Do you want to be a character in my next book? I’ll even let you create your own name! Tell me the name of Olivia Robert’s best friend in “View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale”. Every correct response will be entered into a random drawing. There can only be ONE! Will it be you? You’ll be memorialized forever in the pages of a book. Heck, I’ll even throw in a FREE signed copy when the book is released. Contest ends August 31, 2016. This is also posted on Twitter and Facebook.
This romantic thriller takes a fictional “what if” look at the JFK assassination. Suppose accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had lived to defend himself. Imagine if 50 years after the assassination someone stepped forward to reveal the truth of what happened that day. What if the assassination was a conspiracy and the impact of those revelations reached into the 21st century? This is the story of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. You’ll never look at your neighbors the same way.
Excerpt
“Olivia, I don’t want you to think I was snooping. Last night when I looked through your luggage for your pajamas I… why do you have a gun?”
That was certainly not a question I’d anticipated and I had to laugh “Oh that! George bought that for us years ago. Normally I keep it in a gun safe. With all the strange things that have been happening I was afraid someone might break in and steal it so I stuck it in my suitcase. It’s perfectly legal.”
Bill looked concerned. “So you have a permit to carry?”
That puzzled me. I knew we had a license and I brought it with me. I explained that to Bill but he still looked worried. “To be honest I’m not really comfortable with having it around and I wish you had mentioned it before we left. If we were stopped by the authorities for any reason and they found it there might be questions.”
I was very confused by his attitude. “But I can show them the license and explain why I brought it. They would understand. I mean seriously Bill, what would two old people do with a handgun, rob a bank?” I started to laugh but Bill’s expression had not changed and he went back into the kitchen. I watched as he started to make a pot of coffee trying to understand why something as silly as having a gun in my luggage was causing such a big problem.

Shared your post on g+. I don’t think I myself have grown up enough to be in your novel, esp if you write me into a Norma from Riddle;)
Well, you could be a child or perhaps a beloved pet? Or how about a vampire or a werewolf? Actually my next book after the two already about to go will be about an older woman and a younger man and of course a murder! Feeling deadly? 😉
You crack me up!
I’ll share! You can leave me your of the book unless you need an older woman who ensnares young, handsome men in her web. Many sales!
Actually that is the premise for my next book. (I have two already written that are coming out at the end of the summer and early fall.) So jump in Mary. You might even get the heroine position!
