Lieutenant Morales is on SALE

Just in time for Christmas, I have reduced the price of the three ebooks in the Lieutenant Morales mystery series. For just $0.99 each you can follow the adventures of Morales in "Dead in the Water" (a BookBub featured deal), "A Reservation for Murder," and my latest political thriller, "The China Connection."
Think about it: for just $2.97 you can own the entire trilogy! That's less than the cost of a Starbucks latte!
Just go to the following link for many hours of enjoyment:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07921Q369/ref=series_rw_dp_sw

The China Connection is Here!

Just in time for Christmas, The China Connection, the third thriller to in the Lieutenant Morales Mystery series was published and is available on Amazon in e-book for Kindle and paperback.

When Lieutenant Morales is accused of trying to murder his wife, the exotic Sun Li, Morales will go to any length to find the real attacker. His search takes him from South Florida to Shanghai. While in China, he unearths a a conspiracy involving an American senator with presidential ambitions at its center.

The China Connection is a political thriller torn from today's breaking news headlines about collusion that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

This is fiction, right?  Or is it?

Consumer Reports Magazine Supports "Haggling" for Gifts

The Christmas buying season is upon us, even though we have yet to celebrate Thanksgiving.  It happens every year and sales seem to begin earlier and earlier. Christmas in July may not just be a joke soon.

So, if you are beginning to search around for gifts for your family and friends, here is a tip you might want to consider.

Many people will be buying electronics gifts this year: HD and 3D televisions, Smartphones, cameras and just about anything else you can plug into the wall or load up with batteries. Most people will be going to Big Box stores or small specialty shops. Whichever you shop, keep in mind that the price listed on the product is not the price you must pay.  Haggling over the price or the warranty or some other aspect of the purchase is not only good practice, to do anything else is just plain unwise unless you enjoy paying full price (and nobody I know likes that).

I have written several times in this blog about how you can save money by negotiating for the best price. :http://notjustforboomers.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-save-money-by-negotiating.html;http://notjustforboomers.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-baby-boomers-practical-guide-to_11.html;http://notjustforboomers.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-baby-boomers-practical-guide-to_11.html. I have even written a book on the subject which is available on Amazon entilted,"How to Get the Best Deal Every Time," which is available as an e-book.http://www.amazon.com/How-Best-Deal-Every-Time-ebook/dp/B00BRPVH4U/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1384817264&sr=1-1&keywords=tony+basinski

In its annual gift issue,  Consumer Reports, www.consumerreports.org, suggests that "haggling" for the purchase of appliances and electronics gifts is a sure way to save money. Consumer Reports, December 2013. We couldn't agree more. And Consumer Reports provides the best information on which brand to buy and where best to buy the products you are shopping for this season.
