I'm excited about the upcoming release of my first mystery. Sweet Man Is Gone is a funny, funky look at the inner workings of a blues band. It features sexy blonde bandleader-sleuth Maxx Maxwell (real name: Elizabeth). It's due from Five Star in July and is available for preorder now from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I just got a nice review from Kirkus, which said, among other things, "Maxx's debut has a real feel for the bar-music scene and a gutsy, believable sleuth." Click here to read the whole review. And check out "Advance Praise" for some of the other nice comments people have been making about the book and my sleuth.
And click here for "My Life As a Rock Star." It describes how a mild-mannered English professor (me) bought an electric guitar - a red Stratocaster - in mid-life, signed up for guitar lessons, and formed the band that inspired Sweet Man Is Gone.
