YvonneThe victim’s handbag lay on the passenger seat. Frankie opened a wallet inside the bag and found a driver’s license for one Gwendolyn Brookhaven. The name rang a bell, but she couldn’t place it.
“Did Gwendolyn have any enemies?” Mr Brookhaven’s lips curled down into a noticeable grimace. “Sometimes, I think the whole world hated her.” “What did she do?” “She’s the top literary agent on the west coast. She rejects hundreds of writers a week, and some of them get very upset about it.”

I like the teasers you’ve chosen to feature here. I can just imagine how unpopular Gwendolyn might be in some circles!
I’m between books at the moment, so I won’t share a teaser this time. My next book is long, though, so I might still be reading it if you join in with this meme next week!
Hi Kelly,
There were quite a few good teaser lines within the same Kindle percentage bracket, none of which have Gwendolyne portrayed in a very positive way! This case doesn’t appear to have anything in common with the rest of the storyline just yet, so I’m waiting for the connection to be made! … Great story so far though 🙂
I’m looking forward to discovering what your latest tome is called, although after your last marathon reading session, you are entitled to a short break 🙂
Sounds interesting, especially since it seems there are countless suspects. I’m not sure I’d enjoy the paranormal aspects of the story. I’m curious anyhow.
My Tuesday post features GIRL IN HYACINTH BLUE.
Hi Sandra,
I don’t generally read anything to do with the paranormal and probably still wouldn’t commit to a book with the paranormal as its central theme.
However, I have to say, that the mix of the paranormal with the traditional core murder/ mystery format, really does work well for this series and I am only too pleased that I took a punt on author Stan Schatt, when he contacted me.
Multiple crimes and even more suspects, have me turning the virtual pages as fast as I can 🙂
Something tells me that nothing good happened to her!
My teaser is from The Copper Promise by Jen Williams
Let’s just say that the situation is fatal and I would have thought, rather messy!
I am really enjoying this book so far.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by, I apppreciate your comment 🙂
Great teaser! I’m sure lots of authors out there can identify with the sentiments. Here’s my intro and teaser: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-19D
Hi Lorraine,
I think that if all literary agents were quite as nasty and given to derisory comments towards authors as Gwendolyn is, then there might be a few more of them meeting ‘unfortunate’ ends!
I’m not sure if Gwendolyn’s demise is linked to the main storyline, however there are several cases all being pursued simultaneously, which keeps the action moving along at quite a pace.
Thanks for taking the time to visit this week, I always appreciate your comments 🙂
It sounds like Gwendolyn is in trouble. I wonder if a rejected author is behind it all. Enjoy it!
Hi Naida,
Definitely and possibly, are the answers to your questions 🙂
As you know, I am not normally a huge fan of anything with a paranormal slant to it, however, this series is shaping up very nicely, with just the right combination of genres to keep it interesting and serious enough for a committed crime fan, like myself 🙂
Thanks for visiting this week and I hope that all is well with you 🙂
