Death is the New Black. Dominic Piper.

"PI Daniel Beckett is almost equally addicted to sex and violence, and there's plenty of both in this smart, savvy, streetwise thriller."

Promotional image for the historical romance novel Brotherly Love by Lorna Peel. The background shows an image of an old Irish village scene with a green tint. On the right side, the book cover features a village street lined with thatched cottages and trees under a cloudy sky. The title Brotherly Love and author Lorna Peel are prominently displayed on the cover. Text on the left reads: "OUT NOW KINDLE | PAPERBACK | KINDLE UNLIMITED Ireland, 1835. Caitriona Brady is a widow who carries a torch for Michael Warner, the local priest’s brother. When they declare their love, the villagers disapprove because Caitriona’s husband was the champion fighter of the Bradys who regularly battle the Donnellans. Caitriona and Michael declare their neutrality but nobody listens. Can their love survive when it is opposed on all sides?"

I think most who write would agree... it is not about the money but about the enjoyment a reader finds in your words... my thanks to Patricia Furstenberg for expressing her thoughts in such a lovely way.

Patricia Furstenberg's review of What's in a Name? Volume 2
5/5: “What's in a Name?” by Sally Cronin looks at anything from nostalgic palace windows to the neon light of a supermarket checkout. The stories transport readers to brief but powerful scenes of love...

ALL THAT WAS TAKEN 🌊 🌖 🐕

"A psychological drama that is also a romance, this book is intense, emotional and full of #suspense. The plot is complex with a slow-release development of nail-biting drama that gradually takes over the entire cast of characters."

Things about mainstream publishing I wish more people knew:

1) The NY Times Bestseller List is a marketing list, not an accurate list of the best-selling books for that period.

“As a writer, I may not want to see my text refracted in this way. But the power of refraction won’t be mine to control; it will lay with readers and their A.I.s. Together, they will collapse the space between reading and editing.”

A cranky neighbor is killed in the family barn. Melanie’s brother is deemed a suspect. “Good plot, great description, realistic characters…& pacing that keeps it all together." Watch out for the big boom!

A new book of #poetry is available and if you like my #haikus on Bluesky then you should enjoy DAY BREAKS that also includes longer #poems. And though not expected, it would be deeply appreciated if you could help spread the word. 🙏✌️
