Dames Speak Out

I did a post on Dames of Dialogue about my bout with menopause and how I drew from that experience to write parts of Slightly Cracked, my first women's fiction. Quite a few ladies and one gentelman commented, some of them hilarious. I've provided a link to the post in case you're interested.

Thanks to Maggie Bishop, whom I met at the High Country Book Festival. See? You never know when opportunity will knock.

Aaron Paul Lazar on tour: For Keeps

Aaron Paul Lazar writes to soothe his soul. An award-winning, bestselling Kindle author of three addictive mystery series, Aaron enjoys the Genesee Valley countryside in upstate New York, where his characters embrace life, play with their dogs and grandkids, grow sumptuous gardens, and chase bad guys. Even though I’ve never met Aaron in person, I feel pulled to him not only through his wonderful writing but his kind online nature. Not to mention those eyes, that smile. LOL. It is my pleasure to have Aaron stop by for a visit on his book tour. I truly hope that you’ll read more about him and read some of his works. Visit his website at http://www.lazarbooks.com and watch for his upcoming Twilight Times Books releases in the near future.

FOR KEEPS Synopsis:

When retired family doctor Sam Moore’s old girlfriend is murdered in a local hotel, the police suspect his involvement. The coroner, a former med school colleague whose husband is about to desert her, reveals that she had a crush on Sam in med school. When she is strangled the next day in her own morgue, Sam is once again in the hot seat.

Sam’s world falls apart when he returns home to find a family member killed in the laundry room, stabbed with his own garden shears. Rocketed into a world of denial and temporary insanity, Sam faces his worst fear, and is locked up in the very same psych ward he was in when his brother Bill died fifty years ago. Sam is determined to ask his long dead brother to help him. Billy, who communicates through a little green marble, has the ability to propel Sam through time and has helped Sam unwrap baffling mysteries in the past.

Sam’s plan: to change time, and bring his loved one back to life.

Reviews:

"Aaron Paul Lazar's deft paranormal mystery starts off quietly and builds to a powerful finish. More than a thriller, FOR KEEPS is a heartfelt story of love and devotion, family ties and emotional crisis, loss and redemption. A winner!" -Michael Prescott, USA Today bestselling author of Final Sins

"Lazar does it again with Sam Moore's explosive return in FOR KEEPS, a story of sordid pasts, buried secrets, and ultimately, true love. This tale will break your heart—and then tenderly stitch it back together—all while you're biting your nails to the quick. Every book in the Moore Mysteries series just keeps getting better!”-Sonya Bateman, author of Master of None & Master and Apprentice

“The author’s gentle prose brings the scents of a summer garden to life, together with rippling shade of forest and cool clear waters of lake. Characters are vividly real and welcoming too, with pitch-perfect dialog around the dinner table, a wonderful grandfather dealing with a two-year-old’s tantrum, and the awkward embarrassment of past secrets becoming public knowledge.”-Sheila Deeth, author of FLOWER CHILD

"I was truly mesmerized by this book, and I can honestly say that I have never been so blown away by the ending of a novel. I actually felt a painful wrench when I turned the last page of the book as if I was being physically torn away from the Moore family."-CindyTaylor, Allbooks Reviews
