Galleys that Went out this week:


DELICATE DAMES, by Barbara Grengs, author of the popular teen Toby Martin series.
Four filthy rich, entitled, spunky old broads livie in an upscale senior high rise in Mendota Heights, Minnesota where they fight their boredom by playing games, but their usual games of  canasta and poker have lost their allure. So what do the girls do to add excitement, adventure, fun and satisfaction? They invent Pop Goes the Weasel, a game where they plan to pop deserving old coots. Whats not to like about conspiring to commit murder?

LAKE EERIE: Haunted Homicide, by Thornton Parsons
   The police photographer snapped pictures of the body in the rowboat. Special Agent McCreary ruminated on the initial K that Renda had written in her own blood—she had recognized her killer! Trapped in a dark future between here and the hereafter, Renda Rousseau finds that even in death, she cannot escape the weasel with the Coke-bottle glasses who murdered her family. Despite her ethereal rage, she is unable to contact her twin sister, Brenda, who knows that Renda is still at the lake house. But, why? Renda will capture your heart as you join her on her heart-stopping quest to leave her ghostly realm and join David and her children in Heaven. But how? Is she doomed to haunt the lake house for eternity? Relive this riveting tale of love, betrayal, and death with Renda as she makes her way back Home. Or does she?


IS JESUS SERIOUS? A Garro Guide for Christians
    If, like me, you struggle with some of the behaviors Jesus asks of His followers and with St. Paul's telling us we are called to be saints, I write this 4th Volume in The Jesus Series, "Is Jesus Serious?" to speak to Christians' personal struggles to meet Jesus's and Paul's expectations.



Jack's News!
  by your Official Bookstore Cat,  
and Gossip Columnist.
HI everyone, 
   Jack here, your favorite bookstore cat.
   As for here at home  Not much is going on, so I was sure glad to hear from the following Authors!
   Members of the Writers Bloc reported on the launch for at Heritage Days in Mardella Springs went very well last weekend. Here's some quotes:

From Ann Foley:
   At next month's meeting, Tom plans to open discussion of the fifth anthology, so come prepared. Should Andy be allowed to suggest another theme? Should we even have a theme? If so, what? George suggested every story contain an recipe. He and Tom kicked edible titles around, but again I wasn't taking notes.
   We're nomads for the next couple months while the library refurbishes in October and uses its meeting rooms for their November book sale. Watch this space for exciting details of coming locations.

   I most ardently and profoundly hope that the theme decided upon will be "Pets and Other Non-Human Critters" The title alone should generate more interest in both wordsmiths and the reading public. Besides...I have a good one already written and ready for polishing!

From Aleta Davis:
   It sounded like a lot of fun in Sharptown.  I will be at Layton's Chance on Oct. 27th talking about my Spirit History book and other ghostly things, hoping to of course sell some books,  so will be thinking of Andy as well.  Aleta.

From Andy Nunez:
   Sorry to have missed Sharptown. I was in Cambridge that day at noon speaking to the Dorchester Historic Society.  Subject -- Ghosts, what else?

   Andy also reported that he is almost finished  with GHOSTWS III. I know Arline has been looking for it, because he will want it for Halloween and that's Next MONTH!!!
Meanwhile,  if any of you -- my favorite authors -- are going to festivals, or holding book signings, or have heard any good gossip, please let me know so I can pass the news along right here for all the world to See. 

Just drop an e-mail to: arline@mail.com  

with

"News for Jack" 

 in the subject line, and
I'll make sure it shows up here  
for all the world to see!
