The Sleuth Sisters Mystery Series Overview



A book about sisterhood had been floating around in my mind for years, not teen-aged sisters or ethnic sisters or friends who are like sisters, but older siblings who know each other's strengths and weaknesses well and have learned to work with the strengths and gripe about the weaknesses among themselves.
One version of such a story is dark and creepy. I ignored that one.
Another version is THE SLEUTH SISTERS SERIES: truthful, often funny, but highlighting what sisters know: We love each other all the time, even though there are times when one of us needs to be smacked up side the head.
The book struck a chord with readers, and I started receiving messages about The Next Book. Okay, I wrote a second adventure for Barb, Faye, and Retta. It, too, has been well-received. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful sister-ship!

Available in print, e-book, and audio.

Books Don't Just Sell Themselves--Who Knew?

  You wrote a book. Hooray! Now comes selling the book. Let's talk about that. If you go traditional, your publisher will do some of the work needed to sell your book. My (now former) publisher arranged reviews, announced the book’s release to libraries, and featured it on their website. I learned I was expected to help get the word out, which surprised me. I thought books sold themselves. It takes effort to get a book noticed, and whether you publish independently, traditionally, or somewhere in the middle, you're the one who cares most about your work. You can pay people to promote for you, but that’s expensive and often doesn’t result in the sales authors hope for. You can promote for yourself, choosing how much time and effort you want to put into it. Here are a few ways that can happen. Book tours : Authors do tours so they can talk about their books to audiences. These can be virtual or physical. The author sets up dates and places where readers go to hear about t...

  Book #3 Have Cats -- Will Crime-Solve releases October 1, 2024. Here's the universal link to buy it from your favorite book site in paperback or e-book. The audio book is in progress. I'll keep you posted.      https://books2read.com/u/md2D5R Or you can ask for it at a book store.  Or you can ask your local librarian to get it for you. The Cats & Crimes books are fun to write for several reasons. First, Lorilee is my age, so we share some views on life. She spent her working years in public service with family services; I was a public school teacher. Like me, she's of the opinion that people can be irritating when they refuse to educate themselves, think things through, and consider the feelings of others. Second, I get to write about cats, which is always a plus for me. I love pulling stories of cats I've known into the books, and I also talk to cat lovers everywhere to get more anecdotes. Lorilee takes in strays and adopts cats with issues that make the...
