel walls closing up like the pages of a book, and then… something else.
- [Distracted by books](https://pdworkman.com/distracted-by-books-amreading-books/) - If you are looking for more books for your TBR pile, here are books that grabbed my attention this week.
- [Nomination and promotions](https://pdworkman.com/nomination-and-promotions/) - I am happy to be able to report to you that June & Justin has been nominated for the 2016 In the Margins Best Books for Teens award.
- [Tattooed Teardrops just $0.99](https://pdworkman.com/tattooed-teardrops-just-0-99/) - This deal will only be up for a few days. Get the winner of the 2016 Top Fiction award selection by the In the Margins Committee, the first book in the Tamara's Teardrops series.
- [Cat Lady Confidential](https://pdworkman.com/cat-lady-confidential/) - Cat Lady Confidential published a post sharing the profiles of seven different authors who have a cat (or multiple cats!) I enjoyed participating in this post and in "meeting" the other authors who shared stories of their lives with cats!
- [Excerpt from Unsolved](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-unsolved/) - I am reading a new (to me) James Patterson, Unsolved. The great thing about James Patterson is there is always a new one out! Unsolved is the second in the Invisible series. Emmy Dockery is looking for a serial killer, but no one will even believe that the victims have been murdered. They think that she's gone off the rails.
- [Podcast interview with Alexandra Amor](https://pdworkman.com/podcast-interview-with-alexandra-amor/) - I had a great interview with Alexandra Amor recently. Play it below or jump to her blog post for more details and a sample of Gluten-Free Murder.
- [Virtually Harmless audiobook available](https://pdworkman.com/virtually-harmless-audiobook-available/) - I'm very excited to have my new audiobook out. It's been a long time since I had audio produced, but I have jumped back in with Virtually Harmless. Melissa Kay Benson was a dream to work with, and I really love her production of Virtually Harmless. Her voices are so close to the voices in my head, and she nails all of the sarcasm and humour, making me laugh at my own jokes.
- [Excerpt from After Anna](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-before-anna/) - I have just started After Anna by Lisa Scottoline. Scottoline writes some amazing plots. In this book, there are two point of views, Maggie's, which is running forward in time from when she meets Anna and Noah's, which is running backward in time from the point at which his verdict will be read. At some point they will intersect, and I will have the full story. Or almost. Maybe. Being able to tell two stories from two different viewpoints and reveal the plot points in just the right order is an amazing talent.
- [Muffins Masks Murder and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/muffins-masks-murder-and-other-freebies/) - June has arrived and it's time for another round-up of freebies! Muffins Masks Murder is free on Kindle this weekend, if you would like to curl up with a good cozy mystery! And, of course, I have brought you another swack of freebies for your reading pleasure.
- [Excerpt from Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-insignificant-events-in-the-life-of-a-cactus/) - I don't often say this, but I loved this book! I had scrolled past Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling more than once, but I'm glad I stopped and looked at it this time. This is a middle school/young adult novel about Aven, a girl born with no arms. Having moved to Arizona halfway through the school year, she has to make new friends. A big challenge after spending her whole life in Kansas, where she grew up with the same kids since kindergarten.
- [Sale on Auntie Clem's Bakery 1-3](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-auntie-clems-bakery-1-3-2/) - Erin Price is a baker, not a sleuth. It’s really not her fault that mysteries keep landing in her lap while she’s trying to run Auntie Clem’s Bakery and make a living from baking gluten-free and specialty goods.Sink your teeth into these sweet mysteries!
- [Excerpt from 30 Red Dresses](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-30-red-dresses/) - I just finished reading the short book 30 Red Dresses by Johan Twiss. This is a book that was featured in my post on books about human trafficking in January, and it caught my eye. If you've been reading my work for a while, especially my young adult fiction, you know that human trafficking, street kids, and abuse are topics close to my heart.
- [Excerpt from The Burning Maze](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-burning-maze/) - I am reading The Burning Maze, book #3 of the Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan. It's been a few years since I read the Percy Jackson series with my son. I'm not sure which is the last book we read, but I am recognizing a number of the characters and incidents from the original series as I read this one. Rick Riordan is a great storyteller with lots of magic, excitement, and sympathetic characters. I always enjoy his books.
- [Sharing Kindle Quotes](https://pdworkman.com/sharing-kindle-quotes/) - I have recently begun to share Kindle Quotes through social media. They're quick and easy, a great way to share what you are reading. They get quite a bit more engagement than I expected them to. How do you share them? Here's how to do it on the iPhone
- [Excerpt from An Anonymous Girl](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-an-anonymous-girl/) - The other book I am reading right now is Greer Hendricks's and Sarah Pekkanen's An Anonymous Girl. A psychological thriller, Jessica Ferris signs up to participate in a study on ethics and morality, which grows more and more involved and bizarre. Jess is encouraged to share all of her secrets, and she doesn't want to answer all of Dr. Shields' questions, but she needs the money for participating in the study.
- [Get started on the Zachary Goldman series](https://pdworkman.com/get-started-on-the-zachary-goldman-series/) - If you haven't started the Zachary Goldman series, or have only read one or two, now is a great time to start! The first four books are currently on sale for $0.99 for a limited time.
- [Excerpt from Carve the Mark](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-carve-the-mark/) - It's been a long time since I read anything by Veronica Roth (author of the Divergent series). Carve the Mark is an engaging sci fi set in a galaxy with magical gifts, various kinds of planets, warring nations, and families fated to conflict with each other. Nice deep characterization, vibrant worlds, and plenty of conflict will keep you turning the pages.
- [Excerpt from Someone We Know](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-someone-we-know/) - I have just finished Someone We Know by Shari Lapena. Lapena does a great job with domestic thrillers. I have previously read A Stranger in the House. Someone We Know explores the idea of what happens when someone close to you is murdered and you realize that the murderer is (most likely) also someone you know. There are plenty of secrets in this neighborhood. A great set-up for a suspenseful story.
- [Flash Sale on Auntie Clem's Bakery 1-3](https://pdworkman.com/flash-sale-on-auntie-clems-bakery-1-3/) - In anticipation of the release of Muffins Masks Murder this Friday, the first three books of the Auntie Clem's Bakery series are on sale for $0.99 today and tomorrow only (watch here for sales on the other books in the series.)
- [Excerpt from Killing Floor](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-killing-floor/) - Killing Floor is Lee Child's first Jack Reacher novel. I'm sure that I have read it before. A couple of points have "rung a bell," but otherwise it has been like reading it for the first time.
- [Freebie Weekend! Virtually Harmless and More](https://pdworkman.com/freebie-weekend-virtually-harmless-and-more/) - This weekend you can grab Virtually Harmless, book #3 in the High-Tech Crime Solvers multi-author series for... free! Yes, delve into this high-tech thriller for only the time it takes to click a couple of buttons. And as you have become accustomed, you can click on button to pick up not just Virtually Harmless, but all of the other Kindle books in this blog as well.
- [Sale on Questing for a Dream](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-questing-for-a-dream/) - Have you read Questing for a Dream, which InD'tale Magazine says is: "Easily one of the most thought-provoking and compelling reads of the year, Ms. Workman has written a masterful contemporary account of one native teen’s journey from home and the possibilities for hope even for those drowning in poverty, prejudice, and addiction … A must-read tale for any book lover!"
- [Excerpt from Good Omens](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-good-omens/) - I am currently reading Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens. If you've read any Neil Gaiman, you probably know that it is going to be crazy, illogical, colourful, tongue-in-cheek and all rather brilliant. It looks like it was serialized last year on Amazon Prime, though I haven't seen it. I am enjoying it so far. If you like things like Douglass Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide) and Monty Python, you'll like Neil Gaiman.
- [Sale on Ruby, Between the Cracks](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-ruby-between-the-cracks/) - Are you ready to start the Simpson family saga, Between the Cracks? It all starts with Ruby. Picked by the In the Margins Committee as one of the Top Ten Books for Teens in 2015, I have dropped the ebook price from $5.99 to $3.99 for a limited time. Get your start now on this epic read!
- [Excerpt from I'll Be Gone in the Dark](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-ill-be-gone-in-the-dark/) - I am partway into a true crime book about the Golden State Killer, I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara. Despite the author's obsession with unmasking the Golden State Killer, all of the hours and years she put into it, she passed away before the book was completed and published. Her husband and editor (?) put it together and wrote what they could from her notes. Michelle McNamara did not live to see the Golden State Killer caught using DNA evidence. It looks like there is an afterword in the book to cover that.
- [New Releases! Virtually Harmless and More](https://pdworkman.com/new-releases-virtually-harmless-and-more/) - It's that day again! Time for a stack of new releases! Have you started reading the High-Tech Crime Solvers series yet? From USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman, comes a gripping techno-thriller.
- [Sale on Auntie Clem's Bakery 1-3](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-auntie-clems-bakery-1-3/) - This is a limited time sale, won't last long! Get the first three books in the Auntie Clem's Bakery series for the $5.99.
- [Excerpt from The Flight Attendant](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-flight-attendant/) - Today I just started reading The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian. I'm not sure what I think of it so far, but it looks like it could be a good read. The protagonist is clearly broken and ha a lot of issues that don't make her too relatable, at least to start with. I imagine I'll get to empathize and relate with her more as I get deeper into the book. The premise has lots of potential.
- [Excerpt from A Better Man](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-a-better-man/) - I just finished reading A Better Man, book #15 in Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series. Inspector Gamache has been demoted back to head of homicide, which is really where he belongs. The murder of Vivienne Godin is a real brain-teaser. While I suspected the murderer ahead of time, I didn't have enough to quite be sure. Louise Penny is always a good read!
- [Sale on What the Cat Knew $0.99](https://pdworkman.com/sale-on-what-the-cat-knew-0-99/) - If you don't already have it, you can currently get What the Cat Knew on all platforms for $0.99. Get it now, because this deal won't last!
- [Delusions of the Past and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/delusions-of-the-past-and-other-freebies/) - Looking for some new books to add to your Kindle? Delusions of the Past, book #6 of the Reg Rawlins Psychic Investigator series is free this weekend only. And I have gathered together a few other freebies you might be interested in as well. Scroll past Delusions of the Past to find the rest.
- [Project Planning, Scheduling, and Bullet Journal](https://pdworkman.com/project-planning-scheduling-and-bullet-journal/) - I've read several articles or posts recently talking about how Bullet Journals are ineffective and take too much time and do not result in productivity. The complaint that a lot of people have is that a Bullet Journal requires you to make fancy layouts that need to be constantly redrawn, which takes a lot of time and is more artsy than productive.
- [Excerpt from The Alice Network](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-alice-network/) - I am currently reading The Alice Network, by Kate Quinn. I don't read a lot of historical novels, but I am enjoying the twists and turns and the great historical and geographical details that are woven into the story. It is an engaging suspense book, and I am looking forward to finding out more about the espionage network and what has happened to Charlie's cousin.
- [Excerpt from Dark Sacred Night](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-dark-sacred-night/) - I am currently reading Dark Sacred Night by Michael Connelly. It is officially part of the Renee Ballard series, but also features Harry Bosch as well. While there are a number of negative reviews on Amazon, I have enjoyed it so far. Michael Connelly is a master writer, he knows how to build characters the reader cares about and he knows his police procedure.
- [Excerpt from Invisible Women](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-invisible-women/) - I've just started reading Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, by Caroline Criado Perez. As you might guess by the title, this one is not a thriller! But I am finding it very interesting. Not as a "feminist" book, but as a book about data, the way the world has been engineered, how what data we gather affects the results, and how to become more aware of these built-in biases. It is a fascinating subject.
- [The Telepathy of Gardens and other freebies](https://pdworkman.com/the-telepathy-of-gardens-and-other-freebies/) - It is that time again! Time for another freebie roundup. The Telepathy of Gardens, book #5 in the Reg Rawlins Psychic Investigator series is free this weekend, and I have stacked up a few more books you might like as well.
- [Excerpt from The Reckoning](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-reckoning/) - I have been reading The Reckoning, by John Grisham. I generally like Grisham—at least his legal thrillers—but this one has some issues. The first part discusses the murder and outcome. The second part delves back into the past and spends half of the book detailing all of Pete Banning's experiences in the second world war, where he served in the Philippines. All of the relevant backstory was given in part one and the second part really doesn't contribute anything to the plot or the reader's understanding of the crime.
- [Excerpt from The Cuckoo's Calling](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-cuckoos-calling/) - I am just finishing up with The Cuckoo's Calling, first book in the Cormoran Strike series. I didn't realize until I just looked over the series page now that the author is Robert Galbraith—I recognized the name but didn't remember that's J.K. Rowling's pen name. I have also read book four in this series, but don't remember very much about it.
- [Excerpt from Kingdom of the Blind](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-kingdom-of-the-blind/) - I am currently reading Kingdom of the Blind, by Louise Penny, the new Chief Inspector Gamache book. The Gamache series is set in Quebec, Canada, and is a great mystery series with lots of description, ongoing relationships, and twists and turns as the mystery is developed.
- [Excerpt from The Family Upstairs](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-family-upstairs/) - This week I am reading The Family Upstairs, a domestic thriller by Lisa Jewell. There are plenty of twists and turns and misdirection. Several people return to the house they lived in as children, before their escape following the deaths of the adults in the home. All but one know what happened. One needs to find out.
- [Excerpt from A Wrinkle in Time](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-a-wrinkle-in-time/) - I just finished re-reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle. Chances are, you've either read this book or seen the movie, or both. It has been popular since it was published in 1962, although it has also been one of the most commonly banned books.
- [The year ahead](https://pdworkman.com/the-year-ahead/) - With the advent of a new year, you maybe wondering what you can expect to see from my pen this year. Or maybe you're not, but I thought it was a good topic for the beginning of the year. Since my cozy mysteries have been doing well, that is much of my focus for this year.
- [Excerpt from 61 Hours](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-61-hours/) - I am re-reading 61 Hours by Lee Child, book 14 in the Jack Reacher series. Like the other Jack Reacher books, it is a well-written suspense book with lots of twists and turns to keep you on your toes. Jack Reacher always stumbles into the strangest circumstances, and 61 Hours is no exception. He also doesn't appreciate the cold of South Dakota winters, and after the weather in Calgary the past week, I can sympathize. It's also one of the few books I've ever read that mentions Chinooks.
- [Excerpt from Long Road to Mercy](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-long-road-to-mercy/) - I am currently reading The Long Road to Mercy by David Baldacci. Baldacci always writes great police procedurals and thrillers, and so far, The Long Road to Mercy does not disappoint. Atlee Pine, an identical twin who lost her sister in an abduction as a small girl, grows up to become a body builder and FBI agent and in this first book in the series, is investigating the disappearance of a tourist from the Grand Canyon. Of course, he was not actually a tourist, and pursuing the investigation after she's been told to back off could mean the end of her career.
- [Three books just $0.99](https://pdworkman.com/three-books-just-0-99/) - For a limited time, you can pick up the first three Reg Rawlins books for just $0.99! A self-professed con artist practicing as a contact to the dead, a drop-dead gorgeous warlock, and a psychic cat—what could go wrong?
- [Spooks and other paranormal activity](https://pdworkman.com/spooks-and-other-paranormal-activity/) - Well, it's that time of year. When our minds turn to the scary, spooky, and other-worldly. And the little ghouls knocking on our doors. So I've grabbed a few spooky or Halloween-themed stories for your reading pleasure.
- [Giving thanks](https://pdworkman.com/giving-thanks/) - This Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving. I read a few internet articles talking about the differences between Canadian and American Thanksgiving, besides the obvious difference in dates, of course. There are more similarities than differences between our observances. According to the Wikipedia article, "The theme of the Thanksgiving holiday also changed each year to reflect an important event to be thankful for," but that has not been the case for almost one hundred years.
- [Excerpt from Then She Was Gone](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-then-she-was-gone/) - I just finished reading domestic thriller Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell. It is a slow build, not an edge-of-your-seat rollercoaster ride. The character development is good and the players relatable. You have a pretty good idea of the twists it will take before they come, but that doesn't reduce the enjoyment in watching it unfold. An enjoyable read!
- [A new year and a new you](https://pdworkman.com/a-new-year-and-a-new-you/) - As I write this blog, we are just a few hours from 2020. Some people love to celebrate a new year, and some people just want to ignore it. I start my planning for the new year in about September, so by the time December is on its way out, I'm usually pretty well set for my next year's plan.
- [Excerpt from Ready Player One](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-ready-player-one/) - I just finished Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline. I had certainly heard about it before, but I hadn't read the book or seen the movie. If you are looking for a book with lots of 80s pop culture nostalgia, this is the one to read! While set in 2045, the protagonist and his competitors must learn everything they can about 1980s technology, music, movies, etc. in order to solve the clues that Halliday has left behind. I don't read a lot of sci fi/futurist fiction, but this one was full of references to the TRS-80 Color Computer 2 (saving programs to cassette tapes), War Games, and so much more.
- [Unlawful Harvest and other freebies this weekend](https://pdworkman.com/unlawful-harvest-and-other-freebies-this-weekend/) - A New Year and... a new book? Now is your chance to pick up Unlawful Harvest, the first Kenzie Kirsch Medical Thriller. Free this weekend through New Year's Day only. Start the year off right with a brand new book on your Kindle device or app.
- [Excerpt from Before the Fall](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-before-the-fall/) - I have been reading Before the Fall, by Noah Hawley. The book begins with the end - protagonist Scott saving a four-year-old boy after their plane goes down in the ocean. It then examines the lives of each of the passengers and how they got there, Scott processing the accident and the investigators trying to figure out what happened. I has been a fascinating story so far. Sensitive readers beware that there is some crude language in this one.
- [Excerpt from A Spark of Light](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-a-spark-of-light/) - I quite enjoy Jodi Picoult and the way that she portrays her characters, each individuals with unique backstories and relationships. And she is not afraid to tackle difficult issues, as you'll find when you read this one! I am currently reading A Spark of Light, which juxtapositions an armed hostage situation with the very personal situations the various women and men are facing.
- [Excerpt from Past Tense](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-past-tense/) - Jack Reacher is always one of my favorites. Last week I picked up Past Tense by Lee Child, and I am enjoying it as usual. This one is slightly different in that there are two parallel stories running, and they have into yet intersected, but I am at the point where they should soon. One story is about Reacher and another is about a Canadian couple, and I have enjoyed a few asides about them behaving a certain way because "they were Canadian." I'm always interested in how people see the differences in Canadian and US culture.
- [Enjoying the season](https://pdworkman.com/enjoying-the-season/) - Hard to believe that it is December already. I knew it was coming, but it's here way before I'm ready for it. What holiday traditions do you have for enjoying the season, rather than just focusing on gifts and one perfect day (when everybody probably comes down with the flu anyway... hasn't everybody had at least one Christmas like that?) And this doesn't have to just apply to Christmas. There are a lot of celebrations going on this time of year.
- [Excerpt from The Atomic City Girls](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-the-girls-of-atomic-city/) - I have just started reading The Atomic City Girls, by Janet Beard. In searching it up on Amazon just now, and realized that there is also a book called The Girls of Atomic City, on the same subject, so be aware if you are looking it up that there are two very similar books out there. The Atomic City Girls is billed as a novel and The Girls of Atomic City as a true story.
- [Excerpt from Camino Island](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-camino-island/) - I just finished reading John Grisham's Camino Island, which is a heist/intrigue novel rather than his usual legal thriller. As the plot surrounds rare manuscripts and writers, there is a lot of insight into the writing life and publishing world. Grisham draws together the disparate threads of the plot together for the grand finale and reveal.
- [Excerpt from Badlands](https://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-badlands/) - I just finished reading Badlands, book #3 in C.J. Box's Highway series. I rarely end up reading series in order, but in this case I have actually read books 1 and 2 (in that order!)

## Projects

- [She was Dying Anyway](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/she-was-dying-anyway/) - "Zachary Goldman?” Zachary nodded distractedly at the man with the clipboard. The movers were wrestling his couch through the doorway of the apartment, turning and angling it to get it through. He wasn’t sure whether they were inexperienced or whether the door was narrower than a standard door. He hadn’t expected them to have any trouble getting his few pieces of new furniture inside.
- [Pursued by the Past](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/pursued-by-the-past/) - Here is a free sample of Pursued by the Past for your reading pleasure! Link to details and buy links CCESS DENIED. “DAMMIT!” VANNA slapped the desk in frustration. She had put her password in twice and she knew that if she got up to three or four, it would lock the email account up.
- [The Hidden Hoard of Drakuntsee](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/hidden-hoard-of-drakuntsee/) - "Do you have any idea where he’s been?” In response to Reg’s question, Davyn looked at Ember. The young dragon hung in the brilliant blue sky, wings flapping slowly, waiting for his chance to play with Reg. His blue-green scales glinted in the sun.
- [Enchanted Mirror Maze](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/enchanted-mirror-maze/) - Reg checked Starlight’s food and water dishes before leaving, though she knew that they were probably still full. Sometimes she forgot to do things that should have been routine, but Starlight wasn’t about to let her forget to feed him. What cat wouldn’t tell his owner that his food dish was empty?
- [He Was Not Himself](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-was-not-himself/) - READ NOW | Zachary was alert as he approached the meeting place, watching for any vehicles following him, either close behind him or at a distance. He normally did not like to meet a new client at an isolated location. He much preferred a busy coffee shop or some other neutral ground, out in public, where he could be seen and have some measure of protection by virtue of the number of witnesses.
- [They Sold Her Story](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/they-sold-her-story/) - The bungalow was solidly middle-class. A neatly cut lawn shaded from the morning sun by a large sugar maple tree, leaves waving in the light breeze. Zachary walked up a flagstone path and admired the hydrangeas and black-eyed Susans as he mounted the steps to the front door.
- [He Broke the Silence](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-broke-the-silence/) - Zachary’s phone rang somewhere under the stacks of paper he was sorting through. At first, it startled him, but that wasn’t why he dove so eagerly into the piles to find it and snatch it up. He was bored with paperwork
- [Talmage Tales](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/talmage-tales/) - Brother Talmage tells of an English student who came upon a mother cat in great distress over the danger her kittens were in. He rescued three mewing kitten and took them home with him.
- [The Writer's Guide to Obsidian](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/the-writers-guide-to-obsidian/) - In Obsidian, information is stored primarily in Markdown files. Markdown files are plain text, with basic formatting indicated by a handful of symbols or character sequences to allow easy conversion to HTML or other formats. Being plain text files, they are very small and not likely to become corrupted.
- [Quiche Me Goodbye](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/quiche-me-goodbye/) - Standing on the grass in the backyard, looking into the woods behind the house, Erin moved through her tai chi forms slowly, stretching and flexing her muscles as she moved through each of the familiar patterns.
- [Chocolate Eclairvoyant](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/chocolate-eclairvoyant/) - Harold watched Erin take the tray of eclairs out of the oven. The tops were golden brown and they had puffed out perfectly. Erin handled the tray gently, hoping they wouldn’t collapse the instant she put them down or they started to cool. She was hopeful that she had the balance of ingredients right this time and that they would hold their shape so she could fill and glaze them without making a big mess.
- [Mock Apple Alibi, Auntie Clem's Bakery Cozy Mysteries](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/mock-apple-alibi/) - Everything was quiet in Bald Eagle Falls. Erin stood at the front window of Auntie Clem’s Bakery, looking out at Main Street. Trees and flowers bloomed along the road. A gentle breeze carried the light scent of dogwood into the bakery. It was too quiet.
- [An Abrupt Departure, A Bleeding Hearts Valley Thriller](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/an-abrupt-departure-a-bleeding-hearts-valley-thriller/) - Here is a free sample of An Abrupt Departure for your reading pleasure! Details and buy links Chapter 1 She hoped she would never see him again. And she was terrified he would never return. Each time she drifted back into consciousness, her body ached all over, and she wanted to move. She had never realized
- [Peril in the Blooms](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/peril-in-the-blooms/) - It was a beautiful day. The morning was pleasant, the heat of the day not yet kicking in. Margie was sure that by midafternoon, it would be too hot to spend much time outside, but the ceremonies would be over by then, and she would be back at home or at the air-conditioned office if she decided to go in for the afternoon.
- [Reservoir of Secrets](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/reservoir-of-secrets/) - It was the perfect day for a picnic in Glenmore Park. Margie was glad it had warmed up and they could get in their first real outing of the year. Moushoom needed a sweater to keep his old body warm, but the rest of them were in shirt sleeves, enjoying the freedom from coats and mittens and other winter gear. Christina’s brown face glowed in the sunlight. She looked happy and carefree, as if school and its accompanying stresses were distant memories. A gentle breeze blew over the reservoir and fluttered the bright green leaves of the trees.
- [Grounded in the Wind](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/grounded-in-the-wind/) - The day began like any other. Things had been pretty quiet on the homicide front, so the team had been working other Major Crimes cases, reviewing some cold homicides for any old evidence that might benefit from modern technology—such as more sophisticated search techniques, cutting-edge DNA testing, or an appeal to the public through social media.
- [Sola al Mondo](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/sola-al-mondo/) - SI SVEGLIÒ AL CHIARORE dell’alba. Tutto taceva. Si udivano dei suoni distanti: un quiz televisivo, voci alte, il rumore del traffico. Ma lì nel suo bozzolo non c’era alcun suono. Nessun movimento. Nessun respiro. Assoluto silenzio.
- [Death's Charm](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/deaths-charm/) - Kenzie was starting to yawn, a sign she had been up for long enough and it was time to head to bed. She and Zachary had been watching an Unsolved Mysteries marathon, challenging themselves to come up with clues, investigative paths, and possible solutions to the various crimes. They skipped over the ones about UFOs, psychic events, or other paranormal mysteries, sticking to the ones about missing persons, murders, finding long-lost relatives, or exploring family history.
- [Healed to Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/healed-to-death/) - Kenzie’s phone started ringing loudly on the side table, jarring her awake. She grabbed it and tried to silence the noise, her fingers clumsy with sleep. She wanted the noise to end as quickly as possible, but finding the button to mute it took precious seconds.
- [Currying Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/currying-death/) - Kenzie was bent over her computer finishing up her notes and reports on the death of an elderly man, Casey Earl, when Dr. Cook approached her desk. He walked with a sense of purpose but did not have a stack of paperwork in his hands, so Kenzie straightened up expectantly. She brushed a few dark curls away from her face.
- [Fur and Fury](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/fur-and-fury/) - Reg had not expected to have to pose for the camera when she arrived at City Hall. Several of the attendees had encouraged her to go to the summit meeting between the warlocks and the werewolves, though she didn’t exactly feel qualified to be there. Who was she? She didn’t have any standing in the negotiations between the two factions.
- [Spellbound Statues](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/spellbound-statues/) - Gideon Darkwood crept through the trees, taking the well-worn pathway to the temple in the orange grove. The moonlight filtered through the dense canopy of orange trees, casting eerie shadows that danced around him as he moved stealthily along the path. The citrusy aroma of oranges lingered in the air, but Gideon’s thoughts were far removed from their sweetness.
- [X Marks the Past](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/x-marks-the-past/) - Reg was surprised to find the door to Marian’s business, Psychic Beginnings, locked. As far as she knew, Marian kept regular hours, and was always at her storefront during the afternoon and evening, prime time for a psychic consultant.
- [She Once Vanished](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/she-once-vanished/) - Although Zachary was a private investigator, there wasn’t usually any cloak-and-dagger involved. That was for spies, not private investigators, and even the spies he knew didn’t use that sort of thing. But his new client had insisted on absolute privacy, and Zachary understood why.
- [He Was Deceived](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-was-deceived/) - Zachary gazed out the front window at a delivery truck moving slowly down the street. He couldn’t help but feel anxious when he saw a courier. The last package that had been delivered to him had not been what he had expected. It would be a while before he could feel the same excitement and anticipation opening a box or envelope left on his doorstep.
- [Henry, Quebrando Padrões](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/henry-quebrando-padroes/) - Henry tentou entrar na sala quieto e sem chamar a atenção. Meio difícil, uma vez que a turma estava em silêncio e ele chegou no meio da aula. Os alunos copiavam as anotações em seus fichários; a lousa já estava cheia.
- [She Was Out of Reach](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/she-was-out-of-reach/) - Zachary had been surprised that Rose Bircher wanted to meet him in her lab rather than at home. Most women in her circumstances would have been at home, unable to focus on work. They would take a leave of absence until things could get straightened out.
- [Custard Cream Conspiracy](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/custard-cream-conspiracy/) - It was a perfectly normal day until Erin was bowled right off her feet. She had finished her shift at Auntie Clem’s Bakery and was on her way over to The General Store to see Mary Lou about some more jam. The Jam Lady jams were always a good upsell to go with her handcrafted gluten-free breads, and she felt good about supporting a friend in the community as well. It was a win-win-win. Good for her and her business, good for Mary Lou and her family, and good for the customers, who went home with a yeasty, delicious loaf of bakery-fresh bread and a jewel-toned jar of blueberry jam.
- [Lo Que Sabía El Gato](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/lo-que-sabia-el-gato/) - Reg Rawlins bajó del coche y estiró los músculos entumecidos de conducir todo el día. Según el termómetro del salpicadero, hacía unos grados más que en Tennessee. Además, había humedad y el aire estaba cargado. Podía oler el océano. Había oído que cualquier punto de Florida estaba a menos de cien kilómetros del océano en línea recta.
- [Con la Puesta de Sol](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/con-la-puesta-de-sol/) - Mamá ¡tienes que estar de broma!, ¿hablas en serio?”
- [Muffin to Hide](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/muffin-to-hide/) - "Do you really think there is a possibility that Gerald Montgomery would come all the way to Bald Eagle Falls?” Vic asked. Her tone was doubtful, but her eyes were bright. She was, Erin thought, trying to tamp down her excitement over the idea, not wanting to get her hopes up for something she considered to be unlikely.
- [Cinn-Full Secrets](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/cinn-full-secrets/) - All you need to do is tell me where she is,” Simon growled. “Come on, you can help a guy out.” Erin shook her head. She continued to line up portions of cream cheese icing in tiny paper cups along the tray, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him. The rich, spicy smell of the freshly baked cinnamon rolls filled the bakery.
- [Meurtre Sans Gluten](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/meurtre-sans-gluten/) - Erin Price gara sa voiture et coupa le moteur qui émettait un cliquetis bruyant. Elle prit quelques grandes respirations en examinant la façade depuis la rue. Bien qu’elle ne l’ait pas vue depuis son enfance, elle constata que la boutique avait conservé son aspect d’antan. Elle avait l’air un peu plus petite et plus modeste, mais elle restait fidèle à ses souvenirs.
- [Michelle (Spanish)](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/michelle-spanish/) - Michelle estaba en su habitación con un libro cuando su papá llegó a casa después de un largo viaje con Marcie. Escuchó a June saludar a Justin y Marcie. Kenny, sentado en la cama mirando sus libros escolares, se levantó y salió al salón.
- [Pulse](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/pulse/) - Joseph’s phone alarm went off, jolting him rudely out of sleep, as it did every morning. But this wasn’t just any morning. He sat bolt upright, feeling for his phone, trying to shut off the klaxon, his heart beating rapidly in his chest.
- [Echoes of the Engine](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/echoes-of-the-engine/) - It was a gorgeous day, clear, sitting at ten degrees above zero, so Margie and her daughter Christina only needed light jackets, particularly when running to keep up with Stella, who was greatly enjoying her first visit to Pearce Estate Park.
- [Bench with a View](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/bench-with-a-view/) - Margie really didn’t like early morning calls. The sunrise was so late in the autumn and winter that she really couldn’t expect the sun to have risen before she got to every homicide site. But she never could understand people getting up so early to run or walk their dogs, coming across fresh bodies when it was still too early for Margie to drag herself out of bed.
- [Beneath the Icy Depths](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/beneath-the-icy-depths/) - Margie was working at her desk. Snoozing, if she were to be honest with herself. The bullpen was warm and Margie had hit her midafternoon slump, trying to push through some paperwork but making little progress.
- [Captured in Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/captured-in-death/) - It wasn’t the way Kenzie’s cases normally came to her. As an assistant to the medical examiner, she was used to bodies being brought in by van, laid out on the table and cleaned, ready for her to begin her postmortem. She would have some scene notes to peruse or, if she had gone out to the scene herself, she would have dictated the notes. Maybe she would be by herself, or maybe with Dr. Cook, who was substituting for Dr. Wiltshire while his broken hand was healing.
- [A Los Que Creen](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-los-que-creen/) - Nathan sintió que estaban debajo de un microscopio cuando llevaban las cajas y valijas a la casa. Las personas estaban mirando. Ellos pretendían no hacerlo, pero Nathan podía sentir los ojos sobre él. Personas en la calle pretendiendo solo pasar caminando. Los vecinos mirando a través de sus cortinas. Habían muchos ojos.
- [Olhando Por Cima do Ombroy](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/olhando-por-cima-do-ombroy/) - JUNEAU TENTOU SAIR DE FININHO rapidamente antes que sua mãe começasse a falar a que horas tinha que estar de volta ou lhe dar uma infinidade de outros conselhos para mantê-la sã e salva. Ela abriu a porta, vestindo seu suéter, e agarrou sua bolsa tudo ao mesmo tempo. Theo ficou diretamente em seu c
- [O Segredo de Cynthia](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/o-segredo-de-cynthia-2/) - Carmina pôde ver os giroflexes antes de chegar à sua propriedade. Ela sabia que estavam perto e estava curiosa para saber o que os vizinhos estavam fazendo para que a polícia estivesse lá. Júlio, o pai dela, estava sempre desconfiado sobre o que seus vizinhos estavam tramando, então não foi surpresa alguma para Carmina que eles estavam em apuros.
- [Shattered to Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/shattered-to-death/) - Kenzie was just dropping off to sleep when her phone rang, making both her and Zachary jump.
- [Aqueles Que Acreditam](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/aqueles-que-acreditam/) - Nathansentiu como se eles estivessem sob um microscópio enquanto carregavam as caixas e as malas para dentro de casa. As pessoas estavam olhando. Eles não pretendiam, mas Nathan podia sentir seus olhos nele. As pessoas na rua queriam apenas andar. Os vizinhos olhando através das janelas. Haviam muitos olhares.
- [O Segredo de Cynthia](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/o-segredo-de-cynthia/) - Carmina pôde ver os giroflexes antes de chegar à sua propriedade. Ela sabia que estavam perto e estava curiosa para saber o que os vizinhos estavam fazendo para que a polícia estivesse lá. Júlio, o pai dela, estava sempre desconfiado sobre o que seus vizinhos estavam tramando, então não foi surpresa alguma para Carmina que eles estavam em apuros.
- [Uma Médium com Gatitude](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/uma-medium-com-gatitude/) - Como você está?" o bruxo moreno e bonito perguntou com uma voz rouca, tocando o local na mão de Reg onde Hawthorne-Rose a havia cortado, causando arrepios em seus braços e costas. Ela tentou não o deixar ver sua reação, sorrindo com despreocupação e afastando-se de seu toque e do cheiro inebriante de rosas que ficavam mais fortes sempre que ele ligava o charme.
- [Murder Meringue Pie](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/murder-meringue-pie/) - It was Sunday morning, so Erin was having a relaxed breakfast with Terry rather than having to be at the bakery in the wee hours of the morning to bake bread and get everything ready for the day.
- [Endowed with Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/endowed-with-death/) - Kenzie’s ringer sounded. That wouldn’t have been unusual except that she had it turned to silent mode during their visit with Lorne Peterson and his partner Patrick Parker. The ring wasn’t just her generic ringtone, but the “urgent” trill that meant it was a work call, and it was programmed to bypass silent mode so that she couldn’t miss it.
- [Lunar Lies](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/lunar-lies/) - Malcolm Witchell was Reg’s first appointment of the evening. She had not met with him before, so she wasn’t sure what to expect.
- [Enrique, Rompiendo el Patrón](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/enrique-rompiendo-el-patron/) - Enrique trató de entrar en la habitación en silencio y pasar desapercibido. Un poco difícil cuando la clase estaba en silencio por una lección y él llegaba a la mitad del período. La pizarra ya estaba llena de notas que los estudiantes estaban copiando en sus carpetas.
- [A Waffle Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-waffle-death/) - Here is a free sample of A Waffle Death for your reading pleasure! Details and buy links Chapter 1 The warm morning sunshine spilled into the bakery and glinted off the glass of the display case at the front of Auntie Clem’s Bakery. Erin studied it to make sure that everything was in order. And of course,
- [The Immortal's Key](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/the-immortals-key/) - The kittens really were the cutest visitors Reg had ever had in the cottage. Nine pure-black little cats, they were almost impossible to tell apart. Yet they were each starting to show distinct personalities so that Reg could, in fact, tell one from the other. It was hard to believe that only days before, they had been draugrs, undead creatures raised by the Witch Doctor to do his bidding. Now, no one would guess that they had started their existence as zombies.
- [Tainted Truffle Treachery](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/tainted-truffle-treachery/) - Strange things are happening in Black Sands. Reg and her friends investigate a sinister plot involving the wildly popular Mystical Morsels. But the danger is far from over as they discover the true motive behind the deadly plot and face a dangerous enemy. Tainted Truffle Treachery is a race against time in this paranormal mystery.
- [Sleepwalker's Sanctuary](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/sleepwalkers-sanctuary/) - Reg listened to the voices. They started as whispers in her head. Like the other voices that were always there. There was always a background murmur; sometimes she could pick out the individual voices or feelings, and other times she could not.
- [A Fowl Play on Christmas Day](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-fowl-play-on-christmas-day/) - Reg looked up and down the street for anyone. She didn’t see anyone watching so, hopefully, her arrival had been unobserved. She gathered her colorful skirts and walked up the sidewalk to Erin Price’s house and rang the doorbell.
- [His Fear Was Real](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/his-fear-was-real/) - This is nice!” Tyrrell looked around the restaurant, his eyes pausing momentarily on one of the TVs showing the game. “Great to have a ‘bro night’ now and then.” Zachary nodded his agreement. He didn’t want to bring up anything serious yet. He would let Tyrrell get comfortable. Make sure that he was calm and relaxed. See whether he could spot any red flags.
- [Looking Over Your Shoulder](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/looking-over-your-shoulder/) - ABE WALKED BACK INTO the terminal, looking around in confusion. The normally quiet rooms were in chaos. There were police and security everywhere. A cop in riot gear, minus the helmet, grabbed Abe by the arm, jabbing him in the ribs with a big, black, ominous-looking gun strapped around his neck and body. Abe looked at him, uncomprehending. “Who are you?” the cop demanded.
- [Yule's Sinister Spell](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/delusions-of-the-past/) - Reg didn’t recognize her right away. She looked at the woman who stood on the doorstep of the cottage and raised her eyebrows questioningly, wondering who she was and what she was there for. She didn’t have a lanyard with ID to identify her as a canvasser for any charity or a utility repair person. She wasn’t someone that Reg recognized from the area. She might be a client that Sarah, Reg’s landlord, had lined up or someone who had seen Reg’s advertising and decided to drop by instead of making an appointment as requested in all of her posters.
- [Those Who Believe](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/those-who-believe/) - Nathan was dreaming before Mama shook him awake. He tried to hang onto the dream, to remember what it had been about, and groaned. It had been a nice dream. And he was still tired. He wanted to go back to sleep and keep dreaming it.
- [Lion Within](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/lion-within/) - LEO. THE LION. SOMETIMES I wonder if I am the only one walking around with a lion inside me. I try to suppress it, to bury the lion, to keep it deep, deep down inside me. But it doesn’t seem to matter. It is still there, barely beneath the surface, showing its snarling face at the least provocation.
- [Questing for a Dream](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/questing-for-a-dream/) - GRANDFATHER!” NADIE SHOOK HIM hard, trying to rouse him. She tried their native Nehiyaw—what the white man called Cree. “Nimosôm! Willie Laplante!” She shouted in his ear and shook him so hard she nearly pulled him off of the couch, but to no avail. He wasn’t waking up. Nadie made a noise of disgust and let go of his arm. “Have a nice sleep!” she muttered.
- [Once Brothers](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/once-brothers/) - Jacob shook his head. He couldn’t understand why random bullies were always getting on his case. He didn’t bother anyone. He let everyone else live their own lives without interference. Why did they always think it was their calling to interfere with his?
- [Intersexion](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/intersexion/) - Roz arrived at the shelter. For a moment, she just breathed in the busy noise of the hours between supper and lights-out. It was sort of sad that she felt more relaxed and at peace amidst the noise and chaos of Hannah House than at her own home. It seemed like the only time that she wasn’t constantly on edge and dealing with her family’s complaints and grouchiness now was when she was at Hannah. Take her own two hormonal teenagers and multiply by six, and you would think that there would be six times the stress and angst at the youth shelter. But instead, she found it calming.
- [In the Tick of Time](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/in-the-tick-of-time/) - Matt, wake up! Are you okay? Matt!” Matt pried his eyes open. His head whirled in confusion. He pressed his hands over his eyes, trying to block out the bright light slicing into his brain like a knife.
- [Loose the Dogs](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/loose-the-dogs/) - OF ONE THING I AM sure,” Glenn declared. “These dogs are perfectly harmless.”
- [Endless Change](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/endless-change/) - Parker hit his bike brakes and waited for the light to change. He always got stopped at that light, and it always took forever to change to green. He would just hop across the street during a lull in traffic, but it was a busy time of day and the cars were whizzing by pretty quickly. Not a good time to compete for physical space.

Her heart thumped hard and fast, but she forced herself to slow down and carefully consider her surroundings. It was three against one and she wasn’t going to come out
- [Virtually Harmless](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/virtually-harmless/) - He thought that he was safe. It was the perfect crime. No witnesses left alive, no one to point the finger at him. He’d shown her who was boss. She thought she could go behind his back? Cheat on him? Every day acting like she was the perfect little girlfriend, so naive and innocent and happy to please him, and all along, she’d been sneaking around behind his back. Well, he’d shown her.
- [She Was Their Target](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/she-was-their-target/) - Zachary stared at the screen on his phone after the call ended, frowning and thinking about what the woman had said.

- [Gluten-Free Murder](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/gluten-free-murder/) - Armed with gluten-free cupcakes and her thirst for justice, Erin and her new sidekick Vic strive to sift through the clues and separate the buckwheat from the chaff. Can she smoke out the culprit before her timer runs out?
- [Toxo](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/toxo/) - Mrs. Bradshaw touched Caleb on the shoulder. He looked up at her through the fringe of brown hair that hung in his face. Mrs. Bradshaw spoke, but Caleb’s sound processor clicked and buzzed. He tapped it, frowning and focusing on her face to try to understand what she was saying. She wore very red lipstick and made a weird fish-face when she was trying to make it easier for him to read her. It didn’t help.
- [Vanishing Teardrops](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/vanishing-teardrops/) - Tamara sat in front of the parole board, feeling like a bug under a magnifying glass. Everyone in the room had watched her enter the room. She stumbled, suddenly forgetting how to walk normally, too conscious of her feet and legs. Gomez directed her into the lone chair waiting front and center, as if she might not know where she was supposed to go otherwise.
- [Tortured Teardrops](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/tortured-teardrops/) - TAMARA AWOKE WITH A hand gripping her shoulder. She sat bolt upright, her eyes flying open, hands coming up to protect herself. “Take it easy, French,” Kirk snapped, pulling back from her. “What are you doing still in bed? Reveille went a long time ago. You’re missing breakfast.”
- [Two Teardrops](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/two-teardrops/) - TAMARA HAD SOMEHOW EXPECTED expected things to be different when she was readmitted to the juvenile detention center. She had changed during her short period of release, and she had subconsciously expected that juvie and the people there would have changed as well.

Tamara sat on an uncomfortable bench in the brightly-lit lobby waiting for her ride. It was strange being
- [Dark Water under the Bridge](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/dark-water-under-the-bridge/) - The sun was still low in the sky, orange light filtering into the kitchen. Margie “Detective Pat” Patenaude was sipping her morning coffee and staring into the depths of her fridge, trying to decide whether to make herself a bag lunch to take to the police station with her, or whether she would take a break and go find something over lunch. She hadn’t explored many restaurants near the office, so she wasn’t sure what was avail- able. Not that she was that picky.
- [Hazard of the Hills](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/hazard-of-the-hills/) - Margie studied Christina as she prepared to go out with her friends. “Hat? Sunscreen? Bug spray?” “Mom!” Christina gave her most exasperated-teenager groan to the word. “I don’t need any of those things. It isn’t like I’m going to get sunburned.”
- [Fail](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/fail/) - Kiara watched Malachi playing with the toys in the waiting room. She really hated his playing with communal toys, especially in a place like the doctor’s office, worrying that he would pick up some bug. He was so miserable when he got sick. Who knew how often the doctor’s office sanitized the toys and how many other kids had touched them or put them in their mouths since they had last been cleaned. Of course, at this age, everything went into Malachi’s mouth. Kiara’s mom said that was the way that babies explored the world. You really couldn’t stop them. But she tried to engage him in pushing the cars around the little track instead of picking them up to put them in his mouth.
- [Pain](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/pain/) - Hannah curled up into herself, arms wrapped around her middle, knees up to her nose, the pain taking over her body. It started in her stomach and spread outward until her whole body was racked with pain. She couldn’t stand the covers pulled over her or the air moving in the room. Every sensory input hurt from head to toes.
- [Proxy](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/proxy/) - None of the other kids had worked as hard as Seth had to get there. He had fought through his illness, through countless hospital stays, never wavering from his wish to visit Disneyland. His face was pale, his spiky dark-blond hair damp with sweat, and his lanky teenage body too thin, but he had made it there. He’d made it to his goal. And, as he had insisted, not in a wheelchair but under his own power, though she noticed that he was leaning against the signpost for support.
- [EDS](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/eds/) - Katt let herself into the house and immediately turned on the TV. After finding the remote and turning to the right channel, she headed into the kitchen to pull together a snack. She had timed everything perfectly so that she had five minutes before her show came on. She danced around the kitchen, tossing her blond hair and sweeping her long arms out like a ballerina before deciding that was a bad idea if she didn’t want to risk smashing into something.
- [Mito](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/mito/) - It wasn’t the first time in his life that Gabriel had woken up in hospital. He’d been in and out of hospitals as long as he could remember. But his head was thick and sluggish, and he couldn’t remember what had happened. He looked around for his mother. Keisha would tell him what had happened and why he was there again.
- [They Came for Him](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/they-came-for-him/) - Zachary’s phone rang as he breakfasted with Kenzie. He knew better than to answer it at dinnertime unless it was an emergency, but he didn’t usually have to worry about it ringing during breakfast, so he wasn’t sure how to handle it. He glanced at Kenzie, who raised her brows questioningly. Zachary decided he’d better at least check to see who it was. It could be Heather, his older sister, calling to let him know that there was a client he needed to deal with urgently. Or it could be Lorne Peterson, his old foster father and long-time friend, who wanted to reach him while Kenzie was still home to invite them over for dinner or let them know something that was going on. It would be rare for a client or anyone else to call him first thing in the morning.

- [Their Walls Were Empty](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/their-walls-were-empty/) - Zachary sat bolt upright in the bed, gasping for breath. The room was dark and he was disoriented. He felt around him for something that he had lost, desperate to lay hold of whatever it had been. A key? A coin? A baby that had slipped out of his grasp. It was important that he find it before it was lost to him forever. He slid his hands under the covers, under the pillow. He encountered Kenzie beside him, but it was a minute before he knew who it was and that she wasn’t the thing he had lost.
- [He Drowned in Memory](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-drowned-in-memory/) - Zachary watched out the windshield as Kenzie drove back to her house. It seemed like a long time since he had been outside. It was very bright with all the white snow on the ground, the branches of the trees also covered with piles of newly fallen snow. It always looked so nice and clean right after a snowfall. Before all the dirt from the roads was kicked up and tracks and trails were stomped down by pedestrians.
- [Por Conta Própria](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/por-conta-propria/) - Ela acordou com A primeira luz do amanhecer. Tudo ao seu redor estava quieto. Havia sons distantes; um game show na televisão, vozes altas, o barulho do trânsito. Mas, no seu casulo, não havia nada. Nenhum movimento. Nenhuma respiração. Apenas silêncio.
- [JUNE & JUSTIN](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/june-justin-es/) - Justin se despertó aturdido. Siguió tratando de volver a dormir, pero los ruidos persistentes no le permitían volver a acomodarse. Se frotó los ojos, todavía desorientado por haber sido despertado de un sueño pesado. Trató de ordenar los ruidos. Pensó que podía oír las voc
- [She Was At Risk](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/she-was-at-risk/) - Zachary gazed out Kenzie’s living room window at the pleasant, suburban view. He hadn’t realized how much he was missing by living in apartment buildings instead of a nice little house like Kenzie had. When he stared out the window at his apartment, he saw nothing but sky, or looked down at the dirty parking lot, complete with homeless people going through the trash for bottles. He didn’t know his neighbors within the apartment building well. They were familiar enough to nod to in the elevator, but that was about it.
- [ΜΗΝ ΞΕΧΝΆΣ ΤΟΝ ΣΤΊΒΕΝ](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/μην-ξεχνάσ-τον-στίβεν/) - Ποτέ δεν αποκάλυπτε τι συνέβαινε πίσω από τις κλειστές πόρτες. Αλλά αυτή τη φορά, του είναι αδύνατον να θυμηθεί.
- [Perseguido Por El Pasado](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/perseguido-por-el-pasado/) - Vanna tuvo una buena vida. Tenía sus desafíos, como las altas expectativas que su madre tenía de ella, pero en general, tenía un trabajo que disfrutaba, un pasatiempo divertido y amigos. Ella no necesitaba ninguna complicación.
- [He Never Forgot](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-never-forgot/) - Zachary was on the highway driving home from Jocelyn’s house, thinking over his visit with Joss and the young man she was helping out, now known as Luke. It was going to be a long recovery period for Luke, after being trapped in human trafficking—both servicing his own clients and forced to recruit and train new teens—for a number of years. Successfully separating himself from that life was going to be more challenging for him than rehabbing from years of drug abuse. But if there were anyone who could help him through the process, it was Jocelyn.
- [She Told a Lie](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/she-told-a-lie/) - Zachary tried to stay in the zone he was in, just on the border between sleeping and waking, for as long as he could. He felt warm and safe and at peace, and it was such a good feeling he wanted to remain there as long as he could before the anxieties of consciousness started pouring in.
- [Her Work Was Everything](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/her-work-was-everything/) - Zachary had heard about the death of Lauren Barclay in the news before he was contacted by Barbara Lee. It seemed like such a tragic waste. A promising young investment banker, she had been tragically killed in a slip-and-fall accident in her home. It wasn’t particularly newsworthy, except for the fact that she had been an attractive, brilliant young woman, and that played well in the press on a slow news day. There were a lot of quotes from family and friends about how awful it was and what a wonderful person she had been. There would be a lot of mourners at her funeral.
- [He Was Not There](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-was-not-there/) - Zachary was glad that Tyrrell had called. He had needed a reason to get away from Kenzie for a while. Their relationship, which had begun more than a year ago, had gotten more complicated since Zachary had been attacked, and he needed a reason to take a break from Kenzie’s ministrations. He didn’t want to tell her to leave him alone and give him some space, but he wasn’t sure how else to get her out of his apartment when she came over for a visit.
- [They Thought He Was Safe](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/they-thought-he-was-safe/) - The little family gathered around the dining room table was about as far from a traditional nuclear family as one could get. Lorne Peterson had been Zachary’s foster father for a few weeks when he was young, following the house fire that had been the last straw in the break-up of his biological family. But Zachary and Mr. Peterson had kept in touch, connected in part by a love of photography and his former foster father’s darkroom facilities.
- [Wedding Cake Crush](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/wedding-cake-crush/) - Dakota holds her secrets close, and Parker is worried that if he pushes too hard for answers, she’ll just run away.
- [He was Walking Alone](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/he-was-walking-alone/) - Zachary was standing staring out his window at the businesses across the street from his apartment building, where an old man with a ladder was stringing up Christmas lights when his phone rang. He was startled out of his trance and nearly did a face-plant into the window before he regained his balance.

- [Out with the Sunset](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/out-with-the-sunset/) - Mom, you’ve got to be kidding me! Are you serious?” Margie winced at Christina’s complaint. Up until her phone ringer had shattered their quiet morning preparations, the day had been going well. Bright sunshine streamed in through the kitchen windows of the small house. The rich odor of brewing coffee filled the air. Christina had been blow-drying her long black hair, the hum of the dryer providing a soothing white-noise background as Margie prepared her breakfast and reviewed the day’s plans. Everything had been peaceful despite both of their ‘first-day’ anxieties.
- [Skimming Over the Lake](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/skimming-over-the-lake/) - Margie was settled in front of the TV with her teenage daughter Christina as the Calgary Stampede parade began. The Stampede had been canceled the previous year due to COVID so everyone was eager to see its return. The much-shorter parade could only be watched on TV and not attended in person. At least it was still going ahead.

- [Immersed in the View](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/immersed-in-the-view/) - Margie was puffing by the time she got to the park. She was getting into better shape. She could go farther than she had been able to when she started, but she was still in pretty sad shape compared to what she had been as a beat cop, getting plenty of exercise walking the streets. Sitting at a desk was not good for her, and she had not been getting as much exercise as she had thought she would once she arrived in Calgary.

- [Hot on the Trail Mix](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/hot-on-the-trail-mix/) - Erin pushed Orange Blossom to the side with her foot, ignoring his meows of protest, so that she could get into the pantry cupboard for the food she had set aside for Vic. In order to keep him from getting into something that would make him sick, Blossom was not allowed in the pantry, even though it had now been determined that he hadn’t gotten sick from getting into something he shouldn’t have, but had been intentionally poisoned. It was still safest if she only fed him cat food she knew to be safe. Or meat that she prepared for him while making her own meals.
- [Changing Fortune Cookies](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/changing-fortune-cookies/) - Erin invited Mary Lou into the house and, at first, it looked like the older woman was going to refuse. She hadn’t been happy with Erin recently. This latest development wasn’t going to make her more likely to forgive Erin for past mistakes. But then Mary Lou nodded her head, patted her gray bob, and entered. Erin motioned toward the couch, her brain spinning, trying to sort things out.
- [Cold as Ice Cream](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/cold-as-ice-cream/) - As soon as Erin got home from work, Orange Blossom was underfoot, meowing and yowling in greeting, winding around her legs, telling her all about his busy (or not so busy) day at home. Erin put down her purse and took off her jacket and picked him up.

- [Vegan Baked Alaska](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/vegan-baked-alaska/) - In Erin’s dream, it was dark. Pitch black. She was feeling around, trying to figure out where she was and how she had gotten there. Her stomach roiled and sweat dripped down her face and ran down her back. All she could feel around her was rock. At first, she could stand up and walk along the long passageway, but the roof kept getting lower and lower until she was crouching, and then crawling on her hands and knees, worrying about how she was going to slither along on her belly if it got any lower. How was she going to get out if the tunnel dwindled down to nothing?
- [Apple-achian Treasure](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/apple-achian-treasure/) - Erin fit her key in the lock and found herself holding her breath as she turned it. The lock clicked smoothly open and Erin pushed the door open. She turned to look back over her shoulder at Vic as she entered.

- [Coup de Glace](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/coup-de-glace/) - It was hard for Erin to believe that Bella and Vic were only a year apart in age, if that. Vic was her own woman, independent, knowledgeable, opinionated. Sometimes Erin felt like Vic was older than she herself. But Bella was definitely still a kid. Having graduated from high school, she was available to help out at the bakery more often, but Erin had a hard time thinking of her as a grown up.

- [Stirring Up Murder](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/stirring-up-murder/) - Erin managed to block Orange Blossom from getting out the door as she took out the garbage. She drew in a deep breath of fresh air and enjoyed the stillness of the early morning. There would be plenty of action at Auntie Clem’s Bakery. It was good to cherish the quiet for a moment at the beginning of her day. Adele told her that she needed to take more time for herself and be at one with nature and the universe. It probably wouldn’t hurt, but Erin’s mind was always racing ahead, already working on the next thing. She held her breath when she opened the garbage bin and threw her bag in. Even though she washed it out regularly, it still made her gag if she caught a whiff of it from a few feet away. Erin glanced up and down the street for any sign of activity and then went around to the back of the house.

- [Cloaked Campaign](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/cloaked-campaign/) - Reg was eager to see Davyn as she drove down the highway toward the isolated area he had directed her to. To be honest, she was more excited to see Ember, but that seemed unfair to her mentor. Reg had, after all, only known the dragon since he had hatched a few weeks earlier in the garden behind the guest cottage Reg rented, and she had known Davyn for almost a year.
- [Undiscovered Tomb](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/undiscovered-tomb/) - Reg rubbed her eyes and yawned, not particularly ready to face her day and Sarah’s disapproval. The gray-haired, older woman was usually pleasant and easy to get along with. Reg’s landlord, she rented out the guest cottage in her back yard at a very reasonable rate, fully furnished in a rustic Florida style, and could frequently be found stocking Reg’s fridge or writing new appointments into Reg’s appointment book on the kitchen island, which Reg didn’t pay her to do. She was helpful and grandmotherly and had helped Reg through some difficult situations.
- [Thrice Spared](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/thrice-spared/) - Reg watched Corvin walk away from her down the path out of the backyard. Almost as soon as he was gone, the back door of the big house banged and Sarah was striding toward Reg with great purpose. Reg was momentarily thrown back to her childhood when an older woman coming toward her like that almost certainly presaged a slap across the head and punishment for whatever real or perceived infraction the current foster mom thought she had committed.
- [Missing Powers](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/missing-powers/) - Reg met with Davyn for her lesson on firecasting in a forested area outside of Black Sands. The woods in Florida were a beautiful, lush green. Davyn wore his usual black cloak, hood pulled up over his head so she couldn’t see much of his face. He had been selecting different areas for her to practice in each time they met lately, which she supposed was to help her be prepared to use her craft in whatever circumstances she found herself in. He did seem to prefer remote outdoor locations.
- [A Christmas Carol](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-christmas-carol/) - Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.
- [The Life of Our Lord](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/the-life-of-our-lord/) - My dear children, I am very anxious that you should know something about the History of Jesus Christ. For everybody ought to know about Him. No one ever lived, who was so good, so kind, so gentle, and so sorry for all people who did wrong, or were in any way ill or miserable, as he was. And as he is now in Heaven, where we hope to go, and all to meet each other after we are dead, and there be happy always together, you never can think what a good place Heaven, is without knowing who he was and what he did.

- [Dave Dashaway, Air Champion](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/dave-dashaway-air-champion/) - Dave, here is something that will surely interest you.” As he spoke, Hiram Dobbs held up a newspaper to the view of his companion, and Dave Dashaway caught sight of the prominent headline: “Grand International Aviation Contest.”
- [Dave Dashaway and His Giant Airship](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/dave-dashaway-and-his-giant-airship/) - Is that your airship?” “Not exactly, but I am in charge of it.” “The Gossamer, isn’t it?” “Yes.” “Belongs to the Interstate Aero Company?”
- [Dave Dashaway and His Hydroplane](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/dave-dashaway-and-his-hydroplane/) - Telegram, sir.” “Who for?” “Dave Dashaway.” “I’ll take it.” The messenger boy who had just entered the hangar of the great prize monoplane of the air meet at Columbus, stared wonderingly about him while the man in charge of the place receipted for the telegram.
- [Book of Mormon 365-Day Reader](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/book-of-mormon-365-day-reader/) - I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days.

- [Flatland, a Romance of Many Dimensions](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/flatland-a-romance-of-many-dimensions/) - I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live in Space. Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows—only hard and with luminous edges—and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, I should have said “my universe”: but now my mind has been opened to higher views of things.
- [Dave Dashaway the Young Aviator](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/dave-dashaway-the-young-aviator/) - YOU DON’T MEAN TO say that new-fangled airship of yours will fly, Dave Dashaway?” “No, it’s only a model, as you see.” “Would the real one go up, though?” “It might. I hope so. But this is a start, anyway.” “Yes, and a fine one,” said Ned Towner, enthusiastically. “You’re a smart boy, Dave, and everybody says so.” “I wish my dear old father was living,” remarked Dave in a tone of sadness and regret. “There wasn’t much about sky sailing he didn’t know. In these times, when everybody is so interested in airships, he would be bound to make his mark.”

La casa era tranquilla, niente urla, né musica alta o TV a tutto volume che si sentiva da fuori. La moto di Jack e la macchina di Russ erano entrambe parcheggiate nel vialetto, quantomeno erano a casa. Cominciava a far buio fuori e Steven si trovò di fronte il suo riflesso nel vetro della porta prima di aprirla. Era alto per la sua età, troppo magro, un cespuglio di capelli neri un po’ troppo lunghi e indisciplinati e occhi scuri che a volte lo coglievano di sorpresa per la loro intensità quando si guardava di sfuggita. Steven respirò lentamente, in modo deciso aprì la porta ed entrò.

Der Gedanke ließ Zachary sich krank fühlen.

No se estaba despertando. Nadie hizo un ruido de disgusto y soltó su brazo. "¡Que duermas bien!", murmuró.

Ella podía decir que estaban cerca, y tenía curiosidad por saber qué habían estado haciendo los vecinos que la policía estaba allí. Julius, su padre, siempre sospechó de lo que sus vecinos estaban haciendo, por lo que no fue una sorpresa para Carmina que estuvieran en problemas.
- [Por mí misma](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/por-mi-misma/) - SE DESPERTÓ CON LA luz tenue del amanecer. A su alrededor todo estaba en silencio. Se escuchaban sonidos distantes; un programa de televisión, voces elevadas, los ruidos del tráfico. Pero en su pequeño cascarón, no había nada. Ningún movimiento, ni siquiera la respiración; solo silencio.
- [El Mal Camino de Ruby](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/el-mal-camino-de-ruby/) - RUBY SE ENCONTRABA EN lose brazos de Chuck, escuchando su profunda e irregular respiración. Se preguntó por un instante qué hacía él en las noches que no se veían. En algunas ocasiones pasaba una semana entre sus visitas, otras veces lo veía casi todos los días pero regularmente pasaba mucho tiempo entre medio.
- [El León Interior](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/el-leon-interior/) - LEO CAMINA POR EL ESTACIONAMIENTO mirando las ventanas de los automóviles al pasar. Es difícil dejar atrás ciertas costumbres. No a causa de su pasado delictivo, cuando hubiese abierto un vehículo para robar algo, o para darle su merecido a quien se lo buscase, sino por su trabajo. Había pasado demasiadas horas sacando criaturas del interior de autos a temperaturas elevadas.
- [Cut Out Cookie](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/cut-out-cookie/) - Erin heard Terry’s truck engine as he pulled in front of the house and parked. She rubbed a hand across her forehead, trying to ease the muscle tension that was giving her a headache. Orange Blossom meowed a protest as she got up out of bed, removing his favorite warm body. She scratched his ears and continued past him to the front door. She reached it at the same time that Terry opened the door and put out his hand to enter the security code into the burglar alarm panel.
- [Sandy, Breaking the Pattern](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/sandy-breaking-the-pattern/) - Sun streamed through the dingy windows of the hospital onto the white sheets of the bed and curtains. Mol held the squalling pink bundle out to Rene. Rene took the baby and jiggled her, gazing down at her. She had a fuzz of rusty orange hair covering her head. Her eyes, though blue, were dark, shifting a little under the light, making him think that they would turn out to be green or brown.
- [Skunk Man Swamp](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/skunk-man-swamp/) - Reg realized she had become distracted and stopped hearing Damon. He had been talking about the Spring Games—apparently the magical equivalent of the Olympics—at least since Yule, but over the past few weeks it had become more and more central to his conversation, until it was practically the only thing he talked about. And she couldn’t listen for long before tuning him out and going on a little mental vacation. Normally, she was good at looking attentive but this time she had apparently failed.
- [Magic Ain't a Game](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/magic-aint-a-game/) - You should print up some flyers or brochures for the Spring Games,” Sarah told Reg, as she bustled around tidying up. The older, gray-haired woman opened the planner on Reg’s kitchen island to review her appointments. “I don’t have anything to do with the Spring Games,” Reg said, frowning and rubbing her sticky eyes. “Why would I print flyers for it?”
- [Bobby, Breaking the Pattern](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/bobby-breaking-the-pattern/) - Bobby watched the scenery flash past the window, feeling a little car sick. He swallowed and glanced at Elsie. “What are they like?” he squeaked. He swallowed and cleared his throat. “I wish I didn’t have to l-leave Devonish’s.”
- [Time to Your Elf](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/time-to-your-elf/) - The sun was down and Reg was feeling energized as she looked through the appointment book on her kitchen island. It felt good to have some business coming in again. Her bank account had almost dwindled away to nothing and she had been feeling the pinch.
- [Without Foresight](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/without-foresight/) - Reg looked with dismay at the broken eggshells and dried egg white and yolk that covered her door and doorstep. Who would egg her cottage? Teenagers? Someone who didn’t like a psychic reading she had given them? Maybe it was a mistake, meant for one of her neighbors rather than her. It wasn’t like she was involved in urban warfare with someone in the neighborhood; she couldn’t imagine why she had been singled out for the honor.
- [Doctored Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/doctored-death/) - Will awoke in a dark room. He couldn’t remember where he was. He wasn’t sure what had woken him up, but something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong. He sat up and looked around, straining his eyes in the darkness. His breathing was irregular and he had a difficult time swallowing. Was he sick? He must be sick. It looked something like a hospital room.
- [Dosed to Death](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/dosed-to-death/) - How’s it going?” Kenzie asked Zachary, poking her head into the bedroom to see whether he had finished packing. Zachary was sitting on the bed looking at his duffel bag. It didn’t look as if he had made much progress since the last time she had seen him. She cocked her head to the side. “Tired?” she asked sympathetically.
- [Gentle Angel](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/gentle-angel/) - It felt good to be back in the morgue. It might sound strange, but after their stressful vacation in a mountain resort, Kenzie and Zachary were both glad to be home and back into the usual daily routines—Zachary running his private investigations business and Kenzie returning to the Medical Examiner’s Office where none of the bodies she dealt with were people that she had known personally. Most people considered the work of a medical examiner to be gross and depressing, but Kenzie was fascinated with the work of uncovering what the deceased had died of and found it life-affirming rather than discouraging.
- [Henry, Breaking the Pattern](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/henry-breaking-the-pattern/) - Henry tried to enter the room quietly and remain inconspicuous. Sort of hard when the class was silent for a lecture and he arrived halfway through the period. The black- board was already full of notes students were copying into their binders. He scanned the room for an empty desk and hoped the one he chose was actually free and not just empty because someone had gone to the restroom or was sick that day. He slipped in as quietly as possible, praying that the teacher would just keep going. But Mrs. Phillips stopped mid-sentence, watching him.
- [Careful of Thy Wishes](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/careful-of-thy-wishes/) - Reg had been putting it off for too long. She had been spending more, knowing that she had the gems to fall back on, so, although she had been doing okay with her psychic services business, she had been spending more than she was making, which wasn’t a great way to keep her bank balance in the black.
- [Night of Nine Tails](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/night-of-nine-tails/) - Reg climbed out of bed, the dread from her nightmare still squeezing her heart so tightly it hurt. It had been a long time since she had felt that anxious without knowing what it was she had to fear. She was keenly attuned to the possible dangers in her life, always staying one step ahead of the authorities or anyone who might have figured out her latest scam, but the heart-squeezing dread was different. It wasn’t connected to any specific risk she could identify.
- [Unlawful Harvest](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/unlawful-harvest/) - MacKenzie reached for the ringing phone, trying to drag herself from sleep, but her hand encountered only the empty base of the phone, the wireless handset missing.
- [A Whisker's Breadth](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-whiskers-breadth/) - Reg opened the door and got her first glimpse of Vivian King, the woman who had called for a one o’clock appointment. Reg wasn’t sure where she had seen Reg advertise, or if she had come by a personal recommendation from another client. Vivian hadn’t revealed that on the phone.
- [Web of Nightmares](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/web-of-nightmares/) - Reg looked at the glossy new business cards with satisfaction. Reg Rawlins Psychic, Medium, Spiritual Advisor The cards were thick cardstock with a rich texture and brilliant swirls of color. Nothing like the flimsy black-on-white cards she had first printed when she arrived in Black Sands. Then she had been destitute, as she always was, on the edge of homelessness, with just a few items of value that she could pawn to survive for the first month or two after getting settled. She’d expected to have to pay first and last month’s rent and a damage deposit, and that took a good outlay of cash to start out with.
- [Fairy Blade Unmade](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/fairy-blade-unmade/) - Reg looked around the cottage for some sign of the small black cat. Starlight, her own cat, a tuxedo with mismatched eyes and a star in the third-eye position on his forehead, gazed at her, radiating irritation and displeasure. Reg looked down at the bowl Nico had knocked to the floor, scattering popcorn everywhere.
- [The Telepathy of Gardens](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/telepathy-of-gardens/) - The kittens really were the cutest visitors Reg had ever had in the cottage. Nine pure-black little cats, they were almost impossible to tell apart. Yet they were each starting to show distinct personalities so that Reg could, in fact, tell one from the other. It was hard to believe that only days before, they had been draugrs, undead creatures raised by the Witch Doctor to do his bidding. Now, no one would guess that they had started their existence as zombies.
- [June, Into the Light](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/june-into-the-light/) - June focused on trying to keep her gun hand from shaking, supporting it with her other hand. She stared at the clerk of the convenience store, doing her best to exude confidence and danger, to show him that he needed to do what she said if he didn’t want to get shot. Gone were the days when she could lift cash or keys from right under the owner’s nose. The man looked frightened. He was there by himself; he was always by himself that time of day, she had been in the neighborhood long enough to know that.
- [Gem Himself Alone](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/gem-himself-alone/) - Gem had a special gift. He knew from the time that he was little that he wasn’t the same as everyone else. It had to be kept secret. But it made him different, able to do things that no one else could. When he looked at the other people around him, he saw their limitations. How they were bound by rules he didn’t have to follow. But he was special.
- [A Catastrophic Theft](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-catastrophic-theft/) - eg had been trying to sleep through a cacophony of bird calls in the garden outside her window, sheet pulled tightly over her head. Unfortunately, the sheet did not provide a sufficient barrier to block out their noise. All hope of sleep fled when Starlight decided it was breakfast time. He jumped down from the window where he’d been perched watching the avian activity and onto Reg’s bed, yowling impatiently to tell her how hungry he was.
- [A Psychic with Catitude](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/a-psychic-with-catitude/) - How are you doing?” the dark, handsome warlock asked in a husky voice, touching the spot on Reg’s hand where Hawthorne-Rose had cut her, sending goosebumps all the way up her arms and down her back.
- [What the Cat Knew](https://pdworkman.com/portfolio/what-the-cat-knew/) - Reg Rawlins climbed out of the car and stretched, her muscles cramped after being in the car all day. According to the dashboard readout, it was a few degrees warmer than it had been in Tennessee. Added to that, it was humid and the air felt muggy. She could smell the ocean. She’d heard that all points in Florida were within sixty miles of the ocean as the crow flies. She was looking forward to spending some time swimming and looking for seashells. She’d always wanted to live near a real beach. A warm, sandy beach.

## Authors

- [P.D. Workman](https://pdworkman.com/books/authors/p-d-workman/) -  Award-winning Canadian author P.D. Workman has written over a hundred addictive page-turners featuring diverse and divergent sleuths, high-stakes investigations, and stories that linger long after the last page. Her books dive deep into characters’ minds while exploring timely social issues through fast-paced, emotionally charged plots. Readers praise her work for its powerful emotional truth combined with unputdownable suspense. Shunning sleep, when Workman is not writing, formatting, or marketing, she’s probably running, reading, or spending time with her family. P. D. Workman does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.—Kim, Goodreads reviewer

An Accessibility Pack contains: An eBook copy (epub format) that can be read on your device (phone, Kindle, computer, etc.) A pdf copy in OpenDyslexia font with other accessibility features An autonarrated (text to speech) audiobook in mp3 format Accessibility Features of eBook (varies by device): Choose your typeface Change the font size Set your line spacing Light, dark, or sepia themes Accessibility Features of PDF OpenDyslexia font is designed to be more readable for those with dyslexia Rag right—not fully justified—to eliminate gaps between words Paragraphs not indented, separated by extra space No hyphenation Auto-narrated Audiobooks Audiobooks allow readers to listen to a book rather than or simultaneously with reading the eBook or PDF file. They are also helpful if you are someone who needs to move around while learning. Standard audiobooks are expensive to produce. There is nothing like a voice actor narrating a book. He can add nuance and humour and many other benefits to the audiobook. I still want to produce more narrated audiobooks. However, in order to bring more of my catalog to you in audio form, I have used text-to-speech, computer-narration technology. This allows me to reach more readers who need assistance with reading. While autonarration is improving, these audiobooks do sound robotic and do not contain the nuance of human voice narration. Some readers will find this too distracting, but for others, it is just the tool they need in their toolbox.
