"Excellent book, Fun, and well written, It stays moving constantly. You will find yourself feeling very close to the characters in this book, the logic of the actions and next steps the characters take are flawless. Then there are a number of very surprising twists, and characters who show up and seem to throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing. But when everything is finally finished, there is no loose ends left untied except the poor man who was so in love with her, just like I was." -- Tom Knust, Amazon reviewer
No one bats an eyelid when a bag lady washes up on the shores of Sydney, minus five fingers and decked out in designer couture; nor is anyone too perturbed when socialite Beatrice Musgrave plunges to her death soon after. No one, that is, except ghostwriter and Merlot-lover Roxy Parker. She’s been writing Beattie’s 'autobiography' and has just stumbled on a secret that’s worth killing for.
With slick black hair, tortoise-shell glasses and a penchant for cheap plonk, Roxy Parker is a sassy new female detective … except she’s not strictly a detective. Rather, she’s a writer with a taste for the morbid and mysterious—and this time her little sideline may get her in way over her head …
In the first book of the Ghostwriter Mystery series, Roxy is hired to ghostwrite the life story of department store heiress Beatrice Musgrave. Beatrice has promised Roxy a secret worth writing about, but before she gets the chance to tell all, the socialite is found ripped to shreds at the bottom of a cliff. The police say it's suicide but Roxy knows better—there are too many people looking way too relieved.
And so she embarks on an investigation of her own. From the posh suburbs of inner-city Sydney to remote outback Australia, Roxy finds herself lured into a web of deceit where time has healed no wounds and no one is who they appear to be. One thing, however, is crystal clear: chasing headlines can be a deadly occupation. Roxy must also act fast—there's a menacing stranger threatening her life, a handsome best friend growing increasingly impatient, and her mother is really starting to get on her nerves.
Killer Twist is a fun, fast-paced adventure for anyone who loves a good cozy mystery with a little wine swilling and fashionable accessories on the side.

The book is a collection of five stories that follow the "adventures in living" of an unusual little girl named Nell, her mother Rhonda, and Nell's father who is the narrator of the stories.
I loved these stories because they are a reminder of what's important in life: the bonds we have with our family and friends and the incredible magic of children.
Ingrid Ricks author of "Hippie Boy"
The stories are pleasant, funny, and delightful to read, but you quickly discover that they go much deeper than you anticipated when you first began reading them.

Velocity^2, by Lee Frey. (Still free?)Get this suspenseful technothriller, free today!
"...A fast-paced and scientifically explicit thrill...intriguing and original..." --Publishers Weekly
Ken's latest invention could save the world...or destroy it.
Ken Dahlin, a telecom engineer with an irrepressible mad-scientist alter ego "Crazy Ken", has developed a free energy device that harnesses the Earth's gravitational force. Only one problem--It's also a bomb.
The only hope for protecting his discovery is to demonstrate its destructive power to the one person with the power to protect it--President Anderson. The detonation a thirty kiloton nuclear blast in a remote section of Montana quickly begins the most secretively program ever undertaken. Through a series of terrorist attacks, brownouts and blackouts, President Anderson forces the government into socializing the electric production industry. But what the people don't know is that the electric plants are being replaced by Ken's free energy device.
Yet despite the secrecy, security and precautions, someone has stolen a device and is threatening to destroy the world. Ken, who has been in hiding since handing over the invention, is pulled back in to help. Dismissive of the claims at first, Ken soon realizes that size does not matter as much as location. With the clock ticking and with thousands of square miles to search, Ken has to find the hypothetical needle in a haystack--or in this case, a ping-pong sized bomb in a national park larger than some states.
