But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor

Here's the set-up:

Trust is always the first thing to go, and the hardest thing to find.

Abandoned in New Orleans and left with $50 and the clothes on her back, after six weeks, Pearl believes she’s found a way to reclaim her life.

She couldn’t have been more wrong.

Arrested and jailed in the Orleans Parish Women’s Correctional Center without any way to reach the outside world, Pearl retreats into her own frantic thoughts.  Slowly, the voices of her fellow prisoners reach past her fear.

No longer alone, Pearl begins to listen to their stories—stories that must be told. Through their tales Pearl finds her own voice, a source of strength and a way out.

From the reviewers:

"Excellent use of language makes this quite vivid and so easy to place oneself in the middle of what's happening. Poor Pearl being hauled out of the car into that teeming circus of sideshow freaks." --Zan McD

"The psychic tension you present gives the story both weight and momentum. [T]he characters come off as very believable and haunting."  --Christian Piatt, Pulling the Goalie

"Bloody hell. It's off like a rocket! I like the notion of P being dumped with but 50 slaps. I thought of George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and how middle class folk love to read about slumming it." --~R. J. Askew, Watching Swifts

"This is an epic piece, woven skilfully and laid out on a tapestry where setting and subject have been crafted wonderfully into an addictive read with colloquial and background descriptions. Well done!" --Andrew Williams, Dark Disciple



J. M. Cornwell is a frequent contributor to the Chicken Soup and Cup of Comfort anthologies.  Her novel, Past Imperfect, debuted July 2009. She writes about family foibles, relationships, writing, books and flights of fancy, and may be emailed at fixnwrtr@gmail.com.

Planet iPad Free Book Alert, Wednesday, May 25: 2 BRAND NEW FREEBIES! plus … Ash Rashid is being called 'A Muslim Dirty Harry' for his toughness as a cop, the occasional bourbon, and a zest for bacon and pancakes--but never cooked on the same grill--in The Abbey (Now just 99 cents! – Today’s Sponsor)

Are you tired of being tired? This morning’s latest addition to our 500+ Free Book Alert listings is a book that may put you to sleep, but this time you could be grateful for it….

But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
A Muslim Dirty Harry is on the hunt for his niece's killer.  This police procedural leads  Detective Ash Rashid to interview the victim's high school classmates and, of course, hints of vampire fascination appear in the characters.  Don't be misled by the vampire red herring or  by a single review--so far.  I'll  be adding stars once I finish reading a book that grabbed me and won't let go.  It's a full length novel of 88,000 words.--TD

The Abbey

Here's the set-up:

Ash Rashid is a former homicide detective who can't stand the thought of handling another death investigation. In another year, he'll be out of the department completely.

That's the plan, at least, until his niece's body is found in the guest home of one of his city's most wealthy citizens. The coroner calls it an overdose, but the case doesn't add up.

Against orders, Ash launches an investigation to find his niece's murderer.  But the longer he searches, the more entangled he becomes in a case that hits increasingly close to home. If he doesn't solve it fast, his niece won't be the only family member he has to bury.

From a reviewer:

Ash is a Muslim version Dirty Harry! Chris Culver weaves the detective's religion into the story in such a manner that displays Ash as a spiritual man, but a bad boy cop at the same time. As a Christian, I found myself chuckling at the way that Ash recognizes his duty to his religion but does what the 'flesh' tells him is necessary to seek justice; he does it without apology. No turning the other cheek here! Hooray for Ash and Chris Culver in this amazingly fresh look at crime fighting.
