I don't participate in book tours, and I don't normally review books on this blog. I have so many author friends it would be impossible to promote every title, and even more impossible to choose between them.
But this is a different situation.
Author Sara Mills recently lost her husband Keith to a massive heart attack. He was only forty years old. His passing leaves Sara as a widow and single mother of three, with more grief in her life than anyone should have to face alone.
To help support her, people in the writing community have banded together to promote her latest books. If you'd like to be part of the team rallying to her support, and get some new books to curl up with in the process, please buy her stories!
In 1947 Allie Fortune is the only female private investigator in New York City, but she's kept awake at night by a mystery of her own: her fiance disappeared in the war and no one knows if he's still alive. Until Allie finds out, she will have no peace. When there's a knock on her office door at four in the morning, Allie suspects trouble as usual, and Mary Gordon is no exception. Mary claims someone is following her, that her apartment has been ransacked, and that she's been shot at, but she has no idea why any of this is happening. Allie takes the case, and in the process discovers an international mystery that puts her own life in danger.
Meanwhile, the FBI is working the case as well, and she is partnered up with an attractive, single agent who would be perfect for her under other circumstances-if only she knew whether her fiance was still alive.
FBI agent Jack O'Connor receives a letter from Maggie, a woman he used to love, saying she's in trouble in Berlin. The FBI refuses to get involved, so Jack asks Allie Fortune to help him investigate. Allie and Jack pose as a missionary couple who want to bring orphans back to the United States.
A child finds important documents that everyone in the city - Soviets and allies alike - want for themselves. Maggie refuses to tell Jack what the documents are, saying if things go wrong, they are better off not knowing. Through the course of the search, Allie's past is brought back to her, half a world away from home.
I hope you'll buy these books and encourage your friends to do the same. Buying her book might seem like an insignificant way to say "I'm sorry for your loss", but it's something, and sometimes it's the little things that matter most.
