In my quest to write my way around the genre, I have co-written a cozy mystery novella, THE LAST PAGE, which is set in a library. David J Walker, a fine Chicago author, was my partner in crime. Librarians, take note: We kill the library director.
I entered the story into the Amazon Select program which means if you are a Prime member, you can get it free. If you’re not, fear not. It will go free on Amazon for everyone December 25 through December 27.

“A funny, smart mystery that respects life in the library… a can’t miss read…”Amy Alessio, Librarian and Author
Barbara Adams, head of the Windbrook Library in suburban Chicago, has died, apparently from a fall down the stairs of the library’s basement. But when Julia Fairbanks, her closest friend’s daughter starts to poke around, she finds troubling emails that indicate Barbara was not the victim of a heart attack, but a vicious killer instead. Can Julia find the murderer? Or will she end up on The Last Page? This breezy mystery is a novella, approx. 20,000 words. It also includes two short stories by the authors, both from the acclaimed crime fiction anthology, CHICAGO BLUES.
