  Published Author

  After several years of hard work and procrastination I have finally finished my novel. It is titled 'Murder On The Underground Express' with a sub title of 'Son Of A Son Of The Thin Man'. It is a murder mystery/fantasy that takes place mostly in Detroit. The venues are real, the story line is fiction. I have attached a low resolution jpeg file of the front and back cover to wet your appetites for the written word contained inside. Yum! You should be able to judge this book by its cover.At this time the book is available on the Penguin-Random House - AuthorHouse web site. It has been picked up by e-sellers and other book stores as well. The book is available through the AuthorHouse bookstore website at http://www.authorhouse.com or you can use the Book Order Hotline, at 1-888-280-7715 as well. I won't be upset if I don't see it in your library if I happen to visit your home, however it would be nice of you to spread the word on your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other networking sites. So all of you Facebook fans, please ask someone to like me! I would like to sell enough copies to at least pay for my cost of publishing not to mention the numerous trips to Detroit to do research. If you know a book store manager or librarian who would like a meet the author book signing please contact me directlyI am currently working on a second murder mystery novel which will continue where this book left off. It starts in Detroit and meanders throughout the Great Lakes and then back to Detroit. Show less
