Gum In Her Hair: A Tom Lingquist Mystery

He's back! Tom Lingquist - part-time movie theater employee, full-time Private Investigator, with a new mystery, currently available in paperback and ebook format, with the hardcover volume coming soon. It's currently available anywhere books are sold online, like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. If you prefer to check it out from your local library, you may, but if they don't have it in stock or on order, you'll simply have to request it - most public libraries like carrying books they know people want to read, unless it's a book not offered by the distributor; all of my books are available for them to order via Ingram, Hoopla and Overdrive.

So, what's it about?

What's not in the description that I left for the readers to discover is that I devote some time to unveil elements of Tom's personal life. Characters introduced in the first book, Baroness Sells Books, - Alex, Mike, Grimmer, Bailey, Vanessa, L.T. - return in this one. You'll also be introduced to new characters, like Grace, Pia, Tara, Lisa,  Vivian, Tony, Christine and Elizabeth. Characters who played key roles in Baroness Sells Books - Melody, Esther, Rob - get mentioned in a coda of sorts. The events in this new book take place during the same year as the first one, roughly 8 months later, in time for Halloween, available to own on Summerween. 

Also available is a re-release of my Urban Fantasy novella, As She Wishes . Frequent visitors to the blog might recall this title, when it premiered as an ebook in 2014.

I've given it a new cover for its debut in paperback and hardcover. It is also available to purchase at Barnes and Noble online. Purchasing any of my books in hardcover or paperback at Barnes and Noble's website allows you the option of picking up your copy at any of their brick-and-mortar locations. And yes, if you prefer to check it out at your local library, it is available for them to put on order upon request, if they have not done so.

And now, here's an excerpt from Gum in Her Hair:
