Romantic Mystery Now Available as an Audiobook
by BWW News Desk - September 23, 2015
Most mysteries are a 'who-done-it' mystery, but this series is totally different. Amelia Moore specializes in missing persons. The difference between cozies and other mysteries is that a cozy is always G-rated and the main character is always a woman. A cozy will usually take place in a small town, but with Amelia, her cases have taken her to some very interesting places. With the help of Rick Bonito, she always solves the case. This series is not only an e-book and hard copy, but it is now on audio. Audiobooks can bring everything to life as you listen to the many voices of the narrator. You hear the apprehension, suspense, humor, and flirtations in the person's voice as you sit and listen to the story. It's entertainment at its best. Red Mountain Shadows Publishing presents The Bali Mystery: Amelia Moore Detective Series by Author Linda Weaver Clarke. With narrator, Diane Lehman, you feel part of the adventure as she narrates the character's moods and conversations. Diane T. Lehman is a professional musician and vocal coach. The inflections of her voice and accents of each character are remarkable. She tends to captivate the listener with each character she portrays. 'The narrator, Diane Lehman, does an impressive job including different voices for the different characters. This gave the book a lot of interest for the reader as well as helping to identify who was speaking at the time.' Sonja Nishimoto, Sunnie Reviews In each book of this series, there are missing persons, bucket lists, romance, and mystery. Melanie Valderrama of Mel's Shelves wrote: 'I loved the pacing. I never lost interest in the story. I also loved the descriptions of the places they visited. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat. I wanted to know how the mystery would wrap up and I wanted more of Rick and Amelia's relationship. It flowed so well that I wanted to keep listening. This was an enjoyable performance to listen to and I highly recommend this book and series!' One reviewer compared this book to an oyster shells and pearls. 'In an Oyster Shell - It was an intriguing mystery with a strong male love interest. A fun read. The Pearls - I thought as far as mysteries go this one was more well done than most. It had a bit more grit than cozy mysteries tend to have. I loved the concept of a female private investigator. I liked that the mystery was not about murder. It was really interesting and the mystery played out in a good pace.' - Jessica Samuelsen, Writing Pearls Reviews This book is available on audio at Audible.com, Amazon.com, and iTunes.

Gerald W. McFarland Promotes New Historical Adventure Buenaventura Book Series
by BWW News Desk - September 21, 2015
This second volume in the Buenaventura Series and sequel to 'The Brujo's Way' (ISBN: 978-0865349445) opens in December 1705 with a terrifying nightmare that fills Don Carlos Buenaventura, a powerful brujo in his sixth life, with dread. Feeling the need to strengthen his brujo powers, always weakened by town life, he rides out into the wild mountain landscapes around Santa Fe in order to practice his sorcerer's technique of transforming himself into hawks and owls. Transformations are exhilarating, but they do not dispel his sense of an impending menace. In addition, as he tells his friend Inez de Recalde, he is impatient to move forward in his quest for wisdom on what he calls the Unknown Way. Into this picture comes a trio of itinerant entertainers, a magician and two women dancers, who offer an ambiguous promise. Can they lead him to deeper realms of consciousness, or are they agents of his enemy, the evil sorcerer Don Malvolio? The magician and his alluring companions introduce Carlos to dances that transport him into ecstatic mind states, but he remains uncertain about what master they serve. Despite the risk of exposing his secret brujo identity and of being disloyal to his beloved Inez, Carlos allows himself to be drawn ever farther into their web of dark and dangerous enchantments.

Michael Gray Promotes FALLING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
by BWW News Desk - September 21, 2015
Michael's novel draws directly on his experience working with the disabled (For more than five years he's also been President and sometimes ED of Pathways Academy, a school for kids with Autism and other learning issues). Falling tells the story of people who have been shelved in nursing home warehouses, or have otherwise lost their livelihood and value to society, and the narrative arc explores how the human dimension continues to shine in these human beings. In his own life Michael has discovered that people who are in the process of losing their identities, occupations, and old friends are able to help him recognize a deeper truth about the human predicaments they share. This is a human truth which he also finds celebrated in Eastern spiritual teachings. Encountering the core of humanity in people whose familiar lives have dissolved, he seeks to learn their secret while he still has time on my side. About the Book: Larry works in an Albuquerque nursing home and like many of its residents he is not thrilled to be at this last-stop warehouse for old folks. Trained as a counselor, he hardly notices the human spirit flowing around him until he meets Bill Foster. Bill, a successful clinical psychologist, is lying comatose after a left hemisphere stroke, as Philip Cook, one of his oldest patients, leans over the hospital bed listening intently to his inarticulate attempts to speak. Through Philip's uncanny understanding of Bill's incoherent mutterings, an unlikely collaboration begins, linking the unconfident Larry with the experienced but speech-damaged Dr. Bill. That summer, with Larry's wife and son out of town, Bill's counseling practice helps renew Larry confidence as a therapist andat the nursing home-he starts to see residents, families, and fellow staff as fellow human beings. But old traumas (the drowning death of his brother and his misplaced blame of his father) run deep: each step seems to open the door for further falls from grace. This is a novel about disability and the human depth that is left behind after the loss of physical and cognitive faculties. It is also a book about the power of forgiveness. Falling on the Bright Side is available in both print and ebook formats. Book Details: Falling on the Bright Side By Michael Gray Publisher: ABQ Press ISBN: 978-0991604630 ASIN: B00U6JZFZ0 Pages: 325 Genre: Fiction (mainstream) About The Author: Before coming to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he now reside with his wife and two sons, Michael Gray lived in Montreal, Canada and published short stories and poetry in the Antigonish and Wascana Reviews. He traveled in Europe for six months and South America for three months, but it was while working on farms, ranches, and an open-pit copper mine in Canada that he heard a door into the future creak open. Michael's memoir, The Flying Caterpillar (ABQ Press, 2012), as well as being a travel log of his life to-date, gives an account of his two decades with Friends in Time and explores the teachings and encounters which have proved to be valuable for a lifetime. In 2012, he also published Asleep at the Wheel of Time (ABQ Press), a SF novel about Whales, Aliens and humans. Both these books express his concern about the state of planet Earth in light of our accumulating indifference to the plight of our only home.
