Dead in the Water is on SALE

Just in time for summer at the beach (or in your own backyard), I have reduced the e-book price of my best-selling thriller, Dead in the Water, to $.99. (Kindle best seller 3/17). For the price of your daily newspaper, you can read a 250 page legal mystery. You will follow retired LAPD homicide detective, Lieutenant Mario Morales, as he investigates the case of a bride who disappeared on her honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean. What Morales discovers about Chinese drug-smuggling will  knock your socks off!
BookBub.com has called Dead in the. Water “A heart-pounding read!”
The esteemed Kirkus Review has said Dead in the Water has “[A]n.exquisite atmosphere.” Buy.here:https://www.amazon.com/Water-Lieutenant-Morales-Legal-Mystery-ebook/dp/B00U35Z7CS/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1560628839&sr=8-2

If you like Dead in the Water, you’re sure to love A Reservation for Murder, the second book in the Lieutenant Morales mystery series. One reviewer has said of the book, “All reader expectations are met or exceeded.” Kirkus Reviews. It also is priced at only $.99.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IYGQNWK

Bottom line, you can have a whole summer’s worth of thrilling reading for just $1.98. For $4.99 you can also buy the e-book format of my latest thriller, The China Connection. For those of you who like the feel of a book in your hands the  paperback edition is just $8.49.

5 Things to Consider when Picking a Cruise

Interested in a cruise this fall or winter?  Lots of people will be cruising to Alaska, the Carribean and even the rivers of Europe.  So, what should you look for in a cruise.  Here are some thoughts based on a  number of cruises we have taken on several different cruise lines:

1. Get the best price by waiting. Cruise lines are always looking to fill up their ships. If you have the freedom to wait to the last minute to book your cruise, you will probably save the most money. On one of our cruises, a Canadian couple paid $98 per person for a three day Caribbean cruise which they booked at the last minute.

2. Look for open seating for your meals.  While it can be interesting to sit with the same people every day of the cruise, why not sit with different people instead. It will make the cruise more enjoyable (particularly if the people you are stuck with are boring or bores).

3. Try to book a stateroom midship. You want to be close to the stairs and elevators (of course, not right next to them) because you will be moving from deck to deck all day and you will avoid unnecessary walking.

4. Stake out your chair at the pool early in the day. Most deck chairs fill up fast, so get there early.

5. Consider booking your own excursions. The ship excursions are usually fairly pricey. You may be surprised how much you can save if you do an internet search on your destination and find a guide who will basically do the same thing as the ship's provider. We did this on a cruise to Ephesus in Turkey and we had a terrific guide, who showed us much more than we would have seen with the ship's guide.  Shop around!

I hope these tips are helpful.  Let me know what you think. Bon Voyage!
