Richard Houston Announces New Release

Author Richard Houston is pleased to announce the release of his new mystery novel: A View to Die For.

Outsourced software engineer Jacob Martin is trying to make the best of a divorce and mid-life crisis when he gets a call at two o’clock Sunday morning from his mother. His sister has been arrested for murder, and his father is near death. Thus begins an adventure that takes Jake and his golden retriever from their Colorado retreat to a backwater town in the Missouri Ozarks where he gets on the wrong side of a sheriff deputy. Then, just as Jake is ready to go back home, his sister drops a bombshell with a story only Louis L’Amour could write.

A View to Die For was released on October 8, 2012 and is available through Amazon.com and Amazon UK. 

Carolyn Steele Announces New Release

Author Carolyn Steele is pleased to announce the release of her new travelogue: Trucking in English.

Almost Ice Road Truckers, except for the tulip bulbs…this is the tale of what happens when a middle-aged mum from England decides to actually drive 18-wheelers across North America instead of just dreaming about it. From early training (when it becomes apparent that negotiating 18 wheels and 13 gears involves slightly more than just learning how to climb in) this rookie overcomes self-doubt, infuriating companions and inconsiderate weather to become a real trucker. Nothing goes well, but that’s why there’s a book.

Trucking in English was released on November 18, 2012 and is available through Amazon.com, Amazon UK, and Smashwords.

As with all his books, history, geography, and more become inviting and fun – because of the charismatic traveling terrier!
