As you do your holiday shopping, consider supporting authors and booksellers by buying books for gifts. You can find something for everyone’s taste. Even your friends who don’t own an e-reader device can download free apps to their cell phones or tablets. So you can still gift them an ebook. If you have an indie bookstore in your area, stop by and make a purchase. We need to show our support for these stores that still exist. And now for the commercial. Here are some of my titles for you to consider:
For Your Hairdresser, Nail Tech, Beautician and/or Readers Who Love Mysteries
Give them a Bad Hair Day Mystery. The adventures of hairstylist and salon owner Marla Shore will thrill them with murder, mayhem, humor and romance. If you want a brand new hardcover, start them off with the latest title, HANGING BY A HAIR.
If you want a brand new paperback, order SHEAR MURDER from HQ Worldwide Mystery Library.
Most of the Bad Hair Day Mysteries are available in digital copies. Look for them here:
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
iBooks
Kobo
For the Armchair Traveler, History Buff, True-Life Memoirs or Adventure Travel Fan
Try my father’s 1929 cross-country hitchhiking adventure, THUMBS UP.
For the Writer
Whatever genre they write, they can use a copy of WRITING THE COZY MYSTERY. This instructional guidebook will take them step-by-step through the process of writing a winning whodunit.
For the Romance Fan
For friends who like a hot, sexy read, give them a book from my Drift Lords series. These romantic adventure tales will sweep them away to a modern world mixed with myth and magic. WARRIOR PRINCE, WARRIOR ROGUE and WARRIOR LORD are available in print and digital formats.

HAPPY SHOPPING!
books as christmas gifts? it’s a natural. i’ve been giving, and receiving books as gifts for my many, now senior, years. one of the best ways to connect on a person, i-kinow-what-your-interests-are level. and make sure you inscribe them, that way they can’t be returned. another reason your gift of books will be remembered!
Good tip on the inscription bit, thanks for sharing!
