NEW BOOKSIGNING COMING SOON

WHAT FUN! I will be signing books with my friend Brian Rouff at a gem of a restaurant located in the Southern Highlands section of Las Vegas. If you can, stop by, have some great food and chat about our books.

I was one of the early reviewers of Brian's The House Always Wins, a very cool book. Brian has known me pretty much since the first Silver Sisters book was published, so it will be nice to share this signing with an old friend.

Terror in a Teapot, the second Silver Sisters Mystery, takes place largely in Juneau, Alaska. That's right. My real sister and co-author, Phyllice Bradner, lived in Alaska for nearly 30 years, so many of the locations and characters are based upon her time in Juneau.

However, the Dumkovsky Brothers--bumbling bad guys from Vladivostok, are pure inventions of our imagination as are the antique exporters Minsky and Pinsky.

Goldie Silver receives the wrong shipment of antique Russian teapots called samovars at her shop, Silver Spoon Antiques. Her suppliers, Minsky and Pinsky can't be reached to report the error, and these samovars are so exquisite they sell immediately. That is when the trouble begins as the dead bodies of people who bought them begin to pile up in quiet little Juneau. WHAT MAKES THEM WORTH KILLING FOR?

As fate has it (um, meaning the authors plotted), Godiva is visiting Goldie from her Beverly Hills estate. In their normal wacky way the sisters navigate through twists, turns and backfires that take them to Seattle and Los Angeles to solve the crime. Their 80 year old mother and uncle Flossie and Sterling Silver, former vaudeville magicians, are in on the action and almost wind up doing their last disappearing act. If you aren't in the area, or can't make it, check out these twin sleuths at http://bit.ly/SilverSisters.

INTERVIEWED FOR STREAMING TV PROGRAM "WHAT'S YOUR STORY?"

 Yesterday I had the pleasure of being interviewed by my long-time friend Judi Moreo for her streaming TV show What's Your Story?  I will post a link as soon as the episode is available. I was really looking forward to it because we had such a good time a few years ago when she was producing a different show. It didn't disappoint. The time went so fast, it seemed as though we had just begun when it was over.

Judi Moreo

Judi Moreo is the author of the award winning book, “You Are More Than Enough: Every Woman’s Guide to Purpose, Passion and Power” as well as its companion, Achievement Journal. She is a Certified Speaking Professional who has spoken in 28 countries around the world. Less than 10 percent of the speakers in the world hold this highly respected designation. In short, she is a pretty amazing person.

Thanks for the opportunity, Judi. 😊

Kathleen Bond has just become the narrator/producer for the fifth Silver Sisters audiobook. When it is complete, that means all five Silver Sisters adventures will be available in audiobook as well as Kindle, ePub and Paperback. Meanwhile, if you love fun, fast moving crime capers, check out the other four books

UPDATE ON BOOK SIGNINGS

 

It really feels good to be getting out there again. I have just agreed to participate in some panels (virtually) for the Genre LA Writers Conference August 5-7. It will be an in person and virtual conference. I wish I was going in person, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet. The days, times and topics are yet to be firmed up so watch for updates. Check out the conference. - http://www.wcwriters.com/aglawc/index.html

Our local author Stephen Murray is a master at promotion. He just invited me to participate in a multi-author signing event at the Tropicana Palms Senior Mobile Home Park here in Las Vegas on June 4 from 2-4 pm. It will be a little different, in that each of the 6 authors will give a ten minute talk about their books or themselves. I really like that format. Sounds like fun. Of course I will bring Silver Sisters books and my new memoir. This will be the first event of this type I will be participating in.

I also have several Coffee House Tours signings scheduled for this year. Check them out on the Appearances tab at www.morganstjames-author.com 

FIRST BOOK SIGNING IN TWO YEARS  

Beginning tomorrow, April 8, 2022 I am finally going to be back doing booksignings. Skimos is near the Galleria Shopping Center in Henderson NV, so if you are in the area, stop by and say hello to M.A.R. Unger and me.

Besides Scammed, one of the Revenge is Fun crime capers, I will have copies of Incest, Murder and a Miracle and No More Crying Angels and other books. 

This is Child Abuse Awareness Month, and these two memoirs are the story of victims who became victors and dedicate their lives to helping abuse victims. It was my honor to be chosen by Cheryl and Rob Cuccio and Bella Capo to help them tell their stories. We didn't sugar coat it, because abuse is not something that should be downplayed. 

Both of these brave woman have a message: #Don'tGiveUp and #YourPastDoesNotDefineYou. I am happy to discuss anything about these books. They are available in paperback, Kindle and ePub.

Now that I am out of "Shelter in Place jail" I will be doing several more appearances this year. Check out the Appearances page on my website, www.morganstjames-author.com. Thanks for following me. My blog posts will be much more active than they have been. 😀😀😀 

BACK IN THE GROOVE

Wow! It is amazing that the last post I made was right about the time COVID came into our lives like a fox in the hen house, destroying almost everything that we accepted as normal.

Fortunately, because I am a devout coward about things like that, I kept my social distancing, stopped going to public venues and, unfortunately, cancelled book signings and public appearances. Zoom helped, but it just wasn't the same. I got my vaccinations and booster as soon as I was eligible and definitely wore a mask and have been healthy throughout the past two years.

Imagine, here I am living in Las Vegas, the most incredible entertainment city, and a big event has been going to a doctor's appointment or a restaurant in my area where there are never more than a few people in the dining room. I discovered ordering groceries online and having them deliveered. It is so easy, I may never go back to the old way.

On the plus side, it finally gave me the time to work on my own memoir. Deciding upon the format was hard because I have had so many careers and experiences, and met so many interesting people  throughout my long life. I finally decided to do it as a series of short stories.

Right now, it is at the stage of waiting for a printed proof, and the target release date is late March or early April. It will be available in paperback, Kindle, ePub and Hardcover, and also available for preorder.
